MJF believes he is the greatest wrestler to never compete in WWE. Speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, the former AEW World Champion was asked if he believes he holds that distinction.
“Yes. It’s not even close. Before me, the answer would have been Sting. And then he wrestled there,” MJF said.
When the host brought up Kenny Omega as a potential candidate for that title, MJF dismissed the comparison, citing his own reach outside of the professional wrestling industry.
“Omega? No, stop it. I love Kenny to death. If you put our names into a search engine, I can assure you, more people are looking my name up than his. Now, is he gonna go down as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time? Yes, but that’s not the question you just asked me. The question you just asked me is outside of the wrestling bubble,” MJF stated.
‘He’s No MJF’
MJF clarified that his comments were not intended to be disrespectful toward Omega, acknowledging Omega’s status within the sport.
“I’m sure people are going to try to clip this and make it seem like I’m talking shit about Kenny Omega. Kenny Omega is great. I’ve talked about Kenny Omega’s greatness when we wrestled on Collision a couple of years ago. I can’t say enough nice things about Kenny Omega, but he’s no MJF.”
