"Dollar store Paul Levesque" - Twitter ruthlessly mocks AEW star for referencing Triple H's historic WWE run
AEW World Champion MJF made yet another reference to Triple H during this week's episode of Dynamite. Despite the crowd in attendance seeming fired up, Twitter users were not as kind to Friedman.
Triple H is one of the most recognizable stars in pro wrestling today, but while he's mainly praised for his achievements, back in the early 2000s, the star was a hated villain. During this time, The Game was booked at the forefront of WWE and had multiple World Championship runs in what's now dubbed "The Reign of Terror."
During MJF's recent promo on AEW Dynamite, after betraying William Regal, the star cut a promo where he claimed he'll be embarking on his own "Reign of Terror." Friedman then took to Twitter to yet again reaffirm his new venture.
In response to Friedman's promo, Twitter flared up, and instead of hyping up The Salt of the Earth, fans opted to ruthlessly mock MJF.
It remains to be seen if MJF's World Championship reign will not only last as long but be as memorable as Triple H's. Despite fans' responses, Friedman clearly believes he has the potential to have a career that rivals The Game's.

MJF's promo during Dynamite caught the attention of two prominent AEW stars
Maxwell Jacob Friedman is no stranger to stirring the pot, as his numerous WWE references seem to point out, but during his promo. Friedman notably took a dig at Eddie Kingston. After catching the wind of the jab, The Mad King took to Twitter to respond to MJF.
"Again I'm not there and another C**T speaks mu name. They fear me in the physical form," Kingston tweeted.

Additionally, the current AEW World Championship #1 contender, Ricky Starks, also clapped back at MJF after the star's Twitter post.
"You are going to run this company into the ground," Ricky Starks Tweeted.

MJF clearly doesn't intend on making any new friends in All Elite Wrestling, despite now being the face of the promotion. But is making new enemies out of Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks a good idea for the reigning World Champion?
