Can you imagine Will Ospreay in the squared circle on "The Grandest Stage of Them All."
He can.
The decorated international pro wrestling star recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet for an interview on his "INSIGHT" podcast, during which he spoke about the possibility of performing for WWE on the world stage at WrestleMania.
“Of course I would love to wrestle in front of 80,000 people who wouldn’t want to wrestle? But like, in the same sense of, I’m not going to lose sleep if I never do it," Ospreay said. "But you know what I mean? Like I never wanted to get to this level of fame with wrestling. I just enjoyed doing it on the weekends. And New Japan offers me a lot of money, and I was just like ‘Whoa, I can make money from this.’ Here’s the thing I told you this, but like WWE, TNA and New Japan were on the table at the same time. And like the selling point in New Japan was that I get to come home. WWE, I have to move there [to the United States], TNA, most likely the same thing and it wasn’t guaranteed money. In New Japan, I get to come home. And I’m a real home guy. So like the fact that I’ve got to come home was like, incredible.”
Ospreay added, “I’m very confident me and New Japan are going to work something out because I don’t want to live in America. That’s my full stop thing. I just don’t want to. It limits me.”
