Ryan Carse, editor of The Tag Rope, interviewed Will Ospreay at WhatCulture Pro Wrestling’s recent tapings from Newcastle, England. Topics discussed include the current British scene and Paul Heyman recently presenting him with a contract offer to wrestle for EVOLVE.

Everything was going smoothly until Vader was mentioned, which resulted in Ospreay flying off the handle with an expletive-laden tirade. The 23-year-old Areal Assassin steps in the ring with Vader next Friday (8/12) for Revolution Pro Wrestling. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

His Feud With Vader

“I’ve got such a problem with the guy because he’s directed so much abuse at me, and the fact is now that he’s been called out about it, he’s saying, ‘Oh, Will Ospreay could be good, Will Ospreay could be this. And it’s like, ‘No mate, you got caught out because everyone’s battering you’” …

“Here’s what’s going to happen. I am going to f*ck Vader up big-time. It’s not even going to be a wrestling match; it’s going to be a fight. And I am going to embarrass him, I am going to outflip him, I am going to do everything that pisses him off and I’m going to show everybody why wrestling has evolved, and the evolution starts with me.”

EVOLVE’s Contract Offer


“It’s a very selfish thing I’m about to say, but I need to think about me. And not just the brand of Will Ospreay. I’ve had other offers come in and I’m just trying to swim in an ocean full of talent and trying to stay relevant and trying to keep doing what I do. It’s been an incredible journey and I want to keep it going, I want to help out, I want to do more things.”
