Will Ospreay responds to praise for El Grande Americano vs. OG Americano, praises match but says he’s in his own lane

Will Ospreay took to social media after a Wrestling Republic clip lauded the recent mask-vs-mask bout between El Grande Americano and OG Americano, with the post suggesting the match will be remembered more in the history books than any of Ospreay’s contests. The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion acknowledged the significance of the bout, praising the drama and legacy of mask matches while responding to the comparison.

Ospreay referenced past matches that still get brought up, writing, “Yet 10 years on people still talk about the ricochet match. I still get tagged…” He emphasized that while he respects the cultural importance of mask vs. mask encounters, he remains focused on forging his own path and legacy in professional wrestling.
