Will Ospreay talks about previously working with Drew McIntyre.
Back in 2017, in WCPW, Will Ospreay came face to face with Drew McIntyre, then wrestling as Drew Galloway. The bout between the pair would go almost 20 minutes, with McIntyre coming away with the victory on that night.
In a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, Will Ospreay looked back on the match, and said he would wrestle McIntyre again any day of the week.
“I remember it super fondly. I have nothing but love for Drew and I hope he’s doing well. I haven’t kept in contact with him but I keep up with his work, and hope the same is mutual. If there was ever a chance to throw down I’d happily do it again. I think it was different as well because I had to work as a bad guy. That’s such a different thing for people because obviously when you see my aerial offence it is something that you can’t help but cheer. I had to pick those moments very well with those types of matches, and I had to really dictate the pace of that match so that when I did explode in my aerial offence, it was more out of desperation rather than to get a pop from the audience. It wasn’t difficult to put together because we’d wrestled each other beforehand, but I think it was more along the lines of we wanted to tell a bigger story within that building as well. So it was great, I flipping love wrestling with Drew and I’d happily do it any day of the week.”
Ospreay is currently set to defend the AEW International Championship against PAC at AEW All Out this Saturday. To read the advertised card so far, you can read more here.
