"He’s the Rey Mysterio of promos" - WWE Hall of Famer praises the work of top AEW star (Exclusive)

AEW has picked up a number of legendary wrestlers that once called WWE a home. While many of these all-time greats wrestlers have passed through WWE, few are more renowned than Rey Mysterio.

The luchador made a name for himself as the ultimate underdog when he first rose to fame, and he has been a fan-favorite ever since. Mysterio initially had a successful WCW run during the 90s, where he was a part of the Latino World Order.

During an exclusive interview with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, former WCW President Eric Bischoff compared Mysterio to AEW's MJF. Biscoff was asked whether Friedman would thrive in WCW, and he responded by comparing his promo work to Mysterio's in-ring ability.

“Oh yes! Anybody with the gift that MJF has – and yes, he would have been," said Bischoff. "MJF is...he’s the Rey Mysterio of promos. There you go."

MJF will face CM Punk at AEW Revolution

Friedman will take on his former hero at AEW Revolution tonight. The rivalry has been years in the making, as MJF met Punk when he was only a child.

This clash promises to be a must-see battle, as it will be the promotion's second Dog Collar match. If he wins, perhaps Friedman will be able to show the world why Bischoff believes his promo work is comparable to the legendary Rey Mysterio.
