During an interview on the SI Media Podcast, former AEW World Champion MJF opened up about his ADHD issues:
“Hardcore. My ADHD is very, very, very intense, and I find the only time I am able to focus on one thing, and this is no exaggeration, is when I put the scarf on and I go to work. It is the only time the rest of my day I really struggle.
I can’t even explain it. I truly can’t explain it. When I walk through that curtain, I don’t have it anymore, and I don’t know why there’s zero explanation for it because in every other facet of my life, it is an issue.
It made learning close to impossible. It’s funny. It took me a lot longer to learn how to read and write, which is funny when you think about how I’ve made my money via my mouth, but I was a really late bloomer when it came to learning how to speak.
Point blank at all because somebody would be trying to teach me how to speak and I’d be f**king Lala Land thinking about 70 different things at once but for whatever reason. When I walk through that curtain, it’s gone.
It always affected me. I just thought there was something wrong with me, and I was right. It’s a disorder, right, but I do get annoyed when I would be in school and I would hear people be like, ‘Oh, I can’t concentrate I must have ADHD.’ Suck my d**k because because there’s really truly levels to it and people don’t understand like. I really do.
To this day, I struggle with reading comprehension. I struggle I could be in the middle of a sentence with the woman I’m banging and I’m gone and she knows it’s just like ah f**k and then she has to be like you were saying this you were talking about this and I’m like okay yeah back on track.
The first time I noticed it… I mean it was hard to notice it because it was just it’d be like asking somebody when did you notice you had bad eyesight you didn’t notice you had bad eyesight until you took a f**king eye exam and somebody told you hey, ‘this is not how human beings are supposed to be able to see’.
So you know I just remember I would get in trouble all the time in school because they felt that I wasn’t paying attention. No sh*t, or wasn’t able to study. Yeah, for whatever reason, when it comes to professional wrestling, it’s like it just vanishes.”
