Kingston knocked MJF because he treats his co-workers poorly backstage and “thinks he knows it all and he doesn’t.”
“He’s a real piece of s***,” Kingston said. “I’m just going to put that out there. I don’t know why he’s the champ. He’ll hear this anyway, and he’ll cry about it to Tony [Khan]. Then I’ll get an email from [AEW Chief Legal Officer] Megha [Parekh] or HR, and they’ll be like, ‘You can’t be calling our world champion a piece of s***.’ And I’ll be like, ‘Well, if he doesn’t act a like a piece of s***, then I wouldn’t be calling him that.’”
Jim Cornette on MJF
AEW’s reputation for creative freedom has not only been a drawing point for wrestlers, but also something fans often praise. Jim Cornette recently reviewed had major praise for the Dynamite segment feturing MJF and praised the star for utilizing his creative freedom to deliver a convincing promo.
Cornette has gained a reputation for being very critical of All Elite Wrestling, which is why when the veteran praises someone on the roster, they’ve likely gone above and beyond to earn his goodwill.
Speaking on the latest Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling veteran spoke on AEW World Champion MJF recent Dynamite segment, where he announced Bryan Danielson’s next opponent.
“It gets old when we say this, but he’s two levels above everybody else verbally. It’s his own material, he delivers it with emotion – in a lot of cases you can buy that he’s rattling it off the top of his head.”
Cornette continued, claiming that Friedman is the best at cutting these kinds of promos.
“That’s what happens when you’re doing your own s**t, not something somebody else told you to say. Nobody else is this good at cutting a biting heel promo,” Cornette claimed.
Is it good to see Jim putting over MJF like this?
