Hangman just reading dril tweets as a promo has gotten me to agree with everyone saying he can't promo. It's just hack and sad. Like the cowboy.

I love everything about Eddie Kingston, including the fact that he (and his gear) look like crap and all his offense looks like stuff Dan Hibiki would use. A big whirlwind wind-up to one of the shittiest chops you've ever seen.

This is the correct take. You should definitely be cheering for Swerve because he rules, but also why the gently caress would anyone ask who to cheer for? Just cheer or boo to whoever the hell you want.

Swerve is the babyface in this story but I would forgive you if you were confused since he broke into a dude's house and talked at his empty crib and the only accounting there's been for that in story is he went "ah y'know, it's just one of those things."

I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

Swerve yelled at an actual baby but he also killed another, bigger baby(Nick Wayne) and the biggest baby(Hangman) making him a good guy because the two rights cancel the one wrong.

You'd have to be a dummy idiot to think they want you to cheer the guy who refused to extend the match 5 minutes.

Correct. Hangman and his wife abandoned their baby, and Swerve broke into their house so he could care for it. Swerve has always been the face in this feud.

I am an enlightened wrestling enjoyer who doesn't need the clichéd "heels" and "babyfaces" to be clearly defined in order to have a good time. I do not get confused when a "heel" does something "good" or when a "babyface" does something "bad"

While it'd be nice to have something to explain away Swerve breaking into Page's house it is nice the Tony saw the massive cheers Swerve was getting and pivoted him to babyface. Trying to force him back into being a heel would have been a big error

I wrote a whole-rear end column on what killed MJF. Clearly delineating the moment of his babyface turn is not what killed MJF.

Nah, Swerve is a dude who can work face convincingly. MJF is just very much in that category of "do not ever turn this person because you're losing everything that makes them work". Jay White is a similar example.

Turning babyface killed MJF :colbert:

also I read the article, it was good!

E: I just don't think that Swerve needs to actively try to play to the crowd and poo poo; he can wrestle from the bottom and beat scumbags, but please don't ever make him give gladhanding promos

MJF's problem wasn't that he turned face - if he fully turned in fall of 2022 during the Mox chase he would of been a great face. It's just that being paired with Cole and turning face ramped up the cheese factor way to high

MJF's desperate need for acceptance (in character and maybe also in reality) made him a dumbass dork of a face and he wasn't as funny as Cody booking himself was to make up for it. Swerve is getting cheered by the audience but his motivations are ultimately still selfish instead of "Aw shucks you guys really like me"

I don't agree that it almost killed the promotion but it def cooled off the main event scene. The dude just doesn't understand what people liked about aew and was trying to make it more like WWE. Ew no thanks

I cheered Swerve more when he broke into Hangman’s house.

I hope he stomps Hangman’s baby to deafening cheers and thundering applause.
