I mean true, but I got no problem myself with Hangman as champ, I’m just a Punk mark :lmao so that’s why I personally want him winning. But yeah for someone who doesn’t want him with it, I can understand your reasoning there.
I think they may turn MJF face, you heard it hear first!

Mean that is only if he can survive Wardlow and how the hell would you make MJF face...he is a natural heel

Would get over as well as the Miz did as a babyface
yeah, I think you're 100% wrong on that. Also, MJF has a lot more range than the Miz and already cut an amazing babyface promo. all you need is a good redemption story and punk to be heel. MJF says "I told you he was like this from the start:" . easy stuff.

I don’t know man. The times he’s been in Long Island tell me other wise, and then his promo when he was talking about Punk quoting on him and making him feel he couldn’t do this and everything gives me a feeling he can pull it off.

Ok so what happens when he’s done working with Punk? I know the promo you’re talking about and it was a great promo. But what’s next?

Cause in 2013, Miz got over as a babyface going up against anti-American Antonio Cesaro. But when that feud was over, Miz floundered as a face because he had no babyface redeeming qualities.

So yeah…you can get sympathy for MJF when it comes to his history with Punk. How do you keep that train going afterwards though?

But even then, how well will that go over?
as well as the quality of the writing.

AEW has a pretty damn good track records at getting faces over off good stories, don't see why it would be an issue here

also, people forget, but a little secret is MJF can wrestle really fucking well. I'm 100% confident he'd be over as a babyface

The main thing is just that MJF is a better heel and sure you can turn him face and face other heels but how well will that go
