MJF is one of the hardest working talents in the industry.
The AEW World Champion may play a character that does not want to work every week, but he still does and puts on a great showing anytime he appears on AEW television. Max’s devotion to keeping kayfabe alive along with being an excellent generator of heel heat.
Speaking on VIBE 105 Sports, Shawn Spears praised MJF as a performer.
“He’s exactly that, he’s a performer. He understands this industry, grasps onto things a lot faster than most, and he has been in the ring or under the wing of a lot of our industry’s top talent. I believe it was Cody who brought him in, Cody Rhodes brought him to AEW way back when, so you’re under the wing of arguably the biggest star on the planet today,” said Spears of Maxwell Jacob Friedman. “You go from there to Chris Jericho. Then blood feuds with guys like CM Punk and going an hour with Bryan Danielson, you’re getting a top-notch, first-class, crash course in how to be a megastar. He has received it well, he’s understood it well, he continues to try to improve week to week. I know Max very well, both in front of the scenes and behind the scenes. I’m pretty confident in saying that, even though he’s the World Champion, it’s not enough. He won’t rely on just being the World Champion. He’s going to aim high and go bigger. That’s just how he’s molded and operates. I dare say, I wish a lot of people across the board, talent-wise, would work that hard.”
