Wrestling Veteran Coaching AEW’s Will Ospreay

AEW

Will Ospreay has opened up about the relationship he has in AEW under the learning tree of a legendary ECW star.

With a career spanning fourteen years and the globe, Ospreay’s credentials saw him sign with AEW in November 2023.

In AEW, Ospreay has revealed that he has learned plenty about the business from Jerry Lynn.

Speaking on the Q101 podcast, Ospreay shared his thoughts on learning from others in wrestling, saying:

“I never get sick of hearing from different wrestlers, their opinions.”

He would then go on to reveal that recently he’s been working closely with the former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, stating:

“For example, this year I’ve been working hand in hand with Jerry Lynn and he’s really been helping me dissect little pieces of my match, especially when I’m on TV shows.

“I enjoyed (watching) the underground style and the technique and the intimacy between wrestler and audience. I always enjoyed that type of connection, so having Jerry Lynn teaching me little nuggets of information has really been helping out my connection with the audience.

“Learning how to ride waves, and getting them up to a point where they climax. I know that’s the weirdest word to use in wrestling, but Jerry’s teaching me the fine art of making them climax at the right point.”

Lynn has been working as an AEW producer and coach since 2019.

Ospreay will face Hangman Page in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament finals at Double or Nothing, with the winner going on to challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In.

A two-time AEW International Champion, Ospreay has also named potential opponents for the 2025 Forbidden Door crossover event with NJPW.
