Current All Elite Wrestling star MJF has high praise for the new head of WWE creative, The Game Triple H.
Ahead of AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, MJF was a guest on Rasslin’ to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about the fact that Triple H is currently running WWE, Friedman put him over and mentioned the fact that they both have large noses.
“Great guy,” MJF said. “Yeah, as honestly, I have a very large nose as well, and I think it has something to do with the amount of talent you have in the wrestling business.”
When it was brought up that The Rock didn’t have a big nose, MJF had a quick response for that.
“That was the problem,” MJF retorted. “That’s why he had to get out early, pursue the acting thing.”
When asked about The Nature Boy Ric Flair, MJF reaffirmed that the two-time WWE Hall of Famer has a huge nose.
“Flair’s got a f*cking honker on him,” MJF said.
When asked about The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, MJF revealed before he had his nose broken, his was rather large as well.
“So before it got broken, decent sized nose,” MJF said. “Yea, look it up. Pretty solidly big nose.”
MJF was asked who the greatest wrestler of all time was beside himself, and he named both Rowdy Roddy Piper and Triple H.
“Before me? Hmm…let’s see. That’s a tough question,” MJF said. “If you want to go for overall package and not just being this phenom of a star to me it’s [Rowdy Roddy] Piper. But if you want to go in-ring, I think Triple H is up there, man. I really do. And I don’t think he gets enough credit. Because guys like Austin and Rock, of course, they were very good. But you need to put them in there with somebody who is great.”
Later on, when talking about John Cena, MJF revealed he met Cena once, and it was when he was doing extra work for WWE and was painted up like The Demon Finn Balor.
“I met him one time,” MJF revealed. “It was back in the day. I was 18 I was doing extra work for WWE. And they wanted to paint me up like Finn Balor because they were trying to figure out what his paint should look like for the show. So they painted me up, they took a photo of me. Finn Balor comes into the room. He was like, ‘Yeah, this is good.’ And I was like, ‘This is wild.’
“What a wild concept interaction like, couldn’t you guys have just did like a mock drawing like I’m a cartoon? I was quite literally the paint dummy for Finn Balor. Now I’d imagine I probably make a lot more money than him, but it’s fine. It’s not important; Finn’s a great guy.
“So I leave the room, and I wash off as much of it as I can. But obviously, I’m doing extra work. So I showed up in a suit, so only the thing I was wearing was dress pants and dress shoes. And then my upper — I’m not wearing anything, and it’s just smudge paint underneath. Basically, I looked like Darby Allin, and you never want to look like Darby Allin. EVER! So obviously, Cena looked at me, and he was like, ‘Interesting choice of clothes.’ And I said, ‘Thank you, John.’ And I walked away. And that was our interaction.”
