MJF might be a wrestling superstar, but his mouth continues to be his most dangerous weapon. During his appearance at Starrcast, the AEW villain didn’t just go full heel—he crossed a line that left even the most jaded fans stunned.

While discussing his All In 2024 action figure, MJF explained the gear’s inspiration by saying, “The gear was inspired by both Apollo Creed and Lex Luger.” That comment drew applause from fans, but MJF instantly cut the cheers short with a brutal insult aimed at Luger’s real-life health condition. “Guys… why are you clapping for him? He can’t even walk,” MJF sneered.

The insult didn’t go unanswered. A woman in the crowd clearly took offense to his remark, but MJF responded by doubling down in true Salt of the Earth fashion. “I’m talking, you stupid b***,”* he snapped—setting off gasps and loud reactions across the venue.

It’s nothing new for MJF to push the limits of what fans will accept, but mocking Lex Luger’s paralysis and then attacking a fan crossed into uncomfortable territory for many. Still, there are others who argue this is exactly what makes MJF such an effective heel: he’s not afraid to make people mad—even for real.

With MJF’s name now linked to yet another controversial moment, the only question is whether Lex Luger will respond—or if this becomes just another chapter in MJF’s long history of savage promos.
