MJF Says Triple H Is the ‘Greatest Ever’

MJF was a huge fan of Triple H growing up, and he still calls The Game “the greatest ever.” The AEW American Champion spoke with WrestleTalk for a new interview and talked about growing up as a fan of the now-WWE creative head’s on-camera work and how his return at AEW Double or Nothing was an homage to Triple H.

“Oh, my god. The greatest ever,” MJF said (h/t to Wrestling Inc). . “When I was a kid … so, I was born in ’96, so I vividly remember that [Triple H’s return from injury at Madison Square Garden]. That was my arena as a kid, and I thought, ‘All right. I’m returning from a serious injury.’ Every other f**king mark/nerd in wrestling does cosplay gear, and I was like, I’m gonna do it one time, and one time only.”

He continued, “I put my own spin on it. I put Burberry all over it, MJF, my lion. But, yeah, it was a bit of an homage, for sure. That was my childhood.”

MJF will defend his title against Will Ospreay at AEW All In this weekend.
