On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash shared his opinion on AEW wrestler Will Ospreay.
According to Nash, Ospreay has the potential to win the AEW World Championship at AEW All In 2024, which is scheduled to be held at Wembley Stadium later this year.
However, Nash has also suggested that Ospreay could benefit from improving his overall physique.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Ospreay potentially winning the world title at Wembley Stadium: “See, Ospreay’s their star. If Wembley’s the show in September, you got to crown Ospreay there and that should be your number one goal, is to make him the face of your company because he’s ‘the guy.’”
On Ospreay needing to improve his physique: “Though at the same time, I watched a little bit of Smackdown and I watched AJ and it’s like Ospreay needs to get in better shape … everybody looks like indie guys because no one looks like they take care of themselves. He just turned 30, yeah, c’mon, man.”
Nash on Ospreay being fun to watch: “He’s fun to watch, he would be so great to watch against somebody like a Lesnar because he needs kind of a Goliath to pound the s*** out of him … you can’t sell an uppercut and take a flat back and then take another uppercut and kick up into a move, everything’s got to be sold the same.”
Ospreay will challenge Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship next month at AEW Double or Nothing 2024.
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash Shares Opinion on AEW Wrestler Will Ospreay
In a recent episode of his podcast “Kliq This,” WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash expressed his thoughts on AEW wrestler Will Ospreay. Nash believes that Ospreay has the potential to win the AEW World Championship at AEW All In 2024, which is set to take place at Wembley Stadium later this year. However, Nash also suggested that Ospreay could benefit from improving his overall physique.
Nash emphasized that Ospreay is a star and should be crowned as the face of the company at the Wembley show in September. According to Nash, making Ospreay the number one goal would be a smart move for AEW. He stated, “He’s ‘the guy.'”
While acknowledging Ospreay’s talent, Nash also pointed out that the wrestler needs to work on his physique. Comparing Ospreay to AJ Styles, Nash commented on how Ospreay should focus on getting in better shape. He expressed concern that many wrestlers in the industry today do not appear to take care of themselves physically. Nash urged Ospreay to prioritize his physical fitness, especially since he recently turned 30.
Nash further praised Ospreay’s in-ring abilities and mentioned that he would be exciting to watch in a match against someone like Brock Lesnar. Nash believes that Ospreay would benefit from facing a larger opponent who can deliver powerful moves and force him to sell them convincingly. According to Nash, every move should be sold consistently and realistically.
In upcoming events, Ospreay will challenge Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship at AEW Double or Nothing 2024 next month. This match will provide an opportunity for Ospreay to showcase his skills and potentially capture another championship title.
