MJF is confident that his era will begin at AEW Full Gear
MJF is preparing to headline the pay-per-view on Saturday when he challenges Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. Ahead of the bout, the 26-year-old spoke to Vulture about his journey to AEW’s top prize. He remains confident he’ll win the big one and shared bold claims about his future in the business, saying that he’ll do more for the industry than anyone has in a decade.
“Look who I’m talking to right now. Anne, this is my power. I’m talking to Vulture right now — a place that I think is fair to say doesn’t do much commentary on my sport. I went on Pardon My Take, the No. 1 sports podcast in the world. I’m about to be in a major motion picture.
“I think what you’re going to see is stability with the AEW World Championship if I win it. I think we are in the dawning of a new era. It’s the MJF era. We have the era of the Ric Flairs, the Dusty Rhodes, the Hulk Hogans, the Stone Colds, the Rocks, the Cenas. It’s my time. I say that with gumption and with honesty. It’s my time, and it’s my turn to make everybody talk about pro wrestling and make it the cultural Zeitgeist again in the world, because at one point it was, and pro wrestling is bubbling again, and we’re getting real close. All we need is a leader, and I’m ready to be that guy. I am ready to usurp anyone and everyone that thinks they’re up next, because guess what? No, you ain’t. I am. I am ready to do more for this business than anyone has in a decade.”
WrestleZone will have complete coverage of AEW Full Gear as it airs.
