>The current storyline is that MJF will be defending his AEW World title on independent shows which he claimed puts him in the calibre of touring world champions like Ric Flair, Harley Race and Buddy Rogers. (via WON daily update)
>>19712331He gets uglier every time I see him.
That's pretty cool, actually
>>19712344>the wrestlers (male) aren't pretty enough for mewhat happened to this business?
...can Tony Khan unify all these secondary men's single titles already?
>>19712331Why does the world title storyline need to be explained by the dirt sheets? Wouldn’t it be made apparent on their television programming?
>>19712406who said it wouldn't be?
>>19712331Last real touring champion was Takayama with the NWF title
>>19712406It was made apparent on tv and they are recapping it
>>19712420WON did a daily update on Sunday to reiterate something that was made apparent on Wednesday?
>>19712435Wednesday was the start of the angle, Dave reported the plan for it. It's not complicated.
too bad there isn't anyone worth a fuck on the indies anymore but have fun with thatcertainly works well for Sasha winning belts in a bunch of matches nobody watches or cares about.
>>19712331It makes him look like a geek having competitive matches with people who are otherwise jobbers in AEW like Alec Price.
>>19712453A healthy indies is good for everyone, they should be giving back even if it's not under ideal circumstances. Initiatives like AEW sending out their wrestlers or WWE ID are both positives big picture.
>>19712331>Wrestling matches in front of 100 people make me just like Ric Flair and Harley RaceThe reality is MJF is still green as shit because Tony signed a guy with 3 whole years of wrestling experience, then rarely booked him his first few years in AEW, so he doesn't have as much in ring experience as a world champion should. He's doing these indie dates literally just to get more in ring practice because AEW doesn't do house shows, and he'll embarrass himself botching on TV.
>>19712494consider getting your head checked
>>19712406The dirtsheets have a much wider audience than AEW television.
>>19712331>The current storyline is that MJF will be defending his AEW World title on independent shows which he claimed puts him in the calibre of touring world champions like Ric Flair, Harley Race and Buddy Rogers. (via WON daily update)And Kenny Omega.
>>19712507Overrated match, laid out terribly
>>19712507this, MJF is a better in-ring talent than most of AEW and all of WWE
I thought defending at indies was supposed to be the point of Ricochet's title
>>19712507Wow, Danielson carried him to one good match. So did CM Punk. The issue is he still can't work on his own, can't sell for shit, and just cuts the same tired promo full of cliches every week.
>>19712516no, you're just a cultist
>>19712331That's stupid
>>19712331Didn't they just make a midcard belt with that as its gimmick?
>>19712529But I said it was overrated, a cultist would buy into the hype that it's good. That makes no sense, retard.It was 6/10, way too long for how poorly it was structured. Iron man matches live and die by how they're pre-planned.
>>19712517Go to bed, Max.
>>19712517Not a fan of AEW or WWE whatsoever but I'll admit MJF is high-tier, not nearly top-tier for either company.For his presentation as an old-school heel he has a lot of bad modern habits. He fits more in-line with Cole or Gargano's ring style than any classic guyHe gets pacing and crowd interaction much better so that puts him pretty high up but there are plenty of guys better
Max doesn't move me like he used to, he was really good as a heel prick, I think >>19712507 was the last good bit he was in besides some very good matches between then and now.
>>19712528He's had bangers with multiple people and keeps things fresh and interesting. Like the time him and Darby just decided to have a wrestlefuck match and it was awesome. He's a high level talent. He can keep up with Ospreay had a killer hardcore match with Briscoe. That Mistico match was a masterclass in heel work.
>>19712550>He can keep up with OspreayKeeping up with AEW Ospreay involves a lot of waiting aroundMJF couldn't have an NJPW level match, he's safe in AEW where the crowd is forgiving and low-standards.
I can't wait to watch its gonna be awesome .That's pretty awesome!!! .
>>19712535>this Iron Man match is way too longGod E-drones are fucking dumb.
>>19712557He would adapt just like he did in CMLL. That's part of what makes him great. You might not like what he's doing but he could do what you like if he thought it was the right move for the situation.
>>19712566>e-droneOh, there you go, you self-reported as a console-warring retard.WWE fucking sucks and that Iron Man match is mid-tier lmao, 60 minutes of wrestling needs to be full of 60 minutes of worthwhile content. As it was laid out even 30 minutes would've been excessive.Terribly formatted.
>>19712537Generational talent.>>19712541His wrestling style is "Triple H but good".
>>19712567>adapt to a hot crowd and the most over babyface in mexicoIf you can't "adapt" to this you should just quit.
>>19712570Well you just have shit taste, and there's no accounting for that.
>>19712578That's okay, it's difficult to be critical of things. I'm jealous of your ability to keep slurpin' that slop!
>>19712572He's not remotely like Triple H, he's more of an indie heel, he's ROH Cole but slightly smarter in his presentation, closer to a lesser peak Steen than anything, maybe.
>>19712570trvke, the whole middle part of that match didn 't matter, it was just a beginning and an end and a good crowdokada/omega at dominion managed to fill 60 minutes perfectly with a story that was built beforehand, mjf/danielson just padded it in a predictable boring way
>>19712575And he did it as good as anyone before him. That's part of how his mind works and why he frustrates people. He wants to excel in every aspect of the business and sometimes that means he's doing something you don't like about the business. He's had some missteps but ultimately he does it.
>>19712331This will definitely save AEW.
>>19712609Against Mistico? Sure, but then again, "Americana heel against domestic Mexican babyface Mistico" is a very specific thing, the sum total of what you said was "he tried", good for him. He walked into a lay-up and did what was expected of him.Ever? Lol no. Vader sleepwalked into being a better foreign heel
>>19712609>He wants to excel in every aspect of the businesshas he tried not killing ratings whenever he gets the belt that might help
>>19712331>I'm in the same calibre as a bunch of old indie shitters and a guy that got raped in bathhousesGood for him
>>19712406The dirtsheet is recapping what the promotion explained on the TV show ya fuckin retard.
>>19712435why are you being a deliberately obtuse retard
>>19712528You’re talking about the Miz right?
>>19712331Ric flair never defended in a del taco against people who I can only assume are the cooks wearing generic masks
>>19713124You sure about that?
>>19712331I'm not saying the touring world champion gimmick is a bad thing but it's not the same as the territories days because most of the indies are just literal who promotions with no credibility and name recognition.
>>19712331I wish he just went bald and embraced the nor-wood. Jesus Christ, look at that Talmudic hair transplant.
>>19713295so an asmongold gimmick? could work
