I really Appreciate the knee drop. Because it looks like he’s about to snap this girls spine but instead he stomps his foot to make a loud sound and then drops her gently on his knee. She’s fine and it’s a classic move for stage fighting. This is so well choreographed too I love it.

Then the hair grab as well. Again, it’s a simple staging technique. I learned this in high school theater, myself. It’s a gentle grab that the kiddo is leading as to not cause pain. I love it

I really appreciate how, because she's so young and he has to be careful not to hurt her, you can see it's fake. Usually the wrestlers put a lot of work into making it look as real as possible (often at great risk to their own health and safety, which obviously you can't do with a kid), but the mismatch here gives just enough space to see how it's done. It's like watching a young-but-decent magician and being able to follow the moves; you can see the performance, which you don't usually get to see in wrestling.

Detail that I think is worth talking about: this match has been used to justify death threats to Kenny Omega that continue to this day.

Wrestling fandom has an especially nasty minority of masculinity-worshiping assholes who balk at...well, a lot of things about Kenny. One of those things is that Kenny has a lot of respect for Japanese women in the industry, with badass butch goofball Ryo Mizunami being his biggest influence. The other is his interest in the artistic possibilities of wrestling, trying to expand what wrestling can be. Both of those things are on display here.

Omega himself has never expressed anything but pride in it.
