Roman Reigns Is “Not Even Close,” To MJF As Wrestling’s Gold Standard According To Freddie Prinze Jr

Everyone has their favorite wrestler at the top of the heap, and the discussion about who is the best rages on among wrestling enthusiasts. On his podcast “Wrestling With Freddie,” Freddie Prinze Jr. offered his opinion on the subject. Out of all the options at available to him, he picked Maxwell Jacob Friedman over everyone else in the business.

This dude is the gold standard of professional wrestling. He is top of the food chain,” Prinze stated unequivocally before putting him head-to-head in comparison with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. “Roman Reigns is what he is. He’s great, and he’s not even close to reaching what MJF already has. And MJF hasn’t been doing it half as long, at this level,” he added. “This dude — he could go out next week, sit in a stool, open Dr. Seuss books (the one that you’re not allowed to read anymore), and read it word for word, and show the pictures of the racist imagery that everyone got mad about, and they would cheer, and it would be the highest-rated segment of the week.”

Prinze didn’t go into detail about whether Roman Reigns would be able to elicit a comparable reaction for doing the same action, but considering WWE’s course since the Attitude Era, we probably won’t ever find out. To be certain, one must speculate as to whether Tony Khan will ever adopt Prinze’s thesis.
