Oh god we're getting a Dark Side of the Ring about MJF, narrated by Chris Jericho. Jake Roberts, Taz and Barry Horowitz do the talking head interviews.  Just watch this please! This is sooooo good!  Hometown boy MJF comes out to a wild ovation.  He's wearing a #55 MJF jersey. That makes Long Island happy.  MJF sends his love to Long Island.  MJF gives Wardlow the chance to speak.  He tells the crowd to be respectful... *wink wink*

• MJF demands the 10 lashes, akin to what happened with Cody 2 years back.
• He must wrestle Shawn Spears in a cage with MJF as referee
• If Wardlow loses at Double or Nothing, he will never be allowed to sign an AEW contract ever

Wardlow tries to sign the contract but the cuffs make it impossible.  He's freed and signs the contract and beats down security.  Spears gets dropped.  MJF tries to bail.  Wardlow goes for a powerbomb MJF but Mark Sterling jumps on Wardlows back.  Wardlow sets up the chair and we get the Power Bomb.
