5 things you didn't know about AEW Star MJF

#2 MJF was used as a stand-in to test Finn Balor's Demon King bodypaint in WWE

At WWE SummerSlam 2016, MJF was backstage where he stood as a body double to test the bodypaint of the Demon King Finn Balor.

It was a momentous occasion for Balor as he went on to beat Seth Rollins to be anointed the first Universal Champion.

#1 The legendary 1998 Hell in a Cell match held much importance in MJF's life to become a wrestler

While Hot Rod was the guy who inspired MJF with his promo cutting skills, when it came to in-ring competition, the 1998 King of the Ring – Hell in a Cell match holds a lot of importance.

The Undertaker vs. Mankind bout was a stepping stone for MJF's journey into pro-wrestling. The AEW Star, during his younger days, had gone into a video store and saw the cover of this pay-per-view and found it interesting as he thought Undertaker was an actual zombie.

Having said this, the match itself became so iconic for MJF that he ended up becoming a pro-wrestler.
