In a tonal shift from our last match, we're going to take a look at a high flying contest from New Japan as Ricochet takes on Will Ospreay in the 2016 Best of the Super Juniors tournament. We'll delve into the controversy around the match, and Erik will name every wrestling move ever created. Will it spark joy within Ryan's dark heart? We'll find out!Ryan's Record: 58 wins, 42 losses, 3 drawsHard Mark Merch: https://hard-mark-podcast.creator-spring.com/Official Ryan Murphy Match Ranking: https://hardmarkpodcast.wordpress.com/Hard Mark Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hardmarkpodcast

The Stiff Bois are here, mid Super Jnr tournament, to give an update on their teams, the key performers and stand out matches, and identify the stories they feel New Japan fans should be paying attention to as the tour moves into its most consequential stages. But before that, the lads dedicate 1 hour to kick off the pod, echoing the sentiments of Yota Tsuji, to give a state of the union address in the wake of a divisive Strong show, and confusing Gabe appearance, taking away much of the oxygen the updated Dominion card and unfolding BoSJ deserved.To join the Club or grab some merch to support the show.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thestiff.club ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weworkstiff.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find and follow the show:On X / twitter@weworkstiffOn Instagraminstagram.com/weworkstiff/On Redditreddit.com/r/WeWorkStiff/On Youtubeyoutube.com/@weworkstiffEmail us atweworkstiff@gmail.comPlease Listen.

In this episode, the hosts really dive deep into everything Will Ospreay! They break down his career across AEW and New Japan, looking at what makes his in-ring storytelling so captivating. They also get into the debate about his no-selling style and how he stacks up against guys like Ricochet. The conversation doesn't stop there – they also chat about the whole "spot fest" thing in modern wrestling, the epic rivalry between Ospreay and Okada, and what the future might hold for Ospreay. Plus, they briefly touch on Josh Alexander's work in TNA. This segment covers a lot of ground, from how storylines evolve and how injuries affect wrestlers to some truly memorable matches with Ospreay and Alexander.

Ultimately, they share their thoughts on Ospreay's future and why protecting those big finishing moves matters. The episode wraps up by analyzing Ospreay's recent championship win, breaking down key moments (including those referee calls!), talking about rising stars like Kyle Fletcher, and even giving a sneak peek at Extreme Rules 2013.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Will Ospreay02:57 Exploring Will Ospreay's Matches06:12 The No-Selling Controversy09:06 Comparing Styles: Ospreay vs. Ricochet11:55 Spot Fests in Modern Wrestling15:12 Okada vs. Ospreay: A Historic Rivalry18:00 The Future of Will Ospreay20:49 Josh Alexander and TNA Discussion30:42 The Evolution of Wrestling Storylines32:01 Injuries and Their Impact on Wrestling Dynamics34:50 Memorable Matches: Ospreay vs. Alexander36:07 The Art of Finishing Moves in Wrestling39:52 Ospreay's Rise: Key Matches and Rivalries43:53 The Future of Ospreay: Upcoming Challenges45:14 The Role of Managers and Interference in Matches46:00 Match Analysis and Referee Decisions48:56 Will Ospreay's Championship Victory51:56 Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher: A Rising Star54:51 Reflections on Will Ospreay's Career58:10 Previewing Extreme Rules 2013
