12 Most INSANE Things Wrestlers Have EVER Said On AEW TV
10. MJF (General)
MJF is the most charismatic wrestler in the game, still, and despite some ropey experiments as a babyface, he remains one of the most compelling characters.
He’s very clever; as a sociopathic “out of pocket” heel, he knows precisely where the line is. He doesn’t step beyond it; he struts towards it, places his hands on his head, swivels his hips, and thrusts against it. It also helps that MJF is incredibly funny. If he does cross the line, at least it’s entertaining.
In the pandemic era, MJF performed in a storyline premised on a takeover of Chris Jericho's Inner Circle, as part of which the faction held a ‘Town Hall” meeting. Rotund podcaster Conrad Thompson asked a question: “Will Sammy Guevara rejoin the Inner Circle?”
“Oh my God Turkey Tits, you cannot be serious right now,” came MJF’s response.
Some accuse MJF of resorting to cheap edgelord heat - but he was one of the sharpest minds of 2020. He worked around the limitations better than most. Having already been clever enough to establish a dialogue with other characters beyond his in-ring rivals, he was able to maintain his heel persona with no fans in the building to boo him. As he beat up Marko Stunt, he shouted towards the commentary table: “Hey Schiavone, you fat prick: tell Jungle Boy this is what’s coming to him at Double Or Nothing!”
MJF also “addressed” Brian Pillman by lowering his head towards the canvas; told Bryan Danielson that his mentor William Regal was “drug-addicted” and “worthless”; and threatened to “strap Wardlow to a cross just like Jesus”.
When people asked for 2010s WWE promos not to be so lame, MJF is what they had in mind.
