Will Ospreay Doesn’t Feel Right Using Storm Driver 91 After Hurting Bryan Danielson At AEW Dynasty
Will Ospreay doesn’t feel right using the Storm Driver 91.
Will Ospreay previously said that he was retiring the Storm Driver 91 after Bryan Danielson had an injury scare when he hit him with it at AEW Dynasty.
On June 4, Ospreay took to Twitter/X and looked back on the number of times he has hit the Storm Driver 91. He noted that the move was dangerous, and Danielson was lucky to be cleared so soon. Ospreay stated that he felt sick after the injury scare, and he did not feel right using the move and putting anyone through that.
Ospreay’s statement is as follows:
I think the same amount of times Misawa used the TD91 in his entire career, I’ve either hit the same amount or about to approach.
It’s such a dangerous move that I was just spamming it and that’s when something can go wrong.
Bryan got extremely lucky that he got clear within 2-3 weeks but in those minutes during Dynasty, I’ve never felt more sick in my entire life that I hurt someone I really look up too.
In comparison to the Hidden Blade, it’s a strike. You can protect yourself if the opponent is able to cover up but the TD91 there is no way to protect yourself which is why it’s been banned in American TV wrestling since its inception.
Wrestling is wrestling aye it’s a full contact but I just don’t feel right tempting this move anymore.
Other lads can do it, but just through my eyes, I don’t wanna put anyone through that again.
