“I was sitting in the same room you were at your event at Starcast. Tony and I had just, Tully and I had just come back from the stage, and he was next. MJF was next. And I’d never seen him. And he started taking questions, and I saw him easing up to the edge, easing up to the edge, and swoosh, I’ll never forget it!”

 

“I couldn’t believe he was given Carte Blanche to do it. Now listen, I’ve said some iffy things to people over the years, but when the kid rolled up there to the podium in the wheelchair, and he said to MJF, ‘how are you doing?’ And he looked at him and went, ‘Better than you.’ I swallowed my teeth. This is a kid in a wheelchair. And, woo! I think that says everything that you need to say.”

MJF recently joined Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle after beating the former AEW World Champion. He went on to win his second Diamond Ring after beating Orange Cassidy last year in December.
