I honestly think that MJF is the best thing about All Elite Wrestling right now. While comparisons are often made to The Miz because of their obviously similar gimmicks, I daresay MJF has a lot more freedom to do his thing in AEW. And this is why he is so very over.
If you watch the clip above, you'll see just how good a bully he can be, genuinely getting the crowd to hate him. A lot of times, Chris Jericho, as good as he is, breaks the fourth wall and makes a joke and gets the crowd on his side for a cheap pop. We all know that wrestling is staged, but for us to buy into a fantasy there need to be good guys and bad guys!
MJF does not want to be cheered and I have to say that his feud with Cody Rhodes is the best thing about All Elite Wrestling.
