Kenny Omega gives an honest answer as to why Being The Elite came to an end.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Kenny Omega recently sat down with Adi Shankar. While discussing Being The Elite, Omega gave a very open and honest answer as to why the popular YouTube series came to an end.
“The thing is, it was like myself, the Bucks, Hangman, Cody. It was like all of us, respectful, polite individuals, always trying to do things — we would never go out of our way to maliciously hurt anybody,” Kenny Omega said. “And if ever we did anything in character in that manner was to tell a story and ultimately be in jest.
“But as the times changed, and I was actually recently watching some old clips back when I was joking around with the Bucks because they were going through some old footage, we’re just laughing at all these old scenes. We’re just doing the silliest of things, and it’s like we knew we were joking. People loved what we were doing back then. And they’re all laughing with us and at us, and we love that they were.
“But we’re just like, man, isn’t it kind of sad that we just can’t do it anymore? And it’s like, who did we hurt by doing this? Nobody. Who’d we hurt if we did it again today? Nobody. But it would offend somebody, and then that somebody would go out of their way to make sure they would hurt us. You know what I mean? And they would feel empowered by that. And that’s like, okay, well I’ll just stay in my shell and just do what I’m being paid to do then. That part of it was kind of a Debbie Downer.”
Matt Jackson recently teased that there’s a chance Being The Elite could get a proper sendoff at some point. You can check out those comments here.
