Will Ospreay is talking about the fansbut depending on which day you catch him, the message is a little different. In one interview, the AEW star urges wrestlers to embrace criticism and evolve. In another, he makes it clear hes stopped caring what faceless Twitter users have to say. Lets break it down.
In his recent appearance on the Pomo and Kitsch YouTube show, Ospreay delivered a passionate take on why wrestlers need to check their egos and truly listen to fan feedback. When asked about the nonstop internet commentary, he leaned into the idea that criticismeven when it seems shallowcan still help a performer grow.
He brought up a recent promo segment with Hangman Page on Dynamite, saying it was his best mic work to date. But instead of the content, fans online had one thing to sayhis hair.
Ospreay doubled down on the idea that every voice matterseven if it stings.
But thenjust days earlierOspreay took a totally different tone in a Busted Open Radio interview when asked about how he deals with online hate and trolls.
He made it clear hes not giving energy to those who havent been in the trenches.
Instead of obsessing over social media, Ospreay said he finds real validation from the fans in the arena.
So, which is it? Should wrestlers tune in to fan feedbackor tune it out? Maybe the real answer lies somewhere in the middle. Ospreay is learning in real-time what most top-tier talent eventually face: you cant please everyone, but you still have to listento someone.
