Will Ospreay: I Always Get Inspired All The Time By Kenny Omega

Will Ospreay feels that he always gets inspired by Kenny Omega when asked who on the AEW roster inspires him.

Omega and Ospreay’s careers have been tied together over the past several years, with the pair being fierce rivals as well as allies in All Elite Wrestling in different stages of their runs with the promotion.

While speaking to Wrestling Brain in a new interview, Will Ospreay was asked about who still inspires him in wrestling, with Will pointing to Kenny Omega.

“I mean, Kenny, I always get inspired by all the time. Like, I mean, I was in the Tokyo Dome when Kenny first rose to his prominence where he wrestles Okada for the first time, and it was at that moment where I was just kind of like, ‘okay, that’s the wall that I need to climb,’ and we’ve had so many- look, we’ve had two matches, one at the Tokyo Dome and one at Forbidden Door. We’ve won one each, and something sours me about the second one because maybe I did need Don to beat him, but I want to be able to be in a position where I could say, honestly, like, I think I could beat Kenny Omega clean. I don’t want to have that one day, but Kenny inspires me all the time to have the thing that happened to him where he nearly died. Like, I think, I think we all like blow past that and we don’t talk about it enough, but like, he actually was like so close to dying and he’s back and he’s looking the best that he’s looked in flipping years, man. He’s smashing it.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Ospreay spoke about wanting to hit the Tiger Driver on Jon Moxley at AEW Dynasty. You can read more about that here.
