In a recent interview with Insider, AEW President Tony Khan said that MJF had come up with the idea of doing his own version of the famous Scott Steiner Math promo from his TNA days. “TK” said,
“That particular one was him. Wrestling is all about collaborations and I really enjoy having that connection and the ability to create stories. We were putting down ideas for the week’s shows, and he did say that and it was a great idea. That’s how I like to put stories together. Sit down with MJF and Adam Cole, the three of us, and talk. I’ve shot videos with the two of them and they have this great partnership.”
MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe on Wednesday, September 20 at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.
With #AEW Grand Slam just around the corner and the #AEW World Championship on the line, the champion MJF gives us his "MJF Math" on his possible opponents, Samoa Joe & Roderick Strong.

Xavier Woods played the newly released Mortal Kombat 1 video game on UpUpDownDown. You can check that out below:
On a recent edition of his “Franchise University” podcast, former WWE Superstar Shane Douglas shared his experience of rewatching the first ECW pay-per-view event, Barely Legal from 1997, and how it doesn’t feel dated. He said,
“For me, it was a pleasure to go back and watch [ECW Barely Legal] because I look at it, and then I ask myself as I’m looking at it, ‘Does this look dated?’ … The answer is no. It looks like it could’ve been recorded the night before. When you watch WWF or WCW from that same timeframe, you can peg it to that timeframe, because it feels dated.”
