MJF has a very direct message to those who came to AEW with the wrong attitude in recent years.
All Elite Wrestling‘s MJF recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked to describe what it’s like working with Tony Khan, Friedman took the opportunity to bury some unnamed talent who made the jump to the company in recent years, who didn’t end up panning out.
“He has learned I’m his biggest star, which is why he pays me the big bucks,” MJF began. “He understands what I bring to the table more than ever. The other thing I would say Tony Khan has learned is you want people in your locker room that not only want to be there but are worthy of being there.
“We’ve had a lot of guys in the past come in and think they are going be king sh*t just because they had their time in the sun for a millisecond in other promotions. That’s not it f*ck’in works. It’s called All Elite Wrestling. Not All Average Wrestling, not All Mediocre Wrestling. Not All…I’m going to show up, cash a check and expect to be world champion wrestling. It’s All Elite Wrestling.
“Right now, everyone in that locker room is on the same page. We aren’t coming there to cash a check. We aren’t coming to give 50 percent. We’re all giving 110 percent. If you think you’re going to come into my company, and yes I said my company because I’ve been here since day 1, and I’m the best professional wrestler in the world.
“If you think you’re going to come into my company and barely put in work, you’re out of your goddamn mind. You don’t belong here. We don’t want you here. So stay where you are and be miserable over there because you don’t belong swimming in the ocean of sharks that is AEW. And you’re talking to the biggest shark of them all in MJF.”
It’s unknown who MJF was referring to, but there are several examples that he could be talking about.
