Will Ospreay has a lot of respect for Alex Shelley.
"The Aerial Assassin" spoke with Scott Mitchell of PWMania.com about his upcoming string of matches for IMPACT Wrestling, as well as the possibility of squaring off against Alex Shelley in the future.
"I’ve been a huge admirer of Shelley for God knows how long," he said. "I remember I used to be in a tag team with AEW’s Kip Sabian when we were back-yarding. We would model ourselves after the Motor City Machine Guns. We are completely inspired by everything that Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin have done, and to see how Shelley getting his flowers and being a World Champion front and center where he should have been for such a long time, is incredible."
Ospreay continued, "The fact that I’ve never crossed paths with Shelley is something that’s truly mind-blowing. So, if that opportunity were to come about, to do Shelley vs. Ospreay, I would love nothing more than to test myself against somebody that I hold to a very high standard.”
Ospreay is scheduled to face "Speedball" Mike Bailey at IMPACT Bound For Glory 2023, Josh Alexander the following night at the IMPACT On AXS TV Bound For Glory Fallout taping, and Eddie Edwards at the IMPACT Turning Point 2023 special event the following week as part of the IMPACT U.K. Tour.
