0:00.0	All systems are going.
0:01.3	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Bleas!
0:08.1	Here we go, my friends.
0:10.9	Welcome back to another audio adventure on Insight.
0:14.1	I'm CVV, Chris Van Fleet.
0:16.2	So good to have you with us, and so good to be sitting down with the billy goat. Oh yeah. If you've been
0:23.1	listening to the show for a while, you know that I'm a big fan of what Will Osprey does. And I get
0:29.6	that he's very divisive, right? I personally think that he's one of the best, if not the very
0:36.5	best wrestler in the world right now.
0:39.1	But there's a lot of people who obviously agree with me and think that he's incredible.
0:44.2	And then there's people on the other end of the spectrum who just maybe don't appreciate
0:48.2	that style of wrestling.
0:50.5	I also think there's a lot of people who just aren't familiar with his work.
0:53.8	They don't watch a lot of New Japan. And maybe they've only seen highlights, or maybe they've only seen
0:59.0	what he's done in AEW, which I don't think was the best display of what he's capable of. But I love
1:07.2	that we did this interview in person when New Japan was in Los Angeles for resurgence
1:11.7	because it's been three years since he was on the show. So the last time he was on the show
1:17.1	was like when the world was completely shut down. It's a great conversation. I think you should
1:22.3	go back and listen to it. It's so good. But he has changed and evolved so much since then. So this conversation,
1:31.6	I think, really complements that conversation a lot. So please share this with a friend. Share this
1:38.4	with a fellow Will Osprey fan because I think they'll really enjoy this. And tag us online.
1:45.1	Take a screenshot and tag us.
