MJF Pissed At AEW & Tony Khan? "F*ck This Place Man"
MJF tweets, then deletes, an angry response to AEW president Tony Khan.
AEW star MJF tweeted, then deleted, an angry outburst aimed at company founder and president Tony Khan on Thursday, doing so in response to comments made by Khan during his pre-Double Or Nothing 2022 pay-per-view media call.
On the call, Khan was asked for his thoughts on MJF's current contract situation, with the rising star reportedly frustrated at a number of issues in the promotion - including his pay. Khan stated that he feels it is good when genuine conflict bleeds through into storylines, adding that the storyline is good for MJF in that it allows him to air real grievances (h/t Fightful):-
"Wrestling thrives when real life meets on-screen. The real-life conflict is often just as exciting as any conflict on-screen, which is one of the good things about what AEW has brought to the wrestling business. There was no real, major free agent market with the top stars crossing promotions, debuting, and frankly the competition needed to be brought to the biggest stage. With the 90s, we had TBS and TNT in the wrestling game. With the launch of AEW, we’ve been able to bring that back. Taking what is happening in real with potential movement and contract negotiations is exciting. Adding another element to what will be a very exciting match at Double or Nothing with Wardlow and MJF, who has been very vocal, not only about his own contract but about his former bodyguard and how he feels and he’s tried to hold down his career. For Wardlow, this is a huge opportunity to officially be part of AEW and to shed an image that he’s just MJF’s heavy and MJF’s thug. For MJF, it’s been a great opportunity to not only air some real-life grievances and air his actual status, contractually or otherwise. People are really excited about the fight at Double or Nothing on Sunday."
Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, who was live-tweeting during the call, was quickly quote-tweeted by MJF, who posted the following:-
"F*cking lol. F*ck this place man"
Although MJF's tweet was deleted hastily, Reddit user u/PhillyShawny captured it via screenshot.
MJF's currently AEW contract runs until early 2024. Per the latest reporting on the matter, the 26-year-old remains frustrated with his situation and is leaning towards leaving the company.
