At All Out, we would see the return of MJF to AEW. Written off TV with a fiery worked shoot promo following Double Or Nothing earlier in the year, MJF would seemingly refuse to make his way back to the ring unless AEW owner Tony Khan opened up his chequebook. Now with a shot at the AEW World Championship in his back pocket, MJF is confident in his future in the ring – but what about his goals beyond his time in the ring?
MJF Only Cares About Making Money, Doesn’t Want To Work Too Hard
While speaking on KFC Radio, MJF would be asked about if he would ever choose to start up his own promotion – perhaps even when he becomes a free agent in 2024. MJF would have the following to say on that topic, noting that his main motive is just to make money without being stressed out.
“I do genuinely think that I’m a prodigy, and I say that humbly, and then there is probably no one in the wrestling world that knows more and has a better wrestling IQ than me. Of course, I thought about it, if there was financial backing, if someone said, ‘Hey MJF, you’ll be the face of my company and you make the decisions, you make the calls, you decide who gets to go in the ring and doesn’t go in the ring.’ The most important thing to me is money, and if I can make an absurd amount of money without having to be stressed out of my effing mind…the only person you should be worried about is yourself.”
Later in that same interview, MJF would cycle back around to the topic – and claimed that he really doesn’t want to be in the shoes of Tony Khan or Triple H at this point of his career.
“I never want to have Tony Khan‘s job. I never want to have Triple H’s job. The amount of bullshit you have to go through. The only thing I want to worry about is me. If that means I get a difference in pay, but I’m getting paid just to be me and show up to work, once a week, come on.”
