Its still real to Will Ospreay

[Kidd Dibiase]

Will Ospreay to WWE stars: “You guys aren’t wrestlers, you’re actors and you just do wrestling and I don’t think that’s a dig. You guys make way more money than me like, good on you, but I just feel like when I say proudly, ‘That’s a wrestler. I am a wrestler, I am not an actor,’"
But I know you guys can wrestle, you’re just not really allowed to show it, I guess.” said Will Ospreay, “But other than you want to make a lot of money and retire, that’s what WWE is kind of for these days.”

So he's doing 5 flips before a dive outside because it's more realistic and not acting?

How many injuries has will ospreay had exactly

 

[Norrin Radd]

I mean he's not wrong. They're sports entertainers

That being said, that whole quote reeks of jealousy.

 

[Mob H]

Barely any of this shyt these days is "wrestling" if you really wanna go there. They all do the same flips, dives, strikes, and kicking out of shyt that should end a match in both promotions so what even is his argument?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

My man is where he is right now because Kenny Omega wanted to go play with his buddies in America

Which reminds me



Now he’s whining Kenny responded to him

“We’re just not on good terms right now, I just want to leave it,” Ospreay said. “It’s just, when you leave the building, and when you leave New Japan and you pull me to one side and say, ‘Hey man, you need to step up for this company, I believe in you,’ all this and gas you up, and they gas you up hard. You put your heart and f*cking soul into trying to make this because the bar was high for both myself and Jay, the bar was high, and once again, I actually care.

“I want the fans to watch New Japan Wrestling and be like, ‘This is f*cking professional wrestling,’ and I am f*cking doing it and destroying my f*cking body to do it, and then you cut me off online, what type of a c**t is that? Do you know what I mean? Like, I look at you and I actually hold you in f*cking high regards, like actual high regards and I respect everything that you’ve done. Even when you’ve done that f*cking barbed wire exploding match and it f*cking went to s--t, I actually was the type of guy that went out and said, ‘Oh, I hope they are alright,’ because the bombardment of tweets that you get, I was probably the only guy that f*cking did that.

“Instead, the way that you retaliate is by burying me to your f*cking sh*tty little fans, it’s just like, I am literally doing my f*cking best. So, that’s kind of why like me and Kenny just don’t get along it’s just one of those things, I am sure he’s got something else to say, and whatever

I wonder if he's working or shooting. I don't remember this much stuff coming out before he went heel.

Yeah I get y'all's frustrations but are you really trying to go back to chinlocks and attomic drops?

Yeah some stuff is over the top but in comparison to what we used to get the modern style is alot more entertaining.

 

[Boondox Black]

Didn't Vader call out Ocean Spray for being a fake wrestler?

 

[Cal Cutta]

An acrobat calling out sports entertainers and no wrestling was to be found anywhere...

 

[Max.]

Remember when he was accused of rape and him and his gf at the time were intimidating rhe accuser

What WE (assuming you grew up during the 90s or early 2000s) used to get was a whole era of wrestling that wasn't just "chinlocks and atomic drops" but also wasn't just superkick spam, flips, and constant diving to the outside.

No lies told. It's the direction they're going to lean more heavily into with Nick Khan at the helm.

How many injuries has will ospreay had exactly

Way too many. Surprising he hasn't been forced to retire given the amount of concussions and the neck injury.

Stop. Ospreay has just about as many ***** matches as Omega while being 10 years younger.

Ospreay is a better character and better on the mic.

I wonder if he's working or shooting. I don't remember this much stuff coming out before he went heel.

It's probably a mix of both. His character is an a$$hole prick who is egotistical and obsessed with being the best.

And I'm sure a lot of wrestlers outside of WWE feel exactly what Ospreay is feeling about this.
