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.
Ngl MJF is my favourite wrestler along CM Punk and Eddie Kingston during this year, honestly they can make any angle and interview stay interesting for as long as they have a mic with them
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
A promo with MJF vs any of those guys would be epic. Him and Cena slaying each other off the top of the dome would be worth the price of admission alone.
I'm only 14 minutes in but the fact that I can't figure out which bits are kayfabe and which are MJF talking from his heart is a testament to his ability as a professional wrestler. I love pro wrestling and I love when a performer can keep me engrossed because this is why we watch it. Thanks Ariel for all the amazing content you've provided recently, in particular this interview and the HHH one. MJF, bastard as always but he's our bastard, thank you sir for this
A decade. Lol nothings been happening for the past 20 years. Even roman was lame. Glad I got out when Cena came along and ruined everything. And I was a Cena fan.
This new fan base are droolers. Guy almost breaks character holding back his smile when he tries to convince himself of what he is saying. So cringe. Like a child copying a movie scene and trying not to laugh.
His line on Wednesday that we would give our wifes to him and the only reason he doesnt use them is because he has standards was an absolute masterpiece of a line. Loved it.
This dude just put over AEW, MLW, WWE, Sheamus, Mox and pretty much everything and everyone he shouldn't without skipping a beat in his own gimmick. Just wow! Masterful performance
The best part of this interview was Max talking about Tony having his back against the wall. His love for the promotion is heartwarming, regardless of what MJF says to do with deals and money.
"You Called Tony Khan a f***ing mark" "At the time... At the time it felt warranted" 🤣 "So what was the state of the relationship?" "Not Good, now its great!" "What changed?" "Money" 🤣 Great stuff
I’m a WWE mark but MJF is absolutely right! Ever since he’s come back, AEW has been constantly hitting 1 mil viewers. No CM Punk, no Young Bucks, no Kenny. MJF backs up everything he says 👏🏽
Danielson and Jericho have had some good matches, MJF segments are great, the acclaimed, Moxley has been consistently doing Moxley stuff which some people apparently like, etc. the show has gotten a bit better.
This is what professional wrestling is, the way this guy can blend reality and keyfabe effortlessly is how this sport works. Seriously the biggest star in wrestling right now and easily has potential to be in the top 5 wrestlers of all time by the end of his career.
It’s because ariel is nice and that’s his interview style…. Otherwise he would act different. Also they’re both Jewish and Ariel loves supporting his fellow Jews which is fair
I absolutely love MJF and his incredible mic promos. He's quite possibly the greatest modern day heel in pro wrestling today. I'm a huge fan of his work after his feud with CM Punk.
MJF is such a standup guy. He should get that big paycheck. He so deserves it. Best comeback ever. Congrats to MJF and Naomi for getting engaged. Much happiness for the both of them. Best heel in all of professional wrestling
@@tonyh1718 lmfao I guarantee college helped more than anything. Now that I think of it, mjf looks and acts like half the frat dudes at my school just a smarter version 😂😂😂
"I don't like MMA because it's fixed and phoney but the reason I like professional wrestling it's because it's straight foward , directly to the point and it's as real as it gets." - MJF, the GOAT
MJF is a guy who till this date has kept himself so Mysterious that you can't even recognise whether he's in character or is he like that in real. Truly a genius 🔥 MJF as AEW World champion is what we need
Woah, slow down speed racer! Modernized Ric Flair?? I disagree. He's Flair adjaced but Flair didn't seem to be trying. You can tell MJF is trying to get a point across. Flair was just Flair, you can tell that was just him.
That's like comparing a school play to an Oscar winner. Wrestling fans really struggle with delusion. "This current thing is like when wrestling wasn't a complete joke!!!"
I’m not a huge aew guy but MJF is so amazingly entertaining. I watch when I can if I’m off work here and there but dude is such a stand out in the company as a character
He was exactly that for me. His absence was... noticeable to say the least lol. Ricky Starks could be great if they actually give him a serious push, and Christian Cage was entertaining while it lasted.
I love how much of a straight shooter he is. "All I care about is the money." Lol "Women faint, I see men reaching into the pockets of their jeans, it's a little uncomfortable." "I went to two different schools, which is why I'm twice as smart." "Right." This guy is too much, lmao.
@@Sasquatch10 Facts, but I think a lot of them will boo him in support because he's a guy you love to hate. Huge fan of his work, he truly is the future of the wrestling business. And he's not even close to his prime yet.
Maxwell is very well-spoken, articulate and composed each in every time he delivers a statement. This got to be the most joyous 45 minutes of an interview.
I think MJF is talking about Raiders Tight End Darren Waller. He got a deal prior and then had a really good year and wasn’t paid according to his recent production as one of the top players at his position. So they had to give him more money
It is so refreshing to watch a professional wrestler on an interview that's not on a wrestling show Just be who he is on a wrestling show. Basically it's nice to watch a professional wrestler stay in character and make me wonder which bits were real and which bits were just him keeping up KAYFABE. This is brilliant. MJF is brilliant and we need more professional wrestlers like him.
I don’t normally watch a entire interview, as a matter a fact this was really the first one. MJF just captivates you with his no bs attitude in character or as himself. I see why people have a love/hate relationship with his character. He’s prob the best thing to hit the Wrestling market since the Rock on the Mic.
This whole interview should be shown in wrestling schools world wide, how to stay within kayfabe, side step what you need to side step, put people and whole companies over and put yourself over all of those things. An MJF masterclass
The effortless way he slips in-between his character and himself is next-level. And proof that the best characters are just themselves with the could turned up.
It is so refreshing to see an actual PROFESSIONAL wrestler. He actually corrected Ariel and cut him off when he used backstage terms, and he never broke character once. If there were more people like him in the business, it could actually become popular again.
Im pretty sure wrestling worldwide is doing just fine without MJFs influence. Im not sure youve checked the scene but its piping hot and no signs of stopping it tbh
The most lovable villain of a generation and SOON to be youngest world champ in AEW history 💍 👑 and respect to him showing love to Stokley and Page, The Firm is a dope concept and Stokley hit that promo of them out of the park
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.
He really is a breath of fresh air to the professional wrestling business! I really love how he’s always on and doesn’t let you see behind the curtain!
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
MJF is smart by staying out of the CM Punk controversy he said it doesn't apply to me MJF can wrestle but he speaks on things from an honest perspective and he does it in character as well that is impressive
I could definitely listen to MJF's soothing voice all day he is just so smart and so articulate it's amazing to hear him speak he definitely should be in WWE💪👊☺
Mjf is such a treasure. Everyone always try’s to compare him to some other wrestler from the past. Those guys can’t hold a candle to this man’s mic skills and talent.
MJF is a Legend in the making and he’s not even in his prime yet, and that’s the scary part. Tony better do right by dude cause if WWE gets him…man that’s something that can really hurt AEW.
MJF best promo man , Next AEW Champion, Next WWE Champion . Stays in character not many have that gift nowadays. I’d literally get circumcised again to be insulted by this guy
I’ve been watching wrestling since 2004, my first night was the night Randy Orton was betrayed by evolution. MJF is by far the biggest star I’ve seen in 18 years at only 26 years old. I’m only 27, but you call a spade a spade. Iconic.
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.
This video just played for me randomly and within the first 10 seconds it made me really miss MJF. Can’t wait for him to be back with wrestling, whichever promotion he ends up at.
best part for me was "you seem like a loyal guy" and watching mjf's face almost crack and freeze before settling on a smile of disbelief with "sure :)))"
MJF is the best Professional Wrestler today and he's done it with the most minimal in ring presence of anyone. Literally no flips and all money. Work rate is foolish. He's one the smartest people in the business.
MJF is great, the way he manages to maintain kayfabe while giving intelligent answers and putting over not only himself but also the show and the promotion. Tony really should treat him as the face of the company like Vince has done with Cena and Reigns.
Mjf has really impressed me in this interview over his knowledge of current and prior wrestling promotions. Being a student of the game is very prevalent from this interview.
Mjf is the biggest star in wrestling in a long time what makes this man so great is that throughout his entire career he has stayed in character the whole time and shows that kayfabe can exist in a modern era of wrestling I don't mind that wrestlers don't do that today but guys like Mjf are special
For real, this dude is saving aew. A 25 year old kid is literally saving the second largest wrestling company in the world, segment by segment, interview by interview. It is absolutely no coincidence he's handing out all these interviews everywhere right now.
MJF really is this young and has the knowledge of pro wrestling podcasters that have been in the business forever He said like "Cody left, wrestlers should feel bad, no they should feel like an opportunity to step up appeared"
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.
Hopefully he doesn’t become ric flair and ends up living his gimmick.
Who else did the same. GO
Ngl MJF is my favourite wrestler along CM Punk and Eddie Kingston during this year, honestly they can make any angle and interview stay interesting for as long as they have a mic with them
Its not a charachter to him. And for most all time wrestlers, their gimmicks are their real life personalities. Guys like hbk bret triple h etc
A lot of people can portray jerks, but few people can be jerks while also putting over their company and fellow talent so damn well.
MJF has perfected the role that made alright wrestlers into Mega Stars. His character is based off his actual self, but at times magnified.

Quickest 48 minutes of my life, he’s so good at articulating himself even when it comes to the serious talk
Yeah, it felt like a 25 min video. Went by fast. Glad I watched, and I hope Helwani gets more top guys on that will be just as open.
I see no lies. The man is a damn good talker and comes across as extremely genuine even when he isn't.

Omg dude he’s literally only been around 3 years calm down time will tell
For real, this dude is saving aew. A 25 year old kid is literally saving the second largest wrestling company in the world, segment by segment, interview by interview. It is absolutely no coincidence he's handing out all these interviews everywhere right now.
The "first class rocket" line had me dying
MJF really is this young and has the knowledge of pro wrestling podcasters that have been in the business forever
He said like "Cody left, wrestlers should feel bad, no they should feel like an opportunity to step up appeared"
