Bryan Danielson: Will Ospreay is even ‘more incredible than you think’
After facing him in the ring, Bryan Danielson is even more impressed with Will Ospreay than he was before.
Danielson and Ospreay met in a first-time-ever dream match at AEW Dynasty this April. Living up to its pre-match hype, the match was widely regarded as an instant classic. Ospreay got the victory in a matchup between two of the best in-ring competitors of this era.
During an interview with TalkSport this week, Danielson heaped praise on Ospreay.
“You see how good Will Ospreay is, right? You see it when you watch him. And then you wrestle him and he’s more incredible than you think,” Danielson said. “When I was wrestling him I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, how is it possible?’ I didn’t know he was going to be that good at interviews. He’s really good at every aspect of wrestling.”
Ospreay came up short when he faced Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at Forbidden Door in June. Danielson is challenging Strickland for the title at All In on Sunday, August 25. If Danielson doesn’t win, he will retire from in-ring competition.
MJF vs. Ospreay for the AEW American Championship is also set for All In.
