And MJF is a great call as well.

What does MJF stand for

Loving all this news I'm hearing so far.

I just hope between now and April AEW and NJPW would/will have some agreement in place so the G1 Supercard during WrestleMania weekend will be awesome.

Pardon my ignorance but who the hell is MJF?

Massive Jaw Fucking

Maxwell Jacob Friedman

ROH's half of the G1 Supercard is going to be a two hour Ironman Match between Matt Taven and Dalton Castle.

Is the tampon girl in?

If Jericho needed WWE, he’d be there.

Was fast forwarding through the stream and stopped when I noticed PAC.

Glad to see Jericho as well.

I want to see Jericho and MJF as rivals or tag partners. They could work gold together imo.

Yes, I made that thread

What I watched of OWE it was pretty cool. Production values were insane.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman and he will want you to know he is better than you

Seems its everyone in general who attended the rally getting turned away regardless if they bought or wore AEW merch.

Would explain the stuff from the sheets last week about WWE sending hidden officials for this rally.

I would figure most of those people would already have tickets those are the few wrestling fans left.

OWE is a very lucha style in general, the head trainers are mostly former luchadors. Pro Rasslin hasn't ever been real popular in China so there weren't any Chinese pro wrestlers of notoriety to choose from so the billionaire who started OWE hired Luchadors to bring pro wrestling to China.

Not impressed with Jericho going there, only because he ran his mouth patting himself on the back for YEARS about how he would never work for anybody but Vince.

Just don't brag about something like that and I would be fine with him signing there, but as it is him signing there just means he is full of shit and nothing he says means anything.

WWE seem to be pissed off about it.

Apparently he was still listed as being part of the SmackDown roster all the way up until this morning. And he got moved to the Alumni second almost instantly after the announcement.

He’ll probably just use that to heel it up if anyone mentions it to him.

Oh I'm sure Jericho will have a successful run, dude is as close to a sure bet there is in pro wrestling.

That said, it does hurt his credibility.

Neville signing does nothing for me. He is just a rehash character of what he was in WWE, with the addition of WWE held me back. That is the same gimmick every new Impact wrestler had from like 2005-2014.

Neville didn't move the needle as NXT champ, he didn't move the needle upon his WWE callup, and he only moved the needle as a cruiserweight because he actually had a character instead of being a spot monkey guy from the CWC.

If I am being honest, if they want to do something interesting, they need to sign some people that werent already "All In". Otherwise just say off the bat its gonna be the same people and move on.

Ehhh maybe I'm just cynical from years of WWE being lazy and even more years of Impact being absolute garbage.

Most importantly, these guys are basically all the same to me. Workrate and superkicks. I can see those guys in WWE with Ziggler and Rollins and the Usos and a few others. I am gonna want more then the "hey we are all friends and we believed in ourselves enough to make this happen and yay".

Jericho signing is definitely a big deal for them. To me it says the top level talent are trusting Cody to do a good job. Jericho wouldn't just sign with anyone is he felt the gig would suck.

It gets people talking at least. hopefully they can continue building on the momentum they have right now.

The slow dissolution of the bullet Club followed by the reconciliation and creation of the elite was a good story that brought lots of eyes to NJPW and BTE. So they have the potential to have entertaining stories. That said creating a storyline and juggling numerous storylines for an entire promotion are two different things, so we’ll see.

They need Bruce Campbell as an on air personality. I don't give a shit if he knows a lick about the business.

It really doesn't mean any of that. It doesn't mean anything more then Jericho agreed to be affiliated and have a few matches in exchange for talent getting booked for his booze cruise once or twice a year.

He can be a ring announcer. He has experience in that. :shifty:

MJF rules imho! Really good "cocky heel"

I gotta say, I’m way on board for the teases Hangman/PAC feud. I fuckin loved what I saw out of Hangman in the G1 last year and I think he can be a star. I adored PAC’s 205 run. Could be an interesting dynamic with some killer matches.

Oh, man. I forgot about his Spiderman cameos.

I've been watching the AEW rally off and on. the fuq is with Neville interrupting with wrestling gear on? lol fucks sake, man.

cool :y:

Damn...the pyro and fireworks for the rally probably equaled a year of WWE's.

Don't think Wrestlemania will be coming to Jacksonville anytime soon...

I told my wife that the Double or Nothing event is happening in Vegas and the first thing she said was “Can we go?!?”

Vegas is about four hours away.

Party time.

Who's MJF?

Joey Janela

Who?
