10 AEW Wrestlers WWE Should Fear The Most

MJF presents a simple but quite incredible character, in that he is the biggest a*sehole on the face of the earth.

He is Joffrey Baratheon with a trust fund, a phenomenal boy-popper of a narcissistic prick who aspires to be and is not, incredibly, too far removed from the 2003 Hollywood Rock vintage. He is so entertainingly loathsome that he can generate the modern boo/yay in-ring chorus throughout the course of a single promo.

He boasts one of those wonderful Adam Cole faces too, with the ability to sustain the attention of crowds throughout his often crazed matches. He is a handsome, charismatic superstar-in-waiting: an incredibly expressive performer set to star on a stage that will afford him freedom of expression.

WWE depicts its midcard villains as one-dimensional destroyers or glib bait-and-switchers. Neither mode is particularly inspiring. In the age of relentless go-away heat, MJF is captivating in his despicable, almost brave strain of sh*thousery. He tells interviews off for having "saggy t*ts", if in fact he even allows them the privilege of asking him a question.

MJF is a consummate, nasty, entitled little sh*t - just the worst - and the national audience may not settle for the overused "...not" promo after watching his wonderful awfulness.
