Will Ospreay Says He Pitched Tony Khan To Do An AEW Show In The Colosseum

Will Ospreay discusses asking Tony Khan to rent out The Colosseum.

In recent years, AEW has done numerous shows in big venues. Will Ospreay has been a fan of this, and he has a place in his mind where he wants AEW to do a show as well.

Speaking with Baby Huey of 107.7 The Bone, Ospreay said he wants to see a wrestling musical. He even pitched Khan to do a show in The Colosseum.

“I feel like, honestly, wrestling for me is such a broad spectrum where I don’t label one thing as like, ‘This is wrestling.’ I think wrestling has no boundaries, no limits. Honestly, one of these days I want to see a wrestling musical. I think that would be hilarious. … For me, the best bit about AEW right now is these crazy venues that we’ve been doing. These venues have been amazing, right? I’ve heard Tony saying that he wants to go and explore different markets. I’ve heard it was Puerto Rico that he recently said, he said France. 

There are so many crazy, intricate venues that we could find ourselves in, right? In Italy, I found out that they’ve been renting out The Colosseum to do nightclub events, DJ events. I was just like, ‘Mate if we did a pro wrestling event in The Colosseum, it would be incredible.’ I don’t know. I’ve wrestled in Italy before on a small indie, and there was like 120 people, but they were wild. I don’t know what the reach is there. But if there was wrestling in The Colosseum, I’m going. 

I’d come out in a little Trojan horse, little toga on. Man, I love it. … I sent him a link just being like, ‘Look, we could rent this building out, mate.’ So maybe if enough people push him into it, it’ll probably happen.” 

Elsewhere in the interview, Ospreay said that Mark Davis could be an amazing World Champion in AEW. Fans can read his full comments here.
