I liked it. It was a typical cheap sneaky move by MJF but Sammy instantly picked up on it. I like that AEW doesn't portray their characters as complete idiots like WWE does and I feel like MJF has enough to claim plausible deniability. His smug look when Sammy quit was gold. I'm loving how this story is developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving how this story is developing. I liked all that, but it was more the fact that - as invisible cameras don’t exist in AEW, and Sammy had already addressed the camera man - it doesn’t make sense as a move to try and record Sammy does it? Like, the provocation in itself was recorded. Besides that little bit, I thought the rest played out beautifully. I’ve you say, MJF’s face when Sammy quit was A*.

He's been caught doing dodgy stuff on TV before after all. In fact that was the reason Sammy threatened to quit in the first place. Basically he set Sammy up by making him think he was setting him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, if Inner Circle watch that tape back there’s no way they can see anything other than MJF being a turd. I suppose MJF could blow it off by saying that he wasn't recording them and Sammy was being paranoid. But yeah was an awkward moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy was clear that if MJF kept messing with him he'd leave so MJF messed with him in a way he could plausibly deny. Good stuff in my opinion, neither looks an idiot but Sammy looks like a babyface that has let their passion get the best of them and MJF looks like a dick heel who's ready to exploit that.

Paid Members Maverick Posted February 12, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Sad nobody's mentioned Arn's son. The guy looks hilariously like an 80's wrestler and really like Arn. He's being trained at the minute. Need him in an old school tag team asap. Not sure how far along he is but if they bring him in I hope it's not with the Nightmare family. Lee Johnson looked a right berk here. Is it just me or is Arn getting in progressively better shape since coming back to TV? He looked pretty rough initially in those jumpers. Edited February 12, 2021 by Maverick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’m probably reading a bit too much into it, but did anyone else find having an advertisement for the Nightmare Family BLM T-shirt, then an hour later having an angle similar to the murder of James Byrd a bit tonedeath? Or am I finding something that isn’t actually there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
