AEW star MJF has called a WWE Hall of Famer “a hack”.
Since his return to All Elite Wrestling at All Out 2022, Maxwell Jacob Friedman has made it clear that he thinks he is the best wrestler in the world today.
MJF has been gaining louder cheers from the crowd, which all started with the first time AEW visited his hometown of Long Island.
With current stars like Max Caster and Matt Cardona as well as legends like Mick Foley, Long Island has become a hotbed for pro wrestling talent.
In a new interview with Newsday, Friedman was asked to give a Mount Rushmore of pro wrestlers from Long Island.
MJF used the opportunity to take a dig at WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.
He said:
“The Mount Rushmore of Long Islanders who are professional wrestlers, I just think is me four times.”
“I think Mick Foley is a hack, and it’s really upsetting that I never got to wrestle him — not because it would be a dream come true for me, but just because I really want to punch him in the face and knock him out with my Dynamite diamond ring, and prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I’m the greatest Long Island wrestler that’s ever lived.”
MJF will look to add his name to great Long Islanders who won world championship gold in wrestling at this Saturday’s Full Gear event when he faces Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship.
