Move over Chris Jericho, there’s a new greatest sports entertainer in town.
Tommaso Ciampa has had a successful run on the WWE main roster since his callup from NXT. Currently aligned with The Miz, Ciampa is set to face Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship on next week’s edition of Monday Night RAW.
When asked on the Smash The Mat Podcast to describe himself for fans who may not know him, Ciampa replied:
“I’m the greatest sports entertainer of all time. I started saying it when I was wrestling Johnny Gargano, who to me, is one of, if not the best in-ring wrestler there is. I started to compare us, as you would any feud or foe that you have. What do I have that he doesn’t? Well, I talk. I walk, I look the way I look. As well as the way I perform in the ring. Overall, when you think of ‘what does the prolific professional wrestler of today look like?’ It’s me. Maybe, minus four inches. Nothing I can do about that, though. You control what you can control. When I say I’m the greatest sports entertainer of all time, it’s because I am. I have a really good in-ring IQ. I know how to tell a story and make everything count. My strikes are second to none. My intensity and focus, second to none. My work ethic, second to none. People are going to start to see that over the next few months. The more opportunities I get, the more times I get up to bat, the more home runs I hit, the more fans are going to understand what they’re dealing with.”
