All In London ended with the coronation of Will Ospreay as the new World Champion of All Elite Wrestling. "The Aerial Assassin" defeated Kenny Omega in one of the most highly rated matches of the year. A match that has been talked about non-stop in recent days. However, there is someone who has downplayed not only the match itself, but also the rivalry between both men.
We are talking about Ric Flair, who wanted to share his opinion after some fans compared Ospreay and Omega's rivalry to the one "The Nature Boy" had with Ricky Steamboat in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This is how the legend explained it through a tweet on his X account.
Nobody has more respect for Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay than me. But comparing them to Steamboat and me is like comparing the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
When you have an incredible match 300 times a year and 200-minute matches that end in a draw, then come talk to me! Until then, there's no problem with being number two.
You are great young talents, but let's be serious, guys! You should only hope to have people talking about your matches 37 years later!
WOOOOO!
The Flair and Steamboat rivalry is one of the most iconic in the history of professional wrestling. Both men shared the ring in nearly 300 matches over almost two decades, with seven title changes in singles matches. On the other hand, Omega and Ospreay have shared the ring 37 times, four of them in singles matches. The last three, with championships on the line, have been hailed as instant classics.
