General AEW Thread

I personally didnt think it took shots at WWE and more taking shots at peddled rumors . Just my 2 cents

 

[Hoss]

I dunno why people hate on that MJF/Cole segment or MJF's promo. Now obviously no one has to like or even love it, but "hating it" is a strong negative response, that makes it look like the people who feel that way, either just quickly labeled it as lazy and/or just being a copy and didn't really register what the segment accomplished, or they are just being negative for the sake of it.

It was all in all very effective heel work by MJF and overall I think it's quite the accomplishment to basically parody a promo of your opponent from years ago, especially one that isn't just a throw away run-of-the-mill promo, without changing much, but it still not only works in context of the character who delivers it, but also fits the surrounding stories. Whoever came up with that backstage, did their homework.

Didn't like it one bit from any perspective, said as much while it was happening and I haven't moved on that stance. For what I personally like, and expect, and want to see, that shit simply wasn't it. All due respect to the thought put into it, and I'm not claiming it was objectively bad, I simply didn't enjoy it at all. Obviously hate is an exaggeratiom. Get off my cock and balls about it.

Also probably notable that if it wasn't a world title angle, and I didn't hold MJF to such a high standard already, I probably wouldn't have felt any particular type of way about it. In the context of it though it is for sure one of my least favorite AEW segments.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Such is life

 

[Hoss]

Indeed so. Good news is there's another Dynamite right around the corner

 

[Jimmy King]

I thought the promo was fine for what it was. I think Adam Cole shined a lot more than MJF but I didn’t think either one of them were bad. I’ve seen some criticisms for it and that’s fine, to each their own.

 

[Roy Mustang]

Like MJF now and again will have promo I hate and find either lame or just bad for various reasons. Most of the time I do love his promos and I think he is one of the best on the mic but sometimes he does ones like the one on dynamite that make me roll my eyes especially when he leans too much on shooty meta stuff. It was also my least fav part of the four pillars feud

 

[Daddy Dom]

Mjf is bascially the full potential of what Dolph should have been or what people thought Dolph should or could of been I'm curious on what your guys thoughts of that are.

 

[Daddy Dom]

Not to say Dolph has had a bad career

 

[Alexa]

What does that even mean?

 

[Daddy Dom]

MJF's heights and where he is how he is booked is what alot of people might have invisioned where Dolph should have been or could have been if booked properly

 

[Alexa]

I don't really see it

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yea, Dolph should have had a better career than Max deserves

 

[Hoss]

I kinda think it's too simple of a comparison. They're both in the cocky heel category but much different styles. MJF is a more cerebral heel in the style of a Bockwinkel or Blanchard, or more recently maybe someone like TNA Bobby Roode. Dolph is much more flashy and his cockiness is predicated on being a show stealer, hence the obvious comparisons to HBK. I think the two are very different beyond the surface level.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Thats like comparing flair n hbk lite
