Will Ospreay Reflects On Ten-Year Anniversary Of NJPW BOSJ Bout With Ricochet
On May 27, 2016, Ricochet and Will Ospreay broke wrestling social media when they faced off in the Best of Super Juniors tournament.
The match was clipped and highlighted to show the athleticism of both men, with some fans being in awe of what they could do, and others being upset at the number of flips.
Since then, both men have gone to new heights, though they found each other again back in AEW.
On social media, Ospreay reflected on the ten-year anniversary of the bout.
10 years ago today was the match that changed everything. It’s crazy how quick time has flown by.
Seeing where me and ricochet are now in our careers makes me smile.
Grateful to have been part of the “flippy shit” generation.
