Even if you're unhappy you don't f*** over a dude you've closely worked with for years.

Guy is committing career suicide. If he pisses off AEW he's basically blackballing himself from Impact and NJPW as well, and WWE can lowball him knowing he really doesn't have any other options. Then there's his reputation with the boys given that he's giving Wardlow a huge kick in the balls here. And Vince's history with wanting people to honor their bookings before coming to WWE, says the WWE wouldn't go near him for awhile.

I wonder if there's some extra detail we just don't know about to all this, given MJF's deleted tweet the other day. Idk what extra detail could be so big that he no shows a meet and greet and has a flight booked out of Vegas, that's like... distressing. Like I hope he's ok if this is real, because it's a career altering move if it is real. For what it's worth, SRS specifically confirmed that MJF is fine physically in an earlier tweet.

It doesn’t really matter what was going on at this point. If you walk out right before you put over the guy you’ve been building a years long feud with, that’s an all time dick move. The kind of move that would make people never use you.

Wow if that's true, that definitely screws over Wardlow as the match has been a long time coming.

Yeah, this really, really sucks for Wardlow. I'm sure he'll still be super over, and maybe you can have him show up and crush some other heel to at least give him a moment on the show, but this should be a career-making weekend for him and it's just going up in smoke.

Well, there's one thing about MJF. I don't believe just about any story about him.

Oh I have no doubt WWE will bring him in at some point. But, he’s definitely not going to get the amount of money he thinks he’s worth. But if this is all a shoot, doing business this way is a good way of destroying your reputation.

That sucks, because Wardlow beating MJF would have been an iconic AEW moment.
I hope Wardlow still gets a match at DoN to make up for this.

Even if all of this MJF contract stuff is a work I still hate works for the sake of it...It just creates unnecessary hatred on sides where frustration shouldn't exist within the fanbase. I get swerving your fanbase...splitting it is strange.

I think MJF is reading the new Sheik book.

That Fightful write up is not making MJF look good at all. Obviously we don't know how true it is but if AEW genuinely tried to talk to MJF only for him to blow them off, this is 100% on him. At least talk to them and try and figure something out and if you don't like the offer, go from there.

Um... well, this is... something. I was on the "work" train as far as MJF was concerned, but the flight out of Vegas thing makes it iffy. I'm still gonna lean work, for now, until we get confirmation he actually got on the plane.
As for Joe, I have no clue what to even think about that.
