MJF Compared To Ric Flair In Huge Way

MJF considers himself generational talent, and it is not difficult to see why, seeing how much he has already accomplished at the age of 26. MJF is a student of the game and has been compared to many legends. This includes even Ric Flair by the looks of it.

MJF is devoted to his craft, and he never breaks character no matter what. This has led to comparisons with many legendary pro wrestlers, including Roddy Piper.

While speaking with Wrestling Inc., Diamond Dallas Page talked about MJF’s career in pro wrestling so far. DDP stated that MJF is like Ric Flair in the sense that MJF prefers being a heel like The Nature Boy.

Like Ric Flair, people love to hate him. I mean, because nobody did it better than Flair. But I’ll tell you what, this kid can cut a promo as good as anyone ever. And what I tried to do with him was explain to him the dos and don’ts, because I took him under my wing to a certain degree, because I loved being around him, thought he was a great kid, and I knew he had a lot of potential,

MJF retained his AEW World Championship on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, after hitting a low blow on Ricky Starks to pick up the win. It remains to be seen how MJF will be booked as the AEW World Champion in the coming weeks.
