AEW star MJF has given a weird explanation for attacking wrestling legend and senior producer Dean Malenko on Dynamite.
During this week's episode of Friday Night Dynamite, Jake Hager defeated Wardlow in an MMA Cage Rules fight. The aftermath of the match saw MJF and his stablemate Shawn Spears assaulting both Hager and Chris Jericho.
Friedman also tried to break the injured arm of Chris Jericho by locking him in an armbar submission, but AEW senior producer Dean Malenko interjected himself to prevent further damage.
The moment that took everyone by surprise was when MJF punched 60-year old Dean Malenko and left him unconscious in the ring.

After witnessing such a sight, a fan asked MJF on Twitter why he laid his hands on Dean Malenko, who's suffering from Parkison's disease.
The Sal of Earth quickly acknowledged the tweet, replying that he does not discriminate against anyone, and Dean Malenko had no one to blame but himself for what had happened.
"I don’t discriminate. Everyone should know by now. That’s on Dean", said MJF.
It remains to be seen if MJF will face repercussions for his actions. In all likelihood, a wrestler is handed suspension when he attacks an official.
