MJF tweeted and then quickly deleted some thoughts on what he sees as problems with modern wrestling.
The comments come after another recent exchange on Twitter where he claimed he can do a number of acrobatic moves, but chooses not to.
In the now-deleted post, the AEW World Champion said that as long as fans cheer increasingly violent matches, wrestlers will continue to hurt themselves trying to win them over. He added that no amount of good feedback from fans on social media can pay medical bills if and when something goes wrong.
“The more wrestling fans become blood thirsty for these dangerous feats in the ring. The more the wrestlers will hurt themselves trying to curry fans favor.
wrestlers,
The fans don’t understand that at any given point we can be paralyzed from the neck down or even die from a maneuver as simple as a body slam. By the way fans reading this, bodyslams hurt, every move hurts.
They will keep moving the goal post of what they deem is “good”.
So before you do something stupid. Consider this, there tweet about your “banger” gonna pay for your medical bills?
Do the right thing. Go in that ring with the intention of winning the match and leaving the ring the same way you entered it.
Get the winners purse and get out.”
MJF To Return To Action At Double Or Nothing
Since arriving in AEW, MJF has been a regular fixture on television and has risen to become one of the biggest stars in the company. However, his in-ring appearances are something of a rarity. The star wrestled only nine times in 2022 and has competed just twice so far in 2023.
Despite this, he always laces up his boots for the big occasion and he will be back in action at Double or Nothing. MJF is currently wrapped up in a feud with Darby Allin, “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry, and Sammy Guevara, and is expected to face one, if not all three rivals at the event.
