#2. Chris Jericho felt MJF's promo on AEW Dynamite made people uncomfortable

MJF has been cutting some scathing promos on AEW programming over the past few weeks. The Dynamite Diamond Ring winner has been dangling on the line of what is acceptable.

MJF went hard at Brian Pillman Jr. during their feud, often insulting his family. The former went as far as bringing up Brian Pillman's death. MJF went down the controversial route again when he spoke about Lex Luger being in a wheelchair while addressing Sting.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

In a recent interview on Sports Media with Richard Deitsch, AEW star Chris Jericho spoke about these comments about Lex Luger, saying he believes those comments made people feel uncomfortable.

“People at this point know that this is show business. There’s only so deep you can go. I think that, for example, there was a line a few weeks ago that MJF used about Lex Luger being in a wheelchair to Sting. I don’t think that gets heat, I think it makes people feel uncomfortable. I think it makes people feel bad, and you don’t want that," Chris Jericho said.

MJF is extremely committed to his character. So much so that he doesn't break character outside the ring either. He also viciously insulted his parents in another display of his heel character.

It's up for debate as to how far is too far. There is no doubt that if there's one man in AEW who people love booing, it is MJF.
