10 Real-Life Wrestling Heels Who Turned Babyface
4. Will Ospreay
Was a heel because...
Will Ospreay once had the worst Twitter account out, and think of the ground that covers; the "Oh, finally this happened" scoopsters, the "Are you being sarcastic, dude?" "I don't even know anymore" sh*t-posters; the performative positivity like-farmers; the job-beggars; the Dave Meltzer Derangement Syndrome trolls...
Ospreay's socials were the worst. Rushing to judgment gatekeeping; "When is it International Men's Day?"; the inability to determine whether or not 'I Can't Believe It's NOT Butter' was not, in fact, butter: Ospreay at various points had to delete his Twitter account because his temperamental, misinformed trash was pelted.
Turned babyface by...
This is when you know you're too encased in the wrestling bubble; when a recent conversation arose on the theme of punishment versus rehabilitation, my immediate internal response was "Well, Will Ospreay has matured to become a very solid chap - rehabilitation it is!"
He was incredibly generous to Seth Rollins during their Twitter spat, proclaiming him to be an all-time great before gracefully bowing out. He advocates for mental health awareness. He wrestles an arduous, best-kept-secret loop in Australia to help build the scene there, such is his devotion to his craft and his lesser-known peers.
He is the quintessential wrong'un come good.
