Regal was the guy you hated as a kid, but love as an adult. The guy is that damn good and he's gonna help MJF be that guy
Wow...that was prophetic
Are you a wizard
He’s gonna help AEW period
He did literally and physically
As an adult that I do hate Regal.
Only a legend like Regal could make an honest comeback to a superstar making promo like that and stand his own ground. Great work from both men
Regal is greatly underrated
Regal is such a pro and MJF is special
I was like dahm hes going a long time hows regal going to respond. Then boom regal put his dick on the table
because its real beef
When you have a promo/segment that's 15 minutes long without a physical altercation but pure tension, suspense, and great storytelling... You are delivering the best professional wrestling has to offer. Beautifully done by both MJF and William Regal. MJF is a generational talent.
The best part of it was that you got so emotionally invested that it didn't FEEL like 15 minutes.
Factz Big Factz
This is pro wrestling as it's purest for sure.
"I'm Better than You.... and You Know It(, you S.O.B.) !"
When you get 15 mins of a promo, you know you can cut a promo
"You've had it easy sunshine." - William Regal
Brilliant how he went from passionate speech to quietly schooling MJF...👏👏👏
🤩🤩☯️🆚🇺🇸🇺🇲👊🤗🤩
Regal should be in the Hall of Fame 😅
Wonderful to hear as a Brit when his regional working-class accent emerges.
Then I will say you had it easy Regal because of your brass knuckles.
@CyberAnonymous88 It can't have been comfortable trying to wrestle with brass knuckels stashed next to his meat and two veg.
This is a villain's origin story being told with MJF. First we got a insight into his childhood with Punk now we got a glimpse into his early adult life and the beginning of his career all we're missing is his teenage years
His teenage years were where CM Punk left pro wrestling in 2014
His teenage years were in all seasons of South Park 🤫. He was Kyle.
someone took his spinney jew toy
CM Punk v MJF 2 would have been slick but Punk is such a dick he cant keep it professional so hes now out of AEW
Man if punk was world champion n mjf going after him guess we will never get that.
William is looking at MJF like “You became exactly what I knew you could become”
So William actually predicted that at first when he met Maxwell ?
^ why do you think he was pulled aside while the others kept wrestling rounds after rounds
A tough love dad approving of his son.
@Distortion0 you guys are fkn delusional
😱😱😱😱😱
MJF and Sir William Regal out there teaching a master class in how to deliver promos.
Woe betides any wrestler that still dishes out lame-ass promos after watching this Picasso-level masterpiece.
You cant teach that you have live those nitty gritty experiences to get on that level and talk about it
It's a gosh damn shame Regal never held the heavyweight championship. Definitely one of the most underrated wrestlers ever
MJF was thoroughly great at this but when Regal said “You’ve had it easy, sunshine” it stopped MJF’s momentum and had the crowd in his side again. That was a perfectly delivered line. It gave me chills
It sorta did, you're right...but that's part of the reason it was a great segment. It had layers, it told a story (albeit long), and it had the fans changing their views. It wasn't so much a promo "battle," like we knew MJF and Punk would be...like, we all anticipated that would be a series of salvos back and forth, and that's what we got. This was much deeper, more emotional, more serious, and it took us on a journey. It was exceptional.
That was UNREAL. I didn't think there was any way he could come back from what MJF was saying but he did!
That was UNREAL. I didn't think there was any way he could come back from what MJF was saying but he did!
Regal is AMAZING
Hi
William smiling made me feel that he is proud to what he sees to MJF
After ditching him and not putting his money on him back then, yeah.
What
He could be proud but he wasn't wrong he hasn't done anything but had some good promos
MJF was absolutely killed it with the “Fighting for my life, because wrestling is my life.” Then kept going with “I have this promo still saved on my phone…” Regal could not keep a straight face.
At last. One of them is understood🤛
AEW should consider themselves lucky that they have somebody like William Regal. The man has so much experience, it's unbelievable!
Lucky? They went out and signed him, they pay him. It has nothing to do with luck. They know what he offers.
@ultimatemagic2125 But Tony Khan doesn't listen to Regal.
Thats the one thing i love about MJF, dude mixes "real" life scenarios with the taptent of wrestling Kayfabe, he's a amazing storyteller, and those are super rare to find, like he isn't the best technical wrestler but that's a trait that you can learn and he gets better and better each day. His promos his arcs is what makes you want to see more of him
@ King Lusion your a liar.
@DapsAllAround the reason why is because he is what he would describe as a 'mark', that's not meant negatively, as he really believes in pro-wrestling as an actual sport. Which in these days is quite different from other people, as he focuses on story-telling and selling a match, rather than needing a match to sell a story.
I love how William Regal’s smirk just slowly gets wider and wider as MJF keeps talking, perfect facial expressions
The layers in this promo are next level. Max wins the crowd over with his emotion and passion. They were booing Regal when he started to speak. Regal unfazed, wins the crowd back by acknowledging the greatness he saw in him while pointing out the shortcuts he has taken. Brilliant stuff.
Watching old Regal videos and learning his personal life. I have come to agree with most. Regal is greatly underrated.
Regal is so AWESOME. Just being able to do this and completely take MJF out of his game... and not even give him an avenue at which he can retaliate.... THAT is true villainy at it's finest!
Right? Regal managed to turn the heat around, and he made it look easy. Masterfully done.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!
Thats exactly why I freakin LOVE AEW!!
I didn't think Regal could come back from what MJF said but Regal is truly a legend. What a promo and what a segment! Reminds me of the MJF vs Punk promo
As soon as MJF demanded Regal look him in the eyes, and Regal did, then leaned in and smiled, I knew he was going to slap MJF down when he got a mic in hand. Wasn't sure how, to be fair.
Regal will destroy anybody in a formal way
Regal is going to join mjf and screw mox !
Regal is always my favorite British Legendary Wrestler hated the guy back then in WCW but hey love him now!
This segment will be enormously underrated for years to come, emotionally charged promos, learning lessons, literally everything Regal said was a lesson in how to be a great heel in the world of professional wrestling. Straight from the horses mouth, what a phenomenal segment
This is a masterclass template!
Yes indeed
Damn, so far this has just been amazing. This promo is going to be talked about for a very long time
Regal has some of the better promos in the game. Underrated. Regal on HHH, Regal on Cesaro, Regal on Dean Ambrose. Legendary stuff. I still remember the feud he had with the then Ambrose when he described the man as someone that: if I took a man into the parking lot and lit him on fire, everyone would flee but Dean Ambrose would come warm his hands by the flames. I mean, what a freakin' line. What a way to put a guy over. Geez.
Underrated?? Wtf u talking about?
This promo is being praised endlessly in a way not many others have been
I like the fact MJF is like a film villain whose backstory was a squeaky clean innocent guy who kept trying but slowly went darker and more hateful of the world he once innocenly loved.
MJF is putting a “best promo I’ve seen in a while” on a weekly basis. Truly a generational talent.
@Steve Berman fr
At some point you have to wrestle cutting sobbing promos every week for 20 minutes gets stale
@garikkrimlyan2036 he wrestled couple weeks ago
It really makes the quote from his feud with Punk come true, “every MJF moment, is the best MJF moment” I don’t watch full shows but I come back every week to see his segments
Honestly for me, Regal is the best promo guy and makes it feel real more than anyone. I could listen to him for hours, his passion for wrestling is so great to see
I can listen to MJF storytelling all day, same with William Regal.. was giving me chills
I will say. Those 14 minutes felt like 3 minutes.
@jonathansalgado3013 yea it kinda did lol
I can listen to mjf talk all day and Bray Wyatt so good on the mic
Did not he (MJF) said the same thing to CM punk!
"BeCusE oF yUo I aLMOst qUiT " 🤣🤣🤣
Don't you have work to do?
I was legit wondering how Regal would even dare to fire back after MJF's promo. My jaw was on the floor at the end after his piece. Absolute masterclass.
Regal sounds like the older warrior you'd get in your party in an RPG who will set you straight half way into the journey and who can always reliably tank damage with a smile and help you get to "the dance" so to speak. Absolute legend, love Regal💜
Regal is my Grandma Lilly from Fallout New Vegas
@awesomebeast7509 this deserves more thumbs up 👍
Auron FFX :)
yet you dont care what china and the globalists are doing...
That kissed McMahons ass
The pure emotion from MJF, and then the pure schooling from Regal. Absolutely perfect 👌🏻
chef's kiss*
Dude MJF is out of this world. I'm simply speechless
And props to Regal as well. Phenomenal stuff.
Best promo I have seen live. Absolutely amazing.
No doubt. He made people boo Regal and chant his name out of his lungs. How many heels can honestly do that through a promo alone. Damn he's so good man.
Regal had a smile on his face cause he was impressed by MJF’s mic skills
Overrated Hype
Wow... I never thought MJF could top that story he told during the punk feud but... he put tears in my eyes.
It’s still real to me dam it
Me too
MJF tells a story of hardship through rejection and heartbreak, Regal tells a story of hardship through pain and experience. What a promo segment I got goosebumps from Regal talking about trying to earn his way into professional wrestling in a time where you had to fight professional grown men at a young age.
This was MJFs modern day "Hard Times". Insanely relatable in regards to pushing for you dreams even when the man is throwing you aside. But he still did something unique at the same time. Really can't say anything even remotely negative about this.
This is a touchdown, a four point play, a game winning overtime goal, and a grand slam all rolled into one.
Add a slam dunk from the three point line.
its just the same story he was doing with punk. you marks just pop for everything
@TheRealAb216 "Look mom I just called a random guy on the internet a mark, I am very intelligent"
Lmao
@RezRector look Nickolas all I want to know from you is when you are going to get the tag belts back with Braun.
Regal again shows why he's the teacher and these guys have a long ways to go no matter how good they think they are now. Phenomenal segment.
Correct.
Regal in 7 minutes completely left MJF at a loss for words.
Straight epic I’m still in wow mode
Hell he left all of us at a lost for words.
That man will always be a master at this
It was amazing and give regal his flowers
Wasn't expecting that
MJF and Sir William Regal are promo GODS.
When MJF spiked his mic and the crowd cheered... Chills man... chills... even on replay
This segment gave me chills, just the way MJF had the crowd turn their backs on Regal, and then Regal got them back on the palm of his hands. Masterful work from both guys
You not lying because these guys know how to talk
Everything you said. And he did it with less words and intensity. Masters.
Promo masterclass from both.
Great catch
MJF's message couldn't resonate any more. His words couldn't be more true. You felt that. I felt that. There's no doubt, this is one of the best segments in professional wresting in a long time.
Agreed entirely. That emotional aspect, the intensity, it's truly poetic. Some of the best segment work in wrestling in so long.
That sounded like a line straight out of a book. So corny
Did not he (MJF) said the same thing to CM punk!
"BeCusE oF yUo I aLMOst qUiT " 🤣🤣🤣
This was the best MJF promo I’ve ever heard. This is so believable cause it’s based on real life events. Like last week, we are getting more layers of MJF and what made him how he is today. His “bad guy story” is unfolding between our eyes and we are understanding why he is the way he is.
@kibrisgazetesi6586 MJF's dynamic to CM Punk was that of a fan to his hero/idol who he hates due to some narrative where Punk turned his back on him. With Regal, it's that of a youg aspiring wrestler to a well respected senior/legend, seeking for his approval.
This is one of if not among my favorite segments AEW has ever given us. It made me believe in MJF and his rise to stardom. He's so natural in his delivery and his character work is some of the best in all of wrestling right now.
It's about time that MJF's story is being told. When AEW started, MJF was an asshole just to be an asshole. AEW needed heels and faces in 2019...MJF is a Goddamn superstar and he's one of the only ones so far that AEW has produced...and that makes CM Punk jealous.... He wanted to step in to a new company and be the top guy...7 years too late.
@CodeBleu724 Punk elevated MJF, because of Punk, MJF was apart of the most anticipated AEW match ever. Because of Punk, MJF was one half of the best feud in AEW history. MJF needed that Punk feud to become the star he is now, it brought more eyes on him than ever before. MJF has always had the talent but Punk gave him the platform to showcase it. Plus Punk would've dropped the title to MJF
Im 37 havent watcbed since 2003. MJF made me start watching again and I think alot of guys my age have started watching wrestling again because of MJF closest thing to Attitude era we will ever get
I don’t even watch AEW but when MJF delivers the “I’m better than you and you know it” line here, it gives me the chills
0:54 Regal watching this promo like “damn I’m seeing something special right now”
More and more you can see what a huge hire for AEW William Regal is...a classic "hold my beer" moment after MJF delivered an epic promo and Regal responded 👏
This slow "face turn" by MJF is an absolute thing of beauty.
Oh totally, I’m definitely on board with it!
I don’t like to prebook matches but at the end of the day it is a scripted show. Imagine the BCC slowly falls apart leading up to full gear and Regal hands Mjf the brass knuckles for him to get the win. This would be 7 years in the making. The person who drove MJF to get to where he is mentally and physically by pushing him to his full potential and finally MJF becomes the ultimate Villian and the ultimate protege of sir Regal. I feel like tony is gonna do this so I’m sry for the spoiler but that would be the perfect ending. Remember the quote- “ the greatest thing the devil ever pulled was convincing you he did not exist”. False sense of security for Jon Moxley thinking it would be a clean match. This would be perfect cause we don’t want moxley to loose clean to mjf so it’s perfect and realistically makes so much sense.
AEW fans looks so stupid. MJF can make a poop in the middle of ring, they will say "omg, he is so awesome, the futur the Rock"
@Mastersofinsight that is spot on what I was thinking ... even when mjf held off on hitting regal a couple weeks back thats when it clicked in my head that regal and mjf could pull the biggest swerve in aew history
They book and story him right as a babyface he will be unstoppable !
I just love how William Reagal pronounces "Mr. Schiavone".
Velvety smooth.
GOOSEBUMPS! 😭 This segment almost made me cry. MJF makes you FEEL!
And listening to William Regal is such a blessing.
Goosebumps? All I got was a headache.
@skeletor7908 Boreman lames toxic blind detected opinion rejected
@skeletor7908 lmao do u feel cool now ?
Righttttttttt
This is without a doubt one of the best promo's I've ever seen. Every time MJF cuts a promo, you think that it can't get any better than this and then he somehow tops himself. My jaw took up permanent residence on the floor.
A Masterclass on a promo, great storytelling, you can feel it all, tension, animosity, passion, promo of the year, MJF is the best no doubt.
Mjf IS NOT there yet.
@Pauldjreadman who’s the best right now in your opinion then? To me he’s on a whole different level and the margin from him to the next guy is pretty big
@bradycurtis2129 I agree.
Naaah xd
@bradycurtis2129 agreed
This is one of the top five promos in wrestling history between two greats!
MJF is doing something very special with the layers to his character that we haven’t seen in a long time, if not ever. He’s continually peeling back the layers to his heel character & providing us with the details as to WHY he is the way he is, thus creating this relatable baby face anti-hero character. He’s organically becoming a face while STAYING heel. This guy hasn’t had a bad moment since he’s debuted. He’s like the Patrick Mahomes of pro wrestling
He's a tremendous heel. Mahomes is overrated & chokes in many big games vs top teams.
It’s literally the same thing miz did in 2010 and punk in 2010
@flogrownb7429 ok sunshine, when you when a superbowl, let us know
Doesn't sound like a heel to me then. Since when do heels need layers? Just come out and make people hate you. Layers are for baby faces,which it seems like he is about to become.
Exactly hes not some obnoxious guy, he’s a product of his circumstances that feels he has no choice to act like because his back has been pushed against the wall
MJF and William Regal's segment tonight is something that should be shown in promo class at wrestling schools. It was so good. MJF is so good already at the age of 26. He brings old school to new school and mixes both of them so well.
On a personal note, MJF is genuinely one of the few highlights most weeks. MJF is my favourite wrestler for a reason, he made me fall in love with wrestling again, when I needed something to enjoy again!
FACTS.
I agree 100 percent
That’s the best way to go stick to the fundamentals and old school way but add in the new style with it. It is shown in every sport that’s always the best performances.
Let’s also give William Regal credit his promo was fire too
@princealbertz Regal was the perfect dance partner. He danced with the devil and they created magic.
MJF deserves all the spotlight, all the reactions, all the money, all the screen time, and everything he's getting. He's an absolute star
True. But William is also right. He would be even bigger if he would stop using shortcuts.
@RanaNeferti What shortcuts? He is a heel and he is booked to win by cheating.
X1000
This was An Epic Promo
Hi
MJF is literally the reason why I tune into AEW. Like he’s said before, he really does make you feel in the wrestling business.
I don't understand how MJF's promo's get better and better. I was literally glued to the screen for this, he really is a generational talent. Not to mention... William regal absolutely smashed it!!
MJF has been involved in finest Promo work I've seen in the history of AEW- so impressed with his talent, and his ability to work well with others!
I don’t like to prebook matches but at the end of the day it is a scripted show. Imagine the BCC slowly falls apart leading up to full gear and Regal hands Mjf the brass knuckles for him to get the win. This would be 7 years in the making. The person who drove MJF to get to where he is mentally and physically by pushing him to his full potential and finally MJF becomes the ultimate Villian and the ultimate protege of sir Regal. I feel like tony is gonna do this so I’m sry for the spoiler but that would be the perfect ending. Remember the quote- “ the greatest thing the devil ever pulled was convincing you he did not exist”. False sense of security for Jon Moxley thinking it would be a clean match. This would be perfect cause we don’t want moxley to loose clean to mjf so it’s perfect and realistically makes so much sense.
AEW fans looks so stupid. MJF can make a poop in the middle of ring, they will say "omg, he is so awesome, the futur the Rock"
@WhiteMochato That may be the case.
But considering the best "talkers" on AEW's Roster prior to signing MJF were a forty-something Christian Cage and a fifty-something Chris Jericho- anything's an improvement at this point!
Why do you think they have so many "mouthpieces" in AEW?
@WhiteMochato what? I rly dislike a lot of what aew does. Like have random matches every week and not having long term storylines. It’s very rare to get a storyline that is believable and that’s why we love mjf. If mjf was booked like shit, we would also call it out.
@brianknapp6215 Christian cage came onto the roster waaaaay later . Mjf has literally been part of aew since double or nothing . He's an og who's been with aew since day one . They just had to get him away from mlw.
One of the greatest promos of the modern era. MJF is the face of this company. Not only a generational talent but a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
Reports say Tony Khan gave MJF a hug near MJF’s groin
Bs
Saying I wanted to kill myself to make a point is classless. That’s why AEW will always be ghetto asf! Lol his fake ass mad face😂🤦♂️ rousey has a better mean face lol Regal showed him a master’s response.
Every promo he does is one of the greatest of any era
Come down kid
This story can be applied to anywhere like a relationship, not getting the girl, not getting the job, it’s to say never give up in life!
MJF is truly a generational talent.
Had goosebumps listening to this last night. Max's part was legendary and Regal's part was somehow even more so. 10/10 promo. Take a bow, gents.
Regal is the only guy I've seen be better than MJF during a segment
you're only as good as your opponent, and when you've got someone like both of these guys do to work off of, you get great material
It was incredible.
We should never forget how good of a promo Regal is and has been for so many years
Why is he not facing Regal instead of Ambrose I thought this was a program to set up a match between these two this doesn't make any sense
William Regal is a certified G! I didn't like him when I was a kid because of his character lol but I totally respect him so much more now. Such great dynamic range. He definitely held his own. He is a legend. Thank you for paving the way for today's wrestlers. The applause was so well deserved. That segment got me teary eyed.
How can you not like a Real Man’s Man
Yeah I didn't like Regal at first either. It wasn't until he did the whole Alliance commissioner for WCW/ECW during the Invasion storyline, that I started to enjoy watching him. Then soon after that he debuted the brass knuckles, and I liked him even more lol. He is definitely a legend.
I've always been a regal fan. The guy legit looked like he could beat up anyone
Both showed their power. MJF was emotional, passionate and loud. He won the crowd over.
Regal was calm and quiet with a smile on his face. He won them back.
Both showed how you do a promo
This was brilliant. MJF and reagal both delivered flawlessly. MJF deserves to be the face of this company. Hands down nobody does it better on the mic
Apart from Regal whose facials are in a class of their own.
I thought CM Punk had good Mic skills as well
These two absolutely killed it! This will go down as one of the gold standard promos in wrestling history
This isn’t just a promo of the year. This is a promo of a generation. This is pipebomb level. What a watch this was
Really?
@hasbeendrummer no he’s just bullshitting
At the end of the day, he represents and resonates with the crowd more than anyone else. His boldness is what keeps getting him over. MJF is REAL, that’s why we like him. He deserves that belt and the opportunities because he works hard and does it his way. Regardless if he does or doesn’t we’re going to see him. Shout out to you Max for inspiring others to be bold and never giving up on your dreams.
Alot of people truly don't realize how much of a gem Regal is. Dude's done it all and seen it all and is amazing for the wrestling industry.
Anyone else get goosebumps whenever MJF speaks? That dude knows how to tell a story and get every once of emotion out of the fans.
Goosebumps? Not really. I only get the feeling that I have to puke
he's the best at this stuff and second isn't especially close
"And I don't have to do a bunch of bullshit to get you there!!!"
@st3amb0a7 CM punk is better.
@skyfox8303 oh shutup
That’s one of the best promos I’ve ever heard! You could literally cut the tension with a knife.
This is probably my favorite promo of the year so far. What an absolute gold of a promo.
Yeah mjf has been so real lately .. he dosnt have to be in character to capture attention ..
This is some of best things on AEW, in a few weeks.
AEWs best promo. Hands down. Promo of the year if you ask me.
Whole heartedly Agreed
No one asked you Jack ass
Omg yes!! Anything that MJF does with passion is a guaranteed home run
F yes
Agreed
In the end the crowd didn't expect that this promo is going to be the masterpiece they got astonished and started to clap 👏👏
I rarely see a promo battle that ended in applause. The people were completely invested in this.
Credit to MJF, he is incredible on the mic.
Regal delivered his part perfectly, that gave me goosebumps.
These are what makes promos so amazing. Emotionally charged, personal, factual, and walking the line between real and kayfabe. There’s not a lot of promos that do that. This was a rollercoaster of a promo and I felt that intensity.
I've gotten flak for saying this, but MJF is way ahead of others his age. Mid twenties, with decades ahead of him, and he's already at such a high caliber. He's unreal.
He's the best pure promo since the 70s/80s. Yes, including the Attitude Era. Yes, including Rock. Yes, including Punk. Nobody is on his level because you believe absolutely everything that comes out his mouth because of his commitment and mannerisms.
There isn't a superlative good enough for this guy. Even saying "generational talent" undersells how good he is.
This is a great writing piece, with a new villain meeting an old villain and learning something that he never thought of before.
Damn, this whole segment was gold. Every single moment. Theatre actors couldn't have done it better.
It's a blessing to see promos with this much passion on a weekly basis again.
I woke up this morning seeing tweets that I needed to watch this, hearing on wrestling news channels about how epic this was with character work. Little did I realize how underrated these news channels were making this. This wasn't just epic, this was perfection at its finest. The crowd in two masters hands hanging onto each word. Facial expressions, mannerisms, all on point. By the end of this I had tears in my eyes from sheer joy of seeing a promo like this in 2022. This ladies and gentlemen needs to be shown at every wrestling school and shown to those who feel like giving up. What we just witnessed will be recorded as one of the best of all time. My god that was masterful!
to this day the best promo exchange in AEW
MJF + Regal = Phenomenal. One of the best segments I've seen in a long while.
They just work, both very different but very similar at the same time. Who ever put them together needs a pay rise.
I know we’re talking about MJF, who killed it, but William Regal deserves some love here too! Two masters on the mic here!! Amazing job!!
I got chills watching MJF unleashed havoc on the mic. He’s the best in this business.
Regal was better here actually
Regal just showed you how underated he is and better he is
Legendary stuff. MJF is truly the best on the mic in wrestling since probably The Rock or Austin and that’s not even an exaggeration. He’s something else
Standing F***ing Ovation! THAT was the best promo between two workers I've seen in a VERY, VERY long time. William was next level and Max impressed the living HELL out of me. Great storytelling from one of the best in the business and THE most talented young worker in the business today. Well done both of you!
Regal is so damn brilliant he took a crowd that was against him, and spun them back around. Among the two best villains in wrestling today
Regal's counter was unbelievable. And the last segment was just fire.. This storyline maybe better than mjf vs punk
2:23 the look in Regal’s eyes…it must be surreal seeing some kid you saw at a tryout end up standing in front of you as one of the best in ring performers (and top guys) of the new generation. He knows how good MJF is, and he knows how good he can be. Must see a bit of himself in there tbh
Who else felt every word Max was saying when he said what he said to Regal? I could reflect and I'm sure many of you can too. Powerful stuff.
I felt it as much as frieze felt that saiyans kept showing him up so he had to do some cardio 🤣
Did not he (MJF) said the same thing to CM punk!
"BeCusE oF yUo I aLMOst qUiT " 🤣🤣🤣
@kibrisgazetesi6586 i mean in life there will be a lot of reason to quit something but its up to the person to handle it
lmao you're a manchild gamer not a professional athlete, what exactly did he say that resonates with you? Get real.
In his own words: "I make you feel."
MJF is incredible! As a guy that struggled on indies for nearly 20 years and never made it this hit me right in the gut. It was like MJF spoke for all of us that got rejected.
Since he was 6? Lol
@riazuddin4920 no he meant he was the guy in the indies that didn't make it after 20 years, not MJF.
@riazuddin4920 I was on your page then 🤣🤣 we’re idiots 😂
@riazuddin4920 Lol alright. Think we should read that one over pal
@riazuddin4920 I was talking about myself
Proof that focusing on storytelling is what brings peak wrestling, I hope this influences more wrestlers to work on that aspect
GOD this was amazing work. MJF cuts this ON FIRE promo, sets up Regal is the completely irredeemable villain for what he did to MJF. Nothing he could possibly say would excuse the way he shot down that 19 year old.
Then regal takes a freaking MINUTE, explaining what HE went through learning the business at SIXteen, and that if all MJF needed to get the same benefit was one email from Regal than he's had it easy. BOOM. Table is flipped. Absolute legends.
God, just look at Regal's expressions during MJF's part of the promo. You can practically hear him already firing back with every glance as if he were saying "That's right, and I would do it again! Because I was right to do it, wasn't I?"
What a promo segment. I am blown away by both of these guys, and the character work is out of this world. Coherent, logical reasoning for each sides views, which then puts them at odds. And backed up, in this case, with non-violence, just glorious!
Every comment is giving MJF love, let’s give some love to William for that response
This made me smile. MJF poured his heart out in that promo and Regal being the genius he is, matched MJFs energy and made this a promo to remember. Good shit
These two are at different stages of their life, but yet they cut a promo that will be for ever remembered. Probably the best promo of their careers
Add this to the catalogue of insanely good promos from MJF. Damn, he ain't wrong on saying he's a generational talent, because he is! And to think he's 26 right now, and already ticking off all of the boxes needed to be a top star in professional wrestling.
"I don't hit grand slams..... I drop NUKES GAWD DAMIT!!" -MJF
MJF is, by a huge margin, the greatest wrestler of his generation. He has it all. He is a good wrestler, fantastic on the mic, has a good look, tons of charisma and a fascinating character that makes you want to watch every week, just for the chance to see him perform.
It's not even close. like most of my top 10 promos of all-time are MJF. This is a god tier bit of theater, like you feel for MJF, then you realize Regal is older and wiser, and MJF pussies out of getting a free shot because he knows Regal is right. This is Chef's Kiss level stuff, and TBH worth the price of Tony's dad's money on AEW on its own.
This promo gave me goosebumps..what a talent, spoken from the heart.
Mjf sucks
This is exactly what they need.....Emotionally driven story lines that hit home!!!!! AEW is so lucky that Regal is there!!!!!!
I feel like this is a Will Smith and Uncle Phil moment that shifts a program moving forward and gonna be looked back on for a long time.
In the last 2 years MJF has delivered at least 5 of the greatest promos I've ever seen, and oh boy I've seen a lot.
This kind of intense promos with intensity and emotions in it is what makes AEW more "real" than others wrestling shows. You genuinely feel for them, and in some ways also kinda related to them and learn something from watching it. This is why we get into pro wrestling and not another sport, it's the storytelling
"real". Maybe that's why they have a dozen botches each week
@hamzanazeer6412 There's a hater born every minute, stand in line to get your bib and pacifier. AEW isn't perfect, they got issues just like every other promotion, but at least they try to put on good shows and don't try to insult the fans intelligence.
@A2YU09 aew is pure garbage. Averaged a weak pathetic 700k viewers this week and rampage 400k 💀💀💀 it’s pretty sad that raw competes head on with Monday night football and yet they still average more viewers than dynamite and rampage COMBINED 🤡🤡🤡 cry about it mark cry
@hamzanazeer6412 What’s worse is producing a child friends product and having botched when you’ve had a massive head start in your own niche
MJF is truly incredible man, everything he touches turns to gold. He needs to be the face of this company.
No he doesn’t he’s good but he’s not great but at talking he hasn’t proven anything like Will said
@Ludwig van Beethoven he’s the best wrestler in aew
@SmoothLion78 Being good in the ring doesn't only mean doing spot fests bro. There's something called storytelling and that's what makes you a great wrestler. There are rarely wrestlers hailed by everyone who were absolute trash in the mic and storytelling but awesome in the ring alone. But there are tons of wrestlers who further went to become legends in this business who were decent in the ring but top notch when it came to storytelling and absolutely loved pro wrestling. MJF is one of them. That alone makes him great.
He already is the face of the company. He just doesn’t have the belt yet.
He is! Well him and Mox.
Damn this cuts deep. I feel like MJF is gonna be world champ and his face turn will be bananas. He can be anything he wants to be and the fans will love it
“…I didn’t need a ring to knock people out…when I used these (brass knuckles) it was because I just liked hitting people with them” - damn that was good 😂
I jumped out of my chair when Sir Regal pulled out the brass knuckles
