AEW star Will Ospreay spoke with The Takedown on SI about various topics, including how his parents have always supported his wrestling career, even though they initially wanted him to pursue a different profession.

Ospreay said, “A lot of people do forget, like, this has been something that’s been in my life since I was 14 years old. That was the first time I ever had a wrestling ring in my garden, thanks to my mum and my dad uh who supported me throughout all this crazy journey, of them just wanting me to be an electrician, or wanting me to just be a window fitter. And me just being, like, no I kind of want to do this wrestling thing. They have been so supportive. So to have it all culminate in one of the most iconic stadiums that the UK has to offer — THE most iconic stadium that the UK has to offer — is truly out of this world.”
