MJF is a star and you know it.
MJF has quickly become one of, if not the biggest, rising star in All Elite Wrestling and Pro-Wrestling in general. Now, on November 19th, MJF has his biggest match to date when he goes one on one with Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at AEW’s Full Gear Pay-Per-View. MJF had a shot at the gold before, but this time it’s different. Since returning to AEW back in September, MJF has garnered a wave of fan support like never before. MJF was the most heavily booed star on the show until September and now he’s getting the biggest pops. In a new interview with the New York Post, MJF talked about the positive crowd reactions he’s revived recently and how it feeds into his notion that he’s a megastar.
Being anything other than myself, fully authentically, doesn’t interest me. I am who I am. People will react to me the way they want to react to me. That’s megastar sh*t. That’s John Cena sh*t. That’s Rock sh*t. That’s [Hulk] Hogan sh*t. There were times in their career when they would come through that curtain and they got the loudest boo and there were times where they came through that curtain and they got the loudest cheer. That’s what I bring to the table. Think people need to stop worrying about fake bullsh*t labels and just enjoy this ride because I’m over as sh*t and it is fun.

MJF feels like you don’t need to change yourself due to crowd reaction and believes in staying authentic.
