My Take
MJF fascinates me because he understands a truth many performers forget: a great villain can carry a show better than any hero. This New York native built his fame on a microphone, antagonizing crowds so skillfully that he became impossible to ignore. Becoming a three-time AEW World Champion while still in his twenties tells me his heel work is real craftsmanship, not just attitude. I respect performers who make audiences feel something genuine, even loathing, and he does it night after night. The most compelling kind of bad guy is one you secretly cannot wait to see, and that is him.
