10 Current Wrestlers Already BETTER Than Your Favourites

5. MJF (The Miz)

MJF didn't land on a major company's TV until May 2019. Even then, he had to wait until October that year to show his skills on a weekly platform of any note. Meanwhile, The Miz debuted on WWE programming via Tough Enough in 2004, but didn't really get going until 2006-2007 and certainly wasn't a top attraction until 2010-ish.

The point? Friedman settled into a groove far quicker than Miz did, and he's been positively flying ever since. There are parallels between both guys, although MJF didn't have to go through the obnoxious hazing Miz did during his formative years in the biz. That was brutal, and Miz deserves huge praise for coming through it.

Still, MJF is well on the road to being better than him on-screen.

He's comfortable as both a heel and a face, which isn't necessarily the case with Miz. Being babyface has always been a challenge for the WWE star, but Friedman seems to understand how to adapt his character to suit either alignment.

Dude's still only 27 too.
