You got a white gaijin in Japan, who speaks the language, and is open about what a nerd he is, inserting video game references into his moveset (appropriate weeb-y ones too, like Street Fighter or FF). And he wrestles a style like everyone's CAW from when they were kids, where he just strings varied high-impact moves together. All his mannerisms and expression are also that of a guy who's acting like he's in an anime, which don't always look ridiculous because NJPW has the best photographers in the best and can make him look like a million bucks. And then on top of all this, you have the biggest tastemaker in the industry saying he's not just the best contemporary wrestler, but the absolute GOAT.
It's all part of their power fantasy. It's part of why, when you point out that he's a shoot fag, they cope will always be how it's just a work for the jap females, or how he totally slayed a bunch of jap pussy. Because that's all part of their dream too. The vast majority of this board all fantasizes about being a pro wrestler, and Kenny is the archetype for all the basic bitch /v/ crossposters on here.
