10 Current Best Talkers In Wrestling

As if it could be anyone else?

There is a reason why Maxwell Jacob Friedman calls himself a generational talent. Because it's the truth.

For all the fire and insults that the man obliterates his opponents and the AEW fans with, there was line he said during his expletive ridden tirade at Tony Khan on the Dynamite after Double or Nothing earlier this year.

'I'm the only one who makes you feel.'

It cannot be stressed how important that is. We've seen for years, talented wrestlers rolled out in front of a crowd, to spit the same verbiage in slightly different ways. It's more functional than thrilling, but with MJF, it is different. Every time he picks up a mic, the crowd falls silent.

Just this year alone, he has cut a number of 'all timer' promos. The incredibly emotional recounting of his betrayal by CM Punk that moulded him into the despicable man he is today. The aforementioned explosion towards his boss, calling out his love of 'ex-WWE guys' and telling him he belonged behind the barriers. The first face-to-face with Punk.

Then there was two weeks ago, when the 'Salt of the Earth' confronted William Regal in the ring, recounting an incredible story of Regal's neglegence in regard to MJF's talent when the 'Gentleman Villain' was still working in NXT. It was an outstanding promo, and if AEW are trying to get the 'Devil' over as the biggest babyface in wrestling, all they have to do, is keep giving him the microphone.
