It's wild that Jeff Cobb only makes sporadic appearances but I understand he's happy doing what he's doing. To me he's a guy who should be a staple. But if they can't have him around a lot, good god almighty PLEASE get a Cobb/Joe title match going if just for a one off! I WILL hoot and holler |

Hot Take: MJF was a good champion whose reign lasted too long and burned people out badly. His tendencies towards entertainment didn't help. Let's not pretend that a bunch of us weren't desperately hoping that BTYBB would last beyond All-in. Or that we weren't hype for the Iron Man match. Or that he didn't carry the 4 pillars storyline. Also: Takeshita/Darby slapped. Takeshita for International Champion. ChrisBTY fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jan 4, 2024 |

ChrisBTY posted:Hot Take: MJF was a good champion whose reign lasted too long and burned people out badly. His tendencies towards entertainment didn't help. My personal hot take is that MJF was a good champ, the story he was telling was a great story, and wrestling is a medium that was really starting to strain under trying to deliver it. It just became too loving much for something that is best when it is "I want your title and to prove I'm the best". Watching Gettysburg at the children's puppet theater. |

I was there when MJF and Cole went against FTR and lost the tag title match last July I was part of the chant begging them to hug it out This title reign will be looked on more fondly a few years down the road, especially after MJF gets the belt again. I think the bad execution of the devil angle was just too much. |

MJF was a great champ who had a pretty much unrivaled streak of amazing PPV matches. The Four Pillars match, the Iron Man match with Danielson, and both of his matches with Cole were all top tier and that Iron Man match is a contender for best Iron Man match ever. His turn is one of my favorites ever, it all made sense and he didn't suddenly turn into a happy go lucky guy that everyone on the roster loved. There were consequences to him being a shithead for so long, he was still overly arrogant and crude, but he turned from the most hated guy on the roster to the most beloved. People are gonna debate that but those crowd reactions don't lie, people went nuts for him and even the most cynical fan was fully invested at the beginning of his turn. Cole getting hurt followed by MJF getting hurt made things a little too long in the tooth at the end and MJF REALLY likes dramatic stuff that can come across as hokey on TV, so the Devil stuff kind of got kneecapped at the end. When he comes back he'll knock it out of the park as per usual and people will look back more fondly on this ending. He also was exactly what AEW needed at the time after the title bounced around so much during the summer and early fall of 2022. |

Ranking of AEW Title Runs: 1) Omega 2) Mox 1 3) MJF 4) Jericho 5) Hangman 6) Mox 2 7) Mox 3 8) Punk (1+2) Omega and Mox 1 were magic, MJF and Hangman both had good matches, MJF and Jericho had fun stories, Mox 3 felt like a placeholder the whole time, and the rest were cursed. edit: in conclusion, Hangman needs to take the title off swerve and have a run without the curse Jonny Nox fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jan 4, 2024 |

MJF has banger matches and his World title defenses were great. His tag title defenses and the kangaroo kick nonsense after All In were all garbage though imo AEW Mecca Opinion to stay on track: At least he had fun |

Still just about able to perform at the highest level in singles matches and a big enough name to establish a new promotion. |

Shard posted:MJF was a great champ right up until he started big timing Jay White of all people and then he became a poo poo champion Honestly, I wouldn't even say that turned him into a poo poo champion. It was just a few bad segments, and the angle overall was salvaged (despite the payoff show being flawed in its own unique way) because Bullet Club Gold is really good and MJF held up his end of things once he stopped leaning so hard into the Rock Insulting People tone. People imo just clung to the handful of bad moments way too hard, but that's human nature. |
