MJF had a special moment with Brodie Lee following his passing through a Medium.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Maxwell Jacob Friedman was picked to help promote the upcoming Reebok sneakers for Brodie Lee that launch on July 1. While discussing the shoes, Friedman shared a highly emotional story of communicating with Lee following his passing.
“This is a cool one. July 1st, Champ Sports they’re coming out with a Brodie Lee Exalted One pair of kicks. I’m not a sneakerhead,” MJF admitted. “I’m more of a dress shoe guy myself. But an opportunity to talk about Brodie Lee here is an opportunity that I welcome. For the period of time that I did work with him, he was a massive human being.
“And I don’t mean that in size; I mean that in heart and soul and spirit. When he walked into a room, you noticed him. He was just a genuinely down-to-earth, dare I say, salt-of-the-earth person. If there’s one story I’d want to talk about, and it’s a zany one. After my grandfather had passed, which is around a similar time to Brodie’s passing, I had went to a Medium, which I didn’t believe in whatsoever.
“I’m talking to the Medium, and they’re saying stuff about my grandfather that they couldn’t possibly have known, and they’re telling me how my grandfather is on the other side, and it was honestly really both enlightening and it made me feel good, and before I left, they said, ‘Whoa, there’s this big individual that has just walked into the room, he’s got a big scraggly beard, and he said he needs you to send a message to his wife.’ and I’m like, who the hell is this? And the Medium looks at me and goes, ‘His wife’s name is Amanda.’
Brodie Lee asked MJF to give a message to his wife via a Medium
At this point, Friedman realized it was Brodie Lee, and he was talking about his wife, AEW employee Amanda Huber.
“Amanda Huber,” MJF continued. “So immediately, I’m freaked out, right? And the Medium starts talking to me, and I can tell she’s speaking the way that Brodie used to speak with me, very tongue-in-cheek, kind of ribbing me, and at the end, he says, ‘Can you please send this message to my wife?’ I’m not going to say what the message is. That’s between them.
“But I was obviously pretty spooked. And I walk up to Amanda at TV the next week, and I tell her this insane story. And her eyes start welling up because she was searching for this and she had got her answer that day. So, even in the afterlife, Brodie really loved and cared about his wife and kids.
“So for us to have the opportunity to be able to honor a man who was so powerful on this plane of existence and outside of this plane of existence, this is really cool, and I’m super stoked to put on these kicks.”
