Mark Briscoe‘s playful jab at rival MJF has unexpectedly become a potential path to retirement, thanks to the success of a fan-favorite t-shirt. The shirt, emblazoned with the phrase “MJF Has A Tiny Kosher Pickle,” is generating royalty checks that Briscoe anticipates will fund his future.
The ongoing feud between Briscoe and MJF culminates in a Tables & Thumbtacks Match at AEW All Out on Saturday, September 30, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Beyond the in-ring rivalry, the t-shirt’s popularity underscores the widespread sentiment among fans who echo Briscoe’s assessment of his opponent. This unexpected financial windfall highlights the power of fan engagement and the unique intersection of professional wrestling and merchandise.
Briscoe recently discussed the shirt’s success in an interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, stating, “the pickle proceeds, we haven’t gotten to the next royalty check yet, but I imagine that this next royalty check will be one that I will probably be able to retire with if I get the pickle proceeds because everybody, and I mean everybody, agrees with me that MJF has a little, teenie, tiny, pickle.” He added that fans are eager to display their support for the sentiment by purchasing and wearing the shirt.
The All Out event, broadcast live on pay-per-view, will provide the stage for Briscoe and MJF to settle their differences-and potentially add another chapter to the “pickle” saga.
