AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF threw a drink at a young fan during his Iron Man match with Bryan Danielson at Sunday’s Revolution pay-per-view event. MJF didn’t know that the drink had tequila in it.
While speaking on his To Be The Man podcast, Ric Flair stated that MJF went too far and it was a cheap way to get heat. The Nature Boy said,
“Yeah. It’s cheap heat. You want to do something to get heat and get the people excited, that won’t hurt anybody, you cut yourself so deep that when you swing your hair, you throw blood all over them. That’s what I did all the time when I had long hair. Then they’d feel like they’re part of the action. They’re going, ‘Sh*t, this ain’t paint. This is blood’ [laughs]. I’m totally against throwing anything at a kid. You never know, if it had ice in it and that. The liability there? I’m sure Tony did a cartwheel at Gorilla [position],” Flair said.
Co-host Conrad Thompson shared his thoughts by noting that he didn’t like MJF personally and had an issue with it.
“That sh*t wouldn’t fly at WWE. I got news for you. For something like that, if he did that, that wouldn’t work in WWE for a minute,” Flair added.
