This was one of the most one sided audiences since CM Punk 2011 MITB homecoming match environments. Hilarious segment. This contract signing had all the right elements, and the table spot made sense. Kudos to Wardlow trying to keep face. Loving this story! 10/10 for this!
MJF just cracked me up from start to finish across the segment and the Long Island crowd ate the whole thing up. Even by looking at Wardlow and Shawn Spears' eyes, they had a wonderful time delivering the story in the ring. *10/10*
Nah he’s so good on the mic he has the ability to manipulate a crowd into agreeing with his heel character it’s like turning them into heels. Kinda of like The Rock back then
It shows that MJF has the potential to be a fan favorite. Not quite a face but a tweener where he can still have the same character and be cheered by the crowd, like Stone Cold and Roddy Piper
MJF is pure Gold. Wardlow and Spears are not far behind. These guys are good, man. MJF's mic skills and jokes, Spears expressions and Wardlow's beastly and, yet, gentleman behavior. Loved the whole section.
@@souvikbeats8369 I don't know bro when Hogan smacked piper in front of his young son and said * you and your snot nosed punk son get out here" that was legendary lmaoo
Wardlow is undoubtedly the biggest success story of AEW. I can't wait to see him become the world champion. He will be the face of AEW in couple of years.
@@joshjimmykurian2499 Hey, look, I love Wardlow, but I disagree strongly with that assessment that ONLY guys who look like him should be the face of AEW. Giving a title to a guy or girl just because of how he looks is a hallmark of the other place. AEW rewards people for how over they get with the crowd or how talented they are, not because of how they look or whose last name they have.
I was at this show. This whole segment from the Dark Side of the Ring video package to Dilly's "TEN" spot to Sterling getting power-bombed through the table was nothing short of art
I love the fact that even though the crowd was on MJF's side for the entire promo, some of them still popped when Wardlow started thrashing the security team and for the powerbomb to Mark Sterling. That just shows how over Wardlow is, he can still pop a crowd even in the most magical place on earth.
It is hard to argue anyone is better on the mic than MJF. We've seen him verbally weave a masterpiece with Punk. We're watching him do it with Wardlow and in the process creating a new star. I'd love to see him take on Heyman.
Heyman is in another level, I mean yes MJF has the flow, but considering his big rise, could take 4 years to reach that level, more or less we never know 😏
MJF imo is the biggest star AEW has currently. You could argue guys like Punk, Omega, Danielson, Hangman etc but to me nobody is more must see on AEW than MJF. Just by being in a rivalry with MJF, most guys get louder reactions then ever did before. I mean for example, I don't think anybody cared more about Brian Pillman Jr than when he had his short feud with MJF. MJF is good in the ring, great on the mic and is such a good heel that most of the time, the guy who fights him gets louder reactions then ever before simply because more often than not, the crowd wants to see MJF get his ass kicked
@@yagamilight120 Eddie is definitely up there for sure, but idk Eddie is fantastic at making everything feel more real, while MJF is great at making you cheer the other guy. For me, MJF is number one while Eddie is definitely top 5
@@CyanSussy What works about Eddie is that for a lot of people, his promos are so good because when he talks about himself, he draws a lot on his own real life experiences. In the world of wrestling where a ton of guys have issues sounding genuine, Eddie for a lot of people stands out. His ring work definitely not as good as his promos, but he can hold his own in the ring
As great as MJF is, I have such a soft spot for Shawn Spears and am v happy that he's finding a reliable and entertaining midcard spot for him in being involved in MJF storylines.
When MJF's career is over he will be one of the greatest heels and promo cutters of all time. He is an absolute gem of a wrestler. He's probably the most impressive wrestler we've had in years. He feels like he was ripped right out of the ruthless aggression and attitude era.
Mjf has become one of the greatest heal/greatest talkers of all times I give h props he's come a long way and he's gonna make it even further he's got the looks to become a major player and a champion as he already is which he should and the fans that stand behind him knows that hats off to him to applaud the mastermind behind the mic 2024 here we come baby!!
This is my story...I stoped watching wrestling like 10 years ago when everything became crap...and now the only person that makes it entertaining again is mjf...like honestly hes like the only guy who makes wanna watch wrestling again, I hope AEW knows what kind of diamond they have with this guy
Mjf is the best thing to happen in wrestling in a longtime! Aew has a gem! Top name taking over the industry. Best on the mic in all of wrestling right now!
When he referenced 2024 and “the guy in the back not wanting to talk about it either “ was straight gold Lmaoo. Trolling the whole company switch is pure MJf
I love when MJF is in Long Island, because even when he's pandering to the crowd & shaking hands and kissing babies, it still feels so disingenuous. Like at a moment's notice, he's just waiting to flip on the crowd. What a great heel MJF is, I bet the building will explode when & if the symphony is delivered....
MJF : "The last thing I want each and every single one of you to do is create the loudest boo in the history of professional wrestling. Ok Wardlow, the floor is yours." Long Island: Boos. CM Punk : "Is that all you got? Man Chicago was so much louder. Seriously, that's all you got? Somebody call Barry Trotz. I figured out why the Islanders have yet to win a game in this building.
it's simply amazing to see how absolutely star ready wardlow has become in so long.....this dude simply gets how to get over and has never seemed like it is too big for him..

@@a1pha_star I agree with you
MJF is the maestro and he orchestrated every crowd reaction with great precision it becomes a symphony and i love every second of it
They were holding onto every last word he said.
The best part of Wardlow is his non verbal eye brow tilts and his eyes. You could tell that all the players involved were having fun.
Crowd loving every moment too.

Going to be great to see what comes of him.
Lately the 26 year vets haven’t been cutting good promos though. The promo game is a young guy’s game now.
Not that much a head of time. When he's doing the belt lashing things 2 years after it was already done with cody. Boring

Wardlow seemed to be having fun being a heel again even if only for 1 night 😃
MJF is absolutely brilliant. An old school heel. His promo skills are ridiculous. He looks like he’s having the time of his life.
Repeated conditions as it was done with the fued with Cody. But seeing home coming villain treated as a hero is fantastic
I mean it's the same story he did with Jericho as well.
It makes sense tho. It’s full circle for Wardlow
The conditions are the combination of the feud between him and both Cody and Jericho.
