I’ve been watching him since he was an up & comer in the Indy scene in Brooklyn. He was always great on the mic, skillful wrestler, and destined for stardom. Look at him now. So proud of him.
He's retiring? I don't get much into the politics of the business anymore. I rarely watch the show either. Really just watch for the goat MJF cuz I been watching him since MLW.
An entire 12 minute promo having great crowd control switching them from cheering to boo’ing him telling a great story with and amazing ending. MJF truly is amazing on the mic
i hope tony is MJF next "victim" so to speak´, i so sick and tired of hearing him bash MJF like that every week. You're an announcer not another wrestler you old has-been!
One thing I love about the way that AEW upload their UAclips content is unlike other promotions, they pick a starting point that gives you all the context you need and show the material in its entirety. Makes me very happy as a UK viewer, meaning I can sleep well and then be just as caught up as someone who watched live! Love AEW, me xD
Yeah the WHOOLE world will be talking about it for centuries. Doctors, lawyers, business owners, celebrities and the LGBTQ will be talking about this during graduation ceremonies, bday parties, business conference meetings, presidential inaugurations etc MJF’s promo is a bigger event than NFL SuperBowl, MLB & NBA World Series, FIFA World Cup tournament and UEFA Champions League final combined
It is actually very, very scary how incredible MJF is as a heel with what he can do on tv. Loved every second of it. The only thing keeping aew on the tv
AEW don't screw this up. Keep the belt on MJF until 2024. Have him have legendary opponents and keep him at Nuclear Heat at all times. We need this type of personality in the industry
I love how most every fool who posted a comment here are the biggest MJF mark's LMFAO...And for what reason? Honestly why are Y'all so fuckin' hot over MJF of all people? The bottom line is- he sucks, he can't wrestle for shit(hence why he's only just become AEW champion just now after how many years?...4? And just like Roman Reigns, Max is a pansy-ass little bitch who can't win a straight 1v1 match by himself without cheatin', so...that only says he's not really a real professional wrestler, let alone a champion) yet he's got the audacity to claim "there's no one on his level" LMFAO' MOX, Danielson, Omega, Jericho, Pac and Malikai Black are all well beyond ABOVE Max's level, both in the ring and on the mic and in a straight up 1v1 match, no cheatin' and no assistance, any of those guys I listed would destroy MJF with little to no effort like Brock Lesnar would have done to Roman in that 'last man standing' match if it wasn't literally 5 on 1
It's well-known that eventually, Max will have to turn face, as much as he doesn't want to, but he's gonna keep it going for as long as he can, and I'm all for it. I'm genuinely a big fan of his work.
He can be a anti-hero like SCSA. A tweener if you will. Turning him face is not going to happen, his character will not work with him being a face. It will water him down and the fans will be put off, just like the fans were put off a face Roman Reigns
I was so happy when MJF became champion and aligned him self with William but seriously this partnership only was for two weeks also never trust the devil himself MJF is my favorite
Dramatic scenes in the ring as MJF takes to the microphone taunting the crowd and giving his opinions loud and clear ! MJF truly beginning a reign of terror against his AEW rivals !
Is no one going to mention the massive freaking FLY on MJF's shoulder? Like holy shit that thing is big and it's just sitting there on his left shoulder all willy nilly.
The fact that he did a callback to a previous segment to wrap it all up is amszing. No one is doing stuff like that. His promos always make sense and have continuity.
Finally, when you cried like a spoiled kid, you get what you want :) Stupid federation ... it's just Tony Khan managing the federation like a kid plays with his wrestling toys
This was a hell of a promo right here. MJF has been killing it as a heel in AEW for well over 3 years now. Plus, That's shot behind on Regal was Painful and Brutal. That's one way to get his Reign of Terror to a good start. I wonder what Triple H would think of that. And I Hope Regal will be ok.
Even when he was insulting fans he was getting some cheers, I was expecting MJF to get usually booed but ending up cheered at points even if that's not the intention during his reign, the short time he was a tweener proved he can be a great face should he ever turn, but after the attack on Regal I don't think those mixed reactions will happen as fast as I expected them to happen, and seems he'll be the top heel until 2024 and beyond if he stays
11:32 1/2 was clapping because They thought the promo was finally over. The other half was clapping because it was boring. There is nothing special about the MJF.
MJF is the prime example that you need more than just in-ring ability...AEW has a lot of good wrestlers, but the "Star Quality" aspect is lacking in a lot of them...MJF has that quality that borderlines casual fan vs smart marks.....he doesn't have the greatest in ring ability, but he can create excellent promos and build stories where ppl care about the matches....
Didnt expect the betrayal to happen immediately. Also, MJF named dropped so many people, yet not Reigns & Punk. He's certainly not the type to hold back in his promos. Makes me wonder if he's just saving that material for later. Also, its a little bit of a let down that his custom belt doesnt look like his diamond ring. That wouldve been perfect, having a belt with an appearance thats completely his. Instead of the same plates with a custom strap.
*Either Kevin Sullivan or Josef Samael would be the perfect choice as a manager for MJF. I would've mentioned Jake Roberts, but I don't know if he's conditioned enough physically.*
Yeah... This is Dope... MJF rocks with the Championship for some time, taking\beating all challengers... Reagal comes back later with a New Challenger and stretch this story out
I really hate to see the union between MJF and Regal end so soon… it truly could have been a duo for the ages. But dammit, if MJF isn’t doing his damndest to truly be a despicable son of a bitch. You’ve gotta respect that determination.
Such a shame on how the AEW treated Regal. They had a legend that could have saved this company slip through their fingers. This company is a complete joke
15 seconds in and I'm already hanging on every word, this guy is an all timer. It's been such a pleasure watching him from the jump in AEW and I can't wait to see what's next for him
Mjf has personified himself as the greatest Heel in professional wrestling. The man himself has shown so much of a young age that he can do possibly anything to get what he wants and stabbing people right in the back. Let the reign of terror begin of MJF's era!
This is MJF at his peak. Mad props to this young man and his ability to gain nuclear heat in a short time.
@superdave not really
I’ve been watching him since he was an up & comer in the Indy scene in Brooklyn. He was always great on the mic, skillful wrestler, and destined for stardom. Look at him now. So proud of him.
Can’t believe this is the last time we see william regal in AEW
He hasn't even reached his peak yet.
He's just incredible. He's the best thing in pro wrestling right now and already one of the greatest heels of all time.
If this was Regal's last Dynamite, what a way to go out. Perfect selling, perfect facial expressions.
And here I am month later and it’s officially true tho you probably know
Yeah go to the Hall Of Shame Regal hahahaha hahahaha
He's retiring? I don't get much into the politics of the business anymore. I rarely watch the show either. Really just watch for the goat MJF cuz I been watching him since MLW.
An entire 12 minute promo having great crowd control switching them from cheering to boo’ing him telling a great story with and amazing ending. MJF truly is amazing on the mic
This is 10x better than the PG scripted promos “ You suck” 😂😂😂
"Something needs to be done, about this piece of shit" Tony Schiavone always kills me when he gets heated about MJF😂😂😂
He's what JR was to Triple H 😂
william regal rip 2022
i hope tony is MJF next "victim" so to speak´, i so sick and tired of hearing him bash MJF like that every week. You're an announcer not another wrestler you old has-been!
I still remember cracking up at Bash at the Beach 1996 when he closed the show saying "Hulk Hogan you can go to hell, straight to hell"
I noticed everyone says Piece of shit in AEW. I'm just wondering if they eat that for breakfast.
One thing I love about the way that AEW upload their UAclips content is unlike other promotions, they pick a starting point that gives you all the context you need and show the material in its entirety. Makes me very happy as a UK viewer, meaning I can sleep well and then be just as caught up as someone who watched live! Love AEW, me xD
The reply by MJF to that email "The game has changed........" is God level. Hope this reign last long
Schiavone's reaction to the belt was absolutely glorious lmaooo
“Aw, c’mon, Schiavone.”
"Blech! The Triple B sucks!"
“He has DESECRATED our title…. He has DESECRATED our title!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Being that this event, it was truly a masterclass of villainy. As he walked out, we had to cheer him. I felt like I witnessed AEW history.
@Bolbii TP bitter and twisted!!
Yeah the WHOOLE world will be talking about it for centuries.
Doctors, lawyers, business owners, celebrities and the LGBTQ will be talking about this during graduation ceremonies, bday parties, business conference meetings, presidential inaugurations etc
MJF’s promo is a bigger event than NFL SuperBowl, MLB & NBA World Series, FIFA World Cup tournament and UEFA Champions League final combined
Brilliant promo. I was actually worried for Regal. He didn’t move for an age!
He’s English they have those guards with the tall hats that stand still lol
that because Regal is that good of a worker, that he knows how to sell a spot like that
Great on the mic but is this still wrestling or a soap opera his gone OTT now
What a great segment in Professional Wrestling. Well executed.
Regal's expressions are always great, from pride to disgust of what he's done when he cuts down Bryan.
"You are now in the era of MJF and my reign of terror has just began".
And then the ratings came in.
This dude has my attention every time. This is a dude of wrestling. Best villain I've seen in a long time
MJF & a microphone just go hand and hand. I love his charisma & mic talent
MJF's heelish persona reminded me of HHH 1999-2001/2002-2006 heel era and JBL 2004-2005 heel era.
It is actually very, very scary how incredible MJF is as a heel with what he can do on tv. Loved every second of it. The only thing keeping aew on the tv
That was one hell of a promo
Yeah it’s u!
Can we appreciate the fact that the lines on his suit are in fact "Better than you" written over and over again
@NYC_Goody 🤔 maybe appreciate a bit more again ?
What would you like us to do after appreciating it, sir?
@Matt H. Bit weird of a comparison and non sensical but ok.
@stay true so if someone shaves their head are they copying Stone Cold? Who cares if McGregor did it? Not everything that is the same is copying.
He just copied what Conor McGregor did in the ufc
AEW don't screw this up. Keep the belt on MJF until 2024. Have him have legendary opponents and keep him at Nuclear Heat at all times. We need this type of personality in the industry
MJF vs Miz will be legendary.
I love how most every fool who posted a comment here are the biggest MJF mark's LMFAO...And for what reason? Honestly why are Y'all so fuckin' hot over MJF of all people? The bottom line is- he sucks, he can't wrestle for shit(hence why he's only just become AEW champion just now after how many years?...4?

@Brandon Lawson I agree, years have certainly gone by fast after I turned 20, next thing I know I am in my 40's lol
@trahapace150 a year will go by fast. Theyll be fine imo
@Revenge of the Netherrealm I know, he is a total plum 😂😂
It's well-known that eventually, Max will have to turn face, as much as he doesn't want to, but he's gonna keep it going for as long as he can, and I'm all for it. I'm genuinely a big fan of his work.
He can be a anti-hero like SCSA. A tweener if you will. Turning him face is not going to happen, his character will not work with him being a face. It will water him down and the fans will be put off, just like the fans were put off a face Roman Reigns
MJF is the greatest promo in all of wrestling
The way he closed the segment with the whole email thing from about a month ago or so was perfect.
Nice way to get Regal off tv and behind the scenes
I was so happy when MJF became champion and aligned him self with William but seriously this partnership only was for two weeks also never trust the devil himself MJF is my favorite
Brilliantly sold by Regal but what a damn hell of a promo! That was top tier stuff!!
@Vargas ....Scott Steiner?!
Lol He’s just a tiny little k!ke Scott Steiner rip off, with a bit of Bockwinkel mixed in....
MJF is a freaking god on the mic
MJF is the real deal!!
To be only 26 years old MJF mic skills are top tier with the greats
“It’s funny, you said I had much to learn and yet you’re the one who made the deal with the devil”
- Maxwell Jacob Friedman
Dramatic scenes in the ring as MJF takes to the microphone taunting the crowd and giving his opinions loud and clear ! MJF truly beginning a reign of terror against his AEW rivals !
That was one of the best heel promos I’ve ever seen.
I could never boo this guy no matter what I love him too much great entertainer.
Best segment I've seen in ages. Love it.
This is the most interesting thing that's happening in wrestling right now.
Is no one going to mention the massive freaking FLY on MJF's shoulder? Like holy shit that thing is big and it's just sitting there on his left shoulder all willy nilly.
At the risk of kicking a hornets nest: MJF is in the top five greatest heels of all time.
The fact that he did a callback to a previous segment to wrap it all up is amszing. No one is doing stuff like that. His promos always make sense and have continuity.
@Vargas not really but cool story
A la, HHH. He did all the time.
Finally, when you cried like a spoiled kid, you get what you want :)
Stupid federation ... it's just Tony Khan managing the federation like a kid plays with his wrestling toys
He’s just a tiny little k!ke Scott Steiner rip off, with a bit of Bockwinkel mixed in....
How uncouth.
This was a hell of a promo right here. MJF has been killing it as a heel in AEW for well over 3 years now. Plus, That's shot behind on Regal was Painful and Brutal. That's one way to get his Reign of Terror to a good start. I wonder what Triple H would think of that. And I Hope Regal will be ok.
@itsmequeenbee235 I agree is act is getting old , he thinks he is going to be like the TRIBAL CHIEF
In my opinion it was his worst promo even the crowd was chanting "boring".
@Jos Gor it's okay, we know you want to be different
U guys know MJF signed a extension with AEW , he is not going anywhere in 2024.
Just weird ya do that oh I hope he’s get better like he really got hit in the back of the head
This will be one of the most Epic Title Reigns of all time.
This was simply amazing
Shoutout to the fly on his shoulder. Dude was getting his 30 seconds of fame.
I love watching wrestling meant for adults 🤟🤟
He’s got a fly on his shoulder the whole promo 👀
Now that he’s the champ I wanna see him face Daniels on,PAC,Kingston,and maybe Omega
Mjf will never surpass Bruno no matter what, not even Roman will surpass Bruno. Back in that time there was no one else to take Bruno's place!!
Love how he brought HHH INTO THE MIX
MJF pushing the fan at the end 🤣
Even when he was insulting fans he was getting some cheers, I was expecting MJF to get usually booed but ending up cheered at points even if that's not the intention during his reign, the short time he was a tweener proved he can be a great face should he ever turn, but after the attack on Regal I don't think those mixed reactions will happen as fast as I expected them to happen, and seems he'll be the top heel until 2024 and beyond if he stays
I’m hyped for this title reign
I am looking forward to the Reign of Terror.
I love how they let this segment breathe right after MJF attacked Regal. More segments need that treatment instead of goin a mile a minute.
Unlike an Elite match…
...or directly to commercial.
MJF is everything Miz supposed to have been
The way he closed the segment with the whole email thing from about a month ago or so was perfect.
Nice way to get Regal off tv and behind the scenes
Hes out of that 💩 show aew
@B Wylde E C Dub
Regal goin back to the E
FACTS.
MJF is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The only person keeping AEW going MJF 👑
@Anthony M
One of the best wrestling stars to come out in the past 20 years easy and I’m sure everyone would agree on that
Absolutely false 😂
"... and my other boy, "The Game, Trips..."
😂😂😂
I dig the new belt design.. it looks legit now
Freaking brilliant ending by MJF
There’s a big part of me that wants to see MJF get pressured into wrestling on Rampage and lose in his first defense…
Just imagine if Ric Flair just stay down and had a talk with MJF. MJF would be the greatest heel in history.
Anyone else catch William throw in the pack of blood in his mouth when MJF picked up the title 😂
This going to be a good story line
MJF is a bad bad man. This dude is so unbelievable! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Pretty much the only reason I watch AEW.
Young guy on a heel title run carrying the company on his back? Yep, MJF is one special dude.
Well this definitely is a sign he is gonna at least hold it for a year
11:32 1/2 was clapping because They thought the promo was finally over. The other half was clapping because it was boring. There is nothing special about the MJF.
Still a top heel working the crowd
Ladies & Gentleman we are now in the MJF era! 😈
About time
As so it begins MJF IS FIRE 🔥
MJF is the prime example that you need more than just in-ring ability...AEW has a lot of good wrestlers, but the "Star Quality" aspect is lacking in a lot of them...MJF has that quality that borderlines casual fan vs smart marks.....he doesn't have the greatest in ring ability, but he can create excellent promos and build stories where ppl care about the matches....
12:31. The moment we all came here for. You’re welcome, folks.
Bruh, I was actually digging this duo
13:16 "Will, the game has changed."
And is waiting for you to return next month.
Didnt expect the betrayal to happen immediately. Also, MJF named dropped so many people, yet not Reigns & Punk. He's certainly not the type to hold back in his promos. Makes me wonder if he's just saving that material for later.
Also, its a little bit of a let down that his custom belt doesnt look like his diamond ring. That wouldve been perfect, having a belt with an appearance thats completely his. Instead of the same plates with a custom strap.
That man's title run is as dead on arrival as Adam Page's.
*Either Kevin Sullivan or Josef Samael would be the perfect choice as a manager for MJF. I would've mentioned Jake Roberts, but I don't know if he's conditioned enough physically.*
I love MJF
This is 3 year storytelling from his signing in 2019
The fact this was a 12 minute promo and kept the crowd in control while disrespecting them is legendary
Yeah... This is Dope... MJF rocks with the Championship for some time, taking\beating all challengers... Reagal comes back later with a New Challenger and stretch this story out
MJF is too good
2024 is a little over year away. He could definitely hold the title for one full year
I really hate to see the union between MJF and Regal end so soon… it truly could have been a duo for the ages.
But dammit, if MJF isn’t doing his damndest to truly be a despicable son of a bitch.
You’ve gotta respect that determination.
Such a shame on how the AEW treated Regal. They had a legend that could have saved this company slip through their fingers. This company is a complete joke
15 seconds in and I'm already hanging on every word, this guy is an all timer. It's been such a pleasure watching him from the jump in AEW and I can't wait to see what's next for him
I hate MJF, but the end of that promo was fire. “Allow me to leave you with words you left me seven years ago…”
Mjf has personified himself as the greatest Heel in professional wrestling. The man himself has shown so much of a young age that he can do possibly anything to get what he wants and stabbing people right in the back. Let the reign of terror begin of MJF's era!
@jose sampaio 🤣
Well, the Miz took a 100 dollar bill from a child… That’s a heel right there.
3:05 *that fly*
15:34 had to literally be the most hilarious part of Tony going off MJF 😂
Oh my goodness the stream of blood on William Regal.
The fly on MJFs shoulder 🤣
I noticed that too and was looking for this comment 😂
Now if only they could get the rest of the show to be even a tenth this good
I love the way that there is a fly stuck on MJF suit during this promo.
I really hope Ethan Page wins the Diamond Royale Rumble and gets a push. I think he is criminally underutilized.
He gave him a dead arm what a move👀
He’s just incredible, the best in the business right now
There’s an art to heel heat nowadays and MJF is an absolute maestro.
Mjf is already the greatest aew champion
If this was Regal's last Dynamite, what a way to go out. Perfect selling, perfect facial expressions.
Even if Regal signed a 1 year deal, he started in March.
@Vargas Didnt care, seeing that 500lbs leg come crashing down on ol hulk made me laugh.
definitely a good way to go out
@Knight Rider that’s a terrible way to go. Yoko was so one dimensional lol.
@Joey Skywalker Again I will listen to the proper people like Regal himself and not some BS website, if he goes then he goes, if not then great.
Does MJF know what prolific means ? 🤦♂️ how can a title be prolific. 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that MJF is 26 and hasn’t even hit his Prime yet is crazy!!
The best part about this is the fact that MJF and I are at the exact same age of being 26 years old.
You never realize you’re in the good times until it’s over. This is prime MJF no doubt about it.
Maybe this is it ..we just haven't realised it yet
This reminds me of Flair kicking Sting out of the Four Horseman
