MJF says that just because two stories make you feel something doesn't mean one is a clone of the other.
MJF does not think there are any similarities between his current storyline with Adam Cole and the storyline with Roman Reigns and his family members that has dominated WWE programming for the last three years.
Speaking in an interview with Ibou of WrestlePurists, MJF explained why he thinks fans are quick to draw parallels between the two storylines, noting that it's been a while since there have been characters that have evoked such strong emotions from audiences.
"Oh, man, I don't think it's similar at all. I'll tell you what it is. Again, this goes back to an issue that was inside of my sport. It was a while until we had something that made us feel something, and The Bloodline made us feel something," he said. "Before The Bloodline, it was just like, 'I'm tuning into WWE. There's shit going on, I guess,' it was just very scattered. It was just scattered. That's the only way to describe it. Then, Bloodline came along, and it made you feel, and now here's MJF and Adam Cole, and, 'Oh, my God. I'm feeling something right now. I intensely care about this. That reminds me of the feeling I have when I watch The Bloodline. Maybe it's the same thing.' Which is insane, right? Like, if I watch a Saw movie, and I love it, and then the next day I sit down, and I watch fucking Goodwill Hunting, those movies both get me excited. It doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that they're doing the same thing."
