Booker T Discusses The Excellent Track Record Of Will Osprey So Far
During the 90s, when the Monday Night Wars was the hottest thing in the world of professional wrestling, WCW mostly trusted on readymade stars. Only a few names that were actually created by WCW in that time, such as Goldberg and Booker T.
Booker remained with WCW till the very last date of the promotion and he became one of the biggest stars of it. After the death of WCW, he joined WWE and went on to become one of the biggest legends for the promotion. In 2001 he came to WWE and he won his fifth WCW World Heavyweight Championship reign during his first year in WWE.
At first he was treated as a main event star, then in 2002 he was turned to an upper mid card. He challenged Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XIX but he failed to win it and he remained a mid card star.
In 2004, he joined Smackdown and turned heel and that was the beginning of his main event push. It all started with his King of the Ring win in 2006 and on the same here he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
That was his only reign as a World Champion in WWE. In 2007 he joined TNA Wrestling. He was treated as a main event start in TNA but he could never win the World Championship in TNA. After leaving the promotion in 2010, he never wrestled regularly for any promotion.
Of course he made some sporadic appearances every now and then but he was out from regular professional wrestling action. In 2013 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and in 2019 he got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame once again as a member of the Harlem Heat.
Booker T who is a former five times WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke on his Hall of Fame podcast where he talked about AEW star Will Osprey and shared massive for his recent track record and the matches he had. He said;
“I could see that. I could see that from the person that’s rating it. That’s no knock to Will Ospreay. Lot of times, people rate something higher because they like that…. I watch boxing all the time, and so many times, I’ve seen the winner lose so many times. So I’m like, it’s not that the the guy that won was better.
“It’s because the guy they wanted to win, they liked him more. That’s all it is. So I get that when I see Will Ospreay and someone who’s rating the matches likes that kind of stuff. A lot of flips, a lot of back and forth, a lot of ‘This is awesome’ chants. I get that, 100%. But for me, the worker, I know what it takes to go out there and get over and make some big money.” said Booker T.
“I’ll tell you right now, if Will Ospreay came to the United States, I’d love to work with that kid because, I think he could, I don’t know, he’s probably making big money right now, but I just think, over here in the states, I think he could really be a big star.
“I would love to work with that kid and really show him the detail [and] the art of Shakespeare. What’s crazy is, I’ve had this conversation with Will Ospreay, and I’m not saying anything that this kid, perhaps his mind would not be open to wanting to try.”
