I'm typically one that believes there's no line a heel can't cross, no exceptions, as long as they get their comeuppance.
That second part is the tricky one, just because they so often don't.

I'll be honest, Christian's being MJF better than MJF does.

Christian continuing to do some of the best work of his career, Jungle Boy is going to come out of this as one hell of a babyface.

I like how Christian has been dressing. Those turtlenecks. He's got that "Asshole Professor Who Took Your Girlfriend and Mom" vibe going on.

His stuff just sounds a lot more casual and genuine. Like I know I'm watching a character, but it doesn't feel like I am.

Eh.
I have never liked Christian, I just can't get invested.
But Luchasaurus as Kane and Jungle Boy as X-Pac, just in reverse, works well.
Just cannot care about Christian.

No I just mean he is flat out better at it because he has been in the business way longer

I'll be honest, Christian's being MJF better than MJF does. Agreed. Christian crossing the line in promos works within the context of not only his character but also his character’s motivation. It’s a much nicer blend. MJF a lot of times feels like he goes for the low hanging fruit just to get a reaction, but his delivery is so good that it masks it. Christian is knocking this out of the park so far.

MJF and Christian have nothing in common really, so not sure why theyre being compared so much? Both good heel promos but you could say the young bucks are no Christian, Jay lethal is no MJF etc
They're just two good heels lol

It's a lot of fun though.

So Christian just hates people with dead parents. WB corporate synergy, have Jungle Boy return with Batman.

Christian: "your dad is dead and also you're not fit to lace up his boots you f***ing loser. And, who the f*** is Griff Garrison?"

Unless there's a turn next week, seems like a stepdown to be feuding with The Blondes

Unless there's a turn next week, seems like a stepdown to be feuding with The Blondes Considering that we all thought last week was setting up Christian vs. Matt Hardy, I think a general theme is "Christian running down unpopular babyfaces in AEW for heat". Makes me wonder who the next target is. Besides, the Blondes have proven to be expendable at this point. Remember that they decided that Julia Hart's heel turn was better suited to a team she had practically no history on than a team she literally spent her entire AEW run with. Makes me wonder if they're going to position them as Dark regulars from now on, or retool them for Ring of Honor down the road. But tonight was odd given that Christian got cheered for saying "You suck, Pillman!" when, let's face it, Pillman Jr. does suck. He's no Wes Brisco bad, but he's in that Cody Hall territory where if he left the business tomorrow, would anyone be upset?

I think next week might be a last chance sort of thing for the Blondes; it's sink or swim and if they can't be sympathetic babyfaces against the most hated man in the company then you might as well give up on them.

Wes Brisco at least married Red Velvet so he is a bigger winner in real life lol, Pillman jr is more like Dominik Mysterio.
