In a recent interview as part of Casual Conversations With The Classic, All Elite Wrestling star MJF discussed several topics, including the injury at AEW Full Gear 2023 that kept him off AEW television for several months.

“In the Jay White match, I beat him on one leg by the way, no big deal, I hit an elbow drop from the top rope to the floor, because I was trying to impress people that I thought cared about me, later on I found out they didn’t. My hip popped out of socket, and because I thought those people cared about me, I fought through it for I think another 20 minutes. Jay hit me with a uranage off the top rope and I landed directly on my left shoulder and my labrum just snapped entirely in half.

It was the most pain I’ve ever been in in my entire life and then somebody tells me you need to do a press conference and I go oh, I love the wrestling fans, I’ll do a press conference and I’ll fight through these tears, and once again, wrestling fans showed me they don’t care about me, they made memes about it, they thought it was funny, hands down the most pain I’ve ever been in and nobody cared.”
