Tony Khan: AEW Executives and I Are Proud of What MJF Is Doing Both Inside the Ring and In Acting
Tony Khan loves the work he has seen from MJF in the last couple of years.
When he is not being a liar or a cheater in the squared circle, MJF is often seen on the set for a movie or parading around why he is the greatest thing wrestling has seen. A statement that Tony Khan gives props to and from the recent matches that MJF has had, Khan says executives and himself are proud of what the former AEW World Champion has been doing in all aspects of his career choices.
“I mean, MJF’s not the most popular guy backstage. Most of the wrestlers don’t really like him very much. So I would say that among some of the villains of AEW, there is some camaraderie. A guy like maybe Don Callis or Okada, I think those guys are probably happy for MJF. But a lot of the fan favorites in AEW really don’t like MJF very much. So that being said, everybody is very impressed with what he’s doing. He is a really hardworking guy, and I am very impressed with MJF. I think he’s an incredible wrestling talent. When he focuses on the wrestling… I think MJF is one of the best, but he always takes shortcuts. He’s always trying to cheat his way to the top. I don’t even think he needs to, is the truth. He’s really gifted wrestler and a student of wrestling, a student of the history of wrestling and a student of technical wrestling. Also MJF is a student of acting now and he’s doing a great job with it. He’s filming another movie right now. For AEW, the executives, we are proud of what MJF is doing. even if he’s not the most popular guy with some of the fans or the other wrestlers. He’s a huge part of AEW, and he’s working really hard. He just had two incredible matches last weekend in two different countries. He had an incredible match Friday night at the CMLL anniversary show in Mexico City against Mistico. It’s one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. Then he went up to Toronto and had another classic, hardcore, hard-hitting fight and the tables and tacks match with Mark Briscoe at AEW All Out, which is one of the best shows we’ve ever done in AEW. So kudos to MJF big time.” – Tony Khan on Going Ringside.
