In a recent interview with Muscle & Fitness, AEW World Champion MJF offered his controversial views on a variety of topics, including his body and what he thinks of legends who came before him.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his physique: “It helps being filthy, dirty rich, as I am the AEW world champion. It also helps, just being born genetically better… In football, you’re told by your coaches to do lifts that, for some reason, you just don’t see people doing in the gym anymore, like lifts as simple as power cleans. And, when you do that, it puts you in a certain mindset for sure… of power, and stability, and just overall athleticism.”
On being himself: “I’m the first and last MJF, and I feel like I am the last of a dying breed as well, because you are right, everyone else is trying to be a carbon copy of somebody else. Everybody else is putting on this weird type of suit, I don’t gotta put on a suit, man. All I gotta do is go through the curtain and you’re going to find out what MJF is, quick. And, I promise you, whether you love me or hate me you are not gonna be able to stop looking.”
On the criticism of putting himself before the business: “I could give a s**t about the older guys. I wish they would all rot in hell and die already. It’s our time. Screw them, and screw the fans that like them still. I’ve had a phrase and a saying since I entered this business: talent over tenure. I believe in it whole heartedly, and if these old dogs don’t want to believe I’ll put them out of their misery myself. Just come for the champ, and I’ll do it.”
