Critical posted:mjf was exactly right when he said he was going to give everyone the reign from hell. but instead of imitating hhh he's imitating supercena Current babyface MJF is one of the worst things in all of wrestling in like at least 10 years. It's like if you took 2003/04 TNA Jeff Jarrett overbooked cheating dogshit finishes mixed with 2005/06 John Cena invincible overcoming the odds, then gave him Santino Marella's moveset, but also made it this self aware "wink wink" comedy character and it's just one giant insufferable package. If Max is booking himself, then we would do better somewhere like WWE where the writing team can actually provide some quality control. So many dudes are being wasted so we can have a bloated MJF show every week. Imagine hiring Keith Lee and doing absolutely nothing with him. Or Andrade, or Miro, or Malakai, or any of the other WWE cast offs who should be tearing it up. Fish Of Doom fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Nov 20, 2023 |

AEW making me sit through another Miro "my wife is interested in other men" angle has honestly been worse than anything MJF has done including last night's garbage.

It's pretty strange that AEW did nothing with Miro for so long because of creative differences, and now that he's back we're getting the same tired stuff, except now his wife is managing someone else and he's annoyed by it, but they never explained what their history actually is? He still almost never wrestles. I don't get it

They had the foresight to realize that the "Miro insists CJ is a mirage" thing wasn't working but didn't really have anything to fall back on

is this the rear end in a top hat thread? it was weird that swerve only choked hangman for 4 seconds and hangman went from going "uuuuurrrrgg!!!!" to passed out in those 4 seconds and the announcers didn't put over that he was even being choked and acted like he was successfully fighting it until after that. ruined the show. I hate you

So I don't usually care too much about ratings but Tony saying 'People who want a sports-based product better put their money where their mouth is' Which sounds like 'you better watch this tournament on Collision or I'm going deeper into sports entertainment'

Far too many matches end in flash pins and it's starting to become every bit as tiresome as WWE's DQ finishes The Anarchy in the Arena matches are impossible to follow and most of the spots in them are becoming hideously overdone They either need to tell people to stop going on lengthy excursions or just straight up release them. It's impossible to build any kind of feud or momentum when people keep buggering off for months at a time

Of the male roster only Eddie has done an excursion to the G1. Everyone else is injured or has family reasons to to be away. A lot of the female roster desperately needs to spend time in Japan living with a Joshi company but that markedly hasn't happened.

I want more flash pins in the wrestling I watch. Genki Horiguchi often wins with a backslide. It keeps things from being predictable. Flash pins, wrestlers having a handful of finishing moves (like '90s All Japan where Kobashi will probably beat you with a lariat but sometimes if you're a touch bastard maybe he does the Orange Crush Bomb or exceptionally rarely the Burning Hammer), it all adds to the suspense of big matches
