Paul Wight On Will Ospreay: Super Positive, Super Hard Work Ethic, Gets The Business

Paul Wight comments on Will Ospreay, noting that he is super positive, has a super hard work ethic and that he gets the wrestling business.

Ospreay recently returned from a neck injury that kept him out of action since AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door last year, and has continued to be the fan favorite that had the fans in his corner prior to his injury. Now, he has another name backstage in AEW in his corner.

While speaking on Under The Mat with Simon Miller, Paul Wight was asked about Will Ospreay, with Wight noting that he could see ‘loving him like a son’ like several names he’s worked with in the past.

“I love him. Well, we haven’t got a chance to work together, so that would bring him in the son category. I have Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, Big E, Kevin Owens. Miro. There’s a lot of those guys that I think of as my kids. Ospreay’s not… there yet, but he could be because of his energy, and I’ll tell you why. Super positive. Super hard work ethic. Gets the business, the industry, incredible love for wrestling and for going out there and giving everything for the fans.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Wight provided an update on his in ring future. You can read more about that here.
