DEFIANT Wrestling has announced that former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and one of the biggest stars to emerge from the thriving UK scene Will Ospreay will be taking on WALTER as part of their upcoming Stacked ’18 event which takes place Sunday August 26th from the Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester, England.
The clash of styles between the two performers is evident, Ospreay is regarded as one of if not THE greatest high flying performer on the planet, although he is well versed in the British mat-based style. WALTER however is one of the most dominant forces in wrestling and will use his powerhouse style to keep Ospreay at bay. This has the potential to be one of the best matches of 2018.
If you’ve never heard of WALTER then he is certainly a performer that should be on your radar. The Austrian powerhouse has been dominating the Tag and Heavyweight divisions in wXw, PROGRESS and PWG over the past couple of years and he is now being slated as a future WWE/NXT signee (even if he denies any sort of negotiations). The de-facto leader of the Ringkampf stable (alongside Timothy Thatcher and previously NXT roster member Axel Dieter Jr) has a ton of potential on the world stage and has already garnered critical praise from the likes of Dave Meltzer, who gave his PWG All-Star Weekend bout against Zack Sabre Jr from October 2017 a 5 star rating.
Tickets for the show are available to purchase here.
