MJF Mocks Lex Luger’s Disability + Abuses Fans at Starrcast

Brian Bradley / The Stunner

Maxwell Jacob Friedman once again proved he's a glorious scumbag at this year's Starrcast convention in Dallas, Texas. Just two days before All In: Texas, the former AEW champion took the chance to mock Lex Luger's disability while abusing numerous fans.

MJF took part in a panel at Starrcast to promote his new limited edition "Red, White and Blue" action figure. In footage captured by The Stunner, Friedman cited Lex Luger for inspiring his All-American gear, but after fans cheered for Luger, MJF responded, "Guys, why are you clapping for him? He can't even walk."

The Hurt Syndicate member also struck down a fan who interrupted him -- "I'm talking you stupid bitch."

That was just the beginning for MJF. Fan-shot footage from the convention grounds shows MJF trying to slap a phone out of an attendee's hands and calling yet another female fan a "bitch." He also apparently threw someone's hat across the room before taking a meet-and-greet photo with them.

Despite his poor behavior, MJF still managed to win the Men's Casino Gauntlet Match at All In. He'll be able to challenge for the AEW Championship at a time of his choosing.

5 Greatest Feuds in AEW History

"It was so unique and so personal," Swerve Strickland said about his blood feud with Hangman Adam Page. "It got so personal because it wasn't just two wrestlers, it's two human beings, and crossing the line of men. How far you're willing to go to push those buttons of someone that you truly hate? Why are you hating them? What are you going to do about it?"

"It's that hatred that actually brings out the best in the product of what AEW is, in my opinion. People get uncomfortable because we pushed the line so far." 

Throughout its short lifespan, AEW has created some of the most iconic and vicious feuds in pro wrestling history. A brand that isn't afraid to turn the violence up to sickening heights, AEW has allowed its rivalries to escalate to Tarantino levels, solidifying stars like MJF and Toni Storm in the process.

Some of these rivalries were simply to prove who exactly was the best in the world inside the ring, while others devolved into deeply personal wars based on hatred and the thirst for revenge. Regardless of intention, these are the five greatest feuds in AEW history.

11 Most Shocking + Violent Moments in AEW History

"I am unapologetic about my love of... whatever you want to call it... the deathmatch style, hardcore. I love that stuff," Jon Moxley famously told Chris Van Vliet. "I understand most people are gonna think that's crap and they're not gonna want to watch that. Although I make no apologies that I like that stuff, I would never foist it upon everybody else. It's not like I walked into AEW and was like 'Look, all my matches are going to be crazy.' I never imagined we'd be able to do stuff like that."

Since its official formation in 2019, AEW has become wrestling's premiere destination for extreme acts of violence. With an entire locker room influenced by Atsushi Onita's FMW and Paul Heyman's ECW, both the men and women of AEW have created gruesome and iconic moments that rival any era of pro wrestling.

Tables, ladders, chairs, garbage cans and even kendo sticks have become commonplace in hardcore matches. But a bat full of a nails? A hypodermic needle? A champagne bucket filled with broken glass? These instruments of pain remain sickening to the core.

Check out the most shocking and violent moments from AEW below.
