MJF Praises Adam Sandler After ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Announcement: “Like a Fat Kid Loves Cake”
LOS ANGELES – AEW superstar MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman) couldn’t contain his excitement after hearing the news that Happy Gilmore 2 is officially in the works—and he made sure the world knew exactly how he felt.
The outspoken wrestler took to social media to praise comedy legend Adam Sandler, who is set to reprise his iconic role as the hot-headed hockey player-turned-golfer in the long-awaited sequel.
“Adam Sandler making Happy Gilmore 2 has me happier than a fat kid loves cake,” MJF tweeted, referencing one of his signature catchphrases.
The original Happy Gilmore, released in 1996, became a cult classic, blending Sandler’s signature humor with an underdog sports story. Fans have clamored for a sequel for years, and Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison, confirmed this week that the project is moving forward.
MJF, known for his quick wit and sharp tongue, has often referenced pop culture in his promos, and his love for Sandler’s films is no secret. The AEW star has previously compared his own villainous persona to Sandler’s over-the-top characters, even mimicking his delivery in interviews.
While no release date has been announced for Happy Gilmore 2, MJF made it clear he’ll be first in line to see it—likely while eating a slice of cake.
