Most Beloved Wrestler Ship Tournament
ROUND 2 - #16
Kenny Omega X "Speedball" Mike Bailey
Chris Brookes X Zack Sabre Jr
Propaganda:
KO x SMB
-It’s pure delusion but I think I could convince people -hey guys. sorry. understander here. this is a one-sided ship, just to not get anything twisted; speedball at many points idolizes and hypes up kenny with very little praise or even interaction in return. kenny is an insanely successful canadian professional wrestler who found his own way in the business, took the roads less traveled, and became one of the most popular wrestlers in the world for it. kenny is proof, along myriad other unorthodox wrestlers in the late 2000s to early 2010s, that someone like speedball could make it. they want to team with him and care for him but above all they want to TEST themselves on him. after all, cloud beats sepiroth. the ultima weapon beats the one-winged angel. and basically any time speedball praises kenny he gets weird about it because of [INSERT MYRIAD KENNY OMEGA SELF-WORTH ISSUES HERE]. it's good 👍
CB x ZSJ
-They have a whole storyline that goes years now, in New Japan and DDT. They are each other's biggest supporters in everything, Chis cried when Zack won the G1 a couple of years ago. -the sheer amount of sexual chemistry radiating from even just a photo of them in the same vicinity -In short - they can’t get enough of each other. Exhibit A: DDT April Fool 2024 Exhibit B: ZSJ wins the G1 and gets surprised by Chris Brookes backstage (skip to 15:00 in the linked video) Exhibit C: The photoshoot/interview they did when they were each the top champion of their respective companies at the same time Exhibit D: By his own admission, Zack told Chris about his IWGP championship win before he told his own mother! (Sadly I do not have a freely accessible link for this one.) Exhibit E: DDT Wrestle Peter Pan 2025 Exhibit F: The time that ZSJ skipped out on NJPW’s World Tag League to wrestle in Chris’s ‘Baka Gaijin and Friends’ 3rd anniversary show…which sadly ended in Zack getting shot and dying in Chris’s arms… (Skip to 2:10:30 for the events leading up to this tragic accident) Sadly, it was not true love’s kiss but a can of Sapporo that revived him. 😂 Exhibit G: DDT ultimate party, December 2025 Exhibit H: From a DDT show in 2026 Exhibit I: What happens in Manila stays in Manila…
I did end up finding the video evidence for Exhibit D - and it was right here on Tumblr! (Credit: schadentekkers)
