Will Ospreay: What Tony Khan Has Done For The Industry Is Incredible, I Would’ve Never Been An American Wrestler Without Him

Will Ospreay owes a lot to Tony Khan.

During an interview with The Masked Man Show, the current AEW International Champion spoke about the kind of person Tony Khan is, noting that without Khan’s help, Will Ospreay doesn’t believe he’d be a pro wrestler in the United States.

“He’s super friendly, super nice. I talk to him all the time. He tells me what’s bad, he tells me what’s good. I do think he has a heart of gold. What he’s done for the industry is incredible. I would’ve never been an American wrestler without him. I would have stuck with Japan for the rest of my life because I would have never thought this was possible when it came to coming over to America to wrestle, you’d have to move here. As much as I do enjoy coming over and doing my visits, my home is the UK. I want to be around my family. That was never going to to happen without AEW. AEW has come along and now that I’m on weekly television, which I never thought was going to be possible. My residence is still in the United Kingdom.” Ospreay said.

Ospreay is set to defend his International Championship against Ricochet and Konosuke Takeshita at AEW WrestleDream.
