Shawn Spears gives credit to MJF.
Shawn Spears and Maxwell Jacob Friedman were worth inseparable as members of The Pinnacle. Over time, their careers would go in different directions, but Spears still has an immense level of respect for the work ethic of the current AEW World Champion.
Speaking on VIBE 105 Sports, Spears praised MJF as a performer.
"He’s exactly that, he’s a performer. He understands this industry, grasps onto things a lot faster than most, and he has been in the ring or under the wing of a lot of our industry’s top talent. I believe it was Cody who brought him in, Cody Rhodes brought him to AEW way back when, so you’re under the wing of arguably the biggest star on the planet today," said Spears of Maxwell Jacob Friedman. "You go from there to Chris Jericho. Then blood feuds with guys like CM Punk and going an hour with Bryan Danielson, you’re getting a top-notch, first-class, crash course in how to be a megastar. He has received it well, he’s understood it well, he continues to try to improve week to week. I know Max very well, both in front of the scenes and behind the scenes. I’m pretty confident in saying that, even though he’s the World Champion, it’s not enough. He won’t rely on just being the World Champion. He’s going to aim high and go bigger. That’s just how he’s molded and operates. I dare say, I wish a lot of people across the board, talent-wise, would work that hard."
