AEW World Champion MJF appeared at the New York Mets game at Citi Field on September 17 to promote AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam. Mike Janela of MSG Network interviewed MJF at the game and asked him to share his thoughts on some rivals of the Mets. The Phillie Phanatic came up the conversation, and MJF made his opinion clear.

“I’m gonna keep it this simple. By far the dumbest mascot in all of professional sports. Everybody knows there’s only one mascot that matters, and his name is Mr. Met,” MJF said.

MJF also commented on his appearance at the game by sharing a picture of himself at another Mets game when he was a kid. He noted that “we” are the dreamers of dreams, and he’s the fans’ scumbag.

Today I’ll be hyping up Grandslam by doing some batting practice with the @Mets in beautiful @CitiField as The Champion Of The World.

This little prick saw it coming whilst no one else did.

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams.

And I’m your Scumbag. pic.twitter.com/Vx0pPTyDGk
