Last week, Will Ospreay and Seth Rollins got into a little Twitter feud about who the best wrestler in the world was; While that conservation is subjective, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion believes that statement comes down to only three wrestlers, Kenny Omega, AJ Styles, and IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada:
“I don’t care about being the best in the world. I just care about doing the best of my abilities. If you ask me my genuine opinion who the best wrestler in the world is, I genuinely think it’s a toss up between Okada and AJ Styles. To be fair, you can put Kenny [Omega] in there as well because I think Kenny is just on another level. But just for me, the consistency of Okada and… there’s just different aspects of it for me and that’s the thing like you said, there’s a list of guys that you could probably call the best in the world and, there’s way too many guys."
The ”Aerial Assassin” doesn’t completely count himself out when it comes to being the best in the world; however, Ospreay makes it clear that he doesn’t care too much about the title and just wants to provide the best entertainment inside the ring:
"I’m not far from being the best in the world. I’m just doing the best of my abilities and I just want to give my best because the moment I start -- and forgive me for bringing this up, but the moment I get in my head [like] star ratings are the only thing that matters to me or anything along those lines, that’s when maybe you’ll get into my head and I’ll push my body too far. I just wanna do the best that I can physically every night. I don’t want to push myself. I just want to do the absolute best that I can do physically.”
Will Ospreay is on tour with New Japan in Australia for the company's Southern Showdown events and following those shows is the 2019 G1 Climax tournament.
