10 Things We Learned From Will Ospreay & Bea Priestley On Talk Is Jericho
3. Vader Admitted To Ospreay He'd Never Watched The Ricochet Match
Vader vs. Will Ospreay isn't exactly a match made in heaven. A true clash of styles, any bout pitting this powerhouse monster against such a nimble high-flyer was always going to be a mess. Rev Pro didn't care, because they could see money in promoting a match based around the Twitter feud between both men.
Ospreay was stunned when Vader revealed that he didn't have a problem with a match he'd crucified on social media. In the legend's mind, he was only working his way into a spot against one of wrestling's hottest topics. That was fine with Will, at least until he learned that Vader had never seen the full match with Ricochet and had based his opinion on a three-second GIF.
The match went down in August 2016, and it turned into a disaster for Will. When Vader stiffed him several times with punches, an infuriated Paul Robinson (Ospreay's pal, who was watching from ringside) offered to jump the barrier and fight Vader off if he continued being too physical.
How on earth did any of this actually happen?
