    Mjf is so well spoken and can merge his "character" effortlessly with his real personality that he can basically stay in character forever if he wants to. That's actually high class method acting. He has a bright future in the business.

    MJF has perfected the role that made alright wrestlers into Mega Stars. His character is based off his actual self, but at times magnified. This is what Stone Cold and The Rock, even John Cena could pull off that made them into legends they are right now. At 26 as well, my god MJF is truly very dedicated and is one of a kind

    It is so refreshing to see an actual PROFESSIONAL wrestler. He actually corrected Ariel and cut him off when he used backstage terms, and he never broke character once. If there were more people like him in the business, it could actually become popular again.
