When the 2019 year-end awards are being handed out by wrestling websites, promotions and analysts, you can bet that AEW star Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) will be among the top names in various categories.

Whether he is being an obnoxious trash-talker or Cody Rhodes’ protective best friend, the 23-year-old knows exactly how to get the attention of wrestling fans with anything that he does.
Unsurprisingly, the New York native was no different back in 2015 when, using the name Maxwell Jacob Feinstein, he auditioned to be on Tough Enough.
During a one-minute promo, he personally addressed Triple H – or “Trip”, in MJF’s words – and informed the 14-time World Champion that he has the physique, charisma, and attitude to make it in WWE.
“So, Trip, the question isn’t if I’m Tough Enough. No. The question is, are you smart enough to know when the future of your company is looking you dead in the face? Because my name is Maxwell Jacob Feinstein and I’m better than you, and you know it.”
Fast forward to 2019 and MJF has established himself as one of the top personalities in the wrestling business during his time with AEW over the last few months.
