Will Ospreay On Konosuke Takeshita Match: I Can’t Do Those Type Of Matches Without A Great Partner

Will Ospreay talks his Revolution match with Konosuke Takeshita.

For many fans, the match between Will Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita from AEW Revolution is one of the best matches of 2024 so far. The match, which lasted nearly 22 minutes, is even being hailed as one of Takeshita’s best matches of his entire career.

During the post pay-per-view media scrum, Will Ospreay talked about his bout with Takeshita and noted that he can’t have a great match without having a great partner.

“I’ve got a lot to top now, haven’t I? Once again, I can’t do those type of matches without a great partner to do it with. Takeshita is every bit as good as Will Ospreay. It’s just, on that night, I was just better, pure and simple. But look at the move that I had to put him away with, the Tiger Driver. I keep saying this so much, the Tiger Driver ‘91 is the most dangerous move in wrestling. It was used back in the day, but it is one of the most dangerous moves in wrestling, and some guys are able to kind of figure out a way of getting out of it, but it’s complete pressure on your neck, man. It’s a sheer drop. I wouldn’t be surprised if in like five months’ time, people will be like, ‘Hey, you can’t do that move anymore.’ But this is what I bring to the table, man. I am one of the most dangerous professional wrestlers in the world. Look, I am a lovely man. I will walk your mum across the street any day of the week. I will happily give you a cuddle if you’re ever feeling sad, I’m always a good shoulder to cry on, and I’ll look after you to the day I die, but I am one mean motherfucker when I want to be. Like I said, the most dangerous man in wrestling right now, bruv.”

Elsewhere in the scrum, Ospreay joked that he’s in AEW to win world championships, retire Billy Gunn, and get a Nando’s sponsorship. Learn more here.
