AEW Superstar MJF Credits This WWE Legend for Making Him Fall in Love With Wrestling

AEW pro-wrestler MJF is doing rather well for himself. He has been well-pressured by the AEW fans, and undoubtedly, he is rising to the top!

However, behind every great athlete is an inspiration who has a huge influence. This is the same for MJF, and while talking Inside The Ropes, he revealed his inspiration.

“Roddy Piper. Before me, I’m going to say the only person who would equal the ability to get a visceral reaction from the crowd was Piper. Piper made me fall in love with wrestling.”

“And if I was able to have an opportunity to have promos back and forth with Roddy, and then a match that I know would be vicious as all hell. I think that would probably go down as the greatest match in the history of professional wrestling.” H/t Inside The Ropes

Apart from Roddy Piper, MJF named the likes of Chris Jericho, Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair, and others as his favourite wrestlers.

Keeping the matches aside, the factions have cut thriller segments taking shots at each other. The battle of factions worked out quite well for AEW since several individuals responded to the same and the company earned significant ratings as well.

The feud set the tone during the first battle where Jericho and his rival took the match to the steel cage’s roof. When that happened, the other members of The Inner Circle surrendered to MJF, hoping he would let go off Jericho. However, he accepted their surrender and yet dropped him from the cage’s roof.
