It would be pretty funny if MJF no shows and they have Wardlow “go get him”

Obvious solution for this; Swap MJF’s contract for Sasha & Naomi’s.

AEW posted an MJF-Wardlow preview video earlier today on their YouTube channel, but have now removed it... doesn't seem good

I just can’t see MJF robbing his friend and guy who helped make him into the star he is of his moment they’ve been building to for 2 years. Unless the beef with Khan is that intense or Wardlow is ok with it. |

I wouldn’t say I’m hard, rtd. It’s frustrating and annoying that it has to get to this point because TK is such a douchebag. MJF wants to go to the big leagues before next year because he’s not a mark.

I predicted DON might be the last time we see MJF. Maybe we don’t even get him there.

I’ll post it in the other thread, but now even Meltzer and Alvarez are saying talent wants to get the fuck out of there. Meltzer is not going to report stories that makes AEW look bad if he can avoid it.

Lol, AEW fans are rejoicing that the Samoa Joe no-show story was a miscommunication issue like a miscommunication issue isn’t fucking embarrassing.

Who do you think they get to replace MJF? I’m thinking it will be Shawn Spears and Matt Cardona. You always know that Cardona is just around a corner waiting for a shot.

Yeah, for whatever reason, I don’t expect player/coach to stand up for the player here.

They should get Ryback, just so Punk can direct some of his petty hate towards The Big Guy, then maybe Punk will forget to remind Tiny not to use Colt on TV every now and then.

I mean, a locker-room leader might get Tony on the phone and tell him to make things right to get the match into the ring.

If MJF was smart he would use his own money to start a new wrestling company and immediately hire THE RYBACK

MJF as a free agent is an interesting proposition.
I wonder if anyone would follow him if he’s been dicked around in this entire situation like I suspect. Get FTR and Bryan Danielson free, pls. |

It's weird for me because i'm usually more excited for aew ppvs than this but i think maybe the tv product just hasn't been hooking me as much latelty

Oh well, no use continuing to speculate. If he shows he shows.

I want to be on MJFs side in this but he does seem to be throwing a bit if a temper tantrum. Hopefully it's all a work and we can all just watch AEW and be happy.

I just hope it’s not a mental breakdown or something like that. And selfishly I don’t want him to be done with wrestling, although if it’s his choice, good for him. I think the least likely scenario is that he’s being a spoilt brat. There are a few AEW defenders that seem to be ready to accept that, but I think it’s more likely to be TK’s mismanagement. MJF wouldn’t have many supporters in the business if he’s kicking up a stink for no reason. If it comes out that TK has dicked MJF around, I’d be shocked if the vets in the locker-room didn’t show some sort of solidarity with him. Unless their contracts are so big they don’t give a shit about promotional conduct or their egos are fragile enough that they see MJF leaving as a threat to their relevancy removed. FTR and Danielson seem like prime guys to be like “No, this is not okay.” |

For MJF to walk out before delivering on his deal with Wardlow instead of after is a big sign to me that something wasn’t made good on. If this was just “holy fuck, get me out of this shithole” there’s no reason for MJF to not go out there and get obliterated by his buddy then tell Tony Khan he quits. That MJF hasn’t even gone in the building suggests he’s been dicked over and he’d feel vindicated in not placating them.

It seems like TK is willing to give him more money but wants him to sign an extension. MJF wants more money now and wants the ability to be able to either renegotiate or jump ship in 2024. Khan would be dumb to give him everything now only to have him leave in a year and a half, honestly. And honestly MJF doesn't have a lot of leverage considering this is the most stacked roster wrestling has had in a long time. It wouldn't take long to replace his spot on the card. I really like MJF and hope they work it out but he's going to turn into one of those "couldn't get out of his own way" guys if he isn't careful

It’s also a VICIOUS move to do this just before the WBD executives show up looking to see if this is a circus worth keeping. This wouldn’t just be “I want more money rn pls.” This is “fuuuuuuuck you.”
I mean, if this gets back to Discovery and they’re like “why isn’t your talent happy?” and that pushes them over to the side where they pass on wrestling, it could literally be the end of AEW. That’s not just asking for your release. There’s something bigger underlying this. |
