Fans like to debate Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s annual PWI 500 ranking. So do pro wrestlers. Sometimes “the boys” are just letting their inner fan flag fly. Sometimes, they’s using their arguments to set up possible future business.
2021’s seventh place finisher Will Ospreay has been itching for a chance to show his stuff against everyone from Seth Rollins to CM Punk. He definitely wants to face this year’s top ranked Kenny Omega again sometime soon. The always brash Brit is confident how that match would turn out, too...

Last chat we had was “you need to be the guy”

Since then you left we sold out MSG, sold more tickets at the Tokyo dome than ever before, and put on banger after banger.
A pandemic put the breaks on & you know it.

Second place finisher Roman Reigns is above all this, but there’s a WWE Superstar who’s always happy to rep himself and the company...
BEHOLD! The BEST wrestler alive (yep, still me), on the MOST watched wrestling program on television (by far), LIVE this Friday in the World’s Most Famous Arena (@TheGarden) crushing a HOFer’s dreams (because…it always comes back around).
