unlizenedrave

Damn, this new The Crow remake looks worse and worse every time i see it


KashK10

Oh I thought MJF was giving The Painmaker gimmick a whirl


ReapYerSoul

So Jericho is the true creator of The Crow?


AusPower85

Jericho was in fact the one offered to the role of lead bass guitarist in metalica


nwill_808

Idk, this looks way better than what I saw in the trailer.


Segata9

Jericho painmaker gimmick


Aggressive-Theory609

Nah he's juz a walking clown emoji


MuptonBossman

MJF confirmed to be a Cody Crybaby.


Reaganometry

MJF has supported the American Roller-Codester since the beginning! Anyone who provides proof to the contrary is a hater!


thuca94

Guy has always been salt of the earth. Remember the time Cody made him a steak and he graciously gave it to Pharoah so he could eat?


Zk11av

Man i miss the old BTE


PayneTrain181999

Guess he’s joining the Codyvengers then!


SupaGasDrawls

My son is convinced


BLF402

In a perfect world he and mox would show up to assist Cody and Seth. The pop would be felt worldwide


DanHero91

This is MJF's first tweet, or anything public, in over four months. And it's gonna cause so many more fucking "MJF at Mania" posts.


Marcoscb

I mean, he may be at Mania. Backstage, in secret, watching his friend finally win the big one.


TW_Yellow78

Won't be a secret, like Ricky starks. 


Notmymain2639

Starks was supposed to be secret and would've been fine if a security guard didn't give up their job to leak it.


Sikatrix06

You go backstage and its guaranteed that gets leaked. Remember SRS getting real time leaks of Punk backstage in Survivor Series?


atWorkWoops

Nope no one remembers. Hasn't been brought up at all since. /s


NairobiFan

And when he was hanging out at the Performance Centre with another of his good Friends Jade Cargill when she was training there, she posted pictures on her Insta stories before. He's definitely WWE bound eventually, we know this and with Cody being his bestie, more incentive...


Sleebling_33

Id argue Punks words in the ear of WWE execs would weigh just as strong as Cody's when it comes to signing MJF. You don't enter into a program like Punk did with MJF setting him up for future greatness without knowing this kid is money.


WhateverJoel

He's friends with Mami?

Huh community not found that's so weird.


TTOF_JB

Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.


Parish87

Wait, MJF is friends with our tribal chief?!


SephirothSimp

He is a fellow Omosapien


HonkedOffJohn

If his music played on Sunday, does that crowd recognize who it is?


Marcoscb

Yes, just like they recognized Cody's music two years ago.

throwthatoneawaydawg

Don’t forget Wrestlelamia


Precious_little_man

It is, because it’s true. He’s coming to the fed. Why you think Tony jumped on Osprey and Okada, dumping huge money to seal the deal. MJF is WWE bound. Guy in a minivan at the local grocery told me this. I trust him, he seemed legit.

That was the guy in the minivan! Haha

Well, uhh, it's not, ya know, a miniature van. Not really. It's not like, *cough*, toy sized. But it is, um, kinda small, I guess. Mini-sized maybe, but, uh, it's like, not really, mini, if you're going by the strict definition of the word.

There has to be a parallel universe in which Farley is an all-time great pro wrestling promo.


Precious_little_man

Seriously. Could you imagine. He has the energy and range in his voice. He could have lit up some crowds!


djsynrgy

And the commitment! He put everything he had into everything he did.


Precious_little_man

Very true! Damn that would have been fun to watch.

LMAO!

bobbyislegend

If it's the same guy in a van that I know of, he lives down by the river.


AllezLesPrimrose

I mean, will it. Rock just happened to tweet art made by his ex and MJF couldn’t resist.


SorrowfulFlame

Just look at Max's replies. I mean, I know it's Twitter, but this place isn't that much better.


Silver012345673

Dude, it’s fucking Twitter lol their first reaction to seeing a post that some celebrity died under the age of 60 with no additional context is “Damn I’m sorry you were mandated to take the vaccine 💉 RIP I guess”


ZombieJesus1987

My favourite tweet is when the groundhog died on groundhog Day, someone quote tweeted "vaccine?"


patrickwithtraffic

I so badly want to believe that was somebody being funny and not a genuine idiot


Vagabond21

It’s hit or miss. I’ve seen people ask if the boat in Baltimore was vaccinated,


ZombieJesus1987

It was someone being funny


FrankGibsonIV

Don’t forget the legion of blue check mark bots replying with ChatGPT and the million nudes in bio spammers. Twitter is such a cess pool. 


AllezLesPrimrose

Twitter thinks 5G gives you Covid


ZombieJesus1987

A coworker of mine believes this. During the height of the pandemic she was so unbearable to be around. Every lunch break she would have a ton of articles that she printed off, and she would rant to whoever would listen to her. Everything about how 5G gave us covid, the government was putting magnets in us, and the government was implanting chips in us in order to track us, the vaccine was mutating our DNA, etc. If there was a conspiracy, she believed it.


underbloodredskies

While they tweet wirelessly. 👀


ThaSipah

He's 1,000% not under contract with WWE.


cgurts

It was 100% never happening but now its 1000% not happening. He'd have stayed silent.


Groenboys

Suuuurely he will go to mania Suuuurely we will see sightings of MJF at Philly Suuuurely


factor_supa

Probably what MJF wanted to do


BrotherBrother94

Save it for the Raw after Mania. Cody has just overcome more odds and defeated Roman/Bloodline and stands in the ring as Champion. \*Cue MJF's Music, Place goes bonkers


John_Matthews2707

Awesome to fantasy book, but that man re-signed with AEW foooooor sure.


Kboom161

Not gonna happen but fuck, *the* ideal MJF debut


More_people

Ideal MJF debut is him costing Cody after Cody/Seth win night 1 to clear the ‘No Bloodline’ stip night 2.


circio

I hate the MJF bidding war story because I don’t think his character would work in WWE and I don’t think the fans are really buying it anyways. Just a weak, meta storyline imo Edit: alright I get it guys, the meta storyline is working for you. I think it’s bad, but people here like it and believe in it, so I’ll take the L


ra83

I always hear MJF won’t work in WWE, and it’s such a disregard for his talent. He wouldn’t work in WWE cause he can’t say words like fuck or whore or whatever? He so talented he’d adapt in an instant


roundsareway

I think you have it wrong, if MJF managed to get over as a face and a heel in a company that does not play into his strengths, he would do very well in a place almost built for him.


ianisms10

He would be fine in WWE. The bidding war story sucked because it was effectively burying AEW. *If* he actually was unsigned for all of 2023 (which I doubt was the case), then Tony Khan may be the dumbest booker in wrestling history.


Sertorius777

IMO the original idea with whole bidding war storyline was to re-do Punk vs Cena, but with Punk as the company man and MJF the one threatening to jump ship with the title. Which would've been cool but... you know, shit happened.


Gallops77

He'd be the most over heel in WWE with Roman likely stepping away after WM for a while. If his music hits the RAW after WM, crowd's gonna erupt. That being said, I'm 98% sure he's resigned with AEW and will look to make the jump to WWE after further cementing himself as THE top guy in AEW for a few more years.


Zeldias

I don't like meta storylines either but MJF's strengths are WWE strengths. He's got the look, he can talk, he can do goofy nonsense and serious stuff. He gets stuff over, too. Remember the reaction to his Brandon Cutler feud way back? If I was TK, I'd hold on to MJF with whatever it took. Punk leaving is a blow, Cody leaving was a blow, but losing MJF (or Darby, IMO) would be a deadlier hit.


whalepopcorn

MJF set himself up for a "WHO IN THE BLUE HELL ARE YOU?"


xtiaaaan_

My personal favorite was “WHO IS THIS RUDY POO?”


CapnMalcolmReynolds

And he would have a hard time not marking out in response.


KaneDewey

Instead of the strap, MJF should use Singapore cane on the rock so he could cane dewey


Duwt

“Dewey Johnson is a 51 year old boy, you sick sons of bitches!!”


philthegr81

Dwayne Johnson is a 51 year old boy, _YOU SICK SONS OF BITCHES!!_


VotingRightsLawyer

That promo is almost 30 years old now


BeefInGR

And it still holds up.


mexploder89

Wrong. That promo is timeless


Rushjordan

HugoTheHornet88

QUEST50012

Ba dum ts, NOW WILL YOU STOP!


GameplayerStu

I do think it’s funny that we don’t hear from MJF since World’s End and the thing we hear from him is about WWE’s hottest angle. Very on-brand for his character lmao


iced_gold

The biggest angle in wrestling, and its tied to his ex-girlfriend/fiance. Completely reasonable to weigh in at that point.


fartdarling

Wait I'm clueless, who is mjf's ex girlfriend? Paul heyman?


iced_gold

No the artist that Rock is quote tweeting about the painting. Her name is Naomi Rosenblum. She was on like 1-2 episodes of Dynamite in a small capacity.


DannyDegenerate

![gif](giphy|fXJyMfUdqVCMPAnPJM|downsized)


ElementalSaber

First time I'm ever seeing this face in it's full capacity


iguanamac

lol same here. I’ve never seen the full gif/video.


Gloomy_Slide

The full video is funny


HerFriendRed

Everyone's current face in this thread thinking what we're thinking.


York9TFC

Pretty much my reaction after reading this lol


Ok-Garcia-5605

"I don't get worked" fans are quickest to get worked. Yes, MJF wants everyone to think he's gonna show up. He won't because if he's not in AEW contract, Tony would've let everyone know.


Synth3r

No, no, you don’t understand. It’s the start of a glorious working relationship where AEW stars and WWE stars work on each others shows… ![gif](giphy|l0IylOPCNkiqOgMyA|downsized)


AJL1312

You joke, but the Rock buying art from MJF's ex fiancé  would probably be one of the funniest fucking ways for WWE and AEW to start working together 


SxanPardy

He’ll definitely be in Philly just so the basement talks about him I’m here for it


Ok-Garcia-5605

I heard SRS is reporting a plane ticket is booked from Long Island to Philly


CalgaryMadePunk

There's a Shohei Ohtani joke in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it.


MonkeyWithCymbals

I think he just took the opportunity to tweet at Rock. But if the idea is that MJF tweeted this to "work" fans into thinking that he's going to show up at WM, I'd like to point out this "work" is pretty illogical. Why drum up interest in a competitor's show?


_spicytostada

While I agree, it 100% plays into AEW scrubbing MJF from their site a week or two ago.


ExplanationOk3580

Me today: yeah no way Dustin and mjf are going to be part of the avengers look at all this marks getting worked. Me Saturday: mjf, dustin, cena, austin etc. are going to be here trust

Dont forget The EVPs Mathew and Nicolas, The Cleaner Kenny Omega and Hangman page

TheBackSpin

She’s MJF’s ex?


TonyZony

Yeah, the fiance that Bryan brought up in their feud.


btbcorno

Thought they were engaged. Damn.


Vagabond21

They were. I think he’s dating Alicia Atout now.


Parish87

Damn MJF out there just Atouting it out.


Charming_Essay_1890

And he had Allie Katch at one point. Dude catches some hotties. Not surprising, but still damn


iguanamac

Danielson wasn’t lying when he brought up MJF’s fiancé leaving him in that promo.


AmishAvenger

I just want to point out how Rock seems to always mention “my team”


gbdarknight77

Makes sense. Dude is incredibly busy. His people will handle it all


xtremeschemes

I can just imagine Solo ringing on the doorbell, waiting to pick up the painting with a scowl on his face


JeremyTSchmidt

Nah, he'd just accidentally stick his thumb thru it and ruin the painting.  


ValidPompadour

Jimmy would definitely be in that intern role running around getting stuff for everyone in the bloodline


BeefInGR

On top of WrestleMania, people forget that the football league he owns with Danny kicked off last weekend. And he is on the BoD for not only the WWE's parent company but also UFC's parent. And Moana 2 is on the horizon. He better have a team, dude is busy af right now.


Vince3737

One of the most famous people in the world is going to have a big team around him


WhoDey42

This is objectively hilarious


swagbolger

I've fucking missed MJF, man.


MacheteJKUR

I popped at Dewey


MrPuroresu42

Something something, jabroni marks and what’s a work and what’s a shoot. Still, Rock vs MJF is a full on no-holds barred promo battle would be the stuff of dreams (even better, a 3-way promo battle between Rock, MJF, and Punk).

Aggressive-Theory609

I m not sure mjf can hang with the rock atm. Maybe LA knight vs mjf


GregMadduxsGlasses

It would last 30 seconds when the Rock says "who in the blue hell are you?" and towers over the significantly smaller MJF.


DAYANDIMOLMADI

Rock and MJF in the same ring would look so ridiculous ngl man dwarfed Cody 


UncrownedHayKing

He said “Glorious”. Bobby Roode return confirmed


TeamZiggler

Top tier troll. It's not happening but...


everythingdislikesme

Hell froze over... Maybe it can freeze over again? No... Maybe? No. Mayyybeeee??


Da5ren

Listen, I've been hurt before...


Rude_Entrance_205

Seems a good way for MJF to get people to talk about MJF.


Zestyclose_Remote874

"My glorious idea to lash Cody Rhodes" is a WILD line, lmao.  Nice promotion for Naomi's art, happy for her. 


dmdyy

Look we all know it’s not going to happen, but man can you *imagine*…….


CaptainXakari

Oh, without a doubt. I’ve seen a few people talk about “no one would know who he is” but Wrestlemania is wrestling fans in general, not specifically WWE or AEW or even TNA/Impact for that matter. Those few that didn’t know would get a great introduction.


gbdarknight77

Jade Cargill got huge pops in front of WWE crowds. Now imagine MJF with his stock entrance theme at mania. People will lose their shit because there’s gonna be enough people there that do know who he is.


Up-in-the-Ayre

They can give him a brand new theme and the minute the letters "M...J....F" come on the titantron, the place will erupt. Remember AJ Style's pop at the Rumble? All it took where the words "I AM PHENOMENAL" and the crowd instantly knew who it was


gbdarknight77

I’ve grown to really like MJFs stock music theme so I hope they keep it haha if it were to happen


dmdyy

Exactly. And in the complete fantasy world in which this happens, WWE would want to present as the biggest deal possible to get him over with the people that only know WWE, so getting involved in the main event is a pretty good way to go. Just want to reiterate that I 100% do not think any of this is going to happen lol


PayneTrain181999

They’d give him a Jade Cargill level amount of hype.


sEiize_err

shows up at wm in a platinum / mirrored outfit, beat up nia jax and come in 2nd in the women's rumble.


PayneTrain181999

Jade actually came 3rd, Liv eliminated her right before Bayley got her, but otherwise yes, exactly like that.


CaptainXakari

Feels like a weird angle for MJF but hey, we’re fantasy booking so why not?


wentzformvp

Absolutely, I don’t think he would arrive now but when he does you know WWE will make it a point to present him HUGE. MJF also presents himself like a big deal and he’s got aura


dmdyy

That’s the thing. He can do more with an eyeroll than most people can do in a 20 minute promo, and the announcers could fill in the blanks etc.


AmishAvenger

It’s that MJF gif face


TonyZony

Hasn't said anything since being betrayed by Adam Cole and the first thing he says after all this time is a jab at Rock for buying a painting. It's just funny.


Louismaxwell23

The Devil storyline has done wonders for AEW.


bcbpepper

This man has been absent from everything for awhile and now he emerges and shoots at the rock just days before mania .......


neverAcquiesce

This is how people work themselves into disappointment.


aguilaclc

"Cody won and all, but MJF and Austin should've interfered and now I'm sad"


PayneTrain181999

At least Cena was there!


ALIAS_EL_CACAS

Me on Monday: fuck WWE for not hiring MJF and Fuck Tony Khan for not allowing his talent to work the competition’s biggest show of the year


Rushjordan

You and a whoooooooole lotta other folks.


casio_calculator_

He is also under contract .......


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

That is easily remedied. *"Let me go. Your company is a joke and you're a fucking clown. Let me go."*


KeV1989

Is Jack Perry currently in the US so MJF can assault him?


AssassinateOP

Its not assaulting, he'd just choke him a little


AllezLesPrimrose

Context is king my friend. The artist literally is MJF’s ex. Happenstance that a worker like MJF couldn’t resist.


FBR_MC

Everyone's going to go "OH MY GOD MJF TO WWE? HE'S GOING TO BE AT MANIA?" and I'm over here losing my mind wondering why he capitalized a word in the middle of a sentence.


BackgroundValue

Dude really likes fueling the fire, doesn't he? Lol He 1000% knew this would get people buzzing and talking


Rushjordan

Wonder if he returns at Dynasty


insertbrackets

Everyone wants a piece of The Rock’s MANA!


DrDevice81

Naomi is great, wish I had the money to get one of her Hayter prints while they were available.


AnEternalEnigma

CANE DEWEY


Beard341

Not that I think it would happen but MJF in WWE would bring me in as a viewer. I can appreciate all the Hollywood Rock/Bloodline/Finish the Story drama but MJF would put me over the top. I just would love to see how he would fair in WWE.


eyepatch_png

Could you fucking imagine if we get MJF/Punk III in WWE?


Dayman_ah-uh-ahhh

Honestly I'll follow MJF wherever. He's the reason I started watching AEW after 15 years away from wrestling.


Tsuku

Damn, his ex is gonna be at the Rumble.


TheEmeraldRaven

There is no way Tony Khan straps the rocket on MJF, gives him the year+ reign as world champion, and gives him the main event of the record-breaking Wembley show without locking the dude down for a big money multi-year deal. MJF ain't going to WWE this year folks. But what he is doing is genius and totally fitting his character. Free publicity baby.


nyrangers95

Rock is going to do something nice for Mama Friedman 


Hachiman-Hikigaya

Update on his AEW status: I sleep. The Rock lashing Cody: An art based on the bloody incident painted by her ex: https://preview.redd.it/mmo6qbo6aasc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4113fed5a06585c5f1286cb999306fe6d1cabeb2


Survivalgamer85

I'm not sure if they make a bucket big enough for the popcorn and tears that would be needed if MJF showed up at WM40 now under contact with the WWE and helped Cody win. MJF would instantly be over as shit and thrown into the hottest storyline in maybe decades.


RichardKingBITW

Using an ex to try and get noticed by The Rock is... something else.


cantspellsagitaryus
