MJF might be a wrestling superstar, but his mouth continues to be his most dangerous weapon. During his appearance at Starrcast, the AEW villain didnt just go full heelhe crossed a line that left even the most jaded fans stunned.
While discussing his All In 2024 action figure, MJF explained the gears inspiration by saying, The gear was inspired by both Apollo Creed and Lex Luger. That comment drew applause from fans, but MJF instantly cut the cheers short with a brutal insult aimed at Lugers real-life health condition. Guys why are you clapping for him? He cant even walk, MJF sneered.
The insult didnt go unanswered. A woman in the crowd clearly took offense to his remark, but MJF responded by doubling down in true Salt of the Earth fashion. Im talking, you stupid b***,* he snappedsetting off gasps and loud reactions across the venue.
Its nothing new for MJF to push the limits of what fans will accept, but mocking Lex Lugers paralysis and then attacking a fan crossed into uncomfortable territory for many. Still, there are others who argue this is exactly what makes MJF such an effective heel: hes not afraid to make people madeven for real.
With MJFs name now linked to yet another controversial moment, the only question is whether Lex Luger will respondor if this becomes just another chapter in MJFs long history of savage promos.
