Real1 hopeful that NJPW debut will lead to Tokyo Dome appearance

[Chris]

The former Enzo Amore is setting his sights high when it comes to his potential future with NJPW following his debut for the promotion this Saturday at Philadelphia's 2300 Arena.

As part of the All-Star Junior Festival USA event, the man now known as Real1/nZo will be in a trios match alongside Jack Cartwheel & Starboy Charlie vs. Ryusuke Taguchi, Rich Swann & The DKC.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio Tuesday, Real1 said if he gets the opportunity from Rocky Romero to "do what I do, I guarantee you I end up over in Japan in the Tokyo Dome in front of a hundred f**king thousand people and taking everything that I deserve that should be f**king mine."

This won't be Real1's first dalliance with the promotion as he and the current Big Bill in AEW jumped over the guardrail in an angle during the April 2019 ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard at Madison Square Garden following a multi-team IWGP Tag Team title match. He and Bill never wrestled for the promotion, though.

"I’m grateful for the opportunity, honestly. Me being gracious is something you don’t hear too much...humility and humbleness when I cut promos and start talking, but I have the utmost respect for what they do in New Japan and the way that it’s done and the honor that it holds and how long they’ve been doing it. A standard of success -- a precedent that has been set in the business internationally," he said.

Enzo and the words njpw wrestler just sounds odd

 

[Chris]

He's lucky I trust Rocky so much to give this a chance lmao his MLW run was fine, it didn't showcase him as much as it could have so I'll keep an open mind

 

[Samoa Looch]

I haven't seen much of his Indy run, but heck, I'd give him a chance. Maybe he's grown?

 

[Roy Mustang]

Wow NJPW, you found someone I want to see less in the G1 than Chase Owens and EVIL. His MLW run was fine but I don't see him fitting NJPW at all imo

I've only seen the MLW run which I took Enzo's side on when the details came out if that tells you how that went

 

[O-Blaze]

Enzo gonna win the G1 next year. Bet all the money you have on him.

Yea, I think I remember.

I think he's gonna be fine. He probably won't blow anyone away, but I'm sure he can put on an acceptable showing.

I don’t feel new Japan is necessarily the right fit for him, but I might be the only person that likes and does want to see him wrestle somewhere lol

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I think he might have a place on strong though.

If only they had an actual weekly show still. But for these American shows, I think he'll fit in fine

All 5 bucks?

Who knows, maybe this is the start of his path to becoming All Elite...

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Funnily enough I think an Enzo and orange Cassidy program would be hilarious and I’d be a 107 for it.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Maybe even form a strange bedfellows group after.

Damn, that actually does sound rather intriguing ... I mean you can say what you want about Enzo, but he definitely can rock that Mic.
