Pro wrestling involves many interesting characters, but sometimes the real people behind those larger than life personas are vastly different from who they portray on television. It appears that AJ Francis is in the camp.
A lot of pro wrestlers make bold claims about themselves, as it comes with the territory. AJ Francis recently turned heads when he took credit for being the biggest heel in professional wrestling. That also stirred up quite a bit of conversation.
While speaking to TMZ, AJ Francis boldly stated, “I’m the best heel in TNA. I’m honestly the best heel in the business. If you don’t believe me, debate your barber. Don’t debate me. I know for a fact that there’s not a bigger heel in this business that gets a bigger reaction as a heel than me. Nobody even wants to be a heel anymore. With the year that I’ve had at TNA, between making Joe Hendry a star, feuding with The Hardys, stealing the show with PCO at Slammiversary. I mean, it’s time for me to get a World Title shot.”
AJ Francis dropped a video on X where he proclaimed that he is the “biggest babyface in real life,” despite being the biggest heel in pro wrestling. To make his point, he showed off the fact that he was driving in a vehicle that was packed with food that was collected for homeless children thanks to his 8th annual canned food drive.
“See, a lot of you guys in the pro wrestling business, you talk a big game. You say you’re listening, but I prove it. I was a millionaire before I took my first bump. Even while giving back, you can’t touch me. Where’s your initiative? Where’s your canned food drive? Where’s your coat drive? Where’s your back to school drive? Where’s your trunk-or-treat? Where’s your celebrity basketball game raising money for the homeless kids? Where’s yours? Y’all don’t do it, cause y’all ain’t got it.”
Even while doing good for charity, AJ Francis was able to generate heat for clout. That defines a modern day pro wrestling heal if we ever heard one. It’s easy to see that he’s doing big things, and he’s not afraid to let people know about it.
We will have to see what AJ Francis gets into next, but odds are he will continue to make everyone very much aware of what he’s doing. You can check out his video below to see the recent load he captured from his canned food drive as proof.
