While MJF previously worked for Major League Wrestling prior to signing with All Elite Wrestling, MLW President Court Bauer says he always knew the “Salt of the Earth” was going to become a huge star.
During a recent appearance on the “The Masked Man Show,” Bauer gave his thoughts on MJF and how the latter always took the time to learn the backstage aspects of the business.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On knowing right away that MJF would become a star: “His instincts, some people are born with it, and he also just had it. You can’t teach it. You can’t mimic it. Some guys do with their weird gestures and stuff. This guy just had it.”
On MJF taking the time to learn backstage aspects of the business: “He was always asking questions. He would sit next to me in Gorilla some TV tapings. He wanted to learn how I was operating and running a show. So, what I saw very early on is this guy has the gift of gab, he’s mechanically really good, he’s a natural athlete, played sports in high school, was a showman, grew up in the show business, he checked all the right boxes. I see a guy like that very rarely.”
On MJF’s backstage potential: “I think one day he’s gonna be a phenomenal booker or member of a creative team, whatever it is at that point in time, because he’s got a great mind.”
