Top AEW star “The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed a number of topics, including how he felt validated by the crowd’s reaction during his match with Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty 2024.
Ospreay said, “We’re standing in there looking at one another, he’s got this big smile on his face. I just couldn’t help but look around just being like ‘Man, there’s 7,000 people in here.’ I thought for the life of me I would have been just a kid in Japan for the rest of my life. I thought that was going to be me, and then just to stand there and look at him and just be like ‘Oh my God, here it is.’ I said ‘Sir, this is going to be a pleasure,’ and then we backed up and the bell rang. I was just like ‘Let’s go.’ I felt like I finally did it. When Brian and Kenny stood in the ring, the bell rang and the place stood up, I always wanted to be one of those guys. At that moment I was like, ‘Oh s**t, I finally did it. I’m one of those guys now.’”
