I've always enjoyed MJF, but he's really on a roll these days. I love that, even now, I'm not sure if he's a recovering heel or playing everyone. He's so good at being a likable piece of crap. Tony definitely needs to open up his wallet and hold on to him next year.
I do think that long term storytelling in general is in disarray right now because of injuries and having to fire Punk, but I'm willing to cut AEW some slack. When the stories are able to play out, they're usually worth the wait.
I'm a little fatigued from PPV overload, tbh. Hoping there aren't as many next year. While they've all been enjoyable, wrestling-wise, I don't feel like there has been enough time in between them this year to build storylines that make me care about the payoff at the PPV.
Just some general thoughts. AEW got me back into wrestling after 30 years. I love it, but right now it feels like it's in a holding pattern instead of full speed ahead.
I'm sure Tony is gonna pay the man whatever MJF wants.
If the AEW and HBO Max deal happens we might see 12 paper views in a year. That is if the rumor is true.
I'm glad to hear AEW brought you back!
