WWE Hall of Famer picks AEW star for "Best Promo Skills" over Edge, CM Punk and others (Exclusive)
CM Punk and Edge are two of the best mic workers in the world, and both had stellar years in 2021 for AEW and WWE, respectively. However, according to WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson, MJF trumped both the aforementioned superstars as the "best talker of the year."
MJF boosted his stock even further in 2021. His matches against Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, and Chris Jericho ranged from great to excellent. But it was on the microphone where The Salt of the Earth stood out quite prominently.
His promos on AEW TV against Darby Allin, Brian Pillman Jr., and CM Punk were outstanding. Those are probably what led to Arn Anderson making his decision. The former Horseman joined Riju Dasgupta to pick the winner of the "Best Promo Skills" award in the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.
"Arn Anderson Glock promo hands down. It was one of those couple of week deals that flamed up. MJF. He's so comfortable in his own skin you know I didn't think I would ever meet a bigger a--hole than myself. I have, and he is you know, he's intelligent, he's articulate. He's paid some dues. You know he's a guy that doesn't mind sticking his chin out there and saying go ahead and take a swing. Hands down MJF." (15:40-16:23)
