‘The American Dragon’ gives his thoughts on ‘The Aerial Assassin’
At AEW Dynasty. It’ll be Bryan Danielson going one-on-one with Will Ospreay in a match that many fans all over the globe have been anticipating for quite a long time.
Danielson was able to speak with Sports Illustrated where he brought up the different styles he has had to face from different opponents and what makes Ospreay so different.
“I’m not married to the idea that my take on professional wrestling is the best. I’m really interested in what the younger generation thinks about professional wrestling and what inspires them. Will Ospreay is the evolution of professional wrestling,” said Danielson to Sports Illustrated.
“If Will Ospreay wanted to do a Bryan Danielson match, he could. If I wanted to do what Will Ospreay does in a match, I couldn’t. I don’t think there is anybody else in the world who can. That makes me super excited for this match,” said Danielson. “There’s a great Arthur Brooks book, From Strength to Strength, and it talks about finding success. In physics, most people have their standout work before they turn 40. A lot of that is complete original thinking, and your brain changes as you get older. Yet, historians, they tend to peak in their 60s and 70s.
“So when you say that Ospreay couldn’t do a Bryan Danielson match, he can do every move I do. As I get older, what I’ve found is the story of telling a match, that’s where I’ve gotten better. That’s not something Ospreay can do now. It’s not something I could do when I was 30 years old. When I was 30 years old, I also couldn’t do that Will Ospreay can do now.”
Ospreay has been on a role since signing with All Elite Wrestling, he made his full-time debut at AEW Revolution where he defeated Konosuke Takeshita before defeating Kyle Fletcher that following week on AEW Dynamite.
