Brian “Road Dogg” James is notorious for doing a special segment on his “Oh You Didn’t Know” podcast in which he compares himself to wrestlers of the past and present.
While Road Dogg does praise them justifiably, his remarks usually appear to be tongue-in-cheek.
This time Road Dogg is making headlines by claiming that he is a better sports entertainer than former AEW World Champion MJF. He said,
“The fact that I’ve taken this long should make everybody mad. Are they pissed, you think, by now? I don’t know, dude, he’s great. He’s a really great promo. He’s not a great wrestler, in my mind, but I wasn’t even a good one, so I don’t compare that to. Let me just give this to you plain and simple. The Road Dogg is a better sports entertainer than MJF. That is no disrespect to MJF, I’ve met the individual, very respectful young man, very smart young man. Smart in the way he eats, the way he trains, surpasses me in everything, but I wanted to make the one line that everybody will read very clear; I’m a better sports entertainer than MJF. I get it. Then, I’ll trend. Thank you guys for that. If they listen to the whole thing, as a human being, I think the dude is a good dude. Spent some time with him at a…sat with him and Billy [Billy Gunn] while we watched Grado work at the convention we were at, and had a blast. Great guy. Great at what we do. Would be tremendous in WWE. Never say never. I hope I get the opportunity to work with him. Again, let me make it very simple for you guys; I’m a better sports entertainer than MJF.”
MJF lost the AEW World Title to Samoa Joe this past weekend at AEW Worlds End 2023.

In a recent episode of his podcast “Oh You Didn’t Know,” Brian “Road Dogg” James made headlines by comparing himself to former AEW World Champion MJF and claiming that he is a better sports entertainer. While Road Dogg’s remarks are often tongue-in-cheek, this statement has sparked some debate among wrestling fans.
Road Dogg is known for his special segment on his podcast where he compares himself to wrestlers of the past and present. While he does praise them, his comments are usually lighthearted and not to be taken too seriously. However, this time he seems to be making a more serious claim about his abilities compared to MJF.
In his statement, Road Dogg acknowledges MJF’s talent as a great promo but questions his wrestling skills. He also admits that he wasn’t a good wrestler himself, so he doesn’t compare himself to MJF in that aspect. However, he firmly states that he is a better sports entertainer than MJF.
It’s important to note that MJF recently lost the AEW World Title to Samoa Joe at AEW Worlds End 2023. This loss may have influenced Road Dogg’s comments, as he may see it as an opportunity to assert his own superiority as a sports entertainer.
While Road Dogg’s claim may be controversial and subjective, it’s interesting to see how wrestlers from different eras perceive their own abilities and compare themselves to others. Wrestling is a unique form of entertainment that combines athleticism, storytelling, and charisma, so the definition of a “better” sports entertainer can vary depending on individual preferences.
Regardless of personal opinions, it’s clear that both Road Dogg and MJF have made significant contributions to the wrestling industry. MJF is known for his exceptional mic skills and ability to generate heat from the crowd, while Road Dogg was a popular figure during the Attitude Era of WWE and played a crucial role in the success of D-Generation X.
In conclusion, Road Dogg’s claim that he is a better sports entertainer than MJF may be seen as a bold statement by some fans. However, it’s important to remember that wrestling is subjective, and different wrestlers bring their own unique talents and styles to the table. Ultimately, it’s up to the audience to decide who they believe is the better sports entertainer.
