MJF is 100% right when he talks about investing the fans in his matches. Why wouldn't you want a monster pop for just delivering a clothesline and not have to destroy your body doing swantons from the rafters onto barbed wire-wrapped flaming tables? MJF is wise well beyond his years.

IWC marks really think that indie crap will slide on national TV, and the egos of some of the younger wrestlers make it worse.

I've never seen MJF talk this real before, ever. And I can tell he was being honest too because that PPV was one of the best things I have ever seen and being their for his handi-cap match was unreal. He's so insanely over.

The beauty of MFJ is he blurs the lines, but the genius of MJF is that you have no idea what he is blurring the lines about. Nobody can honestly say what is real and what is kayfabe, and I think that's why we love it so much.

That first 2 minutes of MJF's take on what wrestling should be is spot-on. I do think emotional investment triumphs raw stunts, and when the raw stunts do happen, it would hit much harder. Case and point, MJF's feud with CM Punk.

Love how tony was like cant say edge we dont want to get sued 😂😂

The edge line was funny

If you agree with what he's saying then you're basically agreeing with what Jim Cornette has been saying the ENTIRE TIME😂😂😂😂😂 THIS. IS GREAT!!!

When he said Edge instead of Adam Copeland, I could see Tony’s face say “Fuck. That’s gunna be a lawsuit. Oh well. Pocket change.”

Look at Tony's reaction when MJF mentioned "Edge".....

MJF to me....is AEW current BEST Champion they've had from a fan that is invested in the "story"....what he is doing with this run and with Adam Cole & Co. is simply great TV viewing. All-In Main Event was the icing on the cake and what they've been doing to keep this story current is just excellent. Keep it going!

To those that think MJF is being "real," he's really not. He's 100% in-character as "good guy" MJF, that's all. He never breaks kayfabe.

Bro is over even with the reporters, literally got cheered as he was leaving the room lol

Tony Kahn without the fear of God on his face by what MJF is saying is something I'm really not use to see in a Media Scrum with these two. Babyface'ish MJF is a real treat. Jokes aside, he's totally right. AS much as I actually like the "flip flops" and the hard hitting stuff I can't help but smile about the way MJF makes you care for the simplest of moves just because he's an AMAZING character worker and commands the crowd like very very few. It's different flavors that make wrestling so great and I very happy to be able to see this great moment of the business.

Mjf either don't know or forgets the fact ADAM COPELAND (edge) is the ULTIMATE OPORTUNIST and can take that belt if he wants to

Just year time mjf attitude has completely changed he use to not listen or pay attention to people's questions and we been seeing a side to mjf I thought we wouldn't see honestly and him being sooo damn wise for his change is mind blowing how he thinks most don't

MJF is a generational talent in every facet of wrestling. If some of the other talent would take some advice, this company could really be competitive.

The best wrestler in the world and ITS NOT CLOSE

I didn't give a bleep about wrestling for almost 12 years, and now it feels like a new Attitude Era. Both companies will profit from this. For myself, AEW is the league to watch, but even WWE fans have to admit that AEW is making their product better by generating the first serious competition since the nWo era WCW. IMHO, MJF is the far better King of the Mountain compared to Roman Reigns. The only WWE guy who could truly challenge this state of affairs is L.A. Knight. If WWE pushes him the right way.

MJF & LA Knight are the 2 best yes. I also stopped from 2006 - 2021. That being said WWE is the superior product storyline wise, which matters most. AEW has the occasional banger of a match but they lose too much potential because of ZERO story. It's a botch by them. Also it's not even close to the Attitude Era.

@@ModernDayRenaissanceMan Yeah, nah... Storytelling can happen within a match. MJF vs. Adam Cole in London was a masterclass in that regard. I just don't like these short 12 minute PPV matches that WWE seems to put on these days (I rewatched the Pitch Black Match when Bray Wyatt died - it wasn't a good match at all). WWE is wrestling entertainment for a younger audience, AEW is pro wrestling for (nostalgic) adults mostly. I also really enjoy their openness to bring in Japanese wrestlers, luchadores, etc... The roster is always open, and that's a good thing.

wow ... I TRULY EMPRESSED with MJF . Kick A$$

2 things. I completely agree with MJF here. I don't want people to kill themselves or their opponents to get a fan reaction. Also, is it me, or is this the most relaxed that Tony seems around Max? He usually looks terrified, or annoyed,mostly a combination of the 2,lol.

I do have to say he is The Company man aew needs to keep him long term wwe will not use him right

MJF in full babyface mode.

If your planning on Becoming a wrestler. STUDY MJF

Fun fact : MJF met Adam copeland and Randy orton when he was a kid.

This would have been even better if MJF came out with brownies and bought icecream for all the fans

The Righteous should've won. Their momentum is now dead. Yes I'm a MJF fan, huge fan!! But don't bury a team who now have fans behind them and are being spoken about all over social media. MJF is already a big star.

Khan is such a damn stooge lol. What a Mark. MJF is gonna be a gold mine when he jumps to WWE. The names he spouted off are not on his level, he deserves a bigger stage and better opponents.

Mjf is what wrestling is about the story the emotions not about the loud pop only the WWE he has is Romain story and aew has so mini storys that are real

The best today. I just wish since he didn't bust Adam Cole with the ring on the boat I wish he'd punch out Tony Khan.

Matt & Jeff Hardy, Sting! CM Punk (when he was there). The Big Show, Brian Danielson, Jake The Snake Roberts...........I mean, whos next? The Undertaker? Kane? Mick Foley? The Rock?

Well... nice to see MJF's true colors since his debut with AEW... I criticized him massively trying to finally see those colors but hey... I just hope for him he keeps on relying on those colors rather than being still the not fully legit pro wrestler he was looking and sounding alike when I criticized him and in this media scrum session he made an admission to me at least... he sucks in portraiting a gimmick and he should focus more on being just himself and bringing himself out into that ring. I wasn't expecting anything else that that when I criticized him. Pro Wrestling Entertainment is not made for and by pretenders. Ask Chris Jericho! PS: For those who don't understand why I named Jericho... well... I've been watching Pro Wrestling for over 40 years by now and I can tell we're talking about a Pro Wrestler Entertainer who, as we all know or are supposed to know always reinvented himself, has *always brought a new side of himself* and of his rich personality in his so many "gimmicks" and always sounded 100% legit in every single word he spoke during his legendary career just by doing exactly that!
