For context Booker T, in his “Hall of Fame” podcast, said,
“That right there (Flair and MJF teaming up) is pretty good because MJF, he is the modern-day Ric Flair. He really is. Sting-Darby Allin – how much of a parallel are those two? It’s like looking in the mirror. So, c’mon, tell me that doesn’t work? Just think about it, for one second, MJF and Ric Flair both donning the gold robes.” (H/t Sportskeeda)
MJF replied on Twitter and declared himself incomparable by the end of his career. The tweet raised a few eyebrows from the fans as well as other wrestlers.
I am a student of the game. I get compared to a lot of the all time greats in the history of the sport.
Flair is impeccable, but with all due respect,
I’m Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
And by the time I hang up my boots, you’ll all realize…I’m incomparable. #Betterthanyou https://t.co/jDGfRT1kmg

MJF has been crucial in AEW moving forwards. His inputs in the company, along with others, have presented All Elite Wrestling as a legitimate threat to WWE. This is the first time since the ‘Monday Night War’ with WCW that another wrestling company has posed competition for them.

The fans love MJF even though he is a heel and wrestling critics have applauded his in ring and promo ability as well. His work as the top guy of The Pinnacle is nothing short of brilliant and more is yet to come.
