AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman has to be one of the best promo talkers in pro wrestling. When he speaks, the audience pays attention to what he says in his amazing promos. Now a former WWE superstar feels that he would own MJF on the microphone.
While making an appearance on “Busted Open Radio”, Enzo Amore, aka nZo, is confident that he would brutalize MJF on the microphone in five minutes. He believes that he’ll trend number one across the world.
“It’s not even a question. We don’t have to ask those questions because if that’s the truth of the matter, my phone is on. People know where to call me. People know where to find me. If you want to give the people that shit tomorrow, you’d be wasting a lot of time, money, and investment because that’s a build that deserves to be built. I’m not taking anything away from other people who do great work on the microphone, I want to see other people eat. Generational talent? I had ten years in this business. My first generation, my decade is done.”
“What I did is undeniable. You can’t ever discredit it. I’m called a babyface because I got over. I don’t have to shit on the people and bury the people. I can make people love me. I can make people listen, cheer, chant. You can’t do that. Until you make people chant your catchphrases, love you, and book you as babyface, it’s easy to be a heel. It’s easy to shit on these people. It’s real easy. It’s called RC Cola, cheap fucking pop. When I said, ‘you’re sitting in your mother’s basement jerking off.’ ‘Fuck you.’ I didn’t curse for seven years. I didn’t curse or say a bad word. I created a word. SAWFT, Sawft. They made millions of Snickers bars sponsoring the history of WrestleMania. One and only corporate sponsor, Snickers. SAWFT, they made millions of Snickers bars in one campaign leading to the Hardys return match at WrestleMania. It was built for Enzo and Cass to win those titles. The Hardys came back to the greatest anticipation, the biggest pop in the history of wrestling maybe. I was there, I was in that match, because the match was built on Enzo and Cass and nobody knew they were coming. To get your own match on the card at WrestleMania for the tag titles in a ladder match. Get the fuck out of here. Don’t compare apples to oranges.”
“I hope he made Burberry a lot money, but he ain’t seeing any of that money. I sold t-shirts that said Certified G on them and I made a million dollars before I was 30 years old in this business. I didn’t need contract disputes because I did that shit on a rookie contract with merchandise sales. Don’t ever compare apples to oranges. Don’t ever disrespect me. Five minutes? Brutalize him. You give me five minutes on a live microphone, I’m trending number one in the world. When is the time you drew a two? When CM Punk got there is when they drew a two? If I show up on that screen, you’re getting the number one trend in the world, guaranteed, with or without MJF on the screen. I didn’t have to be there when Cass showed up, and he trended, and I trended number five on my fucking couch. It wasn’t Wardlow trending, it wasn’t Cass, it was Enzo trending.”
“Not WWE, not AEW, not MJF, there’s no three letters that can hold me … I don’t have to s**t on people. I don’t have to take cheap shots. I don’t have to curse on a microphone in front of people. I don’t have to. It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it.”
As amazing as the possibility of a face-off between the two would be, the chances of nZo and MJF crossing paths in AEW are unknown. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion is performing on the independent circuit. Enzo was released from his WWE contract in January 2018 following allegations of sexual assault made to the Phoenix Police Department. The investigation was later dropped due to a lack of evidence. The incident also caused him to be blacklisted from the company.
Meanwhile, MJF successfully defended the AEW World Championship and retained the Dynamite Diamond Ring against Ricky Starks on AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming on December 14th. We’ll see who will challenge The Salt of the Earth next.
Would nZo owing MJF on the mic really happen? Sound off in the comments!
