MJF says that Danhausen becoming a success in WWE wasn’t a surprise to him in any way. The Very Nice, Very Evil One has been quite the success since he debuted for WWE at Elimination Chamber, becoming a heavy merchandise seller and getting a spotlight on TV.
MJF has known the WWE star and AEW alumnus for a long time, and he was asked on The Ariel Helwani Show about the latter’s success. He spoke highly of the now-WWE star, as you can see in the highlights below:
On If He’s Been Surprised By Danhausen’s Success In WWE:
“Not remotely. Danhausen rules, Danhausen has always ruled. Danhausen’s a great guy; Danhausen sells merch like a motherf**ker. And Danhausen the person behind the face paint, I’ve known him since I was literally — yeah, Jesus, 20. And he is as advertised. He so clearly pulls people in through his love of the business, if that makes sense.”
On If He Expected Danhausen To Be Pushed So Hard By WWE:
“Was I — what do you mean by pushed?… To me, professional wrestling television is — it’s like at bats [in baseball], right? So, there are certain guys if you put a bat in their hand and they’re up next, you might be like, ‘Uh, oh s**t.’ And then there are other guys where you put a bat in your hand and you know they’re going to hit a f**king dinger, right? That’s me.
“I thought that if Danhausen was given — genuinely, if Danhausen was given at bats, that eventually he was going to hit a dinger.”
