MJF really, really wants to join The Hurt Syndicate.
And he's not above bribery.
He's also not above referring to women as "talent," especially when he is using said women to earn the good graces of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin.
On AEW Dynamite, MJF channeled his inner-Godfather and brought out a string of women to impress The Hurt Syndicate. While Shelton Benjamin initially seemed excited by the prospect, he needed a little extra motivation. That motivation came in the form of the watch off of Friedman's wrist.
That earned Friedman some goodwill from Benjamin, but Bobby Lashley still seemed unimpressed. Still, MJF was undeterred.
"When I join The Hurt Syndicate, there will be more watches and women where that came from," MJF told the Syndicate.
Friedman also said that he's known for getting what he wants. Whether that turns out to be true, in this particular case, remains to be seen. But The Hurt Syndicate did end up going out with the ladies.
After the show, MJF took to Twitter to remind people to respect sex workers.
Respect sex workers.
