AEW World Champion MJF doesn’t agree with the comparisons that have been made by some fans between his storyline with Adam Cole and WWE’s Bloodline saga.
Over the summer, these two angles were the hottest stories of their respective promotions, with both headlining major events in the United Kingdom (Money in the Bank & All In.)
Speaking with “WrestlePurists,” MJF said that just because his storyline with Cole and The Bloodline garner strong reactions from fans, that doesn’t make them similar. He said,
“Oh, man, I don’t think it’s similar at all. I’ll tell you what it is. Again, this goes back to an issue that was inside of my sport. It was a while until we had something that made us feel something, and The Bloodline made us feel something. Before The Bloodline, it was just like, ‘I’m tuning into WWE. There’s sh*t going on, I guess,’ it was just very scattered. It was just scattered. That’s the only way to describe it.
“Then, Bloodline came along, and it made you feel, and now here’s MJF and Adam Cole, and, ‘Oh, my God. I’m feeling something right now. I intensely care about this. That reminds me of the feeling I have when I watch The Bloodline. Maybe it’s the same thing.’ Which is insane, right? Like, if I watch a Saw movie, and I love it, and then the next day I sit down, and I watch f**king Goodwill Hunting, those movies both get me excited. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t mean that they’re doing the same thing.”
MJF will defend the ROH World Tag Team Championships by himself against The Righteous during tonight’s AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view event.
