MJF: When My Career Is Over, Everyone In The Universe Will Say I’m Top Five On The Mic

MJF gives his top five. 

MJF is often heralded for his microphone skills when many considering him the best on the microphone in today’s landscape of professional wrestling. 

Ahead of AEW Full Gear, MJF visited Dr. Beau Hightower and was asked for his top five all-time on the mic. 

“I don’t give a fuck. Me. I don’t give a fuck. When my career is over, I think everyone in the universe is going to say that. People are already saying it. Cena [John Cena]. Rock [The Rock]. Punk [CM Punk], when he’s on his A game. The interesting thing with Stone Cold [Steve Austin] is that Stone Cold was the best at making you feel everything he said. I’m going to throw a curveball in here. I’m going to go with Jake Roberts. For the simple reason that, there is nobody ever in the history of professional wrestling that was able to cut a specific type of promo that Jake cut. Jake would speak so softly that you had no choice but to listen. I would swap in Stone Cold and Jake back and forth, depending on my mood. Those are my five,” he said. 

When Hightower said that he expected MJF to name himself five times, MJF replied, “Is that my honest to God, in heart of hearts, answer? Of course, but I’m trying to be humble. I’m trying to be salt of the earth.”
