Will Ospreay to make GCW debut at June’s I Never Liked You
Will Ospreay, former IWGP World Champion and one of the world’s top wrestlers, will finally make his GCW debut next month.
GCW announced that Ospreay will compete at their I Never Liked You pay-per-view on Sunday, June 19th when the company makes their debut in Providence, Rhode Island.
While the 28-year-old works mainly for NJPW, he also wrestles for Chicago-based Warrior Wrestling in addition to overseas promotions ITT and RevPro.
Ospreay defended the Warrior title against Blake Christian in late-April which was preceded by a loss to Jon Moxley at April’s NJPW Windy City Riot.
The 4 PM Eastern PPV will be held at the Fete Music Hall which has been a regular home for popular New England indie Beyond Wrestling.
Ospreay’s calendar is beginning to fill up as he was announced for NJPW’s Capital Collision in a four-way with Jon Moxley, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Juice Robinson next Saturday; NJPW’s Strong taping next Sunday against Homicide; West Coast Pro Wrestling’s May 13th event against Titus Alexander; and House of Glory’s May 27th event against Low Ki.
