Loved that dude since I was a kid

Man there was that era in the late 90's-early 00's where everyone was hating on Shinzaki based on some poo poo where he apparently had the worst match in the history of Michinoku Pro. I never got the hate at all; dude ripped poo poo.

These two loving rule. What happened to hakushi?

He went back to Japan to wrestle, mainly for his home promotion of Michinoku Pro (which as others have said he is now in charge of). But he's turned up basically everywhere in Japan, he had some good stuff in All Japan in the late nineties tagging with Hayabusa, and he's had dates everywhere from New Japan to small Chiba indie K-Dojo.

Last year he had a fun intergender match tagging with Meiko Satomura against Nanae Takahashi & Minoru Suzuki in Meiko's last match before leaving for NXTUK full-time. 2020 had a fun NOAH match at the Kongo Produce show, teaming Kenoh (an ex-Michinoku Pro guy) against Inaba & Kiyomiya.

Obviously dude is 55, he's not having bangers so much anymore but totally enjoyable stuff still happens

If you want just a couple of matches of his post WWF then w/ Hayabusa vs Holy Demon Army & w/ Hayabusa vs Akiyama & Misawa

i think there's an opportunity for mjf to do something interesting with those dax-style "good-hearted message with a zero effort heel tag at the end" tweets. he could start to drag his leg with it and play up how obvious it is that he's in it for good will and praise to feed his ego, and being 'cute' to further disarm folks. i don't expect anything like that. i'm sure it's surface-level and feels good to speak the feelings and potentially help others and then wink. but it's things like this which are the reason we have this fantasy meta booking thread. i'll see ya later on down the road

I think it's a line he's walked recently. His tweets about anti-semitism are coming from a The Worst Person You Know Makes a Valid Point type of thing. How do I cheer this absolute rear end in a top hat, this person who is all that's wrong with the world, greed, pride, arrogance, dismissiveness, etc. while he's being correct about anti-semitism? Can I put MJF forward as one face of racial and religious justice while still decrying literally everything else about his personhood?

How do I celebrate this person fighting against anti-semitism, fighting an injustice, while he's the champion of other injustices? Even more, how do I do celebrate this champion when he's gotten the power to fight against some wrongs via wholheartedly embracing a different set of wrongs?

OSW Review posted their All Out Zero Hour review with the rest of All Out next week. Their trailer for it has promos from MJF, Mox, and Kingston that were all 100% correct in hindsight. It's really kind of amazing.

It also features the CM Punk scrums prior to All Out where he's talking about being happy, no reason for him to be mad, etc.

He's the inverse of Chuck Taylor's "old school Southern babyface who's also incredibly anti-Semitic" idea.

I don't know who Chuck Taylor is, but I know MJF is a messed up young man who may be experiencing anti-semitism, and I think he can be the voice of equality, but boy, does that guy have his priorities messed up.

i might be misunderstanding but that's all implicit, i thought. doing something else with it is what i was getting at, since FTR did it recently and it ended with a face turn. in other words instead of actually being the complex tweener he is just a mega poo poo head doing what he's seen work before. i don't have any strong "how do i navigate this as a fan" feelings due to the well-worn path. so either it's that, or something new, or he just wants to be honest and cute on social media without somebody like me trying to dissect it, and have that in its own box away from kayfabe
