MJF offers an interesting comparison between All Elite Wrestling and Judaism.
AEW World Champion MJF recently spoke to SEScoops. When asked about Tony Khan’s comments on All Elite Wrestling being a challenger brand and constantly being under attack, Friedman agreed with Khan’s assessment and explained why it’s similar to Judaism.
“Yeah, well, here’s why. I’m actually going to relate this to Judaism because I’m very good at my job,” MJF said. “When you think about why people hate us and why we constantly get attacked. It’s because we’re different. And being different makes people uncomfortable.
“I genuinely feel the reason that a lot of the time, you’ll find a lot of — and don’t get me wrong, there’s most certainly constructive criticism online, genuinely, but you’ll find a lot of non-constructive criticism online. Just wild, irredeemably messed up shit that people are saying that is either untrue or just mean.
“And I think the reason that’s happening is Monday Night RAW is the longest-reigning episodic television show of all time. We have only been around for what, four and a half years? That’s new, that’s different, and that’s different. Different scares people. So, I actually do agree for once with Tony Khan’s assessment.
“And I think that’s the issue. I think the issue is we’re fresh. We’re new, we feel dangerous to people. And I kind of get off on that because I get to be the world champion of that danger and that change, just like I get to be a champion of the Jewish people.”
