MJF recently heaped praise on former WWE Superstar Shawn Spears.
During his second WWE run, Spears was known as "The Perfect 10", Tye Dillinger. Initially beginning his run with NXT, the star would soon move over to Smackdown where he was mainly used as enhancement talent. Today, Spears is known as The Chair-Man, MJF's right-hand man.
In his interview with Barstool Rasslin', Friedman touched on the differences he believes he'd experience in WWE if he jumped ship. The star also took the opportunity to shower some praise on Shawn Spears.
"Shawn Spears is an ex-WWE guy that gets it. Now, if/when I were to go over there, I’d have me a ball because I’ve built my brand and established myself here. So when I go over there I’m not going to have to deal with the same type of bulls*** that poor Shawn Spears had to deal with. Because a guy like that has been criminally underrated for over a decade!" MJF pointed out. [11:45 onwards]
Spears is currently gearing up to take on MJF's biggest problem yet: Wardlow. Spears and Wardlow will come clashing in a steel cage match with Friedman as the Special Referee. Will the former WWE star finally prove just how underrated he's been all along?

MJF believes that he'd be able to go toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins
During the same interview, MJF boldly claimed that he'd love to wrestle The Tribal Chief if he ever jumps ship to WWE.
"I think me and [Roman Reigns] would have a tremendous match, yeah. I think it’d be a friendly competition. I would [also] love to wrestle Seth Rollins, I’d love to wrestle The Miz, there’s a lot of guys." [22:55 onwards]
Fans will have to wait until Friedman's contract expires in 2024 to see if the Salt of the Earth will possibly have a better WWE run than Shawn Spears ever did.
