On a recent edition of his “Tuesday with The Taskmaster” podcast, former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan offered his perspective on Will Ospreay’s performances.
Sullivan praised Ospreay for his brilliant run this year and expressed his anticipation for the British star’s upcoming run with AEW. He said,
“I’m a big fan of Ospreay’s work. How can you not be? He threw a punch against [Chris] Jericho at All In … and you’ve gotta give Jericho the credit for [selling] the punch. But the punch he threw looked like it took his head off. I mean, it looked like Jericho’s head was going to roll down the aisle. Ospreay’s work is so tight that it’s very hard to see through it, and when he threw that punch, I was like, ‘Whoa. Maybe he should give some of the guys … and I’m not knocking a lot of them … the AEW’s younger guys … maybe he should give a seminar on how to throw a punch.’ You don’t really need to take their heads off; you’ve just gotta make it look like it laid in.”
During a post-match promo on Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland reminisced about his journey in AEW.
According to Strickland, his standout performances against Hangman Page and Jay Lethal have positioned him as a favorite to win the AEW Continental Classic. Swerve said,
“You hear that. That’s the echo chamber. It’s getting louder every time I step out in that ring, when I first started hearing it, it was just a little whisper. It was small and it was the night I came out following the weekend of All Out to face Hangman Page, I showed everybody who I really was. I let out a scream throughout the wrestling community. Fast forward. WrestleDream. I get the biggest win in my career in AEW over a former AEW World Champion. Hangman Page. Someone who has so many five star matches. He’s starting to lose count. Follow that up we’ll go back to Full Gear, November 18th. I choke him out. He doesn’t get up for ten seconds. I went up against the former AEW World Heavyweight Champion and Swerve hung the Hangman. It’s getting louder now tonight. Night one. I’m the first match in the Continental Classic. Go figure Hangman doesn’t show up, but I’m here at work. I’m here because I wanted more than Hangman, which proved my point all along. Jay Lethal is just one of the best competitors in the world and I took him down. Night one following the Texas Death Match, one of the most dangerous matches ever witnessed in AEW history. Now it’s as loud as ever. You need ear muffs to drown out the sound of the people understanding and finally seeing Swerve Strickland, The Mogul. Now they want to see Swerve Strickland, the champion. Whose house? Swerve’s House.”
