5 talents better off outside WWE

Jeremy Piven Hosts WWE's 'Monday Night Raw' At Mohegan Sun Arena
The big stage isn't the best for everybody

#4 Will Ospreay

One of the best, if not the best high flying wrestlers today.

The winner of the Best of the Super Juniors 2016 tournament, and one of the best in the world today; the term best wrestler is subjective but there's no doubt that Ospreay is up there. At the young age of only 24, his list of accomplishments are immense as it is.

Ospreay's high flying and fast paced style is reminiscent to that of Neville's independent work before WWE. Citing AJ Styles as one of his idols, Ospreay has the talent to become just as good as the two stars listed above, if no, possibly even better. At such a young age, Ospreay has many years left in his career.

While he is one of my personal favourites, I feel that his style would not work well in a WWE ring. Not that it isn't realistic, but his arsenal would be so heavily restricted. Moves such as his 630 senton and OsCutter may not fly in the WWE. Just take a look at what happened to Neville's moveset compared to his indy work.

For now, his work over in Japan, Australia, and the UK continues to amaze wrestling fans. It's always a treat to see him and Ricochet try to outdo one another. Maybe at a later age Ospreay would be a better fit for the WWE as I cannot see them properly using his talent when his athleticism is at where it is now.
