Will Ospreay discusses how his AEW schedule will be full-time.
Will Ospreay officially joined AEW in February, as he wrapped up his commitments with NJPW earlier in the month. He competed at AEW Revolution and scored a buzzworthy win against Konosuke Takeshita.
During the AEW Revolution post-show media scrum, Will Ospreay was asked about how being able to stay in the United Kingdom factored into his choice to sign with AEW and what his schedule would look like. (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
“What’s the question, what’s your schedule looking like? I’m getting in a relationship with another professional wrestler, Alex Windsor. She’s great, and now I’m a position where I’m a a parent. The first time I told people, everyone went, ‘You?’ [Laughs] I can’t tell you enough what the girl and that kid have done for me. I wish I could be so open about what those two mean to me. They’ve gone through a lot for me, and I could not ask them to uproot their life, their school life. If you know my missus and you know her story, she’s gone through so much. She’s a genuine warrior. I could not have asked for a better partner to go through this whole thing.
“For her, I couldn’t have asked to do that. The majority of the travel, it’s so much less than Japan. Japan was like 15 hours at one point because there’s bloody going on in Russia and the Ukraine. We weren’t allowed to go through their airspace, we had to go underneath. It was horrible. So coming over here, it’s not actually as bad. I don’t mind it. My schedule is full-time, dude. I want to be here every single week, delivering the best matches that I physically can.“
Will Ospreay Is Willing To Go To Work
Wil Ospreay then made it clear that he feels like he fits in AEW, as it has the most elite roster of all time. He stated that he is willing to go through everyone, as he’s ready to go to work.
“This is what I’ve been preaching over in New Japan,” Will Ospreay said. “The work that I’ve put out throughout all those eight years of doing it, it was the hardest thing leaving it. But this fits like a glove. This is where the best wrestlers in the world are. This is the most elite roster of all time. We are so blessed to be blessed to be living in this moment.
“I’m so blessed to have a dressing room where there are people like Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong and Takeshita, Sting, Orange Cassidy. I’m gonna have a long list of guys to go through, and I’m willing to tick off every single person, I’m willing to go to work.”
Ospreay is scheduled to face Kyle Fletcher on the March 6 episode of AEW Dynamite.
