And when it comes to MJF, the man is amazing on the microphone but he's kind of average in the ring. I know he's not there to do flips or anything but his mic skills far outweigh his wrestling skills

AEW has a lot of people that I really do love. There's just something there that I can't connect with

No, I know. 100%. And it works. He builds a hell of a feud. It's just that outside of that match with Punk....his matches haven't lived up to the hype he builds through his promos

like in Europe we are flexy on both styles - but an American TV audience does not want a Puro product like New Japan.

No, it's very hard to find the balance. I think AEW has tried it in a way. I think Trips has tried it since he started booking. I just think both WWE and AEW haven't found the balance yet.

 

[CakeWalker]

[CakeWalker]

its either an american tv model

 

[CakeWalker]

of promos and segments
