Alright, folks, gather ’round, because today I’m gonna tell you about my little adventure trying to become Kenny Omega. Yeah, the wrestler. I’ve always been a huge fan, and I figured, why not try to look like the guy for a bit? It sounded fun, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride.
Getting the Gear
First things first, I needed to get the right gear. Kenny has a pretty unique look, so I couldn’t just throw on any old thing. I started by watching a bunch of his matches, paying close attention to what he was wearing. I noticed he often rocks these colorful, flashy tights, so I went on a mission to find something similar.
- Tights: I hunted around for some eye-catching tights. Eventually found a pair that looked sort of like his. They were bright, had some cool patterns, and fit pretty well. Close enough, I thought!
- Boots: Kenny’s boots are a whole other story. I needed something tall, black, and with lots of laces. Found a pair at a costume store that seemed to do the job.
- Accessories: Then there were the little things. He’s got these wristbands, sometimes a bandana, and that iconic jacket. I grabbed some plain black wristbands and a black bandana, and for the jacket, I had to get creative. I found a black jacket that was kinda close, and I decided to modify it a bit to make it look more like Kenny’s.
The Hair Situation
Now, Kenny’s hair is a big part of his look. It’s long, it’s blonde, and it’s always styled in this specific way. My hair? Not so much. I’ve got shorter, darker hair, so I knew I was gonna need some help here. I considered a wig, but those can be tricky. In the end, I decided to just style my own hair as best as I could. I used a whole lot of hairspray and tried to get that signature Kenny Omega messy-but-cool look. It wasn’t perfect, but hey, I did my best.
Putting It All Together
With the clothes and hair sorted, it was time to put it all together. I put on the tights, laced up the boots, added the wristbands and bandana, and threw on the jacket. Then, I stood in front of the mirror and took a look. Did I look exactly like Kenny Omega? Nah, not really. But did I look like a guy who was trying his best to cosplay as Kenny Omega? Absolutely!
The Final Touch
I even tried to mimic some of his moves. I practiced his poses, his walk, and even tried to do a few of his signature moves in my living room. Let’s just say I’m not quite as athletic as the real Kenny. It was a good laugh, though, and I definitely felt like I was getting into character.
So, there you have it. That’s the story of how I attempted to become Kenny Omega for a little while. It was a fun experiment, and I gotta say, I have a newfound respect for cosplayers. It’s not as easy as it looks! But it’s definitely a blast to try.
