On the runner-ups: “I think Swerve [Strickland] really had a breakout year. I think LA Knight obviously had a breakout year. And someone else that I think really had amazing growth in 2023 was Dominik Mysterio. Those are probably the top three that pop into my mind.”
On his wrestler of the year: “My pro wrestler of the year for 2023 is Maxwell Jacob Friedman. I just…once again, a breakthrough year for him, where he became legitimately AEW’s top guy. He became the face of AEW. He started as a heel, he had this incredible transition to a babyface, the whole story with Adam Cole, just unexpectedly became the hottest thing on AEW programming. And they were so good as a tag team together. Better Than You Baybay. MJF, he just killed it.”
