Will Ospreay recently took part in a Reddit AMA session, discussing his recent match with Vader, how he has to start slowing it down in the ring, and more. Below are some highlights.
Ospreay on needing to slow it down now: “100%. I do need to slow it down, I guess I get lost in the moment. I still think like a wrestling fan, I still think, ‘what do they want to see?’ When you’re out there, you hardly feel the injuries. The main thing to prove to everyone is that yeah, I might get hurt, but I’m not going to die. Dave Meltzer released a list of my injuries, but most of them came from backyard wrestling. I appreciate everyone’s concern, but I’m okay.”
His thoughts on wrestling Big Van Vader: “Go on Highspots, buy the thing. I was so drunk when I talked about this. I’m quite happy to leave it at what it is. It was an experience, I’ve done it, it’s on my CV. Would I want to do it again? F**k no.”
Ospreay on saying “Pip, pip, cheerio motherf**ker” in his match with Ricochet: “Honestly, hand on heart, I have no idea why I said that. I don’t know why I said it. And now it’s stuck. Why have I said that?”
Who he would want for his Survivor Series team: “Obviously traditional it would be all the Chaos guys, Okada, Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI and Goto. But if I was going British guys, I guess me, Marty [Scurll], Pete [Dunne], honestly, I’d put Ryan Smile in there, Ryan’s one of the most entertaining guys in Britain right now. One more? Don’t know, f**king hell. [Marty off-screen: PICK ZACK!] Okay, Zack [Sabre Jr.].
On amusing stories with the Chaos Lads: “Not got any hilarious stories. I’ve got this story when I was out with Okada, Rocky, Trent, Gedo in Taiwan. Me being me, I was like ‘cool, picture, picture, picture’. We’re on the way back and I’m half asleep, and I all of a sudden stop, wake up and see a sign and say, “OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, PIZZA HUT!” Okada didn’t understand. I’m a boring person, apologies.”
