I think Will Ospreay is RIGHT on the edge of "getting" pro wrestling, the way main event stars do. You look at guys like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Edge, even Swerve Strickland to some extent, and how they worked on the undercard vs how they work now, and you can see that they used to do every move they possibly could in every match, but at some point they learned how to tell stories instead and now they know when to save those big moves for, and are also aware that to stay in that main event spot, they can't be hurting themselves every 3 months Another great example is Rey Mysterio. He was capable of things few people in this world could do, high flyers these days STILL can't touch prime Rey Mysterio. But he always had such a good foundation of fundamentals that he understood how to use those amazing athletic feats to tell a great story, so when he got older, and could no longer do those amazing moves, he could still have great matches. I think Will is RIGHT on the cusp of making that realization, he's figured out how to translate his charisma to the American TV audience, he just sometimes gets wrapped up in the spotfest instincts and doing all his big spots in matches that are basically meaningless. He hasn't figured out how to reinvent himself for longevity yet, like "Will Ospreay, but in his 40s" he hasn't thought about that guy yet. If he can figure out how to smooth out that part of his game, he will be an all time great star
and who exactly are you to say what someone else wants is wrong how about you shut up and go cry in a corner because you're nobody so shut up and know your place and your place isn't in Billy's life or mind keep your nonsense to yourself
Ospreay once said (ironically) that he wants to retire billy Gunn so he can be the only billy there.
Of course he will choose Ospreay.
He is after all the Aerial ASSassin.
Don't retire Monty. You've still got it bro
Where there's a Will, there's a way
"I'm scared bruv! You know where the ass is!"
Do this as will being a heel
dont want to see that man retire, i would much rather see y2j retire & go to hollywood cause terrifier 2 & 3 are amazing
There isn't a person who enjoy being in wrestling more than Billy Gunn
I love Will. He is awesome.
He wants uncle Dave to give him 9 stars.
Billy- I finally got 9 star match from Dave Melzer
Dave Melzer: nah, 1 star for you, 8 stars for will
How is this dude 60-61? Good Lord. Billy Gunn is yoked!
I’d rather retire by facing an overpaid, shortcoming in metrics, poser of a pro wrestler while being a full-on circus aerobatic performer.
Will ospreay is the new Aj Styles

Lmao, stfu bruh, ain't nobody reading that
Although I’d love to see that, I feel like ospreay is still going up on retiring, not at that level yet to retire guys like Billy Gunn
That's if Will Ospreay doesn't retire before Billy
Don’t worry, I’m sure Ospreay will come out of retirement for the match.
If I was him I would go to WWE and finish my career off in the right place. Not at some stain on the wrestling industry.
Billy’s lost his mind. He wants a mark to retire him instead of a real star
Calling will osprey is mark by a wwe mark 🤡

Will is over rated af
