I'm Better Than You and You Know It.
It wasn't just a catchphrase for Max. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and possessing charm as well as an array of talent, he certainly had a healthy ego. Growing up he had wanted to be a singer and a wrestler. His father thought for sure he would be a football player but while he was good enough to go pro, it wasn't something he wanted to do.
Life wasn't always a bed of roses for Max though. He was bullied as a kids for being Jewish and having ADHD. A weaker person would have let that stall their dreams but not Max. He used their hate as fuel to drive him to succeed and shove it back in their faces. He hit the Wrestling Indpendent scene and never looked back. Sure he still loved to sing but he found ways to incorporate it into his wrestling here and there. He joined AEW from it's start and never looked back. Wrestling gave him a chance to wrestle, talk (which he loved to do and was easily one of the best promo people in the business. No one wants MJF to cut a promo on them because he's ruthless and will tear you to shreds verbally) sing and act.
The acting world took notice and Max soon was cast in movies, one after the other. The Iron Claw, Happy Gilmore 2, Stranglehold and The Floaters. He also did voice overs in some animated shows. On the Iron Claw he had a part as well as was an executive producer and helped the actors with the wrestling scenes.
Not bad for a twenty eight year old that his schoolmates used to bully. The world was his and he was taking it.
Zac Efron is close friend and he tells him everything. Another close male friend is Tyler Hoechlin and Seth Green. He does have female friends too, he counts Ashley Benson as a friend after working with her on Stranglehold.
His personal life has had more downs then ups due to him being a workaholic. Wrestling has always been his mistress and he found it hard to juggle a relationship try to make his mark in the wrestling world. He's had a few failed romances and a failed engagement. Surprisingly enough he started randomly talking to Sabrina Carpenter and they hit it off. She didn't judge him for being a wrestler or try to use his name to further her career unlike the women in his past. It was nice to be able to relax around her plus she liked his jokes and badass attitude. Max may play an asshole in wrestling but he's a gentleman outside the ring, treating her as an woman should be treated. When you like someone you, you make time for them and that's exactly what he did as he dropped everything to take her out on a date. She was gorgeous but she wasn't a piece of meat and he made sure she knew that he liked her for her and her alone. He hated men that only cared about what they could get from a woman. He was raised better than that and being the only boy with two sisters, he respected women and made sure no one treated them badly around him. He found out she was seeing Chris Evans too and jokingly threatened to take him out. She asked him not to so maybe she really likes Chris but he's watching him. If she wants more than what her and Max have then he's ready to give her that but he will always be her friend no matter what.
