MJF To Former WWE Ref: Your Old Boss Brainwashed You Into Believing We Need To Pretend Other Wrestling Companies Don’t Exist

MJF sets it straight.

On the February 5 edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF and Dustin Rhodes traded verbal jabs in a heated promo. At one point, MJF mentioned the success of Dustin's younger brother, Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes wasn't a fan of this remark, prompting him to strike MJF in the mouth. Later on in the night, a match between MJF and Rhodes was confirmed for the February 12 edition of Dynamite.

Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas wasn't a fan of MJF mentioning Cody Rhodes, reminding everyone that he's at the top of WWE.

Great job MJF of reminding your audience about the man who is on top in the other company!

MJF responded to Korderas with passion, saying that Vince McMahon brainwashed his former employees to treat fans like morons and pretend like other wrestling promotions don't exist.

His brother.

A guy who helped shape me early on in my career.

Your old boss brainwashed you into believing we need to treat the fans like morons and pretend other Wrestling companies don’t exist
