On top of that, dude has incredible leverage because it's been acknowledged that WWE would sign him in an instant if MJF were to become a free agent, so Tony Khan and other top executives in AEW aren't going to ask MJF to do things he just doesn't want to do if it's not in a contract or to MJF's benefit. This would be why Jericho had to go through the five labors, or why TK won't just buy out Wardlow's contract. Fair enough. Personally, if I were Khan I would say good riddance, f*** you and enjoy being Miz's latest lackey. I'm having a tough time telling right now if you're talking in or out of kayfabe or not.

“f*** I look like, I got goons for that”-MJF, probably

I've been talking in-universe, and I think Screwball is too. These aren't shoot contract demands, I think they're the in-universe excuses for the creative direction everyone there is pretty on-board with.

Checking Cagematch, MJF had 17 televised matches in 2021, 1 less than Roman Reigns (18) Are you trying to say MJF doesn’t wrestle a lot less than others in AEW? Because it definitely seems that way. I like it that way, too, makes his matches feel more special.

Sure, but he's one who is established to have a lawyer on-hand to do his bidding in wrestling, and who can get as nice a contract he wants. Lots of dates and payouts might be important to some wrestlers, but Max would've gone for a contract that'd let him do the opposite, and had the backup to get that deal for himself. On top of that, dude has incredible leverage because it's been acknowledged that WWE would sign him in an instant if MJF were to become a free agent, so Tony Khan and other top executives in AEW aren't going to ask MJF to do things he just doesn't want to do if it's not in a contract or to MJF's benefit. This would be why Jericho had to go through the five labors, or why TK won't just buy out Wardlow's contract. He's also established as being so good at pissing people off he can get them to agree to anything just to get their hands on him too, he doesn't need to bother wrestling to climb the ladder.

Has it been established why MJF is in wrestling, rather than focus on hookers and blow, if he is so damn rich? why did the Million Dollar Man?Or JBL? Why does a wrestling Zombie wrestle? Why someone that whole gimmick is being handsome take part of a sport with high chances of breaking your face? this is honestly a nonsense question that can apply to almost every character , they wanna be wrestlers that is all

Kayfabe reason is he's a rich wrestling fan trying to do the bare minimum to get ahead, whether that's wrestling few matches or using others to win his matches. He also thinks he's above wrestling in front of most fans.

There's only so many ways you can extend a feud after there was a match. Either you do a screwy finish (Punk in Chicago) or you promise to one up the first match with a gimmick (also Punk with the dog collar match) If you do that for every feud things are gonna get old quick.

I like it that way, too, makes his matches feel more special. I think MJF is also one of the few young guys AEW has that can get himself insane heat without needing to wrestle. I also think a big part of the MJF act right now is you are tuning him to see him get his ass whooped you are not tuning in to see him wrestle.
