AEW music composer Mikey Rukus on Jim Johnston’s criticism: “I don’t give a sh*t what he says”
Former WWE music composer Jim Johnston made headlines this week by saying that modern wrestling themes sound “generic” and that the industry has forgotten how powerful entrance music can be in creating stars. AEW music composer Mikey Rukus was asked about Johnston’s comments on Twitter/X and replied, “Real simple. I don’t give a sh*t what he says.”
Real simple.
I don’t give a shit what he says. https://t.co/Wc1vCvBVf0

User M1ntyRetr0 wrote about Rukus, “He’s an AEW zombie, he thinks his sh*t don’t stink because the AEW Weirdos praise him like he’s a god.” Rukus then had the following exchange with M1ntyRetr0…
Rukus: “Good to see you again Minty. Always a pleasure. Stop eating your boogers.”
M1ntyRetr0: “Just an opinion bro 🤷♂️. I don’t understand why you always get so triggered by Jim Johnson. Dude paved the way for someone like you.”
Rukus: “Its simple. I dont owe respect to anyone who doesnt respect me. Theres more to the story here. As for you- You jump into my replies and hurl insults and then try to hide behind ‘its just an opinion bro.’ Youre a 56 yr old crooked eyed twirp with AEDub Derangement Syndrome.”
