The United Kingdom wrestler started his career at Progress Wrestling, and from there on, he has wrestled in several promotions. He quickly rose to stardom after signing with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he is the current IWGP United States Champion and the third Grandslam Champion in the company. In early June, the Aerial Assassin made a surprise debut for AEW and is currently competing in the AEW Trios Championship Tournament alongside his United Empire faction members. A couple of days ago, Twitter user Wrestling Banana tweeted that Will Ospreay has received four 5-star match ratings from Dave Meltzer in a month, which is more than what CM Punk, John Cena, and Kurt Angle have received in their entire careers. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash responded to this by mocking Ospreay's merchandise sales. The Aerial Assassin replied to Nash by mocking his torn quadricep injury in 2002. "Did you tear your quads writing this tweet?" Will Ospreay tweeted. ᵂⁱˡˡ ᴼˢᵖʳᵉᵃʸ • ウィル・オスプレイ@WillOspreayDid you tear your quads writing this tweet ? twitter.com/realkevinnash/…Kevin Nash@RealKevinNash@WrestleBanana How's his merchandise sales?4758380@WrestleBanana How's his merchandise sales?Did you tear your quads writing this tweet ? twitter.com/realkevinnash/… Fans react to Will Ospreay s tweet Upon reading Ospreay's tweet, many of Kevin Nash's fans came to his defense.

During an interview with WRESTHINGS, Ospreay revealed that he was never interested in signing with WWE. “I have no aspirations of going to WWE, at all. It’s not because of the product or anything, I’m not a fan of it, I will happily say, but my lifestyle, I never wanted to be the big star pro wrestler. Japan allows me to do a tour and come home and live my family life," he said. [H/T Fightful.com] One question amongst the fans was why a wrestler as talented as him never signed with WWE. Fans of Kevin Nash claimed that Ospreay is not as popular as the WWE Hall of Famer. If Ospreay was part of WWE instead of NJPW, he might have captured the eye of many more fans.
