MJF: I Sh*t Out Gold Bricks And Don’t Even Mean To, I Bring Stability To AEW

MJF can’t help being as great as he is and hopes to walk out of Newark this weekend as AEW World Champion.

Ahead of AEW Full Gear, Maxwell Jacob Friedman sat down with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about his AEW World Championship match against Jon Moxley this Saturday night, Friedman made it clear he believes he will provide the company with a lot of awareness as the champion and will bring some stability to the company. Which is something MJF believes All Elite Wrestling hasn’t had a whole lot of lately.

“I f—king s—t out gold bricks, I don’t even mean to,” MJF said. “I think what I bring is not just an absurd amount of awareness in platforms that we have not touched yet, what I also bring is stability. Let’s face it, this world title, it’s crowned the greatest pro wrestlers in the world and the sport today, but it’s also been jumbled a little bit recently. I feel now more than ever what AEW wrestling fans crave is stability. I am that. I’ve been that since Day 1. When my music hits, the reason the place goes absolutely insane is because they’re fully aware they’re about to get the perfect segment because that’s what I do every time I walk through that curtain whether you love me or hate me. I deliver.”

Despite wanting to defeat him for the title this weekend, MJF has immense respect for Jon Moxley and admits that he’s “over the moon” to be Mox’s opponent at AEW Full Gear.

“This was a guy who during the height of the pandemic was defending his title, bleeding, sweating profusely in barbaric episodic week-to-week matches in front of no one, to a roar of nothing,” MJF said. “And he was still able to have people talking about the three letters that are AEW. That’s a guy who deeply cares about the fan base. That’s a guy who deeply cares about professional wrestling. So, in that aspect, I’m over the moon that I’m wrestling this guy.”

When questioned if he considers himself to be a babyface or a heel heading into AEW Full Gear this weekend, Friedman made it clear that he’s simply himself and people will react to him the way they want to.

“Being anything other than myself, fully authentically, doesn’t interest me. I am who I am,” MJF said. “People will react to me the way they want to react to me. That’s megastar s—t. That’s John Cena s—t. That’s Rock s—t. That’s [Hulk] Hogan s—t. There were times in their career when they would come through that curtain and they got the loudest boo and there were times where they came through that curtain and they got the loudest cheer. That’s what I bring to the table. Think people need to stop worrying about fake bulls—t labels and just enjoy this ride because I’m over as s—t and it is fun.”
