During last week’s WhatCulture Pro Wrestling tapings in Newcastle, The Tag Rope had the opportunity to sit down and speak with the 2016 Best of the Super Juniors, Will Ospreay.
When the subject of Vader was raised, Ospreay launched into an expletive-laden tirade that perhaps seemed out of character for the 23-year-old. Ospreay faces Vader on Friday August 12 for Revolution Pro Wrestling. Below are some quotes from Ospreay on the current Vader feud:
On Vader calling him out publicly:
“I’ve got such a problem with the guy because he’s directed so much abuse at me, and the fact is now that he’s been called out about it, he’s saying, ‘Oh, Will Ospreay could be good, Will Ospreay could be this’. And it’s like, ‘No mate, you got caught out because everyone’s battering you’”.
On his match against Vader:
“Here’s what’s going to happen. I am going to fuck Vader up big-time. It’s not even going to be a wrestling match; it’s going to be a fight. And I am going to embarrass him, I am going to outflip him, I am going to do everything that pisses him off and I’m going to show everybody why wrestling has evolved, and the evolution starts with me.”
On EVOLVE’s contract offer:
“It’s a very selfish thing I’m about to say, but I need to think about me. And not just the brand of Will Ospreay. I’ve had other offers come in and I’m just trying to swim in an ocean full of talent and trying to stay relevant and trying to keep doing what I do. It’s been an incredible journey and I want to keep it going, I want to help out, I want to do more things.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
