5 Best High Flyers In Wrestling Today
1. Will Ospreay
Did you really expect someone else?
The Aerial Assassin’s made a strong case for that sought-after Best In The World title this year. Rocking the house with all manner of opponents all over the globe, Ospreay is one of New Japan’s hottest commodities. His selling and psychology have come along leaps and bounds since the days of critics claiming he had neither. Now the total package,Ospreay can fly, strike and grapple with the best of them.
This year has seen major progress in Ospreay’s career, competing in the normally heavyweight exclusive G1 Climax whilst holding the Junior Heavyweight Title. Though mathematically eliminated, he has consistently stolen the show and proven he can hang with the big guns. Enough so that winning such a trophy next year seems all too plausible.
His wars with Marty Scurll, Ricochet, Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi and Shingo Takagi are must see for fans of the explosive, high flying style. A modern day pioneer, Ospreay might want to slow it down a little for the sake of his health but either way, he will go down as one of the most outstanding wrestlers of his generation.
