Like a lot of people on here, I've seen the two of them doing this shtick on social media for a few years, where it's obviously a long running joke between two good friends. It's pretty funny on there and they both play it up. I do wonder how anyone who hasn't seen the social media interactions took the segment though. Because out of context, it really was just Caster sexually harassing a guy who wanted no part of it. That's really not funny, especially in pro wrestling where there's a history of this stuff behind the scenes. I do think we're going to end up with the Acclaimed making up the numbers in a few MJF vs BCG matches though so hopefully the on screen stuff won't look as questionable as it develops. Idk, I think this is going just a bit too deep. I didn't see anyone reacting anywhere that said this looked uncomfortable or it was like sexual harassment. I assume they'll play it up a bit more, but I don't think they're going to go out there and try and make people feel uncomfortable about it, I doubt they even do it at all if there isn't a point to be made. Caster touched MJF without permission and then MJF explained how Caster had been stalking him. That's pretty textbook sexual harassment, and I'm not even the first person in this thread to say that. Don't try that in your workplace or you're going to be in a lot of trouble. Do I think that's how AEW is going to play it? Of course not. MJF will scissor Caster in a few weeks to a huge pop, no doubt. But in isolation, it was really, really skeevy and I think AEW should be careful with how it develops, that's all.

I think Max's reaction is what really caused it to come off that way. He himself seemed REALLY skeeved out and upset. If he played it more for comedy it may have come off better, but he played it like he's REALLY tired of being sexually harassed.

In the hands of anyone else I would be really doubtful about them just finding some new ill-fitting odd couple arrangement to bring out MJF's face side. Just a cynical booking pivot to try and recapture the Cole team that sold so much merch. But it's MJF, who got the kangaroo kick over, so I have the utmost faith that he's going to scissor Caster to a massive pop. MJF is getting people to just chant whatever random shit he says, so this can only end well if the goal is to have him and Acclaimed/Daddy Ass team up. On that note, I guess that means we get Ass Boys/Juice go for the trios titles. Only if they call themselves "Ass Juice"

Yeah, you can still have MJF go off on him by saying "we're boys and came up together but you've gotta cut the shit, the rats have been asking me questions" or some other Scumbag™ response that makes it clear it isn't actually harassment and sets up whatever's next.

He rubbed MJF's shoulders. I seriously doubt anybody outside of this board is freaked out about the "sexual harassment".
The "making advances on twitter" stuff is a whole other ball of yarn, but like someone else said it's an ongoing shtick they've been doing for years.
