He's got a swag, confidence, his delivery. He's just great at such a young age, and he can command a crowd in a room. I'm very happy for him. He's one of the main reasons that people watch AEW because his segments are always fire," said Konnan. [1:29-1:57]

Vince Russo recently praised AEW star MJF

Vince Russo recently praised MJF while speaking on Writing With Russo on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing With Russo on WrestleBinge.

He believes that MJF didn't show any ego in his feud with Ricky Starks, who also did a great job of holding his own ground. Russo said:

"[Ricky] Starks did a great job, I am agreeing with you 1000%. But let's not overlook this. MJF let him go. MJF did not attempt to cut him off when he was getting the best of him, when Starks was on a roll. You gotta give MJF [credit]... That's a pro. That's no ego, that's when you know 'I can shut this guy down like this' and you don't, because now 'I got my stuff in now he's gonna...' That's a pro," said Russo.

MJF is currently feuding with Bryan Danielson and could defend his title against The American Dragon next.
