ChrisBTY posted:Hot Take: MJF was a good champion whose reign lasted too long and burned people out badly. His tendencies towards entertainment didn't help. I was there when MJF and Cole went against FTR and lost the tag title match last July I was part of the chant begging them to hug it out This title reign will be looked on more fondly a few years down the road, especially after MJF gets the belt again. I think the bad execution of the devil angle was just too much.

The hate for the whole reign is just weighed down by recency bias When we have time to not be annoyed at the kingdom in shittily made devil hoodies, but go back and enjoy the match quality, I think anyone who is currently down on mjf’s run will probably come around. Like I said, especially after the second or third MJF title reign. Could be worse, could be better. Dude’s only 27, wrestlers usually come into their prime in their 30s

duckdealer posted:I don't think recency bias is the issue. The worst part of the reign was months ago. Most people already agree there were good matches. I think the reign had several great matches. It also included some of the worst stuff AEW has done. The terrible silkscreened devil hoodies were on my tv this last Wednesday, actually And that is emblematic of my personal issue with anything MJF related that I did not like. The hoodies aren’t something I would typically enormously care about, but the devil stuff all fell so flat for me, bad production value on the costuming was enough to break the camel’s back for me The storyline stuff will become less fresh in our/my memory as time goes on, but the matches will still have been bangers, and going back to rewatch them will be sweet.

StarkRavingMad posted:I don't think I'm ever going to get over Suzuki just getting booked on random Dynamites, it's the coolest thing Tribalism bad, yes yes But wwe has such a skill for taking someone unfathomably cool and turning them into “just another guy”. They’ve done it to folks like ricochet, they’ve done it to folks like styles, nakamura, Apollo crews, etc It is so rad how there are a number of dudes who keep coming back to AEW for special matches and they keep feeling like big goddamn deals, like Suzuki and Okada I even still feel like there is something special about watching takeshita matches. Hopefully tk can keep ospreay feeling that way I would say Jeff Cobb feels that way, if I had more than like one appearance to go off of

ChrisBTY posted:Saturday is when I learned the Edge-a-cution was renamed the Grindhouse. Wasn’t the move they called the grindhouse the crippler crossface? I thought the edge-a-cution was his elevated figure four thing When he finished the match with a crossface, at first I wasn’t into it, but he teamed with and against Benoit a whole bunch, I can dig cope trying to rehab the move some

I realize that it’s just a wrestler saying something hyperbolic But edge had a long fuckin’ career where he feuded with a lot of big names and had matches with a lot of notable dudes. At the end of the match, he said he had never been hit that hard in his life, and he sounded overjoyed at the match. That’s proof to me that Suzuki hits harder than Taker, JBL, Angle…

I an extremely amused that they now have just as many title belts as they need to strap up swerve, Okada, copeland, ospreay and Moxley (and jay white and Jericho!) while not having anyone holding something like the Owen cup that would feel forced at all

Shard posted:that's the problem there are so many drat good matches it's hard to remember them all. Hell a lot of them will happen in a random rampage sometimes! Exactly In six months we will be discussing banger matches and someone will go “remember swerve/claudio and that rad stomp” and we will all go “OHHHHHHH THAT RULED”
