Paul Wight on His Praise of Will Ospreay’s Work Ethic & His Dream AEW Opponents for In-Ring Return

A recent episode of the Under The Mat With Simon Miller podcast featured Paul Wight as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Wight’s thoughts about his praise of Will Ospreay’s work ethic and understanding of the wrestling industry.

“Super positive. Super hard work ethic. Gets the business, the industry, incredible love for wrestling and for going out there and giving everything for the fans.”

Wight also gave his praise of the diversity of talents in today’s era of wrestling.

“I’ve worked with some of the greatest talents that have ever set foot in this business or been around them from legends from the 70s and 80s like Flair and Hogan and Savage and Arn Anderson, Terry Taylor. I got to sit, talk with Harley Race. I mean, there were so many amazing talents. Brett Hart, Kevin, Scott. You look at today’s talent that’s out there.

Overall, there’s never been, in my opinion, an influx of such incredible talent in men’s and women’s wrestling. The talent is unreal. Sure, there’s a different business. There’s different ways of psychology. There’s different match approaches, but there’s a lot of incredibly athletic talent,  diversified talents that have personalities that’s just when you think it’s all been done, there’s something new that comes along.”  

Wight also gave his thoughts about Kenny Omega and Darby Allin being dream opponents for his potential in-ring return in the future.

“So, when I look at our AEW roster, even though he’s not a younger cat, he’s still somebody that I’ve had respect for a long time – Kenny Omega. I think Kenny is one I would think ‘man, I would love to either tag with Kenny or to compete against Kenny’. I would love to have a great heel run and work Darby. I mean, that would be ridiculous. Cause I could sling Darby’s guts all over the place. Even the old school one where I slammed Rey (Mysterio) into the ring post when he was tied to the stretcher. I can only imagine the carnage I could do with Darby.”
