MJF was the third best promo in his own segment

[firsttimelongtime]

Good segment. I am very tired of MJF. Hope Darby wins at Double or Nothing

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

MJF's promo was honestly good tonight, he complimented Darby and Sting well

But yes Darby constantly outclasses him because he doesn't let anything MJF says effect him, he sees right through it. Perfect foil

And Sting is f***in Sting lol

[The Ichi]

Nah MJF needs to retain at DoN so I can see him drop the belt to Hangman at Wembley.

I can dream.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I don't think he was supposed to be "good" in the sense that he was meant to let Sting and Darby shine.

Sting ran away with the night, I was popping the whole time

He’s doing what a heel should do in that they should never outclass a babyface in a promo battle.

Between the Four Pillars I really thought Jungle Boy would be the 2nd best promo but Darby is surprisingly a damn solid promo

He sure did. All 3 guys did their job perfect. MJF was strong on the mic, Darby continued his momentum, and Sting nailed his part. It was a perfect segment.

I really want them to call an audible and strap up Darby who really seems like it's his time. But the plan on MJF was for him to have a long run, and Tony doesn't adjust well.

[ppl591]

Sting promo was 10/10. That's why he's the man. But man it makes me wish I could see a long term feud between him and MJF.

Side note, not sure how most feel but I loved Joker sting

[Fade]

That was an incredible segment.

MJF is a million times better reacting than he is just spinning his own yard. Darby kills it on the mic the last year like no one I’ve seen in wrestling before. People hang on his words, I think because of the authenticity, but he remains casual, yet focused and passionate. I was watching that thinking “Darby has to get the title eventually”.

And Sting’s bit was incredible too. Man’s gonna have fun on his way out. The “Cody” shit was incredible.

Only nitpick, Darby didn’t have to say anything after Stings bit, crowd was hyped, all they had to do was stare off and do the spit bit.

Ps Darby and MJF are incredible foils because Darby’s completely himself. 90% of MJF is facade.

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

Sting seems like one of the few genuinely good guys in a business full of shitheads and scumbags. I'm so glad he's been able to have this last run.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Really wish we'd been seeing this MJF for the past seven months of him main eventing because he's so much better on the mic in this storyline than he's been against Mox or Danielson and it's not even close.

I saw someone say it at one point but Darby has sort of a Bret Hart like quality to his mic work. He's not the best at it, it is just you believe what he's saying and he gets his point across.

The antithesis of Sammy who is really bad on the mic and sounds completely hollow. Jungle Boy is mostly just kind of stilted but that's fine.

[Mid-Carder]

MJF could have outshone them if that was the intention of the segment. The point was to spotlight Sting and particularly Darby.

Right??? I was blown away by how good he was tonight. He was solid when I saw the 4 pillars promo-off, but tonight he was GOOD.

I'd say he was the best promo of the three for me.

He excels at wearing his heart on his sleeve, and he's tapped into that with his promo work.

[Hypnosis]

That was highly entertaining, especially Sting's part of the segment with the cheerleader bit and namedropping Cody.

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

I loved it.

MJF and Darby feel like actual rivals, Sammy and MJF just feel like two jerks being jerks to each other. And while Jack Perry has improved a ton, dude doesn’t feel like he’s on MJF’s level.

Imo, Darby’s the only one who feels on MJF’s level.

I like how all three challengers have their thing.

Jungle Boy: a part of him wishes he could be MJF, thought they could have been friends.

Darby: can’t stand what MJF stands for, has his own view of the wrestling business.

Sammy: talks about his struggles to get to the top, with the problem being that doesn’t really jive with his kayfabe history.

Obviously, there’s overlap. But it feels distinct. And you can see some differences in how Max talks to and about Jack, versus how he talks to Darby. It’s clear which one he dislikes more. And he might be most dismissive of Sammy—which we haven’t really seen yet. Just good character work and little details that give you things to invest in.

I couldn't watch the show live because I'm a little sick and staying up to 1 a.m. was not a good idea, so I'm only catching up with the show now.

All I have to say is that I f***ing love Sting. I was smiling so hard throughout his promo. The reference to Joker Sting was probably my favorite thing.
