WWE Legend fancies himself in a promo battle with MJF: "I've been on the mic with Miz, 'Taker, Kurt Angle" (Exclusive)
WWE Legend Mark Henry recently spoke about battling MJF on the microphone. The Hall of Famer also recalled going toe-to-toe with the likes of The Miz, The Undertaker, and Kurt Angle on the mic.
MJF is one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling due to his incredible charisma and wrestling ability. He is a former AEW World Champion and recently defeated Will Ospreay to become the new AEW International Champion in an almost hour-long match on Dynamite.
In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, Mark Henry spoke about how his rivalry with Friedman would have played out. The veteran explained the type of promos he would cut against The Salt of the Earth.
"You know what, I'm sitting here thinking about it now, MJF is also another guy that I feel like would be a good match. I would love to have been able to get on the microphone against him. And you know I've been on the mic with Miz, 'Taker [Undertaker], Kurt Angle and the list goes on and I held my own. It would be a challenge to go mono-e-mono on the microphone with him and then challenge him to survive the night in the ring with me. I dare you to live till tomorrow, I double dare you. We could do good business." [From 02:48 to 03:51]

Booker T comments on MJF's recent match at AEW Dynamite
MJF and Will Ospreay went to war for the AEW International Title. Surprisingly, their match lasted for almost an hour on the recent episode of Dynamite. However, the duration of the contest has been criticized by many.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, NXT commentator Booker T shared his thoughts on the match and claimed that people are not interested in watching a wrestling match for an hour on TV.
"An hour of broadway on television these days? (...) I don't know. I could be wrong but I don't think people are interested in watching people wrestle for an hour on TV these days. But I could be wrong on that." [From 21:51 to 2:11]
However, many have praised the performances of MJF and Will Ospreay in the title match. It will be interesting to see if both stars run it back at next month's All In Pay-Per-View in London.
