AEW’s MJF has addressed threatening to set Mark Briscoe on fire on Dynamite, ahead of Forbidden Door.
With MJF set to challenge for Hangman Adam Page’s AEW World Championship on August 24, the cowboy seemed to get the upper hand by goading MJF to cash in his Casino Gauntlet title shot to make this match official.
This was until the August 20 Dynamite episode, where MJF threatened to set Mark Briscoe alight if Page didn’t agree to several conditions, including that disqualifications and count-outs will result in a title change in their upcoming match, and that MJF will not be exercising his title shot, but will have a title match anyway.
Speaking with VICE, MJF explained his actions, stating:
“You have to understand my point here. This guy, he didn’t just threaten to set Swerve’s house on fire. He did it.
“And here’s little ‘ol MJF, this cowboy schmuck is super rude to me and convinces me to say something that I don’t believe in, saying that I’m gonna execute my contract out of anger. Which again, rude.
“Now here I am, all I did was threaten to light Mark Briscoe on fire. Did you see me light him on fire?
Nope, I didn’t. ’cause I’m not a bad person like Hangman Adam Page. I’m not an arsonist, like Hangman Adam Page. I’m simply just trying to put a magnifying glass over everybody’s quaint little cute hero. He’s not a good person.
“But also, I have no beef with Mark Briscoe anymore. I beat Mark Briscoe clean, smack down the middle of the ring on Dynamite. It’s over. Mark Briscoe was a little chess piece because here’s the deal, cowboys, they play checkers. MJF, the white-collar badass, plays chess.”
