10 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2016
3. Vader Vs Will Ospreay
After Will Ospreay took the wrestling world by storm and set the Internet abuzz with his insane match against Ricochet at NJPW Best of the Super Juniors in May, some old timers made it known that they were not overly keen on the bout.
The main person who was unimpressed by the athletic, high flying action was WWE, WCW and NJPW legend Vader who criticised the match for being simply 'athletics' with 'no story'. Naturally, after Ospreay responded to the criticism, and this being wrestling, a match between Vader and Ospreay was booked by Revolution Pro in August.
It was something we never would have expected to see at the start of 2016 but it ended up being a great piece of business for all involved. Shockingly, Vader even pulled out the win over the young lion. Wrestling; you've gotta love it.
