MJF To WWE? He d Consider It. Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on May 09, 2021
During anan interview with wrestlingsc.com, AEW star MJF was asked if he would ever consider jumping ship to WWE.
His response was rather in-character, but he didn t seem to rule it out:
“I’d say I’d be near the end of my contract. I would be the AEW World Champion, I would still be a part of the greatest faction in professional wrestling known as The Pinnacle, all of my brothers in arms would also have gold and then, at that point, the highest bidder, baby. Me and my boys, we’re willing to go wherever the money’s at, it’s that simple.”
Vince Russo Says Vince McMahon Owns Your Life If You Work For Him Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on May 09, 2021
Former WWE creative writer Vince Russo discussed working with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon during The Attitude Era in an interview with SmarkBusters. When you re working for Vince [McMahon] you have to be. He demands that. He owns your life, 24X7, and that s fine. I bought into that but unfortunately, this is where he s not smart about it - while he s owning your life, he s also burning you out. You see now, if that s me and and I m the owner of the company and I m depending on somebody as much as he s depending on me, I am going to make sure that person has some breaks, that person has time to rest their batteries. I m going to make sure because I want longevity from that person but with Vince, it was non-stop, 24X7, for five straight years and at the end of that, I was completely done.

Bruce Prichard On Why Former WWE Superstar Palmer Canon Was Not A Good Fit Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on May 09, 2021
WWE Superstar Palmer Canon is best known for a very short stint in WWE on the SmackDown! brand under the ring name of Palmer Canon.
On the latest episode of his Something to Wrestle podcast, Bruce Prichard explained why he believes Canon was not a good fit for the company at the time and the rumor that Canon quit due to a confrontation with JBL.
Here is what Bruce said:
“He was brought in, was not a good fit,” Prichard said. “JBL gets a lot of heat and gets blamed for a lot of things, maybe just because he’s the loudest, but John was not the only one who had issues with Mr. Canon. And, again, it just isn’t a fit.”
