AEW star Kenny Omega believes that Will Ospreay fails because he is unstable and unintelligent.
At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay will finally go one-on-one in a high profile singles bout after years of the two men going back and forth in interviews and social media.
In 2022, Omega and Ospreay clashed in trios competition on the August 31 edition of AEW Dynamite when The Elite defeated The United Empire to advance to the AEW Trios Championship tournament.
Speaking to NJPW, Omega discussed the comparisons between himself and Will Ospreay. He said:
“I’m starting to hear all these stories about people that want to do what Kenny did, live the lifestyle that Kenny lived.”
“I first heard that with Mox [Jon Moxley], when AEW first started. He said ‘I want to live a month in Kenny’s shoes, I want to try the G1. I want to see how tough it is’.”
“How did that go for you, pal? He didn’t even make the top four. He certainly didn’t make the finals, and he certainly didn’t win the tournament on his first effort like I did.”
Reflecting on Ospreay’s failures at the same feats he has achieved, Omega said:
“Will of course, thinking that this was a good approach, he was thinking that maybe he could be the exception to the rule, that he could do it the way Mox could not.”
“That he could do it the way Jay (White) could not. That he could do it the way that I did. Now this year’s G1 was a miss, Okada didn’t go so well either.”
“So why is it that no-one can do what I can do? Well, there’s so many reasons, but the big one, Will, is up here (taps head). It’s what you don’t got upstairs.”
Emphasizing that the mind is Will’s greatest weakness, Kenny stated:
“I’m not going to credit it to your athletic ability, you’ve got oodles of that. Experience? Yeah, experience plays a factor, but when you have so much ability, you can push past that.”
“What you lack, Will, is your mind. You’re unstable, you’re unintelligent, and that’s why you fail.”
The Omega vs. Ospreay showdown will join the lineup for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 with Jay White vs. Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
Meanwhile in AEW, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks are currently down 3-2 to Death Triangle’s PAC, Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix in the best of seven series.
The two trios will meet in a Falls Count Anywhere Match 6 on the New Year’s Smash edition of AEW Dynamite this Wednesday.
