Former WWE creative team writer Freddie Prinze Jr. has had plenty of praise for AEW’s MJF, branding him the G.O.A.T of Tony Khan’s promotion.
MJF’s heel antics and refusal to break character have earned him the admiration of fans and wrestlers alike, with the Salt of the Earth considered a pillar of the company.
On the latest edition of his ‘Wrestling with Freddie‘ podcast, the actor/writer spoke about MJF being “so money.”
“I love this kid so much. I just feel like even when things get screwed up, it’s okay. The seas there are stormy, man. He had a whole storyline with CM Punk ready to go, eight months out injured, don’t worry, I got this, and boom, he kills it three weeks in a row.”
When Prinze’s co-host Jeff Dye questioned if MJF is the G.O.A.T of AEW, Freddie agreed with the idea.
“The GOAT of AEW, this dude is so good that they sent out an entire faction, The Firm — I think it was like six different dudes — and that’s basically [AEW owner] Tony Khan saying, ‘Please get these guys over too.'”
MJF has a guaranteed AEW World Championship match as the result of winning the Casino Ladder Match at AEW All Out 2022.
