Was MJF vs. Will Ospreay the greatest match in the history of AEW Dynamite?
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, longtime wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer gave his thoughts on the MJF vs. Will Ospreay match from the 250th edition of AEW Dynamite. Meltzer said it “may be the best match in Dynamite history” and stated the following…
“It’s amazing because I’ve seen so many times people try and pull off pins at 59:59 and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone actually pull it off. The fact they pulled it off like that… You know they would have announced it was 59:59 had they gone three seconds long or five seconds short or whatever and all that but they actually pulled that off.”
“They went 59 minutes and 59 seconds. They did a lot of stuff that was not simple, especially Ospreay but even Max did a few things. I did not see one thing that didn’t look good, everything they did. They were doing… So many things and the longer you go in a match like this when you’re doing the high-flying stuff, it increases your odds (of messing up) just out of sheer tiredness and also the ropes getting slippery and you getting sweaty and things like that.”
“The execution was incredible you can’t say enough for both guys, they were fantastic.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)
