Adam Copeland gives his scouting report on MJF.
Adam Copeland has seen them come and go in wrestling, and being a hockey fan, he's seen his fair share of stars live up to the hype and players who turned out to be busts.
Appearing on The Drop on NHL on ESPN, Copeland was asked about MJF and what seperates him from other young talent in the world of wrestling.
"His confidence. You can do so much with confidence. You can make people believe with confidence. You can make people feel with confidence. Whatever feeling it is that you want to pull out of people. More than anything, that to me, is the key with him. He has supreme confidence with the microphone and he looks confident in the ring. Confidence translates, it really does. When you can tell someone is having fun doing what they're doing, whether it's poking the bear or whether it's he's everybody's scumbag. Whatever that it, to me, it starts with confidence. That's with any performer. Max has confidence and that's honestly the first step. That can take ages for people and that can never happen for some people. I don't think I fully felt comfortable until about 2005 is where I really started feeling my groove and my confidence and really come together. That's when I started main eventing," said Copeland.
MJF is set to defend the AEW World Title against Daniel Garcia on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite.
Copeland will be in action on Saturday's AEW Collision when he teams with Sting & Darby Allin.
Fightful will have coverage of both shows beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
