Will Ospreay on Him Pitching To Tony Khan To Run An AEW Show At The Colosseum In Italy

107.7 The Bone’s Baby Huey held a recent interview with Will Ospreay. One of the topics discussed included Ospreay’s thoughts about how he had pitched the idea to AEW CEO Tony Khan for AEW to hold a potential show at The Colosseum in Italy in the future.

“I feel like, honestly, wrestling for me is such a broad spectrum where I don’t label one thing as like, ‘This is wrestling.’ I think wrestling has no boundaries, no limits. Honestly, one of these days I want to see a wrestling musical. I think that would be hilarious. … For me, the best bit about AEW right now is these crazy venues that we’ve been doing. These venues have been amazing, right? I’ve heard Tony saying that he wants to go and explore different markets. I’ve heard it was Puerto Rico that he recently said, he said France. 

There are so many crazy, intricate venues that we could find ourselves in, right? In Italy, I found out that they’ve been renting out The Colosseum to do nightclub events, DJ events. I was just like, ‘Mate if we did a pro wrestling event in The Colosseum, it would be incredible.’ I don’t know. I’ve wrestled in Italy before on a small indie, and there was like 120 people, but they were wild. I don’t know what the reach is there. But if there was wrestling in The Colosseum, I’m going. 

I’d come out in a little Trojan horse, little toga on. Man, I love it. … I sent him a link just being like, ‘Look, we could rent this building out, mate.’ So maybe if enough people push him into it, it’ll probably happen.”
