During his recent interview with Hollywood Life, ALL Elite Wrestling star Maxwell Jacob Friedman ran down "ex-WWE talents," in an effort to put himself over. MJF also explained how wrrstling fans can be as "good" as he is, and more. Check out the highlights below.
On the reason why wrestling fans should "thank" him:
“I think it is very clear that I have changed professional wrestling because before I got involved in professional wrestling, there was only one show in town. And now, due to my talents and me being an incredibly intriguing attribute, my company –look, people are tuning into AEW not to see some of these ex-WWE talents, as great as they are. People are tuning in for MJF, a guy who has only been on worldwide TV for two, two and a half years? And if that doesn’t scream change, I don’t know what does? And what people should be screaming is ‘thank you’ to me.”
On being a competitor in Dancing with the Stars or Masked Singer:
“I definitely think I would absolutely tear it up on Dancing with the Stars or a Masked Singer. I am better than everybody at everything, so that is kind of a dumb question. But, to be fair, I have dipped my toes outside the wrestling bubble as of late. I have my hands in a lot of different pots. Some things are going to be coming up that people are going to be shocked about that I am involved in or have already finished. Exciting times in the world of MJF.”
On ways we can all be like MJF:
“A good question! To be as good as me, you have to pray that you pass away tomorrow and get reincarnated as me — which isn’t going to happen. Second place, what you can do is put down the potato chips, hit the gym, and talk to some women or men — whatever your sexual preference is — and get out of your house and get out of your apartment or whatever cardboard box you live in and just try to be more than just a typical 9 to 5 lifer or humanoid who honestly does not contribute at all to society.”
