Former TNA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Josh Alexander recently wrestled Will Ospreay on TNA Wrestling’s latest episode. After the match, the Walking Weapon shared his thoughts on the match and his opponent, The Aerial Assassin.
Both stars put on a tough battle. Despite getting close to victory, the Aerial Assassin was unable to get the win. Josh Alexander appreciated Ospreay for wrestling on the show and respected him for doing so as well. The Walking Weapon also called himself the ‘World Beater’ and mentioned that everyone should be watching TNA from now on.
“From one TNA kid to another. All the respect in the world for Will. He didn’t have to take this match. But he wanted to step foot in a TNA ring while he could. He brought out the best in me. Now I know who I am. I am a world beater. All eyes on TNA now. I’m just getting started,” Josh Alexander tweeted.
Will Ospreay also took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the former TNA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion. The Aerial Assassin also mentioned that Josh Alexander was the right guy to lead the company to grand success. Ospreay also mentioned that he would like to see The Walking Weapon compete in New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Climax this year.
“TNA is back. So much respect for @Walking_Weapon he is without a doubt the right guy to have leading the charge. I would want nothing more to see you in the G1 this year. Thank you all for allowing me to tick off the letters that created me. *Photo emoji* @Beezzzzy | @IMPACTWRESTLING,” Will Ospreay said in the tweet.
“What you want to be is the world beater”
Ospreay also spoke with WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard about how he was approaching the match, and pushing Alexander to that “world beater” rank.
“Being the face of something is great, but what you want to be is the world beater,” Ospreay said. “Everybody in every company has a guy that they can say you can beat the world. WWE got Roman [Reigns]. With AEW, you had Kenny Omega. With New Japan, you can even say it’s me. TNA, we need the guy that we can say, ‘Alright, you’re our world beater. You’re the guy that we want to go against the best wrestlers in the world and know that you’re going to represent us.’”
“So going forward, I am the world beater. I’ve gone everywhere, and beaten every single person that they put in front of me. This is it, [Josh has] one shot. The entire landscape of TNA going forward lies on your shoulders. You have 60 minutes on the clock. You’ve got to put away the best wrestler in the world today. Can you do it? That’s the biggest question. That’s why people need to be excited because this is Josh’s one and only shot to say that ‘I can be the best wrestler in the world, and I can put TNA on my back with all the momentum it has and carry it further.’”
