"I just don't like watching him" - Wrestling legend gives brutal opinion on AEW star Will Ospreay

Will Ospreay is one of the top wrestlers on the AEW roster. He leaves the wrestling world in utter shock with his impressive moves inside the squared circle. However, he has seemingly failed to impress wrestling legend Sabu.

The ECW veteran is known for his hardcore wrestling style inside the ring. He has wrestled in many top promotions, such as WCW, WWE, NJPW, and more. The 60-year-old hung up his wrestling boots in November 2021.

Sabu recently had an interview with Covalent TV. During the conversation, the legend said he liked The Aerial Assassin but wasn't fond of his in-ring work. He also highlighted that Ospreay's high-flying moveset seemingly made him look like a gymnast rather than a wrestler inside the ring.

"I like Will Ospreay, I just don't like watching him. He's a great worker and a good gymnast and all that stuff, but (...) his stuff is too choreographed. Backflip over the ropes all the time, that's all gymnast stuff. It's okay. But as a regular thing, no. Would I want to watch that? No, I'd want to see a wrestler [grappler]." [H/T: WrestlingInc.]
