On the most recent edition of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Disco Inferno addressed MJF cutting a controversial promo on Japanese sensation Konusuke Takeshita. He defended the AEW World Champion’s “racist” promo and echoed similar sentiments, reinforcing that foreign wrestlers would fare better in America if they learned English.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On defending MJF’s “racist” promo on Konusuke Takeshita: “MJF on the show last night kind of echoed my tweet, telling Takeshita you’ve got to speak American, or English. I’m just saying the fake outrage from the people getting on MJF like ‘oh he didn’t need to do that racist promo.’ Look, Konnan will attest to this, and this is not racist, foreign wrestlers who do not speak English, you are going to increase your marketability and your popularity if you learn to speak English. It’s an American audience, that’s not racist.”
On why foreign wrestlers need to learn English: “These guys, especially the talented ones should learn to speak English because they might become big stars, because a lot of guys—like the Mexican guys are good looking! Learn how to speak English dude, it’s like it’s not hard to do these days with all of the programs you can get, like you can put your earphones on and whatever.”
