Jim Ross wants to call Bryan Danielson versus Will Ospreay at AEW Dynasty
The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay is set to compete in a dream match against Bryan Danielson at the AEW Dynasty PPV. The match is anticipated to be one of the best bouts in professional wrestling. Speaking on the Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross expressed that he would be surprised if the match doesn't get five stars.
"As a matter of fact, I think on Monday, I go back to the surgeon who finally has responded to my messages to evaluate my hip and tell me what he sees. I should have had that information a month ago, but in any event, that's a medical update. Bottom line: I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still targeting St. Louis [AEW Dynasty]. I sure hope that works out. I would do just about anything to call Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay. If it's not the match of the year, if it doesn't get five stars, I'll be surprised.” (H/T Wrestlingnews.co)
