>>16558217While Will Ospreay's multiple five-star matches are an impressive feat – he has indeed earned more five-star ratings than the entire WWE has collectively over recent years – this doesn't automatically make his achievements more valuable than what top WWE superstars bring to the table.
Five-star ratings primarily resonate with hardcore wrestling purists who value technical skill, innovation, and high-risk movesets. Will Ospreay excels in these categories, consistently delivering matches that push the envelope of what's considered possible.
WWE, by contrast, focuses on a broader spectrum of entertainment – blending athleticism, charismatic characters, gripping storylines, and mass appeal. Stars like Roman Reigns, John Cena before him, and others have built enduring legacies without ever securing a five-star match. Their success is measured by ticket sales, merchandise revenues, and global viewership – metrics that dwarf the impact of individual match ratings.
To dismiss Ospreay's achievements due to WWE's lower five-star count would be myopic. Each promotion caters to different segments of the wrestling fanbase, and both Ospreay and WWE's mainstays hold merit in their respective realms. Five-star ratings, while prestigious, should not eclipse the broader influence and resonance of top WWE superstars.
