MJF has established himself as one of the best heels in the modern-day pro wrestling world. It took him barely any time to cement himself as one of the top stars in AEW. It seems he compared himself to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
The Salt of the Earth is dedicated to his character as he never breaks kayfabe, inside or outside the squared circle. His dedication to his credit has won him over with fans who simply love to hate him.
While speaking with News 12, MJF said that after he wins the Dynamite Diamond Ring for the third time, he will definitely be on the same level as NBA legend Michael Jordan.
“The fact that it fell into the cards, the fact that it simply happened like this, you can feel the magic in the air Dan and Curt, you can feel it, it is just palpable. It is on the tip of my tongue and I could not have asked for a better match up in my hometown.
I will single-handedly decimate 11 other wrestlersand then will move on to a singles match the following week to then become a three time Dynamite Diamond Ring champion. There are only a handful of professional athletes who can claim to have won the big kahuna three years in a row. I will now be among people like Michael Jordan which to me, it fits like a glove.”
MJF also recently said that he is an attraction like Andre The Giant. Bully Ray also believes that MJF could verbally eviscerate CM Punk. We will have to wait and see how AEW will book CM Punk and MJF’s feud in the coming weeks as it continues to intensify every week.
