Not even Dr Tom or Momma Pritchard have ever put over Bruce that hard🤣Next time he has a promo, he should slip in how close he and Johnny Ace have become.

Yes!Yes!&Yes! On all counts of MJF's comments. And this is a great hook.

When I heard that spamming video game moves line I Instantly thought of Jim's comments on most AEW matches.

Mjf cracked me up when he gave Bruce pritchard compliments.

Haven't listened to that interview but I think any "backlash" is a mixture of being in character, some honesty including being respectful of the talents in WWE, but mostly fans just thirsty for real life gossip. AEW has bitter ex WWE people but also folks that can use the WWE name to get themselves heat. I mean Jericho new group is literally using smark hatred of WWE for heat. MJF is great but i wonder does fans thinking Vince would love him, Hobbs, Jade, and Wardlow end up making the rest of the AEW seem lesser than. I'm sure AEW is willing to match anything so just boils down to what MJF wants. He couldn't be as smarky or profane but could easily be a younger version of an edgy talker like the great Eli Drake is as LA Knight.

Jim taking the prettiest girl to the ball. Great thumbnail. Had me dying of laughter. Keep it up.

I wonder how he manages to stay in the boundaries of Kayfabe during long form interviews like this one. He must truly believe in his gimmick-a trait of wrestling’s past we all loved. I just imagine most wrestlers can’t conduct themselves in a Kayfabe scenario like this for so long, and still come off as legitimate.

Why don't you watch the interview and get a better idea

MJF just needs a power bomb symphony from Wardlow

pay the man. he's earned it, and if they won't WWE happily will.. to either use him, or just get him off AEW TV. Tony should cut him a check for that interview because MJF is doing Khan's work for him by promoting himself.

I hope nobody ever tries to change MJF into a good guy. He is the ultimate heel. He's so talented he could probably pull off a babyface change but don't ever take his HEELDOM away from us. MJF rules.

He’ll be WWE bound as soon as his contract expires

I love that one of the boys is finally unconcerned with PR or engaging with fans on social media. If the people in your personal life know you're a good person, who gives a damn if the people watching you on TV hate your guts?

MJF didn't say anything that we old-school wrestling fans don't agree with. He hit the nail on the head on all his points. The reason we love the guy is because he represents and is what wrestling used to be. Thank you, MJF, for telling the truth!

When Helwani asked MJF if he’d be willing to sign a new deal before his contract expires. MJF said “I ain’t signing shit”.

jim u should have mjf on ur podcast as a guest! that would be entertaining!

Tony Khan had no problem with MJF doing interview. The only problem that AEW had with MJF doing the interview was that he didn’t tell AEW management that he was doing it.

This type of stuff can make him a mega star.

Tony Khan is having a "great" time right now. First, he got upset over the MJF interview cause AEW PR wasn't informed. Now, he's dealing with ghosting talent when talents' contracts expire, especially Marko Stunt.

I don't think he's really upset. MJF has mentioned his contract being up in 2024 and even having Bruce Prichard's number multiple times on air which is 2nd level smark whistling. AEW debuts and acquisitions are heavily guarded so I'm sure only real life drama that would leak is after no longer in the company

MJF just layed out perfectly why ppl love him and the Omegas and Bucks of the world don't get it. It's not about spamming moves its about making ppl feel something. And MJF gets it and he knows how to do it. And I do believe some of this though said in charecter is true to how he feels. He works in the company full of guys who think its about spamming moves and getting there shit in and he has to hear these guys talk about their "vision" 🙄 of what wrestling is so I love that he said this.

Oh god, I love this lad. What a hoot!

definitely my favorite wrestler of this generation. can’t wait to see what he eventually does in WWE

I know that it probably won't happen but I'd love to see him in a verbal sparr with miz

MJF literally just said exactly why Jim wants to adopt him

Getting heat like a busy kitchen. Like this guy a lot.

the ending was the best part lmao

Can't wait to hear MJF's promo for Crown Jewel 2024...

MJF is one of the top Heels in the business and he's in his 20s he has years ahead of him. Even after nearly being destroyed by that feud with JeriBloat he's come back better than ever. He outsmarted and out promoted Happy-To-Be-Here Punk and he's currently working the Khanman for more money. He is a star and needs to have the rocket strapped to him.

Nicely done..mjf🔥💨💪

Pretty Sure MJF already in talks to get new contract or even sign it, and just use it in storyline/character build

When even your booker can't tell whether you're real or not, you've got to be the top heel in the biz

I listened to the entire thing and assumed the rift with Khan in the aftermath was not real, but I don't care if it was or not. This interview was great.

I love MJF.

It's like RVD's "it makes me worth more money here and it makes me worth more money elsewere".

The interview just makes it even more clear mjf doesn’t just follow trends he’s in for the long haul

MJF going nuclear is always great

Normally, blurring the line between fact & fiction isn't a good idea, but in the case of wrestling, more specifically in the case of MJF, it's gold.

What a delight!

I didn't even know the interview happened. Which says a lot about it. There was nothing newsworthy about it.

Bring the brink trucks

I watched that whole interview. Was pretty solid. Kids got the goods. By 2024 he may have enough sway to get some character control out of wwe lol.. he's doing what cm punk did in 2011 and getting the realism, half kayfabe character 24 hours a day that keeps fans watching wherever hes at. Really good stuff. Proud of that kid.

Ha! he's working everybody, including his co-workers and his boss! tremendous.

I guarantee that this will turn into an angle on Dynamite once MJF’s contract gets closer to the end..Similar to the Summer Of Punk. I think he resigns to AEW though. They just gotta make MJF happy and make good on his demands. He’s worth it
