It was a memorable night for Ospreay.
It was nearly three months ago that Will Ospreay was on the bill for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium in London, England. In his home country, Ospreay scored a pin fall victory over Chris Jericho.
He looked back on that day during a chat with Comicbook.com. He told the outlet it was the coolest thing he’s ever done.
Oh man, I was scared (Ospreay said about AEW All In). I just remember feeling like I’ve done it now. The maximum I’ve ever performed in front of was 40,000 at Wrestle Kingdom. This was twice as many. I was worried that my stuff was going to get lost, or not as big of a reaction as what it could get. Maybe I’m not the guy that they really want in this position. Maybe it should have gone to someone else. That’s all going through my mind.
The moment the music was playing, just that bit of the piano, I could just feel my heart coming out of my chest. So flipping scared. Family’s here, everyone is here just wanting to just enjoy wrestling in England, wrestling of this caliber and stage.
Going out and hearing people sing my song… man… I literally heard people screaming it and then pointing up to the sky and when the fireworks were going off, just watching it, it felt like two minutes. It felt like everything was going in slow motion. Then to get in the ring and the bell rung and then just 80,000 people do the olé! chants. Oh man, it was just the coolest thing. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done.
Come January, Ospreay is going to be in action at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18. He’ll be in a three-way with David Finlay and Jon Moxley. A new championship that NJPW is creating will be on the line.
