MJF has been considered one of the defining heels of the current generation of pro wrestlers and it is not hard to see why. MJF became a huge star in AEW in a short time and has far exceeded expectations.
On last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, William Regal and MJF engaged in a promo battle where fans hung onto each and every word. It revealed how Regal ultimately crushed MJF when he was trying to join WWE.
While speaking on the “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, former WCW star Disco Inferno criticized MJF and William Regal’s promo for having no money in their storyline.
“It was very good delivery by MJF, but like this is my only criticism, there’s no money in this story. Like okay he told the story but where’s the fight here? I mean everybody’s talking about like MJF’s turning babyface and everything but—and this was kind of a babyface promo, but I’m like ‘okay you’re telling the story of like [William] Regal, send me an e-mail, you didn’t hire me when I was 19 and stuff’ like I don’t know.”
MJF is set to challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title at AEW Full Gear in November. We will have to wait and see whether MJF will end up winning the title or not.
