Today’s edition focuses on a huge championship match for Defiant Wrestling (formerly WCPW) in the UK, where Defiant’s Internet Champion WALTER gets ready to face “The Aerial Assassin” and former 2x IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay this Sunday, at Defiant Stacked ’18.
Defiant Wrestling (formerly WCPW) is going to provide us a rare first-time matchup as “The Aerial Assasin” Will Ospreay faces champion WALTER for the Defiant Internet Championship. Both are among the best in the world at what they do and the excitement for this match is at fever pitch. This is a clash of styles that fans need to see, as Ospreay is a high flyer who can fly around the ring, while WALTER has chopped the soul out of everyone he has faced this year and is a no-nonsense bruiser that leaves his opponents broken. WALTER vs Will Ospreay is the clash of two of the best in the world at what they do.
Will Ospreay
The history-making Junior Heavyweight is one of the best high fliers of his generation and has grown to become an amazing wrestler. One of the most GIFed wrestlers ever is as polished as he is innovative, making some insane moves look as easy as pulling off an arm drag. The New Japan Pro Wrestling star is used to facing heavyweights in multi-man tags, as well as his match with Kazuchika Okada earlier this year. The first ever British born Best Of The Super Juniors winner and the first ever British born IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion faces his biggest challenge yet as he takes on WALTER. Ospreay will need to be at his most innovative and flashy if he wants to tear down WALTER.
WALTER
2018’s wrestler of the year and one of the best “big men” of all time. WALTER has faced giants, underdogs, high flyers and everything in between and walked away triumphant almost every time. WALTER has beaten and thrown around opponents like Ospreay for years and one should expect him to unleash his chops on Ospreay. With so many ways for WALTER to destroy an opponent Ospreay will need to show more heart than anyone if he wants to overcome the mammoth Austrian.
