MJF’s return at AEW Double or Nothing stirred nostalgia among fans as he sported a jean jacket reminiscent of Triple H’s iconic return at Madison Square Garden in 2002.
During a conversation with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, MJF shed light on this homage and mentioned that the Jean Jacket really meant something to him as a kid.
“The jean jacket was over what I feel is my leather jacket, but that jean jacket was certainly an homage to a return that meant something to me when I was a kid in Madison Square Garden,” Friedman shared. “I’m sure people can connect the dots.”
Beyond the sartorial nod, MJF’s return was accompanied by a video showcasing his journey through his opulent Long Island abode, reminiscing on the multitude of memorable moments he’s crafted in a remarkably brief span.
From the electrifying dog collar match to the epic confrontations with wrestling luminaries like CM Punk and Bryan Danielson, MJF’s résumé reads like a highlight reel of modern wrestling history. Not to mention his unforgettable encounters with legends like William Regal and his triumphs in events like the Dynamite Diamond Ring battle royale and the infamous Dinner Debonair.
Asserting his dominance with bold actions, such as the infamous “pipe bomb” in LA and the ruthless antics against adversaries like Cody, MJF exudes a charisma and prowess unmatched by his peers.
“I’ve created some of the greatest moments in the history of the business, and I’ve only been on national television for an extraordinarily short period of time.”
At just 28 years old, MJF boldly declares his Hall of Fame caliber career, standing alone as a singular force in the annals of wrestling history. As he continues to carve his path to greatness, MJF remains a unique and unparalleled talent in the world of professional wrestling.
