An AEW star is the latest to heap praise on Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay’s latest match.
At AEW Dynasty, Ospreay defeated Danielson in a match that many have praised highly for both competitors’ work in the first time ever encounter. With many believing that the match has already set the bar high for the rest of the year, Jeff Jarrett is hoping that the rematch is not too far down the road.
Discussing the work of both Danielson and Ospreay on his My World podcast, Jarrett explained why Danielson has always been able to set himself apart from the rest of the field but Ospreay is on a whole other level:
“Speaking of video games, that’s where I think Bryan has always set himself apart because as time evolves, basketball evolves, we talked about Caitlin Clark a few weeks ago. Why do I think she’s a draw? I think she’s the first female basketball player that you can really draw an analogy, man, this girl is like a video game player. She crosses halfcourt and can launch it from anywhere. We saw that with Steph Curry.
We see quarterbacks, we see point guards, we see Aaron Judge, Ohtani, different athletes, just as the generations, they’re bigger, faster, stronger, but they’re just amazing. We can easily draw the analogy of the video game. I think Daniel Bryan has had the ability, and yes, he can do all kinds of moves, but to me, his timing and storytelling sets him apart.
Well, then along comes Will Ospreay. I’m not saying he’s just come along because he’s been grinding and doing what he needs to do, and his Japan career speaks for itself, and now he’s stepped into the AEW world. I don’t think athletic-wise, he has a peer. He can do things that other guys can’t. I also think he does the subtleties and the nuances. So look, the match has already taken place, but I’m still hyped about AEW, the brand. We presented a professional wrestling match that is, you can’t see it anywhere else. It was one for the ages. As a promoter, it’s this simple, I can’t wait to see the rematch.”
