Kyle Fletcher was the latest guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. They discussed a number of topics and one of the topics was the comparisons to Will Ospreay and Randy Orton.
Below is what Fletcher had to say about comparisons to Will Ospreay and Randy Orton:
“It’s one of those things where for a hot second you take it as a compliment and it’s like at service level it’s like ‘Oh, thanks.’ I think Will’s incredible at what he does, so I take that as a compliment. But then I feel like the more I sit with it and the more I hear it, the more it makes me go, ‘You know what? I don’t want to be anyone else.’ I don’t want to be a second coming of Will Ospreay.
I think after shaving the head I got a lot of Randy Orton. And it’s the same feeling of at first that’s really cool. Like that’s a great comparison but I really want to start carving my own path and I don’t want to be the second anyone else. So yeah, I think that’s kind of what I’m focusing on and just trying to carve my own path now.
I understand it totally. Like it’s not like I hold any ill will towards people that say that to me. Like it’s a huge compliment. I think the world of both of those guys. But yeah, for me it’s now more important to start finding my individuality and finding who I am as a wrestler and that being the first thing that people think of when they see me instead of a second someone else, right?”
