8 NASTIEST Trash Talkers In Wrestling History
6. MJF
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, AEW golden boy MJF revealed that he takes notes about everybody, so that if he's ever faced with them he knows how to go straight for the jugular. Do you know how vindictive you have to be to have a "...just in case" profile for everybody on your roster?! That is what makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman one of the most compelling characters in the world today.
Wrestling struggles to shock in any regard these days, but MJF's famous Dynamite promo in Los Angeles aimed at Tony Khan was unforgettable. In a world full of characters trying to show how anti-authority they are, taking a hot microphone and saying: "Fire me, you f***ing mark" to your boss on live television is the real deal. Lesser performers would have been granted their wish, but this moment only made MJF's reputation grow.
Whenever MJF is faced with anybody, the gloves are instantly off.
His encyclopaedic knowledge of professional wrestling enables him to pull any skeleton out of the closet at a moment's notice. Calling Brian Pillman Jr's mother "meth-anie", cussing out Lex Luger being in a wheelchair to Sting, poking at William Regal's past drug problems, calling Darby Allin "a school shooter", and mimicking Cody Rhodes' speech impediment. Nothing is off limits with MJF.
Not only that, he doesn't ever stop his meanness. Go online, and you'll find a myriad of clips of him insulting children at conventions. In lesser hands, it wouldn't land, but MJF is better than you (and you know it).
