MJF thinks he is the best wrestler from Long Island.
There are plenty of locations around the world that are considered hotbeds for wrestling talent, and Long Island could surprisingly be considered one of them. Current day performers like Matt Cardona and Max Caster are from the city, while past performers like Mick Foley are also from the 'Strong Island'.
The most notable current day talent from the area is arguably MJF. Everytime that AEW hosts a show in the Long Island area, the controversial star seemingly always gets a major reaction. In the past, MJF has also used his Long Island residency as a part of his character.
In a new interview with Newsday, MJF was asked to give a Mount Rushmore of pro wrestlers from Long Island.
"The Mount Rushmore of Long Islanders who are professional wrestlers, I just think is me four times. I think Mick Foley is a hack, and it’s really upsetting that I never got to wrestle him — not because it would be a dream come true for me, but just because I really want to punch him in the face and knock him out with my Dynamite diamond ring, and prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I’m the greatest Long Island wrestler that’s ever lived."
When it was brought up that Chris Jericho was born in Manhasset, MJF resorted to name calling.
"Oh, stop it. You can be born somewhere, but he’s a Canadian. He’s a gross little Canadian."
Elsewhere in the interview, MJF discussed his role in the upcoming Von Erich movie. To learn more, click here.
