During a recent appearance on the “Game Marks” podcast, AEW Superstar MJF commented on wanting to play a Kane-like character when he first joined the pro wrestling business. He said,
“I always thought that I was going to be this dark, brooding, black face paint around the eyes, Kane-like, Legion of Doom-esque character and the character name was Mad Max and I remember, I always gave my guy a red mohawk with long tights, black boots, and a skull with a big leather jacket. Then, I grew out of being a complete fucking loser and I realized I should just be myself and start making Maxwell Jacob Friedman, a fun-loving guy that everyone likes. Beloved by all and has a little bit of money. Not a lot, but a comfortable amount of money.”
MJF vs. Sammy Guevara will headline next Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
