So that MJF promo was interesting. Probably his best, very refreshing for him to cut one without being an edgelord. Him talking about his rough childhood, difficulties, looking up to Punk followed by feeling betrayed when he left wrestling. It gives you some sympathy for MJF while still thinking "this dude is nuts". I'm enjoying how this feud is turning out.

To repost what I said in the thread:
I love that
It's a small seed of doubt, MJF planted a small, single, solitary seed of doubt, and it was glorious
He's got CM Punk out here questioning himself, and his motives. MJF continues to show he's a master manipulator
For all the times MJF felt down in this feud mic wise, he got on top here, he picked his spot, he swung a haymaker
Bravo.

Honestly kind of served to make me hyped for the rematch with Punk and I didn't enjoy their first match.

Incredible promo and I think I know where this is going, CM Punk is going to take pity on MJF during the dog collar match because MJF will start crying crocodile tears.

At the start of this feud when Punk absolutely obliterated MJF on the mic I hoped this feud would help him level up his game and further his character beyond just him being a dickhead, and we saw that growth tonight.

MJF is so good. He's an awesome douchebag heel, but he could be an awesome babyface if he wanted to. I like that even Schiavone started to feel sympathy for him by the end of the promo.
I'm sure it's just psychological manipulation by the MJF character, but there was probably a lot of truth in those words from MJF the guy.

Does feel like this whole thing has lit a much-needed fire under MJF. This feud feels like this is the first time he's actually been bothered to try since the Cody feud.

That promo was incredible, and it not ending with any overt twist or surprise only serves to interest me even more about how that could go and what the next step for it is. I imagine it's a swerve for heat in the end, but the fact they've let it sit and stew is a really nice change from the way these sorts of promos usually play out

Incredible thread title. Bravo.
This continues my favorite feud in AEW history. Intrigue keeps building. It won’t, but this match should absolutely headline the PPV.

I love how there was enough seeds of doubt planted in whether or not MJF was sincere about this or just ginning up sympathy just to make Punk look like a shithead.
