10 Most Punchable Faces In Wrestling Today
1. MJF
It’s a miracle MJF hasn’t been punched already. The prodigious young heel is absolutely fearless, cheerfully berating the crowd as he struts to the ring, usually after a few weeks of cutting incendiary promos. The fans give him the verbals; Friedman leans in, pointing at his chin, daring his verbal assailants to make things physical.
He has the benefit of venue security to keep him feeling safe, of course, but any one of the fans he gleefully goads could easily get at least one shot at him before they were escorted from the premises. And while they’d suffer the consequences, legal, financial, or physical, they’d have a lasting memory of punching the business’ finest heel to cherish forever.
At 25 years old, MJF has a remarkably honed act. Every detail screams “hit me”, from his smug expression to his carefully spiked hair to his Burberry scarf. He spits venom about the town he’s in, his opponent’s family, beloved, deceased wrestlers.
It’s safe to imagine that, were MJF to rile a fan to the point of physical violence, he’d take it as a badge of honour. He’s an old school heel; it’s his job to get the fans vexed, and he’s exceptionally good at it.
