Wrestling veteran believes AEW's MJF would have been a potential dream opponent for the late WWE Hall of Famer (Exclusive)
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter spoke hypothetically about a potential dream scenario between AEW star MJF and the late WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
Best known for portraying villainous characters during the 1980s, The Hot Rod has left an everlasting impression on wrestling enthusiasts' minds. Roddy Piper has been such an influential figure from the bygone era that fans and veterans alike love comparing him with the current generation.
While speaking with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Apter shared his belief that if Piper and Friedman had thrived in the same era, people would have loved to see them collide.
The wrestling journalist also added that MJF vs. Roddy Piper would have been a perfect fit for the dream match category list in his wrestling superstars magazine back in the day:
"Yeah, I think Roddy Piper and MJF, if they were at the same point of their careers, I think that would have been amazing,'' Apter said. ''And, had I've been back in the magazines at the wrestling superstars, and we did dream matches all the time, that would have been a hell of a dream match, wouldn't it?" [19:15 onwards]
