Ahead of defending the AEW World Championship against ‘Absolute’ Ricky Starks at Winter Is Coming tonight, MJF stated that he was upset at fans constantly asking him to wrestle more.
Speaking in an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, the AEW World Champion stated that he cares about making more money than wrestling, further taking a shot at The American Dragon Bryan Danielson.
“Wrestling fans get upset with me for not wrestling more. I hear, ‘MJF, you should wrestle more.’ F— you; you wrestle. It hurts. I’m not a f—ing mark loser like Bryan Danielson where I’m feigning [sic] to get in the ring every week because I’m a wrestling hipster nerd. You know what I care about? Making the most amount of money I can in the shortest amount of time possible, and maintaining my mental and physical health,” said MJF.
Mr. Friedman further explained his disappointment with AEW fans, calling them fickle.
“I’m not going to go out and kill my body for people who are fickle. One second, you’re beloved. Then you’re hated. That shows you how fickle, disgusting and putrid mark wrestling fans are. One second, you think MJF is the best thing since sliced bread. The next, you want someone to get the belt off me as soon as possible. And they don’t even realize it. It sickens me,” MJF concluded.
MJF is rumored to begin a feud with Bryan Danielson going forward, but can he first get past Ricky Starks tonight? Let us know you thoughts in the comment section below.
