The legendary video game musician has made a move to win a world championship
The last weekend of September, video game fans around the world gathered at the Makuhari Messe convention center for the Tokyo Game Show 2024. Among those fans was an All Elite Wrestling star and executive vice president Kenny Omega (Tyson Smith). Here, the wrestling star had the opportunity to meet legendary Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. And in true wrestling style, Uematsu made Omega submit.

Uematsu posted the encounter with Omega on his X (formerly Twitter) account on September 28. In his post, Uematsu gloated that he was the one who made Kenny Omega touch.

Who created Kenny Omega touching the cobra pose?
It's me! It's me!
Hours after Uematsu's post, Omega took to his X account to quote the musician's post. Omega, who is fluent in Japanese, admitted to exploiting the legendary Uematsu Cobra Twist.

I never imagined the first wrestling move I would receive after major surgery would be the legendary Uematsu Cobra Twist! His technique is perfect and there is no escaping it. I had no choice but to give up to avoid ending my career!😅
According to a May 24 What Culture article, Omega underwent surgery for diverticulitis in early 2024. It is unclear whether the wrestling star will return to performing in the ring.
