Ric Flair on Omega vs. Ospreay: “When they have a great match 300 times a year and 200-hour broadways, get back to me”
As seen during the 2026 AEW All In: London PPV event, Will Ospreay defeated Kenny Omega to become the AEW men’s world champion. In a post via Twitter/X, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair reacted to Omega vs. Ospreay being compared to his matches against Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat…
“No one has more respect for Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay than me! But to compare them to Steamboat and I is like comparing the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean!
When they have a great match 300 times a year and 200-hour broadways, get back to me! Until then, there is no problem with being number two.
You are great young talent, but let’s get serious, kids! You should only hope that you have people talking about your matches 37 years later! WOOOOO!”
