Wrestling legend Konnan expressed his belief that MJF hasn’t done anything entertaining in a year.
Former WCW star Konnan recently shared his thoughts on the January 29 episode of Dynamite on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, where he revealed that Maxwell Jacob Friedman has not entertained him in over a year.
“MJF, bro, I mean he hasn’t done anything entertaining to me, besides his promos, in like, about a year. It’s hard for me to get into him and Jeff [Jarrett], and even more hard for me to get into him and Jeff when it looks like he might be doing something with [Hangman] Adam Page because you saw what happened backstage.”
Friedman has recently found himself in verbal exchanges with Jeff Jarrett, who previously expressed his desire to win the AEW World Championship in what he has called his final year as an active wrestler. However, Jarrett’s title hopes took a hit when he lost to Claudio Castagnoli in a match that Konnan reviewed. Meanwhile, MJF has also had brief but ongoing interactions with Hangman Page, hinting that a feud between the two may be the company’s direction moving forward.
Despite his criticism, Konnan does see a bright future for Freidman outside of wrestling. The former WCW star recently praised his potential as an actor, naming him as one of the few All Elite Wrestling stars who could transition to Hollywood. However, Konnan noted that his success in acting may largely depend on his role in the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2, starring Adam Sandler.
Which Wrestler Said That MJF Is The Only WWE-Level Member Of The AEW Roster?
Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins spoke about a possible talent trade with AEW and said that nobody on their roster is WWE level in terms of quality, except for Friedman and said he is the only viable option when looking at a talent transfer between the two companies.
