Adam Cole Recalls Meeting MJF Early On In His Career, Says He Was ‘Incredibly Talented’

Adam Cole recalls meeting MJF very early on in his career.

On the July 5 episode of AEW Dynamite, Adam Cole and MJF will team up for the first time ever, as the two rivals will face a team in the Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament. Despite being rivals in recent weeks, Cole and MJF were randomly selected to team together in the tournament.

While appearing on a recent episode of Superstar Crossover, Cole recalled meeting the AEW World Champion at an early point in his career.

“I actually met MJF when he was very, very early on in his career. From the moment I saw him, and I mean this, this is regardless of what I think about him personally, but from the moment I saw him, I knew he was super talented. He was one of those guys who got it very, very early on. He was someone who put just as much time and energy into his promo work as he did into his bell-to-bell in-ring competition work. So yeah, he was incredibly talented from a very young age. He was definitely one of those guys that when I saw I was like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be a guy I’m gonna be seeing a lot more of.'”

MJF has been trolling Cole during his recent Twitch streams by calling him and sending messages in his chat. Cole also went on to say that he doesn’t know why he answered MJF’s calls 

“I don’t know why I picked up, I don’t know. It was so silly. I don’t even know why I picked up.”
