Will Ospreay recently appeared as a guest on the Swerve City podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, "The Aerial Assassin" spoke about feeling sick from exhaustion or anxiety during recent matches and when he felt like he truly belonged in AEW.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On feeling sick from exhaustion or anxiety during his recent matches: "I’ve been feeling sick and I don’t know whether it’s like anxiety or maybe it’s just the exhaustion from traveling back and forth so much, man. But that’s a real thing, every single week I get on a flight from London, Heathrow [Airport] and I go to whatever state that I’m required to go to in America. But, like, I’ve been feeling sick, man, like in all of my matches, like even the one against Cesaro, at one point I generally thought I was going to throw up in the ring."
On feeling like he belonged in AEW for the first time when he faced Bryan Danielson: "I was so worried, I kept saying to myself, ‘Man, like, don’t be sick, like don’t, like got to be in control of all of this.’ The moment that bell rung, it was just … there was nothing, man. There was nothing like blocking me, there was nothing making me feel like I don’t belong here. Like even when I [had] done the Kenny match and the Jericho match, I still feel like I was punching up. For the first time, like, I generally felt like I was meant to be a part of this."
