MJF Drama - MJF IS BACK [9/4]

If they go into the PPV not knowing the status of the Wardlow match and even worse, the match doesn't actually take place. This is as carny and fukked up as many of the shytty things we all criticise WWE for.

The main card doesn't even start until 8. Does he really need to be there 4.5 hours early?

He essentially worked himself into a shoot and there aren't any winners. Fans got screwed over for paying to see him and him not showing up (kayfabe he probably loves the meet and greets given he can shyt all over fans in person and still remain in character), Wardlow got screwed over by this saga given his big moment in the story is now being overshadowed, and TK got screwed over because there's now a potential for things to spiral live on a PPV and he has to decide whether to pull the match or not (the tweet promoting the match was deleted as was the video on AEW's youtube page).

Most importantly, MJF royally screwed himself over. That WWE offer is going to be there, whether he's released by AEW tomorrow or in February 2024. Hell, WWE can offer more money a year and a half from now since their TV rights deals will be resigned around the same time as AEW's. Also no-showing a fan event is not a great way to make a great impression on a company that boasts about its fan events and experience. Plus the fact Prichard, a guy MJF is close with, has said multiple times on his podcast about people doing business the right way, and MJF's stunt ain't it.

MJF is a much better talent than Miz is on the mic and in the ring (think about where The Miz was when he was the same age MJF is now), but dude needs to get his head out his ass. If the match happens tonight, it wouldn't shock me if he sells for Wardlow the same way HBK did for Hogan at Summerslam 05.



Think MLW's contracts at that time didn't have any mention of potential WWE rivals and it's why he was able to appear on both for a while. Not sure if his contract was bought out or if it expired. It's how Brian Pillman Jr was able to appear on AEW programming as well since his contract had similar language.

This p*ssy went from cheering sasha to typing paragraphs about MJF being unprofessional

Yeahhh this is not good at all. Either Khan throw money, chop off his pinky, and whatever it takes to get Okada on the horn, or this is going to be the biggest clusterfukk that ever happened to the Dub since explosion barbwiregate.

I seen this angle before

But if you must MJF...then #freeMJF

Probably a different thread for a different day, but

Is pretty bad too, especially when you take into consideration he's a blood relative of Hogan's. At least Horace Hogan was in the nWo and got that rub.

It's why TK needs to come out beforehand and make an announcement. Can't go live with this looming over everything.

It's pretty standard to be in the building hours before the PPV, he could arrive 2 hours early for all we know. But the main point here is that were 4 hours away and the status of the only match that had a huge build up is unknown and that's something that needs to be addressed hours before the show, not in the moment or 30 minutes before the Buy-In.

Tony Khan needs to opt for the time honored tradition of MJF's music hitting and a midget coming out wearing a Burberry scarf only to be tossed into the 5th row by Wardlow

My dumb fine ass is still thinking it's a work

If it is, it's a stupid fukking way to promote a pay per view.

I think more people would be inclined to not buy the PPV than spent money on it thanks to this fukkery. tbh.

it totally neuters Wardlow in this storyline if its all a work considering all people care about right now is what is gonna happen with MJF behind the scenes instead of this being Wardlow's big coronation/elevation moment

From Fightful...

January 1, 2024 is the date of expiration for the MJF AEW contract, according to sources close to MJF himself. MJF had originally signed with the company in 2019, but signed an extension that significantly increased his salary over the amount he'd signed for. However, since then, MJF has felt like he's drastically outperformed even that deal and had expressed his frustration with his AEW contract. This led to he and Tony Khan butting heads in early April, leading to much of the drama that has unfolded this weekend.

It's worth noting that multiple times this year, talent and AEW haven't quite been on the same page as it pertains to when their deals are officially up, and this info came from people close to MJF.

Y’all notice that the usual AEW fanboys are avoiding this thread like the plague?
