AEW International Champion Will Ospreay has addressed claims that he doesn’t sell in his matches.
With Ospreay bringing his fast-paced sequences to AEW, a wider US audience has now formed opinions on the British star’s in-ring style.
Speaking on the Masked Man Show, Ospreay explained his mentality behind selling.
Discussing claims that he doesn’t sell, Ospreay said:
“I just feel there are different aspects in what people say with selling. If you understand and look at the backstory that I go through, who were the guys that I was training alongside? (Kazuchika) Okada, (Tomohiro) Ishii.
“You don’t think at any point in those training sessions and Japanese camps where you’d land on your f**king head and they’d be like, ‘Get up and just swing.’ If you don’t have that small burst of energy before you’re about to do something, they’re going to get the upper hand and win.
“I say to all those people who say ‘you don’t know how to sell,’ you don’t know the backstory. You don’t know how I f**king got here. You’ve never been in a situation where you’ve been in a moment where if you don’t put your f**king foot on the gas pedal, you die.
“To those people, I get where they’re coming from, I understand, but if you pause your opinion for a second and take a wide look at the arena, they’re standing up. You can’t tell Picasso how to paint.”
Ospreay will defend his International Championship against Ricochet and Konosuke Takeshita at WrestleDream.
