Will Ospreay: “I have always wanted to see kind of like a World Cup formula. Not just with (New Japan and) IMPACT, I think it would be good if we had like a representative of each company and put them in like a block tournament and I’d love to see who would be the best wrestler in the world.”

1. I’d love to see the bookers and presidents’ battle royal no holds barred deathmatch in the office to decide who will win.

3. I would too except promotions need to put aside their ego for it to go smoothly

4. I’ll love to see it but will a company allow their top stars to lose is the question.

5. Just another way for England to bottle

6. He dreams in Kayfabe.

7. Bookers play Rock paper scissors to determine who goes over

8. That’s why we got create a wrestler in video games. To book the impossible.

9. Ive thought of this before, something like an olympics for companies you would consider to be above the Indie companies, like Triple A, Impact, NWA, NJPW, Noah etc. How many representatives can participate etc.

10. Shane McMahon already won the World Cup of Wrestling

11. I’d definitely like to see something like this happen and we’re closer to it now than like 10 years ago, but still ways away.

12. Too many fragile egos. It would never work. The major western companies cannot coexist. WWE would try to big league everyone. And Tony’s guys would have to win or else. And before the resident AEW stans downvote, recall that bro was throwing a temper tantrum on Twitter over losing to NXT last week.

13. He was in the World Cup… He came up 2nd to Kushida it was ran in WCPW in conjunction with NJPW, ROH, WXW, Impact and WWE stars.

    WWE stars technically because Joseph Conners replaced a very newly re-signed Drew McIntyre.

14. Problem is that wrestling is scripted. Companies will never agree one who gets to win the pony.

15. WCPW already did it will… you were in it

16. I always thought they had a great set up for something like that back when they were working with RPW, ROH and CMLL, they could’ve easily had a rotating world cup style event moving around to the various home countries of the promotions.

17. Okada has talked about this too

18. Okada said something similar. With how new Japan has so many partners, and now seemingly there is no conflict between them with the new cmll and aew deal, I imagine we could at the bare minimum get a njpw x cmll x aew x impact kinda show in the future
