MJF Confirms That No Showing Double Or Nothing Meet And Greet Was A Shoot In New Interview

MJF confirms that he was shooting from the hip when it came to missing the meet and greet during Double Or Nothing weekend.

Speaking to Sam Roberts on NotSamWrestling, MJF was asked why he missed the meet and greet.

“My company lost $10,000 that day, and I say my company because they are employing me. For the time being. I did not go because my boss, at that time, was being a fucking mark. If you don’t want to pay me what I’m worth, daddy does not show up to work. Daddy got the money. Daddy is back. Now me and Tony Khan are best friends. Tony Khan, great guy. When I stayed in said hotel room, they did a wellness check on me and the AEW security, this is a very true story, tried to break my door down. At the time, I had already left. They did the check, he literally went to kick my door down on a wellness check. That was everybody’s fear. ‘Is this MJF’s Brian Pillman moment?’ No, it was MJF trying to make what MJF deserves to be making. I have understood that there are some people who were really let down or offended. What I say to you is, I don’t care, get over it. I’m happy now. If you’re a fan of me, you should be happy too because I’m stupid…..I was rich before, but now I’m so rich I don’t even know what to do,” he said. “If you want the fans to see me and experience me on any level, pay me what I’m worth. He did, and we’re cool.”

MJF to NotSamWrestling

Though MJF was stretchered out at AEW Double or Nothing after Wardlow powerbombed him into oblivion, he did appear on the subsequent episode of AEW Dynamite where he begged Khan to fire him and called him a “fucking mark.” MJF would return to AEW at All Out, winning the Casino Ladder Match as The Joker.
