Woof Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Re: the talk about Will Ospreay eventually winding up in NXT, I get this vibe off of him that he could wind up being WWE's version of AJ Styles. He's incredibly smooth and exciting and seems really polished for such a young age. He has that "wow" factor that I don't quite get from Finn Balor (so far at least) in terms of moveset. It took AJ a number of years to really figure out how to best use his skills to build a match without it being nothing but crazy highspots, but once he got there he became one of the best in the world. Ospreay has that feel. If he can cut a promo as well as you guys say he did, he could be a megastar, because he has the in-ring flashiness of somebody like Neville but with a good young babyface look. He's also built in such a way that he looks like he could add weight as he gets older and feel like a main eventer (sorta like Randy Orton did when he first was brought up) without looking like a bloated cruiserweight (like Neville). I'm really interested to see where his career goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 The kid has a ton of skills. He has great babyface fire and charisma, large move set, connects with the audience, and always works hard. My knock on him is that he's got to learn to sell limb work better. That is something in time and I believe maturity can fix. I think right now he's let me get my shit in. I think the more experience you get, the more you understand psychology. Still he's had a great year and has a chance to make my top 5 babyface list at the end of the year awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woof Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, that's why he reminds me so much of Styles. AJ in the early 2000's used to cram so much stuff into his matches and his selling was always spotty. He seems to have cleaned both of those up quite a bit as he got older.
