One of the top stars in AEW is the former AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF. He holds the record for being the longest-reigning AEW World champion. The Salt of the Earth also challenged Hangman Adam Page for the top prize in All Elite Wrestling at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
Recently, MJF was interviewed by Vice. During the interview, the former AEW World Champion reflected on being the longest-reigning AEW Champion. He also appreciated some of the top stars in the Jacksonville-based promotion for helping make the product very exciting.
“Look to me, I think the reason why All Elite Wrestling is so exciting right now. While it’s predominantly me if we’re being honest, besides the fact that my back hurts from carrying it, you got me, you got the cowboy, you got Swerve [Strickland], you got [Will] Ospreay, you got Kenny [Omega], you got [Jon] Moxley, and Kyle Fletcher. There’s an insane hodgepodge of present-day, all-time generational talents.”
The Salt of the Earth also shared what it means for him to be back in the hunt for the top prize in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
“And the product’s never been hotter. I think it’s never been hotter because it’s never been more competitive, more young, more fresh. I think that — how does it feel? It feels right to me. I feel like this is the reason God put me on this earth. It was to prove that I’m the greatest wrestler on God’s green earth and what better place to do it than the place where the best wrestle?” MJF said.
MJF put up a tough fight against Hangman Adam Page for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view. But sadly, Friedman could not get the job done, and the ‘Cowboy’ managed to retain his title.
Do you think MJF was the ‘greatest AEW World Champion?
