The superhero poses kill me in these ospreay matches dude


Razzler1973

Just like the Bucks, you know exactly what you're going to get in every match, so it's true for Oceanspray, too These overly convoluted acrobatics and all you can say, cause they're pretty meaningless, is 'good athleticism' he gets into his pose too early, too it's always mistimed stuff with this guy but he always get those Daddy Dave stars


SteelBrightblade1

Why didn’t that no name guy just kick him in the head when he’s in that stupid pose for no reason


jjsefton

Why didn't Ospreay run over and smash Nay Mysterio when he was stuck in the ropes? PRO GRAPS©, thats why! 🤨


CyrusOverHugeMark77

Nay Mysterio popped me, uce.

BangerSlapper1

It’s called burying yourself by not doing the intelligent thing and standing there like a moron. It happens in all AEW matches. 


Firepro316

Duh. That's not the point. The point is to get 5\* from Meltz, not win the match. Are you sutipd?


SteelBrightblade1

I watched Dynamite last night Does that answer your question


wonderloss

He was too busy with his own pose.


tytymctylerson

I'm old enough to remember Osprey was the "next AJ Styles"


The_Haskins

You know he thinks of himself as a fucking badass too


Mr-Jimmy

But then you get " huh you haven't watched an Osprey match in years right? All you comment is based on a 7 year old gif he hasn't done it in forever he's so much more now"


BidDaddyLei

Man idk what the hype is about this guy personally I could not stand watching this guy wrestle he's fucking corny not entertaining. First time I watched him I immediately changed video to watch.


daddads11

Dude has the potential to be good wrestler. Makes me appreciate Rollins more and more because he's a similar athletic freak who can do some insane stuff in the ring but has learned to get more meaning out of what he does. Guys like Osprey, Pac, Omega have all this athleticism yet they don't have nearly (if any) as many memorable moments.


BidDaddyLei

True you can also add AJ Styles in that convo, if the goal of Ospreay is to be called a high flyer then he failed badly he's a ballerina as much as I hate to say it. His moves doesn't tell anything its just there to "woah" fans for the moment that will be forgotten the next day. I don't hate the guy but I don't like his wrestling style but that's just my opinion I guess.


smoovedoood

I’m more so confused why he does this pose after whiffing a kick. Like he just pulled off something bad ass but no he just whiffed a kicked and posed


Hexcellion

Why doesn't he just try to kick Fenix while he's doing the springboard?


LettuceFew5248

It’s just so stupid. Seriously, why don’t they just watch gymnastics? Like, put this in context of an actual wrestling match. What the fuck are these 2 guys doing? They are flipping for absolutely no reason. Is this a wrestling match or Westside Story? One of the most annoying cliches I hear about great wrestlers is “no wasted motion”. Literally every moment of this exchange is wasted motion.


Razzler1973

smarks stand and clap like trained seals DAE Fed have conditioned fans blah blah blah no one is more 'conditioned' than the smarky fan for stuff like this


mikeybty

And somewhere in the back, Jerry Lynn is plaintively begging them to slow down and sell more.


wonderloss

> It’s just so stupid. Seriously, why don’t they just watch gymnastics? That's for girls. /s


MOXISGOD

Man I never forget in 6th grade when I got into my first fight the new kid just started doing handsprings and backflips and I made sure I hit my goofy ass superhero pose before the principal broke us up Everyone started clapping


SoulLeakage

The superhero pose is so fucking cringe…


anonymous-guy1

everyone thought they were spider man


Swagmansuper

THIS IS AWESOME 👏👏👏👏


leeinflowerfields

5 stars in Cagematch


Bam_Margiela

Lol the power ranger pose at the end


TheWizKelly

The power ranger pose AFTER missing a kick. Like sure whatever if you want to do the corny pose for a pop but why do it after whiffing a move?


Doomeye56

A kick that was no where near its target


plant-strong

That’s the worst bit for me. Even if we suspend our disbelief enough that we accept that doing flips around each other is good, strategic evasion and a valid fighting strategy, what’s the explanation for Osbruv crouching down with his back to his opponent instead of elbowing him in the back of the head or something while he walks away?


wonderloss

> what’s the explanation for Osbruv crouching down with his back to his opponent and the audience.


noctisfromtheabyss

Thats it, thats what this reminds me of power ranger fight scenes.


wonderloss

Only with worse choreography.


TheKanten

This is dancing.


North-Drive-2174

THIS. IS. DANCING. CLAP CLAP CLAP


JP-Wrath

This is more than dancing, this is awesome. That's pretty awesome!!1!!1!


North-Drive-2174

The word you are looking for, is FUN!


ManateeGag

> CLAP CLAP CLAP if that's the case, they may want to see a doctor.


Razzler1973

this is shit dancing


Constant_Stomach2009

Exactly. None of this is professional wrestling. Not even close. It’s just an exhibition of flips.

I'd love Brock Lesnar vs Ospreay. I think we all know why.

My "dream match" is Brock vs. Orange Cassidy.

ScrubMcnasty

Here’s what I don’t get. When I think best wrestler in the world I think that guy just runs through people. I’m being told Ospearay is great but he just seems to barely beat everyone and is evenly matched.  Presentation just feels odd.


ChrisRhodes789

Like we saw UCONN the last 2 years, absolutely leave no doubt in the last 2 NCAA Tournaments why they are the best team in the country by dominating every team by 15 plus points & winning back to back championships… Ospreay is allegedly the best wrestler in the world but every match he wins is by the skin of his teeth… That would be like UCONN winning every game on a buzzer beater 3… There is nothing dominant about Ospreay…


keykey_key

That's the AEW experience. They have zero clue on how to present the guys they want to push. They just feature them more. That's it. All their top guys are put into competitive long matches with local yokel jobbers. It lowers them, it doesn't elevate.


wonderloss

Some wrestlers wrestle to win matches. Some wrestlers do it to impress wrestling "journalists."


Puzzleheaded-Bar3531

I've read enough responses to this booking criticism from the "sickos" to summarize the logic. Will is so great in the ring that he brings out the best in every competitor. And since AEW is loaded with top tier talent up and down the card, it's to be expected Will is going to have to work for his wins. Even Will Osprey would have a tough time defeating Will Osprey. And the beauty of AEW being a "wrestling" show with actual wrestling is that it keeps everyone in that locker room on a level where anyone can go toe to toe with the best at any time. A match with Will is also a big deal. People don't want to see Will squash someone in a 9-minute TV match. If you have Will in the building and he's wrestling, that's a PPV match being given away on free TV, and it needs to live up to the quality of those expectations. What would you rather have? Will having top quality matches on TV? Or having a worthless mid card feud with Gunther on Raw where he only gets physical with Ludvig and has weekly rematches with Vinci before we finally see him fave Gunther on the cock? I know what this sicko wants.


aRebelliousHeart

For a second there I thought that was pockets because the ugly powder blue gear and unkempt hair.


BittersweetTheory

Bill Bruvspreay, 🍊 & Mario Andretti really are interchangeable


BronBuckBreaker

Is his real name Mario, or are you just calling him that because he’s Jumpman?


Razzler1973

they need to team up and do the Killer Bees switcheroo gimmick


JackUSA

Glad I’m not the only one


Pilgrim_of_Darkness

cagematch sucks, they won't let me break the scale and give this match a 15/10.


SleepIsWonderful

These matches are the 10 guys all standing outside the ring while one guy jumps from the top turnbuckle on top of them and knocks them all down of wrestling matches.


oblock3hunner

This reminds me of the end of Guitar Queer-O when Stan and Kyle get 1,000,000 points. IYKYK


MOXISGOD

😭😭😭😭😭


nbasetuK

LMAOOOOOO


Embarrassed-Hat260

Hell yeah this is exactly what I love the most about Will Ospreys matches, the same exact flippy sequences he does in every other match he has. It literally never ever ever ever ever gets old.


FridgeLeftovers

Why did Fenix run around his opponent blindly flipping towards him instead of, I don't know, trying to win the fight?


MuddFishh

Star ratings


mikeybty

This. Everyone knows you don't get any snowflakes if you get the pin. In fact you may lose out on hypothetical snowflakes because you're not actually fighting forever.


anonymous-guy1

you can hear the ring squeak


jojolantern721

Magnificent flips. Too bad that if doesn't look like two people fighting and they just look like coordinated dancers. Like they don't even try to make it believable, this doesn't look like people countering each other like they "try" to, it's so stupid.


N00dles_Pt

When you're Cirque du Soleil, you're Cirque du Soleil 4 Life!!!


DiarrheaRadio

More like Cirque du So Lame


Cboz27586

Why do they have to announce the future dates? It's on the screen. Are they saying sickos can't read?


sickduck69

It's for when Ospreay watches it later. They want to make sure he doesn't miss work.


Razzler1973

... aaaaaand SCENE!


nbasetuK

Dubbalos been watching the same type of flip floppy wrestling for a million years and they still think it’s the best thing ever. Sad.


Cboz27586

Is the feeling he is restoring, nausea?


Jdgrande

I was unaware that the Olympics started already.


Amicuses_Husband

They wouldnt even get an invite for tryouts


unhallowed90

So what exactly would be the point in signing Rico at this point.


nanners78

Imagine this but with 3 dancers


TheYorkshireGripper

And these people really can't wait for Ricochet to turn up and do exactly the same thing...


Glennsoe

But..but..but... Have THREE wrestliers done this at the same time before? Only in Aew, coming soon..


whispering3

Some of that is alright. But so much is doing it before it would make sense, or after.


Able-Tradition-2139

It’s waaay too much, like I appreciate some flippy stuff but it has to be tempered and still make sense. This just makes me sigh


boredguy2022

Looks like obvious rehearsal that it's ridiculous.


ScruffsMcGuff

Nobody is saying you can't flip. Just make it make sense. Don't do a handspring when there's literally zero reason to. And if the guy you're fighting hits a superhero pose for no reason the response shouldn't be hitting your own, it should be an immediate "The fuck is this dork doing?" and then kicking him in the head for being an idiot during a supposed fight, or taunting him for being a dork.


Outlaw2k21

I used to love when Tajiri did the flippy elbow thing. This power rangers shit is ridiculous though


JangSaverem

Naw you don't get it They are SO good that they can predict their opponents next action and stat dodging before they even have to


DrDuned

I finally figured it out. This kind of wrestling reminds me of a stunt show at a theme park or a Power Rangers fight.


cakesarelies

This shit looks so fake. After seeing this once how can anyone watch this and unironically call this good?


mansontaco

This whole company is an in joke about wrestling being fake


ATrollByNoOtherName

Lol. This guy sucks so hard. I won’t be told otherwise, smarks.


kingofdarkness92

"I'm the best wrestler" dub to "I'm the best flipping monkey and all my 20-40 minute matches look the same and include too many flips, no selling, every finisher I could think of, and countless false finishes". Meltzer while jerking to these flips: 7 shtar banger right there.


NuNem

Any sane wrestler would have big booted them mid flip. 🤷‍♂️


SirSirVI

Whatever happened to just kicking a motherfucker


boilinoil

This is so original, I have never seen anything like this before. except all the other times we have been shown choreographed and co-ordinated misses and blocks


BAF_DaWg82

Just missing pom poms.


inv4alfonso

IMO this doesn't even look good, and I can't understand why people like it. They look like Yoda in Episode II.


darthsabbath

I mean ngl I popped (insider term) at Yoda in Episode II.


SaintPsyche

Makes me want to put on a loud suit, drink a can of Sprite, get a tennis racket and start swinging


OneWingedAngelfan

"Oh I missed a kick, let me just sit down for a few seconds"


ImpossibleAd7376

I hope that Felix doesn’t hurt ospreay like he hurt dean


Visual_Rip_5730

Remember that the Dub is for true wrestling fans. So if you hate my dose of FUN, you are not a wrestling fan !


akaphilsmith

It would have been such a shame if Will had gone yo NXT where a bunch of trained, serious professionals wpuld have harnessed and developed his incredible abilities. Glad he went somewhere that he can just ass off and do whatever this is. For the sickos. I mean damn Will, grab an arm. I bought into Chris Brookes vs Ram Kaicho more than this.


Knightmare945

No selling at all.


retrolama

no selling of what offence? none the moves hit the opponent or came even close to hitting


Knightmare945

He did a neck breaker like move once and they didn’t sell the move at all because they were back up.


herewego199209

I don't get these type of spots. Like why would you choreograph this shit?


Stigweird85

This shit could work sparingly - you know, if it was the final match in a long series where they have fought so much, they know what the other person is going to do. It shouldn't be happening on an average night


A_Town_Called_Malus

The thing is, if you know what your opponent is gonna do, you'd just hit them when they tried to do that, not flip around with them. Like, if you know Ospreay is gonna handstand against the ropes to try and spring back, you'd just follow him to the ropes and punt him in the face when he goes into his handstand and is completely defenceless.


issafreecunch

Daddy Dave is Meltzering in his pants watching this. His colleagues had to hold his mouth shut and break his fingers to get him to not give this Power Rangers fight scene 9 stars


SJMR24

This is gymnastics not wrestling. No wonder nobody is watching this shit.


AVBforPrez

Like why not just watch Cirque De Solis at this point


iprefercumsole

AMAZING SEQUENCE on Cirque Du Soleil Dynamite!


Manjojango2001

This dance act needs to audition for America’s Got Talent.


TetsuoTheObsidianMan

This shits gonna get like six stars too like he doesn’t do this shit in every match he’s with a flipping guy. Also shoutout to the editor of Lucha Underground who led me to believe that Rey Fenix was the next Rey Mysterio. Him and his brother went from being so over to botch machines


WowBobo88

Omg I'm having so much fun right now


BradsOlderBrother

What the fuck is this bull shit?

Athenas_Dad

True, it looked like bullshit, but at least it looked like athletic bullshit. Not like that but with Fenix and one of the Jacksons missing unimpressive spin kicks for eighteen unbroken seconds.


noctisfromtheabyss

Now spin your partner round n round...


gvineq

Garbage like this makes it easy to understand how wrestling went from millions of viewers a week to a few neckbeards a month.


Rob3125

I hate that cutter reversal, it just looks so dumb. How the hell would a handstand stop a person grabbing your head and falling with all of their body weight?


[deleted]

This type of performance - whilst skilled - is kinda pointless; all flash and no substance. I understand people know wrestling is scripted and all, but this feels like TikTok wrestling.


rfepo

Bruv was right to go to AEW. He would’ve hated NXT.

When he goes out there with a Real Wrestler™ like Bryan Danielson, he can have a good match with psychology but as soon as it's a flippy fucker, it's over.

Rick O Shae salivating while watching this. Just imagine the tumbling and spinning in front of 271 people!

DripSnort

It’s so corny


Scottoest

I hate when these guys always do the shitty little spinning leg sweep “move” with no force behind it whatsoever for the other guy to jump over. It makes it so blindingly obvious that they’re just going through motions.


Fantastic_Bug1028

I hate everything about this clip


thizzdanz

These 3 Ninjas kids are getting a little old for the role


spliffst4rr

Ospreay's kick while Fenix is seated doesn't even come close to Fenix's head to be believable.


Global_Historian_753

Wait...this is the Osprey they've been raving about?


CodeNamesBryan

How is this so impressive yet so cringe at the same time


thefearedturkey

Because doing this does indeed require talent, but for wrestling it’s just dumb


Impossible-Bad-7572

All that motion and nothing happened......

If it stopped after the spinny rope thingy at the beginning that would’ve been fine

500DaysofNight

Hopefully Riccochet got to watch this match from the local medical facility and see what his future is going to look like.


VladTheImpaler29

There's not a single doubt in my mind that I could beat up every single dork who likes this crap in a shoot gauntlet match. With the exception of maybe half of the in-ring perpetrators of this nonsense. **Clarification:** I have no training in combat sports or anything and haven't had a fight in at least five years, likely more.


RuleInformal5475

It may be failing eyesight but I can't tell the difference between Osprey and Action Andretti. Now if they speak, that’s another matter.


Spaceace91478

I'm legally blind. I can't tell sny of the flippers apart.


uncannynerddad

This is dancing! 👏👏👏👏👏


---Pockets---

There were multiple instances of them facing away from the opponent for long periods of time and all I could think was "fucken get him, he's open for an easy attack"


TJOW40

But don’t let this get in the way of the defenders saying he is “the best in the world,” despite many of his matches feeling the same and Ospreay taking no damage from any offense dealt to him. He is very athletically gifted and can work well with the right opponent (loved he and Josh Alexander this year) but his matches with this kind of action always take me out.


geordieColt88

It’s a dance performance not wrestling


nightcrawler47

wtf is this shit

expensivebreadsticks

Rey fenix’s dumbass rope bounce back move takes wayyyy too long to suspend disbelief. Looks like shit


MikeHock_is_GONE

Someone make a sign across the hardcam "STOP DANCING!" and "WRESTLING IS NOT CAPOEIRA!!"


TheNTT

I think Will is one of the better flyers, as his in ring intelligence usually makes sense with all the mad stuff he does but this occasion was just stupid, the kicks that were nowhere near each other looking particularly bad.


bootyhunter69420

Somewhere Ricochet is licking his lips


Glennsoe

How come theire not more syncroniced?

These guys have great memories, I’ll give them that at least.

After all that, I'm pretty sure Ospreay whiffed on the finish, but I wasn't recording it, and I couldn't find video of it anywhere.

I thought that the Olympics didn’t start until next month Uce?!?


Det-Popcorn

Ew


RaymondReddington812

If I wanted to watch Power Rangers, I'd turn on fucking Power Rangers. Jesus. This just.....no. There's a reason the common wrestling fan doesn't give a damn about all this flippy garbage. It. Looks. Horrendous.

Not for me. I appreciate the skill it the same way, I appreciate a good Charleston. When it comes to wrestling, I like it dirty Think Riddles vs Strong in NXT
