Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette believes AEW’s MJF is a better heel than WWE’s Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio has garnered much praise for his heel work on RAW in recent months. He did prison time in kayfabe to become one of the toughest superstars on the roster.
However, wrestling veteran Jim Cornette believes Dominik is still not as good a heel as MJF. On his Drive Thru podcast, Cornette justified his stance by comparing the two stars.
"Even if [MJF] is the big fish in a small pond, he is the world champion of the primary opposition promotion. He is being featured as the top guy in that atmosphere. Even though Dominik has done a world of good with this gimmick he's got, MJF is still (...) if not the best, one of the two or three best verbalists in the business."
Cornette added that Dominik is great but still has a long way to go:
"Dominik is great at the style he has been trained, and he is hanging in there, and he is pulling his weight. We haven't seen that he can put together top main event, world title-style matches (...) with an opponent besides his father, and MJF has with [CM] Punk and with [Bryan] Danielson. And the matches he has had on his own where he was the leader and the veteran with Darby [Allin]."
It’s interesting to note that both stars perform at different levels in their respective promotions.
