10 Most Vicious Personal Insults In Wrestling History

5. MJF's Cheap Heat Is Money

MJF is the last of a dying breed.

He's the last wrestler who doesn't do a sh*tty gentle shove of a suicide dive, and he's the last wrestler capable of drawing a specific strain of heat.

He was fabulous in his verbal jousts opposite Cody Rhodes and Chris Jericho. And by fabulous read: very cruel. He said that Cody had a sh*tty lisp and that Jericho's t*tties were further apart than Shane McMahon's punches and the intended target. He actually said something funnier, by advising that the audience should not confuse the Labours of Jericho with Jericho being in labour, though it was an easy mistake to make.

Better yet was his verbal incineration of Brian Pillman Jr.'s mother.

MJF is a fantastic TV wrestler, and this programme illuminated that he was no longer a prodigy but simply a top act irrespective of his age. He heated up a TV undercard match and added more juice to it than the majority of PPV matches, and he did so by sh*t-talking a man's mother. It doesn't get more personal than that: rechristening her "Methanie," MJF claimed that Pillman Jr. was so useless that he was the one second-generation wrestler she should have swallowed.

F*cking hell.
