During a recent interview with Q101, AEW wrestler Will Ospreay commented on the changing backstage atmosphere in AEW, noting that it now feels more like a “team atmosphere.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how Jerry Lynn helps with his matches: “I never get sick of hearing from different wrestlers, their opinions. For example, this year I’ve been working hand in hand with Jerry Lynn and he’s really been helping me dissect little pieces of my match, especially when I’m on TV shows.”
On what Lynn helps him focus on with his work: “I enjoyed [watching] the underground style and the technique and the intimacy between wrestler and audience. I always enjoyed that type of connection, so having Jerry Lynn teaching me little nuggets of information has really been helping out my connection with the audience, learning how to ride waves, and getting them up to a point where they climax. I know that’s the weirdest word to use in wrestling, but Jerry’s teaching me the fine art of making them climax at the right point.”
On the current backstage environment in AEW: “I feel definitely more, like a team atmosphere backstage. I think everybody is pulling in the right direction, and there’s no, like, ill agenda.”
