Craig Jones recently delivered a recap of the latest Who’s Number One (WNO) event.
And, well, he focused a lot on Nicholas Meregali.
Specifically, Jones decided to comment on Meregali’s focus on authenticity:
I call this recap: “Authenticity has a price.” You got to see Nicolas Meregali say that.
He says that a lot. I had no idea what the f*ck he was talking about. But obviously, leading up to this match, we saw this shtick appear. And it’s obviously to blow up him, blow up the match, sell, gain popularity.
He continued to comment on Meregali’s behavior, seemingly “roasting” him for copying what Gordon Ryan does:
What I found interesting was how totally unique it was, how it’s something that we’ve never seen in this sport before.
I really like the way he approached this and he said, I’m not going to do what everyone else does. I’m not going to pretend to be someone else. I’m going to find a way to market myself as an individual for this event.
He went out there. He had some sh*t talking. He called himself the number one. He called himself the king.
He places the crown on the head and he called his submission before the match.And I really was, like – authenticity does have a price. And that was mind blowing to see someone so unique in this sport.
And I love it.
