Will be interesting to see how he adapts to the WWE style. No doubt he is insanely talents. Would be cool to see Ospreay brought in and have them show off on a big stage. Ugh please no. That match makes me so mad. It's like the only time I agree with Cornette on modern wrestling. f*** Ospreay and his flippy mcdippy bullshit. Ricochet....eh. I'm more okay with him. I'd like to see him and either Cesaro or, if he came back, Neville, tear it up again for old times' sake. |

I hope he makes a ton of money in spite of the company inevitably not knowing what to do with him and f***ing him up completely That's my thing about it. I got no faith that they'll do anything creatively with him that's worth a f***. I'm just glad he's able to get his bands up. |

I got no faith that they'll do anything creatively with him that's worth a f***. I'm just glad he's able to get his bands up. Worst case scenario, he leaves after a couple of years, gets into the indies to make more money and is able to retire soundly. I think it’s kind of the surreal thing about all this, in a weird way the environment is almost Hogan era WWF with everyone coming in making their names elsewhere and going to WWE to tick a box and make some money. Not that people going don’t have a lot of ability but still. |

How long till Tessa signs? Cause you know she's going to be signed. No time soon, apparently. The last Observer mentioned she’s still taking bookings well into the spring, so it appears that nothing is on the horizon with her. |

Too bad for me - loved the guy in both NJPW and Lucha Underground, going to miss him badly in both, and miss watching his work in general. Hope he makes tons of money, though, the guy is probably the best high flyer going and could definitely transcend 205 Live if given the chance. This is clearly something he's wanted to do for years, and now he gets his chance, just sucks I won't be watching it. I wouldn't bank on Ospreay making the jump any time soon; beyond his NJPW contract (something Ricochet never signed), the guy relocated to Australia, both to be in the same hemisphere as NJPW and to work to grow the indie scene there. Not to say he would never go to WWE, but he seems pretty committed to his current track. "Prior to the Best of the Super Junior tournament, there was concern over Will Ospreay having nagging injury issues at the age of 23. According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, here is a breakdown of what Ospreay has been dealing with after four years in the wrestling business… Two slipped discs in his back Seven concussions A shoulder that is prone to separation Two fractured heels Sciatica that is causing numbness in his foot" And the guy is still super young. Probably couldn't cope with WWE schedule 😮😮😮😮😮😮..... so, assuming every high flyer isn’t that banged up, did he just not get trained before he decided to go jumping through the air to take falls on planks or what? |

Is Ospreay that disliked around here? His matches with Marty Scurll and Kushida in New Japan have made me a huge fan of his. Plus I saw him get a great match out of Matt Taven live and that's not easy.

Plus I saw him get a great match out of Matt Taven live and that's not easy. Yeah I don't get it either. Plus people taking shots at the way Ospreay looks? Dude is fine looking. I wouldn't kick him out of bed. (Mainly b/c I'd be afraid he'd break something) But I think Ospreay is an awesome talent, with a good look, and easy on the eyes. Ricochet though, is on his own level. Dude should be pushed to the moon. I'm sad we no longer get backstage videos of Konnan with Prince Puma as Puma is all sweaty and lifting weights while Konnan talks. Highlights of LU for sure. |

I personally prefer Osprey to Ricochet. Osprey has a fire to him that I find lacking in Ricochet. They both do otherworldly stuff as far as high flying goes but with Ricochet I don't find much depth to him outside of doing cool moves.

Nothing matters, nothing connects, nothing feels part of the gimmick, nothing has personality. |

Great performer, hope he does well in WWE and at least makes a nice chunk of money. One of the most talented guys in the business, but I have very little hope in WWE's booking.

At least Ricochet was brought back from the dead by a Bald Canadian Vampire. Ospreay is just a dork who thinks purple hair is cool (it's not). |

If someone wants to say that was mostly KUSHIDA's doing, fine, but Will more than played his part. |
