CI Wrestling Thread #56

Why are they doing this? Its one thing for MJF and jj for unknown reasons but nobody thinks Rhodes is winning.

He’s an roh tag champ so let’s put him with MJF? Okay!
I was thinking about that and I’m not sure either. But I can say MJF’s crowd was dead for his promo last night. I’m not sure if they are going to have him try to murder Rhodes to get some heat back or what but that was my only guess.

JJ/Rhodes/Jericho shouldn’t be getting tv time in 2025 - that’s just clogging up time for someone they could be building up for the future.

I just found it entertaining that MJF clapped back at Korderas whose joined the long list of folks who bash everything about AEW to get clicks.

Maybe they are doing an MJF wants to get rid of all the old guys in AEW until the feud with Hangman finally takes off. It's not great but I'm sure we will get a good match out of it next week.

Thing is MJF is saying stuff that’s already widely known or already been said - meanwhile he’s just treading water against low/mid card guys - just not ideal for someone you gave a nice raise to.

Swerve messed with max caster for one week then went back to feuding with main event talent.
 
MJF might wanna ask himself why he's being booked like a dipshit instead. Screwing around with uncool legends and elders, lazy taped vignettes, failed storylines. I hope AEW and their fans don't think he's going to re-sign again for another 3-5 years once his current deal is up. I can't imagine him as a lifer there and it's likely he jumps to WWE. So AEW, imo, has limited time with him. They need to make the most of it because while I do think Swerve, Ospreay, and Toni Storm are AEW lifers, MJF isn't. And WWE won't drop the ball with him. He'll have programs with all their current top guys and future guys like Breakker and Fatu.

MJF pretty clearly has a program building with Hangman. I swear some of y’all don’t pay any attention and just repeat what click bait engagement farmers say.
Building, sure. Let's start it with a quickness and stop screwing around with Jarrett and ROH superstar Dustin Rhodes then. AEW hasn't dropped the ball with MJF for the most part. He's accomplished a ton but you can't deny the last year has been a bit lackluster. Whatever aura he had isn't there right now. Hopefully Page brings that out in him and we see the best of MJF again. We saw a better Swerve in his feud with Page.

IWC: AEW doesn’t tell any long term stories
Also IWC: Build this story quick!
 
lol on the Fightful Discord, SRS said Jordyn Grace is taking a paycut to go to the WWE because she had to shut down all of her other revenue streams. Apparently her OnlyFans was quite lucrative.

lol no. I'm saying get it started now, not build it quickly. They can have a six month program if they want but teasing it while one of them is fumbling about with 50+ year olds ain't it. Would be like teasing a feud with Drew and Punk but first Drew needs to get past the LWO and RVD. You can admit that at least the last few weeks of MJF haven't made a lick of sense.
