Comparing today's top bad guy MJF to legendary heel, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper

Quite possibly the top “bad guy” or “heel” in wrestling today is Maxwell Jacob Friedman a.k.a. MJF. MJF has propelled himself to the top of Jacksonville-based All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

It’s his job, and few have ever done it as well as he does. Plus, we will hear from Joe Vithayathil. He’s an anchor with KPTV in Portland, OR. He became close friends with Piper in the final years of his life while Piper resided in Portland and started a small independent wrestling show on that TV station Learn more about your ad choices.
