Speedball Mike Bailey explains why he looks to names like Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega for promo inspiration.
Mike Bailey, Kenny Omega, and Will Ospreay are three names better known for their wrestling skills than their promos. Still, Bailey looks to the other two for inspiration on how to improve his promos. He explained to Renee Paquette during a recent appearance on AEW Close-Up that he enjoys their more natural style of speaking when cutting a promo, explaining that he doesn't like the "wrestler voice."
"I think Kenny Omega, I think Will Ospreay. Because there are people that, again, the promo style in Japan, you don't cut a promo, it's very different. There's a lot more talking like a normal human being. I feel like those are two guys who sound natural when they cut promos. It's their actual voice."
Elsewhere in the interview, he spoke about how his team with Kevin Knight came together.
Bailey and Knight will challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Titles at AEW All In: Texas. Check out the full card for the event here. Fightful will have full coverage of the event on July 12.
