Niko Melendez, a disabled pro wrestling fan, took to his Twitter account over the weekend and commented on meeting IWGP US Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay at a meet and greet for Warrior Wrestling on Saturday in Chicago, Illinois.
Melendez noted that Will Ospreay and the Warrior Wrestling staff met him outside the venue since the device he was riding in was unable to make it up the handicap ramp. He wrote,
“After driving nearly an hour and a 1/2 to the North side of Chicago on a Friday, dealing with brutal Chicago weekend traffic in the heat with no place to park or move because every sidewalk and street is just packed with people… Will is probably one of the best pro wrestlers if not human beings I’ve ever had an interaction with because I couldn’t physically deploy my ramp to get out of my van, him and the amazing Warrior Wrestling staff were kind enough to just meet me outside in the parking lot and talk for like 30 minutes and just shoot the sh*t about life and wrestling. He was even kind enough to get in my van so I could take a picture with him and signed a poster and my AEW Chicago hat. Plus we talked about the FORBIDDEN DOOR and how he is personally going to kick the s*** out of Orange Cassidy for me. Will & the entire Warrior Wrestling staff made everything about this day and experience worth it for both Ezra and I. Thank you guys so much. Forever grateful and God bless.”
Will Ospreay will be teaming with Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis to face off against Orange Cassidy and Roppongi Vice on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
