For weeks, Maxwell Jacob Friedman tried to forge the spots of The Hurt Syndicate to himself with his championship promise as an incentive for cars, women, watches and existing members. On the May 14 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” MVPs, Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley gave him three thumbs and signed a deal to formalize his membership next week, making MJF’s attempts finally proved successful. On “Busted Open Radio,” TNA tag team champion Nic Nemeth shared his views on the story.
“It was a continuous process and it was some of my favorite things that AEW is doing,” Nemeth said. “They’re bringing it out, because it’s a different look to them. [The Hurt Syndicate] They are murderers looking at the parts and they have some fun. You’re starting to get to know them personally, but you get a completely different MJF from where he’s not the cheeky guy anywhere else. He’s completely out of his element and he’s trying to impress these people. You get almost and almost. ”
Previously, only MVP and Benjamin would give MJF nods of approval. To win Lashley, MJF had to adhere to the damaged syndicate motto of “We Hurt People.” Still, there was no guaranteed place in MJF’s Heart Syndicate, as Lashley first bullies her thumb and then eventually turned it up.
“They might throw a big party,” Nemes added. “They may throw a big party and beat [MJF’s] The butt in front of everyone. Either way, I’d like to see next week. This is one of my favorite parts of wrestling when it’s not the main event of the show. That’s how you book a wrestling show. ”
