    Mjf is so well spoken and can merge his "character" effortlessly with his real personality that he can basically stay in character forever if he wants to. That's actually high class method acting. He has a bright future in the business.
  • MJF is the best thing to have happened to professional wrestling in a decade
  • His line on Wednesday that we would give our wifes to him and the only reason he doesnt use them is because he has standards was an absolute masterpiece of a line. Loved it.
  • @VillainShow
    MJF has perfected the role that made alright wrestlers into Mega Stars. His character is based off his actual self, but at times magnified. This is what Stone Cold and The Rock, even John Cena could pull off that made them into legends they are right now. At 26 as well, my god MJF is truly very dedicated and is one of a kind
  • @azzzrey
    This dude just put over AEW, MLW, WWE, Sheamus, Mox and pretty much everything and everyone he shouldn't without skipping a beat in his own gimmick. Just wow! Masterful performance
  • @nyfolkhero
    MJF saying he doesn’t like MMA because it’s fixed and phony 🤣 dude knows how to stay in character
  • @ruggie.74
    MJF is VERY quickly establishing himself as one of the best talkers of all time. This kid is an absolute genius.
  • @YxngFresco
    The best part of this interview was Max talking about Tony having his back against the wall. His love for the promotion is heartwarming, regardless of what MJF says to do with deals and money.
  • Quickest 48 minutes of my life, he’s so good at articulating himself even when it comes to the serious talk
  • @zachnotzack4
    MFJ is the messiah of modern day pro wrestling. My dad introduced me to The Rock in my youth and I hope to introduce my future kids to this guy.
  • @allelite2754
    I'm only 14 minutes in but the fact that I can't figure out which bits are kayfabe and which are MJF talking from his heart is a testament to his ability as a professional wrestler. I love pro wrestling and I love when a performer can keep me engrossed because this is why we watch it. Thanks Ariel for all the amazing content you've provided recently, in particular this interview and the HHH one. MJF, bastard as always but he's our bastard, thank you sir for this
  • @crashkey
    "You Called Tony Khan a f***ing mark" "At the time... At the time it felt warranted" 🤣 "So what was the state of the relationship?" "Not Good, now its great!" "What changed?" "Money" 🤣 Great stuff
  • I’m a WWE mark but MJF is absolutely right! Ever since he’s come back, AEW has been constantly hitting 1 mil viewers. No CM Punk, no Young Bucks, no Kenny. MJF backs up everything he says 👏🏽
  • @jovanss2361
    This guy is an absolute genius. It's like he's been in the business for 40 years...
  • MJF is the young GOAT. He’s got that 80’s heel feel to em’. The “bidding war of 2024” is gonna be really interesting.
  • @LeScap
    "I don't like MMA because it's fixed and phoney but the reason I like professional wrestling it's because it's straight foward , directly to the point and it's as real as it gets." - MJF, the GOAT
  • @latejl6193
    MJF is going to single handedly make me start watching AEW lmao.
  • @vert1
    MJF is the savior of wrestling
  • @ricks5876
    Big fan of MJF, it's refreshing to have a professional wrestler that's so humble and salt of the earth. Hope he gets all the wealth he deserves.
  • "Work or shoot?" "I don't know what that means" Perfect!
