JBL Says Chad Gable Is The Best Wrestler In The World Following AAA Noche de Los Grandes

JBL has the highest praise for Chad Gable following his match at AAA Noche de Los Grandes, naming his as the best wrestler in the world. Gable battled El Grande Americano II as Original El Grando Americano at Saturday’s big AAA event, losing the match and then unmasking. The match has earned near-unanimous praise from fans and critics.

JBL was on commentary for the match and spoke about it on Busted Open Radio. He noted how difficult it is to play that kind of a heel in Mexico and praised Gable’s in-ring work in the promotion. You can see highlights below (per Fightful):

On Gable’s Work in AAA:

“When Chad first came back, we’re sitting there thinking about it — it’s easy to be a campy heel like he was in WWE with the videos of the Varsity Club or whatever the heck it was. But then to all the sudden try to get heat down in Mexico, that’s a different level, it’s not even the same business.”

On His In-Ring Work:

“He had a match down there with La Parka that was just phenomenal. I think Chad Gable is the best wrestler in the world and I don’t think it’s close. That was absolutely amazing what he and Kaiser did.”
