Bears beats Ospreay.
TNT Overdrive premiered on Saturday, August 10th following AEW Collision. AEW stars are part of the show, setting up clips and telling stories.
In one segment, Ospreay was fantasy booked against a Grizzly Bear.
"A grizzly bear? Are you mad? A bear? I am very good at professional wrestling and can handle myself in situations with fans and in bar fights, but I'm not going to lie, a grizzly bear is about five times the size of me. I'm only little and my ma has to look after me every now and again. I'd appreciate it if I didn't get into a fight with a grizzly bear. I ain't getting into a fight with a bear, you're mad. Grizzly bear. Black bear. Polar bear. I'm screwed, bruv. I'd be dead. I don't think there is any surviving here. Unless it's like a koala bear. I could handle a koala bear real good. I'd mess up a koala bear any day of the week. They're adorable. I think they have diseases. I wouldn't want to be holding one anytime soon. I think they gave someone chlamydia. I'm not joking. I think I read that on a news article. Or gonorrhea. It was one of them. It's a genuine story," he said.
According to Wildlife Genomics, though chlamydia is a major disease threat to koalas, humans "are unable to catch Chlamydia from holding or touching a koala as the species which infects koalas is different from the species which infects humans."
