AEW Pro-Wrestler MJF is doing really well with the company. However, he wants the world to know if he worked in any other company, he would be just as good.
Recently, Booker T revealed that MJF would be a great fit at WWE. To this, The Salt of the Earth responded by claiming that it doesn’t matter where he is, he would be a perfect fit because he is perfect.
This response is extremely aligned with MJF’s character. He often makes use of social media to praise himself. Recently, he was asked about a particular wrestling moment he wants to achieve before retiring.

To this, he responded by saying he wants to become a better wrestler than everyone’s favourite wrestler. Moreover, he added that he is better than past wrestlers, and there’s no comparison.
I’m a better wrestler than everyone’s favs.
But since I’m an incredible talker and “arrogant”, people assume I can’t wrestle due to the fact professional wrestlers in the past that could speak were far from being the total package such as myself. https://t.co/I5eF801hmH
