“That’s a Pipe Bomb”: Wrestling World Divided as MJF Uses a ‘Savage’ Hulk Hogan Reference to Troll Best Friend Adam Cole on AEW Dynamite

In less than three weeks, Maxwell Jacob Friedman will defend his AEW World Championship against his best friend Adam Cole at AEW All-In on August 27. However, the same night, the two opponents will engage in another battle, which will see both of them fighting from the same side.

In this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF, and Cole shared another fabulous promo in which the latter proposed the former join him in a match against the Aussie Open for ROH World Tag Team Championship. MJF agreed to it but before that, he used a Hulk Hogan reference to troll his best friend.

MJF and Cole were both present in the ring when the AEW World Champion started to lay insults on his ‘Better Than You Bay Bay’ tag team partner. He used some harsh words to make fun of Cole’s physical appearance. He said, “You are so skinny & ghostly pale white that if this were the 80s, [Hulk] Hogan would’ve snorted ya.” 

Cole, in response to the insults, stated that he is not interested in indulging in a promo battle with his All-In opponent. Instead, he proposed a partnership request to take on Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis on the Zero-Hour pre-show of All In.

A few Twitter users lambasted and mocked the AEW president and his company for doing the same again.

On July 29, MJF and Cole challenged FTR for their AEW World Tag Team Champions in a losing effort on AEW Collision. Do you think they will win the ROH tag team title at Zero Hour? Also, tell us what you think of MJF insulting Cole using Hogan’s reference. Write your comments below.
