Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone talked about Will Ospreay after his IWGP United States title match vs Tetsuya Naito. The crowd cheers and loves Ospreay, even though he’s a heel. Does New Japan have an MJF problem with booking Will Ospreay if the fans reject it? Full episode here: https://youtu.be/WEwbSr-2u9g
Was just thinking bout this tonight.
Ospreay really really hasn’t been a heel for a /long/ time really. They kept on dialing back after his Resurgence promo. It’s mainly weird because they went over the top to make him a big heel but didn’t go for it really
NJPW does not operate the way AEW does. Outside of BC/HoT, there aren’t really any actual heels. Suzuki-gun used to be, once upon a time, but Tekkers have been bordering on faces for a while now. It’s not really an apt comparison.
