AEW International Champion Will Ospreay wants to keep working with former TNA President Scott D’Amore.
During a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, Ospreay heaped praise on the former TNA Wrestling president.
Ospreay made appearances at TNA Wrestling events in late 2023 and early 2024, allowing him to get an in-person glimpse of how the promotion was run by D’Amore. However, shortly after Ospreay worked his last date for TNA, it was suddenly announced that D’Amore had parted ways with the promotion. D’Amore had a long history with TNA and was under a year into his role as president before his departure.
Reports suggested that D’Amore had attempted to purchase TNA from its current owner and that his exit was due to disagreements between the two parties about how the promotion should be run.
With D’Amore out of his recent TNA Wrestling role, Ospreay wouldn’t mind him joining AEW.
“I can’t tell you how much respect I have for Scott D’Amore,” Ospreay told Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez. “If there was anything that I would want to put out there, if there was a way that AEW could hire Scott D’Amore in any type of fashion like, have that guy run Ring of Honor or something because [of] the passion he had for TNA and just how he completely, single-handedly transformed that company.”
Ospreay credited D’Amore for cultivating a roster that he believed embodies what TNA is supposed to be.
“I saw Josh Alexander in there, I saw Jordynne Grace in there, I saw Gisele Shaw, I saw all of these guys,” Ospreay explained. “And I just looked and was like ‘Yeah man, that was TNA. That is TNA. All those guys that they got there backstage, all those guys that they got there now, that is TNA.'”
