MJF was the ostensible babyface in that segment, I feel the need to point out.

poo poo lets add that segment to the pile because if MJF the face world champ thinks that made the audience think Swerve wasn't on his level bad job. If it's supposed to make me hate MJF every time he's on my television and want swerve to be world champ then great job I guess.

Swerve is going to be champion sooner rather than later it seems.

does it feel to you like he's trying to go for Rock circa 99 - 01? Just still being the heel but is actually the babyface and talks down to all his opponents? Because I liked that when I was 14 but think back to it as being poo poo. And MJF doesn't have the flow of Rock from that time. Everything feels so drawn out

dynamite was good matches and terrible promo poo poo which seems par for the course lately

the little confrontation between mjf and swerve did no favors to either man, hopefully if they feud it'll be mostly matches and not talking because woof

I think it's just that his reign is wearing thin and there's not much left to say.

I'm guessing its also a lot of treading water before AEW can start an angle about him looking to gently caress off to the WWE with the AEW title.

MJF: Swerve, there are levels to this place...

Swerve: What's that? I couldn't hear you from down there. Could you get a step ladder, or something?

Max is a good poo poo talker, but he's still 5'11". He needs to poo poo talk from a long, safe distance, or behind Samoa Joe. Not face to face with guys who tower over him. He'd need a good year and half of beating guys brutally before I'd buy him as a Swerve level badass, and Swerve's not even quite in the top tier of scary dudes that AEW has!

JFC.

Accidentally made Swerve look like the star, and Max look like... gently caress, I don't know what that was supposed to do for him.

This whole run has made Max look weak, and only the world champ because other belts have literally lapped his for importance.

No exaggeration, he's the worst thing in wrestling

The last time I thought a wrestling mystery was this direly dragged out, it took 3 months for the first person in Aces & Eights to have a match and be unmasked. This is officially 2 weeks longer than that one

This is really it. Max is terrible at talking poo poo these days because he always goes to the well of I'm actually better than you and everyone knows it - except he's the babyface and we're supposed to think he really thinks that against guys like Jay White, Hangman Page, Samoa Joe and now Swerve Strickland. My man MJF - those dudes don't make me want to turn off the tv.

Babyface Max was an obvious mistake before they did it and it gets worse each day it goes on. Never should have happened.

The thing is - it could have worked. Hell I did like his developing friendship with Adam especially up to All In. But his character has become stale, and as his challengers become more and more credible his usual crap about acting like they aren't on his level is just dumb. Like when he said Jay you really think you're on my level and loses his mind. That works when he's a heel and talks poo poo about Bryan Danielson but not as a face.

I honestly don't know how much more I can type about it - I am just tired of his act.

the whiplash from those 2 amazing matches to start into the devil stuff that makes less and less sense every week was enough to make me turn the show off last night. missed out on mox/jay but there's worse things in life to miss. three way is really stupid too but the match should be good at least

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


MJF gave an interview on the "Solomonster Sounds Off" podcast and uh bad news for those of us who have criticisms and critiques of the show these days.


quote:

Yeah, well, here's why. I'm actually going to relate this to Judaism, because I'm very good at my job. When you think about why people hate us and why we constantly get attacked, it's because we're different and being different makes people uncomfortable.

I genuinely feel the reason that a lot of the time you'll find a lot of.. and don't get me wrong, there was most certainly constructive criticism online, genuinely.. but you'll find a lot of non-constructive criticism online. Just wild irredeemably messed up sh*t that people are saying that is either untrue Or just mean, you know? And I think the reason that's happening is Monday Night Raw is the longest reigning episodic television show of all time. We have only been around for what, four and a half years? That's new, that's different, and what's different.. different scares people.

So I actually do agree for once with Tony Khan's assessment [AEW being the 'challenger brand' to WWE] and I think that's the issue. I think the issue is that we're fresh. We're new. We feel dangerous to people - and I kind of get off on that, because I get to be the World Champion of that danger and that change, just like I get to be a champion of the Jewish people."

I think it'd be cool if two masked guys beat Joe and MJF for the tag titles and we don't know who they are for awhile. If it's not obvious.

But next week could be a bait and switch like the last time they advertised the match, so...

Nothing he said was false (besides "we're hated because different scares people," which, lol) but tying his faith into defense of his employer is kinda gross

MJF as a face was entertaining when he was learning the power of friendship. Now he's a babyface that is just being a dick to people for no reason and we're supposed to cheer that?

Sammy's cleared medically, but with as rough a last couple months as Tay had with her pregnancy, yeah, it ain't Sammy. He's at home where he needs to be, maybe until after Revolution.
