    I am glad Tom was wrong (at least about the timing) regarding the MJF & Cole tag-team dissolution. I do believe it will happen at Wembley when they fail to win the RoH tag-titles, but I hope I'm wrong, they DO win those belts, and go into the main-event still as a cohesive unit.

    • @Avenrise
      @Avenrise Год назад +5

      In terms of storyline, what if they WIN the tag belts then the main event has them falling out? There's another months worth of storyline there where they have to pretend to like each other before maybe the world title rematch where it all comes to a head. So much fun!

    Jay White being ranked so low basically invalidates your entire list. That's cocky of me to say to a wrestling specialist channel but seriously, that rank is absolutely ridiculous.

    • @amadhatter3280
      @amadhatter3280 Год назад +3

      I think its because Jay White hasn't been in AEW long enough to be placed higher, they put Taya Valkyrie in alright because she's only just joined as well. This time next year Jay White will rise in these ranking, just give it a little bit of time.

    Smarks have completely bastardized the notion of a heel. You're not a good heel if you get cheered. This was a good list.

    • @wh5601
      @wh5601 Год назад +9

      I do agree with this argument but I feel like it’s sometimes taken to extremes by the contrarian ‘anti-smark’ types (not saying that’s you btw). Getting booed isn’t the most important thing for a heel. The most important thing for a heel is to make fans want to see the babyfaces beat you. There are some people who get booed because people don’t want to see them at all and that’s not being a good heel either

    • @Kalel2.0
      @Kalel2.0 Год назад

      I agree man but theirs a difference between loving to hate them to a point where you wanna see their ass handed to them and will pay good money to see that and a heel that makes you wanna turn off your screen or not care about what they do

    • @BigmanDogs
      @BigmanDogs Год назад +3

      ​@@wh5601Yeah I'm not saying getting booed is the most important thing. But you can't be a good heel if you don't get booed. So it's more or a binary thing rather than getting as booed as possible. A babyface getting booed against a cool heel can do a lot or damage to their optics.

    • @BigmanDogs
      @BigmanDogs Год назад

      ​@@Kalel2.0Yeah, that's why I would say the best heels are the ones who walk the line between kayfabe heel heat and genuine/go away heel heat. For example, Jeff Jarret and his crew, they are genuinely annoying, but they also actually do well in the ratings. A wrestler who only has kayfabe heel heat can be difficult to use since they can only face babyfaces more over than them. Otherwise, you run the risk of the greener babyface getting booed. For examplen, when babyface yuta went against MJF.

    • @wh5601
      @wh5601 Год назад +3

      @@BigmanDogs Yep, I’d agree with that for sure. It’s an issue that happens more in AEW too from my experience. The promotion typically having a lot more hardcore fans certainly has its benefits but also it’s negatives as simply being talented as a wrestler is a babyface trait to an extent there so heels have to work extra hard to get booed. Take MJF for example. Until the recent babyface turn, you could feel how increasingly hard he was having to work to get booed because the fans just respected his talent too much

    If CM Punk was included on this tier list, he'd be at the bottom of the best at least. To me, he's just so easy to boo and then when he goes off script (see this past week's Collision were he shot at Hangman for no reason) makes me want to boo him even more.
    Jarrett, Callis and Cage are the best heels going at the moment, but MJF is the goat of AEWs heels

    What they should do with Ricky Starks:
    1) turn him face via getting totally wrecked by group of heels (bullet club gold?)
    2) ricky recruits partners Caster and Bowens for six man match, which they win... due to Jeff Jarrett?
    3) Jarrett decided that he's been there and done that as far as personal glory, but the Last Outlaw has a lot left to do- after all, he's a Jarrett. He thinks Ricky and the acclaimed are the future, and all they need is guidance... Oh, and their crew would be named the "Stroke Daddies".
    4) Billy Gunn eventually returns, of course, and now he and double J are kinda frenemies but also kinda 'their two dads'. Bonus points if Jesse James gets to make a cameo appearance or two in there- JJ calling him "Roadie" and the Acclaimed calling the three of them the Old Age Outlaws would be GOLD.
    5) When Jarrett eventually turns heel on them, he should do so when Ricky is World champ... and he should do so by screwing him over for his new project, a suddenly heel Hangman Page(!) Boom, heel Hangman vs face Starks feud.
