if paul heyman spoke about me like that i'd die crying right where i'm standing

[@coconyt3623]

6 years later; it's a damn good thing he didn't take up on the offer, but this is still a goosebumps moment between two of the absolute greats in this industry's history.

[@sullivangate]

In retrospect, not taking the contract ended up being the wiser choice.

[@marcroth2844]

Sad but true

[@kgplay8066]

But he took the contract and had 2 matches in Evolve

[@nichhodge8503]

I wouldn’t want to work in America either, I don’t even go back for big family events and it’s been 20yrs since I was last in America and I’d rather be here in England any day

[@EthanZ45]

Who knows?? I still don’t know who that is

[@ricardosalazar1150]

​@@EthanZ45he can outclass the entire wwe roster. The fact wwe and Heyman want him signed is very telling.

[@ronnie1653]

the way Paul sold it, was incredible. Surprised Ospreay didn't take the offer.

[@MSH786]

Ronnie He probably wants to at a certain point, but he couldn't as of yet, maybe because of prior obligations with NJPW or other promotions, but hopefully he will eventually go to EVOLVE or even ROH on a more full-time basis and then hopefully get signed by WWE to be on NXT, 205 Live (if he's within that weight class) and then the main roster. I would really like him face guy's like Finn Balor and Neville, etc. I hope that Ricochet or Prince Puma on Lucha Underground also gets his chance with bigger promotions, starting with ROH and then NXT.

[@LuckiSir]

The camera shots made it even better :D Kinda like a movie

[@donaldong3924]

Hes smart he didnt take the offer, look at Nakamura now. He's a clown role play now!! Ospreay is now a Champion in Japan.

[@ammar675]

Donald Ong ok. Since you’re ignorant, I’ll say it. Nakamura is not fluent in English. AJ styles also spent some time in japan. He made it in wwe. Osprey would also make it if he can convince Vince he’s good.

[@xxANUB1S]

@@ammar675 so your excuse for using someone poorly is because he isnt fluent in english? Well let's have a look at NXT stars and others who have been there for fucking years without a good push or showing

[@jedsithor]

I was on a camera crew filming a show he wrestled on. The crowd was only a couple of hundred people, packed into a small space so it was small but lively (it was also BYOB...so yeah, lively might be too light a word lol) but he wrestled like it was in front of 10,000 people, putting on a hell of a show and doing moves I'd never seen before. He's a great performer and also a really nice guy.

[@MarkGoldmanPlays]

Ospreay is a Paul Heyman Guy

[@MSH786]

Mark Goldman Plays No, it appeared to be the other way around...Paul Heyman is a Will Ospreay guy!

[@zachryzimmerman4800]

@@MSH786no he will be a Paul Heyman guy soon

[@StevenAH20]

What an amazing moment. Congratulations to Ospreay. Much deserved.

[@tomryan4556]

I made my second year uni film about this guy. Met his family/friends. Really nice lad. He said on camera that he wasn't sure he'd make it. Safe to say he has at this point.

[@christopherstark7204]

You talking about ospreay?

[@Between2Riverz]

any link to the doc?

[@fite-4-ever876]

he deserves that and a whole lot more

[@burnthetrolls5971]

Smartest decision of Mr. Ospreay's career

[@deathstar34re]

If what Heyman is saying is true then it's a no-lose situation. - Still gets to wrestle in New Japan - Still gets to work for PWG - Gets to work with Evolve - Opens doors for NXT/WWE He'd have to be insane not to take it.

[@BrotherNero777]

exactly he has to, this is too good

[@7771Java]

the only loser is RoH

[@remerdy1]

Well since he's with ROH & NJPW now I doubt he'll go to EVOLVE. But who knows he could make a 1 time appearance or something

[@AlbirexNiigataSupport]

It's possible the contract is an Exclusive P.P.A or Touring contract.

[@durpvader6811]

Purple_Orchid he says he doesn’t want to work for wwe

[@hothotheat3000]

Even though he didn’t sign it, that is a helluva endorsement from Paul.

[@MrShowbiz48]

My estimation of Paul Heyman, just went up tenfold. Say what you will about the guy but yes I'm A Paul Heyman guy. Congrats Will, the decision I yours and what an awesome moment.

[@anasshahid224]

Love paul Haymans respect for will osperay one of the most talented indie wrestlers 👌👏👏👏

[@KCHunter]

Someone remind Seth Rollins about this ... two full years before WWE went to get Ricochet in NXT.

[@screamrad218]

K.C. Hunter I remember Seth was starting his little rants on Twitter then he went after Will. Then later Seth apologized to Will. It was said that Heyman told him to apologize. You can tell Heyman respects Will. I love Paul’s admiration for Marty and Will.

[@marcrennie2751]

Goosebumps! Osprey has some massive desicions to make now!

[@FreeRoyalPowerHour]

Heyman knew then what most have come to accept now: Ospreay is a top tier talent in this business.

[@kokotheclown2588]

Looking back now will did the right choice of not signing not only he did great on NJPW but he’s making waves on AEW sometimes waiting and patience’s pays off Btw look at what happened to evolve and NXT

[@drpdachlpa]

Imagine you're sitting in the audience, watching Paul Heyman give high praise to Will Ospreay, when he suddenly pauses, points at you, and acknowledges you too. That had to be a really cool moment for Marty Scrull.

[@andregabriel3735]

She wrestle 1 time in evolve last year and won. One of the best in these days

[@UKpowerunleashed]

Wow! Simply wow! This wasn't scripted, was it? It was a legit moment

[@stevencox3930]

I'm pretty sure Ospreay had no idea this would happen.

[@auntiegranty]

Think about this all those years ago to what he did on Sunday just gone. Incredible

[@chrisreager2614]

Loved that.

[@jackieparmz]

Ospreay is better off in Japan, and I’d bet Heyman knows that too.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

Such a cool moment.

[@alvaromedrano8236]

This is wholesome af

[@GWSharpy]

Paul Heyman is awesome!

Wtf? Is that Kenny from WhatCulture? 3:21

[@zachryzimmerman4800]

He will be in the WWE when AEW is bought by TKO Group

[@liamwilliams1990]

Is there anyway I can watch this event in full?

[@christopherstark7204]

Love you Ospreay

[@user-be9fn8ch1o]

Paul Heyman will go down as one of the top 3 on the mic

[@Savethebees9]

did he say mr scrulls?

[@Ogbris3]

what does this say about seth rollins

[@1KQ_]

Man, imagine if this were to happen in the wwe.

[@alexbondarev22]

wheres the full videos of this???

[@firmanchristiansianturi4794]

After what I saw on Jan 4th, I sure am glad William did not accept that contract.

[@RealTakerslady]

Ospreay is dope

[@peterjohn2473]

Evolve contact? $200 a month and a hot dog

[@ChroniclesOfCallum]

I doubt Ospreay will take the Evolve offer any time soon as it would be a step down for him at this point, and now more than ever it's seen as a feeder system for WWE, which I don't think he has any interest in.

[@xCHIP]

This was from 2016

[@ChroniclesOfCallum]

@@xCHIP I know, but it was an 'open offer' fo him whenever he's done with NJPW. Which I'm not sure if he ever will be. He's just moved there.

[@jax007]

he did

[@eamonmohan7152]

Paul heyman....being nice.....SHOCKING😱😱😱😱

[@lolibudang5085]

Paul Heyman is always nice dummy

[@hothotheat3000]

Dude knows talent when he sees it. Even as a heel, he will compliment a face if he can see that they’ve GOT IT.

[@RichMalicious_86]

Chills

[@WinWall3227]

and then he go to evolve and also had a match ricochet

[@goncalocosta6844]

"Keep doing your thing in New Japan". Did that work out for Billy?

[@PariahRonin]

Given what’s just happened in AEW - I wonder if he called Heyman for help with immigration.

[@Therealtjriddell_PMP]

Osprey did the right thing!

[@thomasmoore8096]

Dude Heyman giving him a business card in front of god and everyone just opened soooo many doors

[@demonheart002]

Time for Ospreay to go change his pants.

[@EternalNightmare7414]

As much as it was great to see Paul Heyman recognize Wills talents, I feel like this was a slap in his face at the same time. Fuck giving him a "Evolve contract". Will should have been handed a multi million dollar WWE contract if they wanted to work with him so badly and he would have deserved it! But considering he just had a great match against Chris Jericho today in front of 81K people, safe to say he doesn't need WWE and probably never will.

[@kishanprakash007]

AEW is where the best (and breasts) wrestle.. So Will being there makes perfect sense, seeing as he is the very best in the world right now.

[@vikkorheel9966]

Now look

[@channelmchp]

Look Ospreay now...

Good guy Paul trying to help Ospreay not be poor

[@dhanush711]

Seth Rollins should see this

[@vipset87]

all the wwe fanboys specifically the seth rollins fanboys talking shit about ospreay *need* to see this

[@mikeplattscalfs9168]

Is that the WCPW set?😂😂😂

[@MoonlightStrider]

It's actually a common set used in many big UK Wrestling promotions, I remember seeing it in the likes of FWA and RQW.

[@christophercolumbus6474]

Thank god Will didn’t take it! He would’ve been under WWE’s thumb and end up like Ricochet 😂

[@TheJames-Edward]

I don't think he ended up signing the contract from what I have read.

[@vipset87]

no! you dont say

[@zachary1599]

No shit doofus

[@bellzo5]

Just a thought in people's mind how you don't know that he whispered in that guy's ear and says this is not a real contract I'm just doing this to bring heat and attention upon you now we're going to make this look real in front of these people but when you finish doing what you doing you call my office and we can talk business but I'm going to let my hand go I'm going to keep the shoot going and you keep doing what you doing to make this look believable okay

[@ryandimaria9338]

The new biggest what if will osprey signs with evoke then comes work for wwe after they bought evole

[@kelton8852]

Oh shit. This happened?

It's better choice not to accept the offer.

[@andrewisjesus]

Evolve is trash. He is tearing it up in Japan, well deserved.

[@shellbacksclub]

How awkward.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

Everyone here is saying what a great decision he made in not signing it. Dumbest claim ever. He was a fool not to take it. Yes, yes, WWE bought out Evolve but that doesn't mean Osprey would've been required to join WWE. The contract even stated he didn't have to stop wrestling for other promotions. He should've taken the contract, taken the money, and then when WWE bought out Evolve, invoked his right to continue wrestling for other promotions and then when the contract ran out, go off and do whatever he wanted. Just a bunch of WWE hate blinding people.

[@kishanprakash007]

Or is it you gargling WWE's balls?

[@serbonkers4130]

All good. WWE did get a better version of him.
