MJF is a true student of the game when it comes to professional wrestling.
All Elite Wrestling‘s MJF recently featured on Dr. Beau Hightower’s YouTube channel. When it was mentioned that MJF was a true student of the game, Friedman agreed with that and said what he believes is the biggest problem with pro wrestling today.
“I think the biggest issue with professional wrestling now, and I’ve stated it multiple times, is people are so overly consumed with what’s going on bell the bell, at least the hardcore audiences,” MJF said. “But the fact of the matter is Twitter, for example, makes up such a small percentage of the audience.

“So, for example, The Acclaimed is one of the biggest, hottest acts that we have. They drop huge merch 24/7 all the time. If you go on Twitter, a couple months ago, The Acclaimed’s the best tag team in the world, The Acclaimed’s this, The Acclaimed’s that. If you go on Twitter now, let’s say for a hypothetical, man, I don’t get The Acclaimed; I wish they’d have more bangers.
“Again, people that are watching at home don’t give a fuck. Like normal human beings don’t give a fuck. They’re invested in the human beings that are in the ring. They’re not necessarily invested in the moves that are happening inside of the square circle.”
