Ric Flair se reconnaît dans le personnage de MJF

Dans le plus récent épisode de son podcast Woooo Nation Uncensored, Ric Flair a évoqué que MJF a affirmé être fortement inspiré par Rowdy Roddy Piper, mais qu’il se reconnaissait dans cette étoile montante de la AEW.

Flair mentionne que Piper ne se vantait pas sur ses vêtements ou autre biens matériels, contrairement à lui-même durant sa carrière.

“I’m not taking away from Roddy, Roddy didn’t brag about his clothes and stuff like that. This kid, what makes him different is he’s talking about the material things and he implies that he has the material things that other people don’t have and that really pisses people off, especially when it’s true.”

Flair soutient que MJF est un “heel” traditionnel (vintage wrestling heel) qui ne sort pas de son personnage en dehors du ring. “The Nature Boy” n’aime pas voir les vilains du ring signer des autographes pour les fans dans les stationnements d’aréna ou ailleurs.

“If I saw that kid signing an autograph at the parking lot of the building, I’d never talk to him again. He’s so damn good at what he’s doing and it really catches my attention but I’ve seen so many guys in this business who go out and be a heel on TV, then they’re out in the parking lot signing autographs.

“Instead of running to the bar 100 miles an hour, they’re walking around making sure nobody speaks about what an a—–e they are and signing all of their autographs. What heel signs autographs? I used to walk through the airport with Hunter and we would say ‘Bad guys don’t sign.’ Standard answer: ‘bad boys don’t sign.’ “

Avec les rumeurs voulant que la WWE soit très intéressé à signer MJF en 2024, alors qu’il sera potentiellement agent libre, Flair croit que MJF peut devenir une méga vedette peu importe où il continuera sa carrière. Flair ajoute que selon lui, la AEW fera les efforts nécessaires pour le garder au sein de la compagnie.

“I think he goes anywhere he wants to go. If he has a good business manager or agent, not some dumb son of a b—h like I had in the past. [I see him as a very top guy] in either company. Delivered as he is.

“He’s good enough to be good in either company. I’m not suggesting he goes anywhere, I would stay with Tony as long as Tony was paying me. And I’m sure Tony sees a lot in him or he wouldn’t be in the position he’s in. The thing about him is he’s only going to get better, and hopefully, he stays injury-free.”
