Nic Nemeth On Match With MJF: We Can Do It, He Couldn’t Possibly Hang In The Ring With Me
Nic Nemeth responds to MJF.
On Thursday, January 22, MJF made a surprise call to Busted Open Radio and offered Nic Nemeth a shot at the AEW World Championship. Some fans immediately ruled out the possibility of the match happening, as Nemeth currently resides with TNA Wrestling.
Speaking with Card Player for a new interview, Nemeth assured everyone that the match can indeed happen, primarily due to the fact that TNA allows him to do whatever he wants.
“The really funny thing is, yeah, we can do it. I don’t know any inside dealings with AEW, but it seems like MJF can do what he likes. He’s now hitting like independent shows. He’s going to CMLL, he’s all over the world. And I’m allowed to do basically whatever the hell I want with TNA. So, it absolutely can be real. I’m sure he was just talking out his ass because he thinks I probably won’t do it or it probably can’t happen.”
Continuing on, Nemeth claimed that MJF cannot hang in the ring with him.
“But I appreciate it because he’s got all the potential in the world to be one of the greatest of all time and so far from what I’ve watched and I’m a fan of his, but he couldn’t possibly hang in the ring with me. He’s hung around a broken-down Daniel Bryan. Okay, that was probably just Daniel Bryan kind of leading the way, so the kids got a hell of a future. He’s going to be a fantastic multi-time champion, and I really think he’ll be solidified as a legend, but at the moment he couldn’t hold my jockstrap.”
Finishing off the topic, Nemeth noted that he would be humbled and honored to take part in a match with MJF.
“But if we ever get a chance to prove it, I would be humbled and honored to do it. Look at this match from two people who work in two different companies. And if we find a way to make it happen, whether it’s money or people or a city, I’ll do it and donate to charity. I don’t care. Have this match that no one thinks could possibly happen this year and make it go down and have everyone saying, “holy shit, this stuff can really happen. Fans can make things happen. So not just MJF talking on his ass and trying to promote his show that I was going to watch anyway because I have to talk about it on Thursdays on Busted Open. But give him a chance to actually back up the shit he talks.”
Brody King will face MJF in a AEW World Championship eliminator match on the February 4 episode of AEW Dynamite. Fans can check out the current lineup for that show here.
