Our Honest Review: Three Dislikes, Three Favorites

MJF‘s Mic Skills: A Shadow of His Former Ruthless Self?

The once-sharp tongue of Maxwell Jacob Friedman, AEW’s “Devil,” seems to be losing its bite. While MJF’s ongoing feud with Mark Briscoe has featured a familiar pattern of personal attacks, recent performances suggest a decline in the wrestler’s acclaimed promo prowess.Since before All In, Briscoe has consistently targeted MJF with bodyshaming remarks. MJF’s typical response has been a hesitant, mumbling retort, frequently enough culminating in a predictable jab about Briscoe’s deceased brother. This formula, once a hallmark of MJF’s heelish charisma, is beginning to wear thin with fans.

On a recent episode of “AEW Dynamite,” Briscoe’s confrontation with MJF followed this established script. As Briscoe delivered another “kosher pickle joke,” a familiar, almost wearying trope, many viewers, like the author, found their attention waning.

However, MJF showed flashes of his old self. He launched into a biting critique of Briscoe’s career, dismissing his accomplishments and labeling him a “bumpkin” loved by few. He questioned Briscoe’s potential as a “top guy” in AEW.these sharp words briefly resurrected the image of MJF as the on-mic menace who routinely dismantled his championship rivals. Yet,the momentum was derailed by the uninspired return to the “dead brother” insult,a move that elicited disappointment rather than the intended shock.

MJF’s reputation as a formidable promo is undeniable. His dedication to kayfabe and his effectiveness as a heel have captivated audiences. However,lately,his mic work has lacked the scathing impact it once possessed. he’s been perceived as a wrestler struggling to fit into various storylines, a far cry from the days when securing a program with MJF felt like a critically important achievement. now, it appears MJF himself must actively seek out feuds.

The recent exchange with Briscoe offered a glimpse of the ruthless MJF fans remember. While the intention to elevate both the heel (MJF) and the underdog (Briscoe) through MJF’s criticism was clear, the reliance on the well-worn “dead brother” trope undermined this effort. The feud coudl have progressed without invoking jay Briscoe’s memory, showcasing MJF’s greater creative potential. The tease of vintage MJF mic work, only to fall back into predictable patterns, was a significant letdown.

Fans, even those who dislike MJF, want to see him perform at his peak. this current iteration of MJF, however, is demonstrably far from his prime.
