MJF amazing interview

MJF amazing interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUFOPxrIRIY

An amazing interview with MJF, even for him this is just top draw. Feels like we get a genuine MJF here, yes a bit of the character, but he answers questions very honestly.

Interesting says right now he wants to be considered the greatest wrestler ever despite never working in WWE, he also says his mount rushmore is for him Cena, Batista and Rock, the best wrestlers ever to go into movies and he wants to be the 4th in that list.

Oh and Punk is a C*** 😄.

Admits that 2023 the company worried too much about WWE, and now they are just focusing on themselves , doing the best TV and best Wrestling.

Also talks about how everyone in the locker room wants to be there and is the right people for the company. And calls out Malakai Black for wanting to go back to WWE and using AEW as a stepping stone.

Turkey Hair can require a shaved head.

A lot has been made about how Max is not going to have his hair shaved because his turkey hair.

But depending on the procedure there are Turkey Hair procedures that require the patient to be shaved bald before the procedure.

This might be Max knowing the procedure he needs to have and building it into the story, thats a very MJF thing to do.

new day vs edge and christian never happened in WWE

Everyone has gone on about the teams the New Day can face, and yes the Bucks is top of the list.

But the New Day never had the chance to work with Edge and Christian in WWE, I think that match, 2 generations of great WWE tag teams, is something that Tony K can sell to really bring new eyes across to watch AEW from WWE.

do it on the right PPV and as we all know those casual viewers will suddenly see what a proper wrestling PPV can be, and the Promos a heel E and C can cut with the New Day would be amazing, especially if they where both willing to mention where they had come from.

Sorry, talk about overbooking a gimmick.

Yet another match where hair is on the line. We had Wheeler Yuta, John Morrison and now MJF.

After months of great booking this feels like a cheap option, if Tony had this planned why give is Yuta, and if it was a last min decision, why ont realise that these kinds of matches should be limited to once a year.

Has anyone seen the clip from the NJPW presser with Callum Newman calling out Osprey for joining the Death Riders.

Yet another example of how good Osprey is at telling a story. I will never forget how brilliantly Osprey told the story of the Tiger Drivery. After beating Takeshita with it he then, in the AEW press conference, said that the move should be banned one day because it would seriously hurt someone.

fast forward to Bryan Danielson and him retiring the move and then again to him brining it back for MJF.

This United Empire story will run I think until Forbidden Door.

Something that we all seem to agree on is that the women need more of a focus.

Given how big and how good the women's roster is now I wonder if it is time for Tony to book a women's continental classic tournament at a different time of the year?

What do we think, is the womens roster strong enough to carry a full round robin tournament?

As AEW fans I sometimes see people say "it's better then WWE" as a defence for when the product isn't quite where it should be. This is the wrong approach to take, we should never compare AEW to WWE to determine if the product is good. We should always be comparing AEW to itself when it was the very best and asking, is it that good right now.

I think that right now AEW is clearly on an upward trajectory and getting back towards it's peak, but I said that this time last year and it turned out last year was a year of 2 halves. An amazing build up to All In, a great All In PPV and then coming out of it things went a little flat, not awful, but the Hangman Page title run didn't set the world on fire, then we got that strange Samoa Joe win leading to MJF then picking things back up again and getting the ship back on track.

So looking ahead throughout this year what are the things you would like to see improve and get better throughout the year. Please understand this is accepting that AEW is in a really strong place right now, but things can always get better.

For me there are a few things.

The Womens Division
Tony needs to properly, finally, commit to the women. Give them 2 proper matches and storylines every week on Dynamite. He has 3 womens belts now, stop trying to shoehorn the tag titles and a singles belt into trios feuds leading up to a PPV, let the storylines properly breathe and let the women be more then the bathroom break just before the main event spot on Dynamite. There is so much that is good about the women's division right now, but they need the space and time to see it through.

The Main Title Pictures
Don't let this drop or become confused after All In. I do wonder if he switches focus to the continental and planning that out and that allows him to drop his eye off the ball for the main titles and other stories. (the womens title also seemed to lose focus a bit, Kris Statlanders run was also not as good as it should have been). I am hoping whoever he puts the belt on after all in will be able to start a story as opposed to Hangman who on both occasions getting the title was almost the end of one.

Be consistent the week after a PPV.
With a few exceptions Tony has a habit of delivering a weak Dynamite and Collision the week immediately after a PPV. He needs to stop this trend and make sure that the always good to great PPV's are followed up by a strong TV presence.

These are just my own personal opinions, and like I say I am in no way suggesting AEW is in a slump right now.

So on the back of https://www.reddit.com/r/AEWFanHub/comments/1szsfzx/jim_ross_on_commentary/ post, I thought I would broaden the question.

What is our fav trio on the booth and why?
Do we even think 3 is the right number or should it be just a 2 man booth?

personally I like the 3 man and my fav commentators are.

Nigel, Taz, and Danielson.

Although that would make for a poor team as none of them really does play by play I think so of the play by play guys I think I need to go with Excalibur.

Although there is no doubt Excaliburs work has got much worse and I feel that TOny should give someone else a go at play by play.

Nigel, Taz and Danielson are all so good at adding colour and details. Daniels especially brings a point of view that is unique.

Oh and an honorable mention to Callis.
