Keeping Dwayne Johnson as one’s motivator is not unique to this top AEW star. Especially when you’re the world champion and the face of the company, Johnson is the best person to look for guidance.
But MJF has done something that very few wrestlers can claim to have done. He’s achieved an honor that puts him straight to the level of Johnson and legends like him. So what’s this big achievement that MJF has his hands on now?

On Twitter, the AEW World Champion shared a video showcasing the pictures hanging on the wall of the ‘East Coast Mecca’. The showcase had everyone from Johnson, Hogan, and Scott Steiner to Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many more. At the end of the video, we see MJF’s image hanging on the same wall as these legends.
As a kid I was afraid to train at “the east coast Mecca” I was told only the biggest and baddest were allowed in.
When I finally started training there I’d look at photos of the men that trained there and were asked to have their 8×10’s put on the wall.

He narrated his story of going to the New York-based gym early in his career and seeing these legends’ photos every day. He also talked about his dream of being one of those photos as well, and now he had finally achieved this goal. The gym is none other than the legendary gym, Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym, where you can see the best in the field coming and going in every single day.
Also, this new achievement gives MJF’s working out video, which was compared with Johnson’s videos, a whole different meaning. But when you look at MJF, the world champion hasn’t just completed one goal.
