    Mjf is so well spoken and can merge his "character" effortlessly with his real personality that he can basically stay in character forever if he wants to. That's actually high class method acting. He has a bright future in the business.

    MJF has perfected the role that made alright wrestlers into Mega Stars. His character is based off his actual self, but at times magnified. This is what Stone Cold and The Rock, even John Cena could pull off that made them into legends they are right now. At 26 as well, my god MJF is truly very dedicated and is one of a kind

I love pro wrestling and I love when a performer can keep me engrossed because this is why we watch it.

    MJF is one of the best young talkers in the game if not the best. Great interview! I found out things about MJF I did not know. He understands the business and he's a student of the game.

    You honestly can't hate MJF. He won't break the heel deal and it works, BUT you can tell how much passion he has for wrestling and that is always good to see. Sure you can boo the "heel" MJF but gotta respect the man

    Interesting that multiple times in this interview MJF basically brags about how many other wrestlers he learned things from by watching videos of them or working together in other promotions. It’s a badge of honor for MJF but Adam Page says he doesn’t take advice. Let’s see which one gets further in the next few years.
