MJF was promoting his own brand of pickles on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, and it turns out it wasn’t just some weird gimmick. Rather, the AEW World Champion does indeed have his own FMCG line.
Earlier today, Kaylin + Kaylin announced a line of limited-edition jars featuring the reigning AEW World Champion. The flavors include MJF’s Spicy Devils (Spicy Garlic Spears), MJF’s Better Than Your Dill (Classic Dill), and MJF’s Champion Chips (Honey Mustard Chips). Pre-orders begin today and the products will ship between May 15 and June 30.
In a recent interview with AtotheKWrestling, AEW Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Megha Parekh revealed how she handles conflicts and disputes in wrestling and football.
Parkeh is currently in her tenth year with the Jacksonville Jaguars where she serves as the Vice President and General Counsel. She was promoted to her current position in 2016.
Parekh said, “I always try to meet people where they are. The same is true on the football side where we have so many different types of staff that people may not realize. I try my best to, if I’m talking to a coach, my goal is not to necessarily communicate that is most natural and easy for me, but to try to get them to understand something or explain something or agree with my perspective or position. No matter who I’m talking to, I don’t always try to do it in a way where I think is most comfortable for them, as opposed to what is most comfortable for me. That is something that took me years to learn. When I don’t persuade somebody of something, I don’t necessarily think, ‘Oh, they’re not listening,’ I think, ‘How can I say this differently to try to get them to be bought in or explain it in a way.’ I look back, and I can’t control how they process thing, but I can control how I deliver the message. There are a handful of excellent books about negotiations that help. Every conversation, if you think about it as a negotiation, not in a negative way, but what is the purpose? It’s probably to try to get someone to agree with a particular perspective I have on a situation and if that’s the case, what is the best way for me to communicate to them so that it’s most comfortable to them? I go through all kinds of gymnastics, whether I’m talking to coaches or city council, I’ll change how I dress, I’ll change how I present myself, and it’s really a matter of trying to make it so they feel comfortable. With the talent, for instance, I don’t think that if I presented myself as a traditional uptight lawyer, I don’t think they would…so much of my job is people having trust in me. I need to be somebody that is not necessarily someone that seems so much different from them because then they will be distrustful. I’d rather present in a way that makes them comfortable, based on who it is that I’m talking to.“
