10 Pictures Of MJF Like You've Never Seen Him Before

MJF is certainly the best heel in the business right now, being someone that constantly gets heat no matter what he does. This has led to audiences seeing him in that way, and that alone. A big reason for that is how committed he is to the character, even in public, MJF will stick to it.

However, there are different sides to everybody, and certain pictures from his life, and career do showcase that is true with the AEW star as well. There's no doubt he is one of the biggest names in the industry, and someone quickly on the rise, so fans are set to want to know even more about him as time progresses.

10 Being A Demon

Before AEW came along, WWE was the prime destination for wrestlers, and talent do anything to get their foot in the door. MJF is an example of that. While everyone has seen the clip of Samoa Joe shoving him when he played an extra as a security member, people often don't know this story.

MJF was one a body double for Finn Balor ahead of a PPV. This allowed the WWE team to practice the Demon makeup and paint on him, before doing it for real on the WWE star. It shows he has always been truly committed to making it, doing whatever it takes.

9 Becoming Ralphie

Finn Balor's Demon isn't the only character that MJF has taken on over the years. That's because he has also dressed up as Ralphie, from 'A Christmas Story.' Because TNT famously play the movie for 24 hours on Christmas Day, AEW decided to get involved with their own version.

The wrestlers dressed up as different characters, which included MJF. Seeing him dressed up in this manner is not how most wrestling fans would expect to see him, as this is the complete opposite to how his gimmick works.

8 Theme Park Fan

There are several wrestlers who are well known for being major theme park fans. Names like Matt Cardona, Cody Rhodes and Adam Cole often share photographs of themselves on rides. However, MJF is not somebody that people would typically associate with that group.

Despite that, here is at EPCOT in Walt Disney World, proving that he is also a theme park fan. MJF's simply enjoying some time being a tourist here, which is a different look for him. It's also rare to get a glimpse of him without a suit on too, showing a more casual side to the AEW heel.

7 Working Hard Backstage

Seeing wrestlers behind the scenes always provides a different look at talent. That's certainly the case here, as MJF hangs out with Cody Rhodes and Nick Jackson. Not only does it give an idea of backstage dynamics, it also highlights the work that people put in behind the scenes.

Here they all are sat in AEW's version of Gorilla, as they all check out the show. The monitor is there for them to watch, and potentially produce the matches that are going down, which always shows the wrestlers differently.

6 A Smile?

MJF is a serious heel, and his commitment to the character has been clear throughout his career. He always acts the part, therefore it is rare to see anything other than that version of him. It's one of the reasons he has been so successful, as fans always see him in this mode.

However, this image gives a rare glimpse at MJF not in that mode. Here, he is just being himself, enjoying the moment with Cody, breaking into an actual smile. It's a side of him that audiences do not often witness, making this a great shot.

5 His Football Career

Something that a lot of fans are not aware of is the fact that MJF is a former football player. A lot of wrestlers have come from that world, from Goldberg and Roman Reigns to The Rock and Brock Lesnar. However, MJF is also a former football player, who has thrived in that world.

It's not something he talks about a lot, and it isn't really referenced by AEW, which is why a lot of people aren't aware of this situation. Therefore, seeing him, in his youth, smiling alongside his family is totally different from what people expect.

4 Putting In The Work

Because MJF plays such an arrogant character, a lot of audiences have a specific view of him. However, there is no doubt that he has to put the work in order to reach the level that he has in the business. MJF has to put in the effort behind the scenes when people aren't paying any attention.

That is clear here within this picture, as MJF works hard in his own time, ensuring he has the best physique possible. This type of work ethic is not what fans would like to associate with a great heel, but that is why he has reached the top of the industry.

3 Commitment To Character

On the flip side to MJF putting in the work behind the scenes that people won't expect, this showcases him being completely in character. Making a fan knee down, so he can put his feet up during a live interview is a hilarious image, and something that very few wrestlers would be able to get away with.

However, this is what makes him one of the best, as he is always ready to do whatever is necessary to be a top star in the business and get heat. Lots of fans don't follow all the extra things wrestlers do in wrestling, but this shows why he's so great at his job.

2 Working On The Indies

MJF has reached a great point within his career, with his aesthetic being clear to see with the suits and scarf. However, that is something that he has developed slowly over time, which was clear within this picture, showing a much younger version of MJF as he built up his career.

He still has the trademark scarf, but the aviator sunglasses are different, which people don't associate with him as a talent. However, it gives audiences a good idea at his career progression.

1 Holding Title Gold

MJF has been a top star within AEW so far, but has yet to hold any gold within the company. However, that doesn't mean he hasn't held a title before within his career. He thrived in MLW before working for AEW, with this being the promotion that truly put him on the map with fans.

He had some fantastic performances within that period in his career there, and he enjoyed some championship glory. MJF held the MLW Middleweight and Tag Team Championships during that run, showcasing his qualities.
