Maven is a big fan of MJF.
Maven was a WWE Superstar from 2001 until 2005. He is also the inaugural winner of WWE Tough Enough. Today, Maven is best known for talking about his career on his successful YouTube channel. However, he still follows the industry closely.
During an appearance on Reel Appreciation with David Clair-Bennett, Maven was asked about dream opponents in either WWE or AEW. Outside of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock, Maven praised AEW's Maxwell Jacob Friedman, going so far as to call MJF a "revolutionary" heel.
"Obviously, I could put guys like Rock or Austin. I mean, they're, obviously at the top of the list. But if we're talking about today's business, I love MJF. I think MJF is gonna revolutionize what it means to be a heel in wrestling. I think he's just fantastic because he blurs the lines," said Maven. "I know him, and I know how nice of a guy he is, but most wrestling fans think that's who he is because he does such a good job of portraying that. Going today, he's probably one of my favorites."
