Matthew Jackson praises Will Ospreay.
For years, Ospreay has widely been regarded as one of the best wrestlers on the planet. He has remained in the conversation since he officially joined AEW in March. Ospreay is now in his second reign as AEW International Champion, and he has faced various stars, including MJF.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso for Undisputed, Matthew Jackson shared his thoughts on Will Ospreay.
“When we first met Will many years ago, we called him a wrestling prodigy,” Jackson said. He was young and inexperienced but so far ahead of everybody else. And it all came so easy to him. We’d whisper to each other about how he was probably going to end up being the best wrestler in the world one day, but how we couldn’t let him know that because we didn’t want that to go to a young man’s developing brain. We didn’t want to feed his ego [laughs]. Now, all these years later, and he’s clearly the best in-ring wrestler on the planet. And I’m not sure it’s even close.”
At AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, the Young Bucks will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher.
