Will Ospreay says Hulk Hogan coming to TNA Wrestling “changed everything” he loved about the brand
While speaking to Baby Huey on 107.7 The Bone, AEW star Will Ospreay commented on being a fan of the TNA Wrestling brand…
“I was never a WWE guy. I liked it when I was a kid, but TNA was my thing, right? All I wanted growing up was to be the TNA X Division Champion. That’s all I could think about. AJ Styles was wearing that belt, and I wanted to do the old X match. Obviously, there’s a part of me that wishes I got that, but I’m not kicking myself over it. It is what it is.
I don’t think the current TNA is an avid representation of what it was when I was watching. Watching guys like AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Amazing Red, James Storm, Bobby Roode, and Samoa Joe completely changed the culture of wrestling. They completely changed what it looked like to be a pro wrestler. I think that gave me hope.
TNA was cool when it got on Spike, but I honestly felt like the moment [Hulk] Hogan and all those guys came in, it changed everything that I loved about it.”
