"I just think he's magic on the mic" - Eric Bischoff heaps praise on young AEW star
Eric Bischoff had nothing but praise for AEW star MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman) when he spoke about the latter's mic work.
MJF is currently in a heated rivalry with his ex-bodyguard, Wardlow. Mr. Mayhem has been a problem for the 26-year-old ever since the former got banned from attending AEW events. Despite this, Wardlow has managed to sneak into the arena during matches involving FTR and Shawn Spears.
In his interview with Bodyslam, Eric Bischoff stated that he has no words for MJF's brilliant promo skills. The legend also questioned whether there's anyone as great of a talker as MJF. Bischoff added that the Salt of the Earth was great at improvising in his promos.
"I can't say enough good things about him. I mean is there anybody in the industry on a mic that is.... as close to the level of talent that MJF is. I think not. I mean this guy's improvising, he's in his head and I just think he's magic on the mic. I don't know what else to say," Bischoff said. (From 1:00:52 - 1:01:27)
