>That’s a faulty analysis, honey. The audience clearly understands MJF is a fictional character who competes in a sport where it is common and accepted for athletes to publically adopt nicknames, pseudonyms, and flashy personas in the context of their careers as competitive athletes. It is well-understood by the audience that “Luchasaurus” or “Sting” for example are personas adopted by the fictional combat athletes who have chosen to compete under these identities and not in fact their legal names. In this segment the fictional character of Max Friedman discarded the trappings of his adopted public persona to emphasize the deeply personal nature of his grievances.
