Juice Robinson cut a promo on MJF on last night’s AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday that drew some controversy online.
Robinson told MJF that he had a roll of quarters with his name on it, a reference to his using the quarters to knock people out.
However, the reference also evoked a past incident MJF has shared in which antisemitic bullies threw quarters at him and uttered hateful things due to his Jewish blood. In addition, the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict added fuel to the fire.
Taking to Twitter, MJF noted that he would be speaking at an event on Thursday about standing up to Jewish hate. He wrote,
“Tonight that piece of shit, Juice Robinson decided to bring up a story from my childhood that has left me scared. I’m glad he did. He brought awareness to something we’ve all gone through in one way, shape, or form in our lives. On behalf of anyone who’s ever been bullied for being different in any capacity. I look forward to leaving him scared too. I also look forward to this Thursday #StandUpToJewishHate”

Juice Robinson’s recent promo on AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday has caused controversy online. During the promo, Robinson mentioned having a roll of quarters with MJF’s name on it, referencing his use of quarters to knock people out. However, this reference has sparked controversy due to a past incident involving MJF and antisemitic bullying.
MJF has previously shared a story about being bullied by antisemitic individuals who threw quarters at him and made hateful remarks because of his Jewish heritage. Given the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict, this reference in Robinson’s promo has added fuel to the fire.
In response to the promo, MJF took to Twitter to address the issue. He stated that Juice Robinson’s mention of the childhood incident had left him scared but also expressed gratitude for bringing awareness to a common experience many people face. MJF also announced that he would be speaking at an event on Thursday about standing up against Jewish hate.
The controversy surrounding this promo highlights the importance of sensitivity and understanding when discussing sensitive topics such as bullying and discrimination. It serves as a reminder that words and actions can have a lasting impact on individuals, especially when it comes to personal experiences tied to their identity.
As fans and viewers, it is crucial to be mindful of the potential impact our words and actions can have on others. Promoting inclusivity, empathy, and respect within the wrestling community can contribute to a more positive and welcoming environment for everyone involved.
