MJF comments on wrestlers jumping ship from AEW to WWE and getting booked worse, says he won't settle for less compensation just because of a WrestleMania moment:
“This is where the best wrestle. We’re real premier athletes. We’re not models. We’re not ex-football players or ex-volleyball players or whatever. This is what we’ve wanted to do from the jump. I cannot... God bless people that do it... people will jump to the other place [WWE] to get booked the same and/or worse, to be compensated for less. Why? I don’t know.
If the answer is legacy, you know what I want my legacy to be? I want my legacy to be that my children are going to be able to afford to go to any school they want. They’re going to be able to afford to go to any restaurant they want. They’re going to be able to go on vacations. They’re going to be able to wear the nicest clothes. And that’s happening because I get compensated what my talent is worth.
I’m not going to settle for less compensation so I get to have a WrestleMania moment. That doesn’t make sense to me. My legacy is my family. My legacy is my wife. My legacy is my children, my grandchildren, etc. My legacy is also what I do inside that squared circle and on this microphone.”
