MJF Addresses How The Goal Post Kept Moving Every Time He Succeeded

AEW World Champion MJF appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including how he knew he did a good job at the 2018 All In Event and how he strives off milestones adding up in his career because every single time he has had a big opportunity or he succeeds, the goal post keeps on moving.

MJF said, โ€œI knew I did a great job, but I also knew that there would be a big conglomerate of people saying, โ€˜Yeah, the kid did good, but what was he there for?โ€™ I strive off that shit. Weโ€™ll continue to talk about those things as the milestones add up in my career because every single time Iโ€™ve had a big opportunity in any capacity, the goalpost was always moved. Every single time.โ€

MJF also talked about how scouts from the WWE and AEW did not feel he did a goob job then, but when he signed with AEW that is when things changed.

โ€œI remember I did a great job, and the goal posts moved. โ€˜Yeah, the match was really good, but why was he on the card.โ€™ Okay, okay. Well, WWE scouts and AEW scouts didnโ€™t feel that way, but okay. Then, when I signed on with AEW, it was really just off to the races.โ€
