AEW star MJF discusses his thoughts about WWE video games

MJF has opened up hilariously on his take of playing video games including a WWE game with Rey Mysterio. He could not cope up with the game and decided to take a breather from it after once playing Day of Reckoning.

MJF talking on Game Marks podcast, says: (h/t Fightful)

“Video games are for virgins, but wrestling video games are for winners,” 

“I think anybody can agree on that. Regular video games like Zelda or Cuck Central Part Two or whatever people are playing nowadays, I don’t know, I’m not a simp. For me, the first wrestling game I ever played, which is the only acceptable type of video game to play, was called Day of Reckoning on GameCube.”

He continued and brought up one Rey Mysterio game which got him extremely upset:

“The storyline resonated with me at a young age and I remember very much enjoying the story in that game. At some point in Day of Reckoning 2, you do a cage match with Rey Mysterio. Once I got to the cage match, I could not figure out how to get out of the cage because I’m not a virgin nerd. I threw the controller down and said, ‘clearly video games aren’t for me.’ To my knowledge, I did not play another wrestling game for a couple of years.”

He is currently the leader of The Pinnacle on AEW which includes Tully Blanchard, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), Shawn Spears and Wardlow. He was initially a part of The Inner Circle before being thrown out for plotting another faction out of it.

However, this could also be a dig at WWE games given that AEW are coming up with their own games to rival the 2K series.

WWE 2K20 was a disaster and 2K21 was cancelled. WWE 2K22 has already seen some hype over its realism but AEW is going with a more fun and arcade-style in its release.

The Pinnacle vs The Inner Circle

The Pinnacle was formed after MJF was thrown out of The Inner Circle. The two factions attacked each other on AEW and set up a blockbuster match at AEW Dynamite, where The Inner Circle would dissolve once and for all. had they lost.

The Pinnacle lost to Jericho and his team in a Stampede Stadium match and avenged their Bloods and Guts match loss to them earlier. Jericho and The Inner Circle continue to take big strides on AEW, which includes Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz and honorary member “Iron” Mike Tyson.
