”Can you get out of here please? Can you get out of here? ”
Will Ospreay said that AJ Styles influenced his career
During the rise of TNA, there was one guy who stood head and shoulders above everyone on the roster - AJ Styles. He brought a unique style of action that captivated audiences and influenced the next generation of stars including Will Ospreay.
During a recent interview with SHAK Wrestling, Ospreay mentioned how he was influenced by the Phenomenal One and he hopes to do the same for the next generation of wrestlers:
"AJ gave me so much and he was complimentary and has opened the doorways to allow me to not only make a lot of money but to inspire the next generation. I'm extremely grateful for that and I'm so just thankful that I can be in a position where so many guys have come up to me and said, 'You're the reason I got into wrestling.'"
It will be interesting to see what will be next in store for Will Ospreay following this heartbreaking loss to Swerve Strickland.
