In a recent interaction with Inside the Ropes, wrestler Will Ospreay revealed that he has always been anxious while delivering his promos due to his ADHD diagnosis. This nervousness, he admitted, has impacted his ability to maintain eye contact and articulate sentences in an orderly manner, which are crucial aspects of his job on American television.
Nonetheless, he believes that this also sets him apart from other wrestlers, giving him a distinctive charisma. His casual approach when addressing audiences, treating them as friends, is a strategy that he believes often compensates for any shortcomings. Ospreay makes no attempts at hiding his imperfections and acknowledges that he may falter while delivering his lines but is committed to improving over time.
Coming up next week are the AEW Grand Slam TV Tapings. Matches of note include a Lumberjack Strap Match and a Tornado Trios Match.
