Over the last few years, Will Ospreay has become one of the biggest stars in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Now, he has revealed who he likens himself to in wrestling.
Speaking with njpw1972.com ahead of Wrestle Kingdom 15, Ospreay likened himself to AEW star Chris Jericho. He says the similarities between them are not waiting and doing things their own way. Here is the quote:
“I liken myself to Chris Jericho. When Chris Jericho came into NJPW, he went straight for the biggest names at that time- Omega, Naito, Okada, Tanahashi. He targeted those names and got rewarded for it with those big matches. He didn’t wait in line, he did things his own way, and now I’m going to do things my own way. A lot of people see things that way too. You’ve seen a few already, but there’s more. Trust me.”
Ospreay is currently set to face former Chaos partner Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 15. The two will battle on the first night of the event on January 4, 2021.
Chris Jericho hasn’t competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling since Wrestle Kingdom 14. The pandemic has made it impossible for him to return to Japan since.
