– During a recent appearance on AEW Unrestricted, AEW star Will Ospreay recalled a painful spot being dropped backfirst into the turnbuckle corner at AEW Revolution in his match with Konosuke Takeshita. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Ospreay on the turnbuckle spot at AEW Revolution: “F*** me, my ass after that match mate. I will say it until the cows come home. That was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me in a match ever. Not enough to stop the match, but my ass was hurting so much, it was flipping blue afterwards. For me, having all that reaction and having all that expectation — even in the pain that I was in going backstage and this giant ice pack and this weird drink that looked like piss.”
On what was lovely about it: “But it’s so lovely again. Then, laying on the flipping table crying like, ah, my ass hurts so much. I felt somebody grab my hand and go, ‘Mr. Ospreay?’ I looked up and it was Ric Flair and I was like, ah! Let me stand back up again like, ‘Yes sir?’ He was just like, ‘You’re everything they’ve said and more.’”
Will Ospreay won the match against Konosuke Takeshita at Revolution. He will challenge Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship later this month at Double or Nothing 2024. The event will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
