Jeff Jarrett Comments on “I Think Will Ospreay Is The Most Athletically Gifted Wrestler In The World Today”

A recent episode of the My World with Jeff Jarrett podcast featured co-host Jeff Jarrett’s thoughts about his current belief that Will Ospreay is the “most athletically gifted wrestler in the world today.”

“I have retold this story the other day. I was doing the media rounds, maybe it was for launching My World, but it’s been a couple years ago, and they were asking about all kinds of Mount Rushmore questions and athletic performance and best matches, just all kinds of random questions, and it came up about who’s a great storyteller. I jumped at that opportunity to say I think Bryan Danielson, in I’ll call it the modern era, is the best storyteller in wrestling. I truly believe that, and I think he has a consistent, uncanny ability to tell different stories at different pacing. I’ll just say, the story of a match, Bryan is very, very good at it. Will’s athletic ability, he’s at a different level. I think Kurt Angle in his prime was athletically at a different level. I think Shawn Michaels in his prime, different level athletically. I think Will is right now the most athletically gifted wrestler in the world today. I think that is going to be something that they highlight in numerous ways. Not saying that Will and Kenny and Will and many others haven’t told great stories. I’m looking forward to seeing the entire body of it. As we said, they got my money. That is in essence a big part of the AEW narrative. Pay-per-view matches and shows take things to a different level, and I think that’s something that we lean into about being the alternative brand, the challenger brand. I’m damn sure looking forward to it.”
