MJF Praises Trick Williams & Oba Femi: ‘Boatload Of Potential’

MJF is a fan of Trick Williams and Oba Femi, praising the two WWE stars as having a “boatload of potential.” The Salt of the Earth spoke with Lyric for Pro Wrestling Illustrated to commemorate his placement atop the 2026 PWI 500, and during the conversation he was asked to give rapid fire thoughts on the rest of the top 10.

While most of the rest of the top 10 got some variation of “beat him” from MJF, he did take time out to praise Williams and Femi. He noted that he had “nothing bad to say” about Williams and got a chance to hang out with him a couple of times, and said both men have plenty of potential. You can see the highlights below:

On Williams:

“Greay guy… Trick Williams in the number eight spot. Talk about a guy, he’s only been on national television for a very short period of time. I got to meet Trick actually at LaGuardia Airport, in my opinion the best airport in New York state. And we chopped it up a little bit. Got to hang out with him again recently at my friend Dip’s party. It was good.

“He’s just a good guy, you know? I like him. I know this is more than five words but great guy, boatload of potential. Yeah, nothing bad to say there.”

On Femi:

“Another guy that’s represented by my pal, Brian Dipperstein. Great dude and very large. A very large man and another guy with a boatload of potential.”
