MJF comments on wrestlers jumping ship from AEW to WWE and getting booked worse, says he won't settle for less compensation just because of a WrestleMania moment:

“This is where the best wrestle. We’re real premier athletes. We’re not models. We’re not ex-football players or ex-volleyball players or whatever. This is what we’ve wanted to do from the jump. I cannot... God bless people that do it... people will jump to the other place [WWE] to get booked the same and/or worse, to be compensated for less. Why? I don’t know.

If the answer is legacy, you know what I want my legacy to be? I want my legacy to be that my children are going to be able to afford to go to any school they want. They’re going to be able to afford to go to any restaurant they want. They’re going to be able to go on vacations. They’re going to be able to wear the nicest clothes. And that’s happening because I get compensated what my talent is worth.

I’m not going to settle for less compensation so I get to have a WrestleMania moment. That doesn’t make sense to me. My legacy is my family. My legacy is my wife. My legacy is my children, my grandchildren, etc. My legacy is also what I do inside that squared circle and on this microphone.”
>>
we don't want him
>>
cody, punk, powerhouse hobbs, pillman jr, mariah may, ricky starks and all the others said the same shit
>>
>>20052282
mariah may has had a terrible run since coming to wwe her being a e-drone isnt going to shoot her up in the main event
>>
>>20052299
her run isn’t any better or worse than aew she’s always sucked it’s just dave stopped giving her stars
>>
>>20052299
>mariah may has had a terrible run since coming to wwe
No she hasn't?
>>
>>20052327
>>
>>20052299
do you actually watch nxt or do you just go off what your aew echo chamber says?
funny how no one cared about her "being a e-drone" (gms) the 2 years she was in aew. just like no one cared about royce keys' age until he left aew too
>>
bloke and ricky have been absolute flops after a year in wwe
>>
>>20052274
>MJF comments on wrestlers jumping ship from AEW to WWE and getting booked worse
Absolute mark shit to bring up shit like booking instead of just talking about money and leverage
>>
>>20052356
do you watch nxt?
>>
>>20052350
>It's her fault she got injured and missed a month
She's back and just won her latest feud which is setting up her to challenge Tatum for her title. She's had more ppv matches in NXT in the last 9 months than she did across her entire AEW run by the way
>>
>>20052371
danhausen becoming wwe champion will be a great thing
>>
>>20052374
kek yes. i do. which is why i can say that you're just not right about that
>>
>>20052386
Danhausen made the move that made him more money so he's smart, that's all there really is to it
>>
>>20052274
Nice of MJF to spend his time promoting AEW's ppv this weekend by... talking about WWE?
>>20052356
>funny how no one cared about her "being a e-drone" (gms) the 2 years she was in aew. just like no one cared about royce keys' age until he left aew too
That part. It's because they need to look for anything else they can blame it on that absolves Tony and AEW for being unable to retain talent and make AEW look like the appealing option. If Mariah May was such a WWE mark then why did she choose AEW when she left Japan? If Hobbs was too old then how come he was just a champion in AEW before his contract ran out? It's all painfully transparent attempts at character assassination. Happens every time someone leaves the toybox
>>
>>20052378
she chose to be in nxt now she's being booked in midcard shit while a clown like danhausen skipped it
>>
>>20052393
so if it's about money and leverage than why isnt he wwe champion lol
>>
>>20052410
What jeet schizobabble is this?
Pretty sure it's not difficult to parse that wherever he is on the card he's gonna be making more in WWE than AEW on merch royalties if not just outright his flat salary. He's increased his stock, shitter though he may be, it was the better move for him.

>>
>>20052274
He's working, for sure. But it's true. A wrestler's #1 decision was and always should be, the best schedule or the best money. Taking less money for a fake moment is what marks do. None of the greats would've ever done that, ever. Imagine Hogan staying in AWA for less money.
>>
>>20052405
She has her entire career in front of her anon. What kind of instant gratification bullshit are you on about. Clearly with the name change and rebrand WWE isn't too worried about what she did or what hype she had in AEW and want to build her up their own way
And good for Danhausen

whatever you say wwe shill
>>
>>20052457
The ironic part is this is the biggest mark take possible and extremely short sighted
In addition to whatever base line of money someone's signing to WWE for there's also merch money to make on top of it. Be it from shirts, figures, games, etc. There's an exponentially larger number of people buying WWE merch than they are buying AEW's. There are legends contracts down the line that essentially make people free money after they're done wrestling. Which on that note, those "fake moments" you mentioned mean a whole hell of a lot more later on in people's careers. When in-ring careers end and wrestlers are off to the convention scene, who do you think is going to have a longer line? Someone fans remember seeing at Wrestlemania or some guy who maybe made $100,000 more for a few years?
>>
>>20052509
you made this entire thread to shill for aew

>>20052547

Yeah and I bet you think wm32 was 101k right ya mark lmao
>>
>>20052645
>Goes from defending wwe numbers to shitting on it
>>
>>20052547
This is kind of true, but only applicable if you get to work on top at WM and REALLY elevate your stock
Cody for example could walk back into AEW and be far-and-away the most paid guy on the roster
Hobbs on the other hand is a complete fucking mark for leaving for the prestige of WWE and wanting to make it with a wider audience instead of taking the safer checks when he's not very good and has a low ceiling

typical greedy jew. funny thing is of course he isnt worth anything in this business. he just found a sucker that will overpay everybody. but this interview sounds similar to the one tony did not long ago saying he wants to one day give aew to his children
>>
>>20052371
Hey retard, you do know that in real sports, booking is an actual thing? You can use kayfabe as being booked against worse/uninteresting opponents. This seems to be a concept that western wrestling as a whole doesn't use at all in its writing, unless certain characters are being used as certain angles, like the monster archetype, the streak holder, jobber going against the top heel as a heel maneuver by a GM, etc.
>>
>>20052274
I love how Tony has diversity in his schill ball lickers.
Jewish ball licker
Black ball licker
Goth Twink ball licker
Old announcer ball licker
Homosexual ball licker

They all say the same thing. "OH IT IS WHERE THE BEST WRESTLE" lol nigga please. AEWTISTS lap that shit up though like a dick in their face.

FUCK YOU AEWTISTS!
>>
>>20052424
"GAYEW, WHERE THE BEST FAGGOTS DO TANDEM GYMNASTICS FLIPS!!!"

That should be their real tagline.

why is he always presenting his butthole to Bandido?
what's going on?

>>20052667
That's the thing though. It's easy to say that about Hobbs now because he's just starting there. Granted he's up there in age and may not make it the farthest. But Cody could've returned and ended up right back where he left depending on reactions and shit like that you know? Point being is you have to bet on yourself sooner or later. Even if Hobbs doesn't end up main eventing Mania, which obviously is a long shot, he's at least there and can try and make the most of whatever he can. Even being a midcard champion is more notable than being a world champion in AEW. People won't like that, but it's true
>>
>>20052274
Wasn't this guy's entire gimmick about going to WWE for years and how he was above being in AEW?
>>
I don't understand why this always makes e-drones mad, I thought they cared about stories not wrestling?
>>
>>20053465
Yeah, he spent years talking about The Bidding War of '24, then Tony put the belt on him and he was completely exposed for how green and shitty he really is. Then he got injured. Then he returned and turned face and he was even worse. WWE doesn't want MJF, so now MJF has to pretend he never wants to go to WWE.
>>
>>20052424
This just sucks
>>
>>20053465
This. MJF was actually based when he was shitting on Tony to get boos and calling him a money mark and shit. As soon as he came back with that tattoo and became another company shill, his whole schtick died.
>>
>>20053518
>>20053595
enjoy danhausen lol
>>
>>20053619
I'd take Danhausen over Hangfag and current boring MJF any day. Sorry if you have to pretend that it's a bad thing because Tony fumbled him
>>
Mjf is right. Ricky & Maria should be paid for putting aew out of business.
>>
>>20053632
>Sorry if you have to pretend that it's a bad thing because Tony fumbled him
yeah dude im sure you would love sonny kiss since he was in aew back then
>>
>>20053465
Yes that gimmick ended 2 whole years ago when he re-signed, they can't exactly do it a second time because he re-signed for like a bajillion years
>>
Hhh is as big as a wrestling nerd as Tony. Hhh luvs his toys from Tony.

Dan whatever sucks, & is part of what is ruining wwe. Hang & mjf need coaching & could b great IC champs.

Atleast he's sticking up for aew. In aew the wrestlers actually work hard & aren't 50yrs old. Go pay tko $500 to watch a shitty ppv
>>
>>20053692
MJF sure. Hangfag nah. I'd put both of the Motor city machine guns over him and they can barely get on the show. His best bet would be latching onto to someone as a mediocre tag team. No way in hell is he getting over in WWE with his leftist pandering no charisma overly verbose for no reason promos

Hang would have to get into much better shape for wwe. But he has found a following. If he's over 6' I think hhh would put the mid card nxt belt on him.

Why are AEW wrestlers so insecure?
>>
>>20052361
They've both been champions on a show that's more popular than AEW.
>>
>>20053872
so is their fanbase. So is their shills like Meltzer. It's a trickle-down insecurity starting at the top from Tony. He presents himself and the company that way and they all parrot his behavior
>>
>>20052274
I love how all these wrestlers are coming out defending AEW and it all boils down to:
>"The Money Mark pays me too much to go to WWE."

I think they also realize that they're just not good enough to be a WWE Main Eventer
>>
>>20053872
Chronic lil bro syndrome. Starts at the top with Tony, trickles down through the talent, and goes all the way down to the fans. It's what the entire promotion was built on and the exact audience it caters to. From day one when they had Cody smashing that throne they made sure you knew that they were fighting upwards against WWE, positioning themselves below them. They could've just done their own thing and had their own shows, but they just HAD to let you know what the pecking order was. And it became a self fulfilling prophecy
>>
>>20053884
>>20053963
They can NEVER just promote their own stuff. Ospreay, Swerve, MJF, they can never stop talking about WWE. And whenever somebody decides to leave to go to WWE, their fans hound them like when somebody leaves Scientology. They went from loving Blake Monroe to driving her to tears because she had the nerve to get her dream job after being the best part of TNA for a couple years.
>>
>>20053963
I mean, you have to be bold in order to compete. They really lose nothing besides looking pathetic to smarks; it's the same thing with ECW ranting about WCW/WWF poaching talent, spoiling results or saying their PPVs sucked.
>>
>>20054014
There's a difference between being bold and making your show about the place you're competing with. The latter has always backfired
Vince tried it with his Turner bits and those flopped
WCW spoiling WWF's results bit them in the ass in a huge way
Look at TNA. They spent so fucking long lil bro'ing themselves to WWE and it just cemented their place more and more each time
ECW talking about WCW and WWF taking their talent was a shoot though. That wasn't them making the show about those places. That was them addressing actual shit that was happening behind the scenes

>>
>>20053986
>to driving her to tears
The funny part about that which actually proves your point is I've watched that video and that isn't even what she cries over. She starts talking about her journey of moving countries and leaving her life at home behind and how far she's come since she was just a fan and blah blah blah and it overwhelms her. That's all. After she cries for a second she gets into how she feels she has to be careful because of people who pick apart what she says. To your point those exact people do just that and twisted her shit to fit their narrative because they are still mad she left

>>20054959
WWE can't even pay their own Mania and have to cut ticket prices, it'll never happen lil bro. Dub gods win again. Another victory for the good guys.
>>
>>20055291
Sure about that one?
>>
>>20055298
yes WWE is so culturally irrelevant now and its popularity has plunged to such low levels that the only way to make money is to fleece their retarded super fans.
