Booker T would love to be able to work with Will Ospreay should he arrive in the US for a lengthy excursion.
Speaking on The Hall of Fame podcast with his co-host, Brad Gilmore, Booker T shared his thoughts on Ospreay having the record for the most individual five-star matches.
“I could see that. I could see that from the person that’s rating it. That’s no knock to Will Ospreay. Lot of times, people rate something higher because they like that…. I watch boxing all the time, and so many times, I’ve seen the winner lose so many times. So I’m like, it’s not that the the guy that won was better. It’s because the guy they wanted to win, they liked him more. That’s all it is. So I get that when I see Will Ospreay and someone who’s rating the matches likes that kind of stuff. A lot of flips, a lot of back and forth, a lot of ‘This is awesome’ chants. I get that, 100%. But for me, the worker, I know what it takes to go out there and get over and make some big money,”
“I’ll tell you right now, if Will Ospreay came to the United States, I’d love to work with that kid because, I think he could, I don’t know, he’s probably making big money right now, but I just think, over here in the states, I think he could really be a big star. I would love to work with that kid and really show him the detail [and] the art of Shakespeare. What’s crazy is, I’ve had this conversation with Will Ospreay, and I’m not saying anything that this kid, perhaps his mind would not be open to wanting to try,”

Ospreay is currently rehabbing a shoulder injury that he suffered last month and will be back in the ring on May 21st.
Ospreay was originally scheduled to take on Konosuke Takeshita at Ring Of Honor Supercard Of Honor prior to his injury.
