Cole is only bad in the sense that his existence allowed for his various diluted shadows (fish, o'reilly, etc) to get on television

He's not bad he just sucks. For reasons outlined in something I quoted earlier that definitely wasn't something I said.

BAEST MODE!!!
I have really enjoyed Adam Cole in AEW. His matches have been really good. I see people talking about minor league matches they didn't like which is foolish. Those matches are for the wrestlers to learn not for you to enjoy.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The reason I like Adam Cole is because of his affable, goofy adorable charm.

Admittedly, I saw this on UpUpDownDown playing Uno. But Gosh-Darnnit if it didn't make me a fan of the little man and invested in his matches/career.

Adam Cole was a highlight on the first ever indie card I ever saw in a tiny little shithole of a venue, and although the memory is tainted because he wrestled a britwres sex pest I will always support him.

This could be literally dozens of people, please elaborate.

Q: are there any wrestlers out there you are really interested in seeing wrestle as the opposite alignment? I was thinking about how well PAC has transitioned from heel bridge troll trapped in the Covid hell dimension to best friend team captain of Death Triangle, Eddie Kingston hating brute force machine. I really respect PAC and I think he's probably one of the most underrated wrestlers in the world but I still never imagined he'd be able to work as a face after how vile he was during his King of the Cruiserweights in WWE and his Kenny Omega feud in AEW.

Are there any wrestlers currently so deeply entrenched in their current alignment you can't imagine them making the switch? MJF is probably the obvious answer because I can only imagine cheering him if they did a double turn when wrestles Cody again.

Switchblade Jay White. He's one of the most naturally gifted heels i've seen but since he's been away from Japan Bullet Club has been coopted by an even more unlikable shithead in EVIL. The difference is that Jay is really loving good at wrestling and knows what will rile people up, EVIL makes the product actively worse. Jay coming back as an almost face BC redeemer would be super interesting, especially after the work the BC wastemen put in during the G1 to actually put on a good show

i've watched that Wall video so much that now my favourite part is before Wall even happens and its that Hulk Hogan was calling Vampiro the wrestler of the future which with 20 year hindsight is such a confounding sentence it makes me smile.

All he has to do is heel up against another heel.

You do it the way they turned Regal face in WWE. Preferably without the weird caricature of a developmentally disabled guy.

But seriously, develop a character that invokes sympathy, have them win MJF over gradually, then have someone like Ethan Page or Malakai Black heel on them. MJF sticks up for them, you got yourself a face turn.

MJF got big face pops when he came out to help Cody early on in AEW. He's got good babyface fire and intensity, it turns out.

There was a time I'd have like to have seen a Cena Monster Heel run but that moment passed a long time ago.

I just think it would have freshened up his character so much and paved the way for many more interesting storylines.

I mean look how well it's worked for Roman.
