Will Ospreay Explains How His Five-Star Match Ratings Have Impacted His Career

Top AEW star “The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed a number of topics, including how his 48 five-star matches from Dave Meltzer have impacted his career despite people saying it doesn’t pay the bills.

Ospreay said, “That was the topic a little while ago where they’re going ‘five star matches don’t pay bills.’ But I have paid for my dad’s house, I’ve paid for my mum’s kitchen, so…”

On how his five-star matches helped him when entering free agency:

“Honestly it was more like, if people are looking at it and going ‘this is sick,’ they admired the work ethic and the imagination, and the details that I was putting into the match that made it whatever Dave thinks it was. But like of course everyone’s right, like it doesn’t pay bills, but like for me at that time when I was approaching free agency, it was like ‘well who isn’t going to want the guy that is putting f***ing banger, after banger, after banger, after banger, after banger?’”
