Jeff Cobb On What Makes Will Ospreay So Good, Talks Fan Reaction To Him

Jeff Cobb has plenty of experience with Will Ospreay in the ring, and he recently spoke about what makes the AEW World Champion so good. Cobb has a history with Ospreay from their time in NJPW together, where they were both in United Empire.

Cobb touched on Ospreay as a perfumer during his appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. He kept it simple, saying it’s “everything” that makes Ospreay as good as he is. Cobb also spoke about the polarizing reactions the internet has to his former stablemate. You can see highlights below:

On What Makes Ospreay So Good:

“Oh man, it’s everything that he does. Everybody’s gonna have the critics, right? Everybody’s gonna say, oh, he does too much. He does too much of this. He no-sells this or whatever. But like, he puts it in the right places.”

On the Polarizing Reaction To Ospreay:

“Yeah, and then again, that just goes back to people having opinions, and that’s totally fine. But I’ve been in the ring with him multiple times, and I never have to worry about him because I know he’s going to be there for something, and he says it’s the use of his autism, he can remember everything. I was like, yeah, but it’s not just remembering stuff. It’s the facials, it’s the body language, it’s everything, the little things that go into it. Again, I don’t have to worry about him. We had that match a couple of weeks ago where we beat his team for the New Japan Six Man Championships, and I didn’t have to worry about stuff that we had together because I was like yeah I trust him and he’s so good at what he does. I don’t worry about him because I know he’s gonna do it no matter what, like he did Pac’s finish at the tribute show.”
