In the wrestling world, where the arrival of a new superstar can set the scene ablaze faster than you can say “suplex,” Will Ospreay’s leap into All Elite Wrestling has sent shockwaves so powerful, they’ve got the legends sitting up in their La-Z-Boys. Among the thrilled is Matt Hardy, a man who’s seen more twists and turns in his career than a high-speed roller coaster.
On his podcast, “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy,” the veteran couldn’t contain his excitement, practically dubbing Ospreay the wrestling Messiah. “He’s not just a major player; he’s the whole game,” Hardy might as well have said. Praising Ospreay’s in-ring artistry and knack for gab, Hardy sees in Ospreay a beacon of hope for AEW’s future, likening him to a unicorn in a field of horses.
Not to be outdone in the praise department, ECW legend Tommy Dreamer chimed in, comparing Ospreay to Shawn Michaels, but without the 90s haircut. Dreamer, known for his own hardcore antics, sees in Ospreay a blend of athleticism and charisma that could very well make the man a legend.
Since donning the AEW colors, Ospreay has been on a tear, toppling giants and racking up wins like they were going out of style. From Konosuke Takeshita to Katsuyori Shibata, Ospreay’s been collecting victories like they’re limited edition action figures.
But the road ahead is no yellow brick road. Looming on the horizon is a showdown with Powerhouse Hobbs on “AEW Dynamite,” a match that promises more sparks than a fireworks factory. And let’s not forget the upcoming bout with “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty. That’s not just a match; it’s a clash of titans, a wrestling fan’s dream.
In a nutshell, Will Ospreay’s arrival in AEW has the wrestling world buzzing like a beehive on a hot summer day. If the legends are to be believed, we’re not just watching a wrestler; we’re witnessing the rise of a phenomenon. So grab your popcorn, folks. This show is just getting started.
