I’m not very well versed in the international wrestling scene. On the home front, I rarely watch whole episodes of Raw or SE, and my AEW fandom has mostly lapsed. None of that is anything to do with quality. Wrestling just isn’t where my head's at, right now. But I have noticed all the talk about Will Ospreay. It seems he’s someone that has a pretty good claim on being the best in-ring performer in the world. But I’m a promo guy. And I’ve seen a couple of his, and they were pretty damn good. So what are we looking at? Because to my untrained eye, I’m seeing a perennial main eventer.

Extremely high if he can keep himself out of trouble.

His ceiling is incredibly high, especially considering he is only 30 years old and already this good. Barring horrible injury, we’re looking at a potential all-time great wrestler.

The easiest comp imo is AJ Styles, but British and with even more charisma. Makes me really surprised that Triple H apparently didn't have much interest in signing him for WWE.
A world championship in his future feels inevitable. Could easily be a top name of his generation.

I think if he can avoid issues outside the ring and injuries he'll be the face of the company. He's the best in ring worker in the world, arguably the best ever when you look at the sheer consistency and regularity with which he delivers some of the best matches you've ever seen, is already mega over in AEW and is a more than solid promo these days, with some being legitimately excellent like the one with Jericho before All In and his one at Big Business, has a fantastic entrance and looks like a star when he comes out plus his whole 'Bruv' thing seems to have really caught on in the States already and AEW's biggest event takes place in his home country so there's scope for amazing moments there. It's all there for him.

He could be AEW's next ace, if not more.
But only if the maturity he gained recently continues and he stays healthy.

Potential face of the company going forward. He can talk, obviously work, doesn’t have “former WWE guy” stigma so could be a “think AEW, think Will Osprey” guy. New to a lot of eyes and could bring a lot of interest from people who’ve heard the name but never seen him. Young but not too young..pretty much perfect.

I've been surprised by how good he is as a promo. I think he could be their top face.

He can be the face of any company if pushed right.

Somewhere between the stratosphere and the Moon. Ospreay can and should be the face of the company.

Multiple time world champion if he stays healthy and keeps out of any bullshit.

I am not even that big into the guy, but I have to admit, he has become much better than he once was, and if he doesn't become world champion, it will have to be because of next-level numbskull behavior.

I don't know exact details, but there are stories of him and his girlfriend at the time Bea Priestley (now Blair Davenport) being bullies and getting a wrestler blacklisted.

He was extremely toxic when he was with Bea Priestley, he has a tendency to run with very shitty friends, but he has simmered down considerably the last few years when it comes to his attitude, to his benefit He gained the moniker "Billy No Brains" in that era for a reason

Who said "You're the dumbest person I know, and I know Ospreay" on Twitter that time? Was it Dave Finlay?

He's not the absolute dirt worst, but he's been friends with people who are, taking their sides over their victims' sides. Not at "F*** Off Forever" level, but at "Don't ever f*** up again, you're getting the chance of a lifetime" level.
