10 Best Wrestlers Under 25 Years Old In The World Today

2. Will Ospreay

Ready to feel old? Like so many other wrestlers, British star Will Ospreay first dreamed of becoming a pro after seeing a single match. In Ospreay's case, though, it wasn't Bret Hart versus Shawn Michaels or Edge and Christian versus The Hardy Boyz versus The Dudley Boyz - it was the mile-a-minute three way TNA match between Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, and AJ Styles. Ospreay was only 12 when he first saw that bout, but the future competitor clearly learned a lot - today, at 22 years of age, Ospreay is considered one of the top high-flyers in the entire world. "The Aerial Assassin" debuted in 2012 and spent the first few years of his career working for British indies, but he was invited to participate in last years PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament. Later in the year, while working for the U.K.'s Revolution Pro Wrestling, the young star got to take on both AJ Styles and Kazuchika Okada. Ospreay's impressive body of work - including a match against Marty Scurll from last month that got rave reviews - has ensured even greater opportunities for the youngster. He is reported to be debuting for New Japan Pro Wrestling in April, and he will be competing in this year's Best of the Super Juniors tournament.
