MJF Says He’s Better Than WWE Hall Of Famer

MJF says he’s already better than one of the all-time greats.

On the July 17th episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF got the better of Will Ospreay in a 59-minute, 58-second thriller. Although the victory came via not entirely legal means, it meant the star left Little Rock, Arkansas with the International Title.

After the match, Ric Flair was full of praise for Mr. Friedman on social media, congratulating him on his win and sharing a side-by-side photo of the pair.

In a new interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, MJF responded to the comparison as only he can.

“There’s a reason that after my match, Ric Flair posted a side-by-side comparison photo. I’m Ric Flair incarnated–and with all due respect to Ric, better.”

MJF Claims AEW Is Boring Without Him

MJF went on to claim he’s been carrying his home company since making his debut, adding there are more people talking about it than there have been for months.

“I’ve been carrying this company for five years on my back,

People need MJF. It’s that simple. This company needs MJF. Fortunately, they’ve got me. What’s this company without MJF? It’s boring. This is the most people have talked about my company in months. Thank me later. If you’re not going to give me my just due now, you’ll have to when it’s all said and done.”

Meanwhile, it’s been announced that MJF will make his CMLL debut on August 2nd at an event at the famous Arena Mexico.
