WWE Legend Sees Himself in MJF: “It’s the Truth”

AEW superstar MJF has turned many heads ever since he started with the company. The Long Island native has become a talking point of Tony Khan’s promotion. MJF is currently feuding with former WWE champion CM Punk, where for weeks he has dissed the performer, and his home crowd Chicago.

Ever since MJF joined the company, many critics and former wrestlers have shared their views of him. Recently, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has also shared his views of MJF. Flair confessed that he sees a version of himself in the AEW superstar. And quite frankly, now that he has put it this way, the similarities between the two can be seen.

Ric Flair sees himself in MJF

The 16 times World Champion recently revealed on his podcast, ‘The Wooooo Nation‘ that instead of ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, he sees himself in MJF.

The Nature Boy further explained why he thinks that MJF is not like Roddy Piper. Flair confessed that Roddy never talked lavishly about his clothes or jewelry, which is something Flair did in his career.

He further explained himself by saying that MJF proudly presents his dresses and disses the people who do not have them.

“Roddy was just boom boom boom boom, I don’t see much Roddy in him, I see more me than Roddy. I’m not taking anything away from Roddy. You asked me who I see more of in him. Roddy didn’t brag about his clothes and stuff like that.”

“This kid is, which makes him different. He’s talking about material things or he implies that he has the material things that other people don’t. That really p****s people off, especially when it’s the truth,” he said.

‘The Salt of the Earth’ certainly has the in-ring ability to back it up. MJF has also turned out to be one of the best heels of modern times across all the wrestling promotions.

Recently, it was reported that even WWE is eyeing an opportunity to grab a deal with the AEW superstar and bring him to the company.

His current feud with ‘The Best in the World’ CM Punk has generated a lot of buzz in the wrestling industry. Who do you think will emerge victoriously? CM Punk or MJF? Let us know!
