AEW star MJF has addressed the long-running “Four Pillars” conversation, dismissing the moniker and stating that he believes only he and Darby Allin were ever considered to be foundational stars by the fans.
MJF On The Four Pillars Of AEW
Speaking with Haley Miller of VICE ahead of his AEW World Championship match at Forbidden Door, MJF was asked about “Hangman” Adam Page being referred to as the “main character” of AEW. This led him to discuss the “Four Pillars” concept, which also includes himself, Darby Allin, Jack Perry, and Sammy Guevara.
“Realistically, the only two pillars that people genuinely thought were pillars were me and Darby (Allin),” MJF said. “If we’re being honest here, look, I didn’t have much to work with in those early days. You know what I’m saying? Now, I most certainly do. Sammy Guevara is pretty solid though. I just think he’s really dumb.”
The ‘Main Antagonist’ In MJF’s View
He went on to say that he has now been labeled the “main antagonist” of AEW, a role he is willing to embrace, even if he feels the fans are “misinformed.”
“I do agree with the simple fact that since day one, since 2019, your two main homegrown guys have been me and the cowboy [Hangman Page],” he stated. “They refuse to say that I’m the best, even though nobody’s a better talker than me… But yeah, I think because they hate me so much, this is frankly the only way they can give me credit. So you want me to be the main antagonist? You want me to be the bad guy? Sure, no problemo.”
