Brian “Road Dogg” James is notorious for doing a special segment on his “Oh You Didn’t Know” podcast in which he compares himself to wrestlers of the past and present.
While Road Dogg does praise them justifiably, his remarks usually appear to be tongue-in-cheek.
This time Road Dogg is making headlines by claiming that he is a better sports entertainer than former AEW World Champion MJF. He said,
“The fact that I’ve taken this long should make everybody mad. Are they pissed, you think, by now? I don’t know, dude, he’s great. He’s a really great promo. He’s not a great wrestler, in my mind, but I wasn’t even a good one, so I don’t compare that to. Let me just give this to you plain and simple. The Road Dogg is a better sports entertainer than MJF. That is no disrespect to MJF, I’ve met the individual, very respectful young man, very smart young man. Smart in the way he eats, the way he trains, surpasses me in everything, but I wanted to make the one line that everybody will read very clear; I’m a better sports entertainer than MJF. I get it. Then, I’ll trend. Thank you guys for that. If they listen to the whole thing, as a human being, I think the dude is a good dude. Spent some time with him at a…sat with him and Billy [Billy Gunn] while we watched Grado work at the convention we were at, and had a blast. Great guy. Great at what we do. Would be tremendous in WWE. Never say never. I hope I get the opportunity to work with him. Again, let me make it very simple for you guys; I’m a better sports entertainer than MJF.”
MJF lost the AEW World Title to Samoa Joe this past weekend at AEW Worlds End 2023.
