"He's got that swag to him" - Paul Wight calls major AEW star the 'most modern-day Ric Flair'

An AEW star has always been compared to legends for his immaculate mic skills and wrestling ability. The star in question is MJF. Paul Wight has appreciated him in a recent interview.

Maxwell is one of the most talented wrestlers the roster has to offer. The Devil has also become the longest-reigning AEW World Champion after surpassing Kenny Omega's run.

Speaking on T95 The Rock Station, Paul Wight applauded the MJF, saying that he understands the position he is in and what works for him.

“When I look at MJF, because MJF is naturally c**ky, you know he’s a hard worker, he’s got that swag to him, he understands performing, he was a child star on Broadway, so he’s got some chops, got some talent, But he understands who he is, he understands what works." said Paul Wight.

The former WWE Superstar also revealed that fans cannot wait to see stars like MJF has to say.

"To me, there’s only one Ric Flair, but I look at MJF, he’s the most modern-day Ric Flair that I’ve seen. There’s heels that get heat and then there are guys like Ric Flair that you hate him, but then at the same time, you can’t wait to see what they say next … like Ric Flair, Roddy Piper,” said Wight.
