Will Ospreay is All Elite, but he almost…”Crossed The Line”
It was previously reported that TNA had a “massive offer” on the table for Will Ospreay.
Now, we have more details on that offer.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider:
“While Ospreay signed a multi-year deal with AEW, Impact Wrestling was very much in the running to land Ospreay and made what sources close to the situation have described as a “fantastic, massive offer” to the British star.
One Impact source conceded it was likely the largest offer to a single star since Anthem took over ownership of the company, admitting it was a “seven figure level offer.”
The same source noted that when Ospreay worked the recent Chicago weekend events, he seemed to be having such a great time, several talents assumed he was coming in full-time next year, especially when he cut a promo about wanting to compete in a TNA ring.“
IMPACT/TNA Wrestling President Scott D’Amore had previously talked about Will Ospreay and said that he’d had “discussions with Anthem Sports” about him, and that they knew who Ospreay was.
TNA also missed out on CM Punk recently, despite a “major money offer” on the table before he returned to WWE last weekend.
IMPACT Wrestling is rebranding to TNA in January, and it would’ve been great to get a huge name attached to the rebrand.
