AEW Revolution 3/5/2023: Can MJF go 60 minutes? How many gallons will Moxley bleed? Does Starks vs. JAS finally come to an end?

Jungle boy vs Christian match reeks of fukkery

To those who say MJF's reign has been lackluster do you give any slack for AEW being in major disarray from the Elite/Punk fallout?

Like Punk was supposed to be in his reign here. Whether they wanted him to have a 4 month reign or an 8 month reign, his injuries and subsequent fallout with the Elite dudes put a major cog in the machine.

Then you got MJF being removed from the network by Turner themselves. Another wrench that effects not only MJF but also Wardlow who was supposed to use the momentum to run the mid card with guys like Joe, Hobbs, Darby, Orange etc...

Plus you have the Elite flubbing up the 6 Man title picture from night 1 with the brawl. So that throws off House of Black, Death Triangle and how many other challengers by screwing up momentum AND hierchy. Top Flight and Fox could have used more time but after the best of 7, the Elite needed some bodies. Imagine where we COULD be if the Elite kept the belts had a solid feud with Death Triangle then maybe a quick one with a guest trio team from Japan or Mexico for maybe a month, if that. Then House of Black. That way Fox-Flight could get a Trios feud under their belts to be viable contenders after the Elite and House shake out.

All that to say, from the MJF "suspension" and the Elite/Punk fiasco, AEW is still feeling it to this day with how uneven things are in the long term. So much got messed up.

An experienced booker could've adjusted. One of Tony Khan's problems is that he only writes one possible outcome for his storylines. If something unforseen (injury, media scrum brawl, wellness violations, etc.) happens, then the entire story gets derailed. For example, look at how long Wardlow was kept on ice until Tony could resolve things on MJF's end. A more sensible booker could've shifted from the MJF drama a lot more smoothly, and could've probably continued the storyline. To go a step further, when Roman Reigns went to a reduced schedule, it didn't end The Bloodline story. Instead, HHH gave the other Bloodline members things to do while Roman is gone. Because of that, nobody really misses Roman when he's not on tv and the story progresses.
So, to answer your question, the fault isn't on the guys involved in the media scrum brawl, the fault lies on the guy with the pen.

TK has proven time and time again he isn't good at adjusting when plans don't go as planned. Which has basically been the case for AEW for over a year due to injuries or wrestlers going completely stupid like Punk, the Elite, and MJF.

I mean yeah it sucks, a lot of stuff that could have been really good didn't happen because of everything that happened, but man has to be willing to adapt instead of sticking to his plans and putting the people involved on hold until he can pick it back up.

We need that Double J and Lethal title run.

I'm interested to see how Tony Khan books this match. On one hand, Wardlow has been pretty stagnant and needs a reset (the feuds with MJF & Mark Sterling didn't do anything for him).
On the other hand, Samoa Joe just got his belt back & doesn't need to lose it so soon. Ever since Cody dropped the TNT title, it has been the hot potato belt. Somebody needs to have an extended run with that belt.

That MJF feud didn’t do anything for Wardlow because that tantrum MJF threw completely out shined it. That was some foul shyt

And I agree the TNT belt need to be built back up but I wanna see Joe with the world title at least once. Wardlow can be the one who go on a long run with the belt to elevate it and himself into the main event scene. It would do more for him than Joe at this point.

After Brodie squashed Cody, he and the Dark Order could've been packaged as a dominant faction. In hindsight, they could've ruled the midcard, and still been relevant today.

I remember when Dark Order first came around it was looking like they’d be like the NWO. Obviously not on the same level but as in they were there to terrorize the rest of the roster. Then Outta nowhere they got linked up with Hangman which is still one of the most link ups I ever seen. And they been booked like jokes ever since.

He really was. He could wrestle, he could talk, and he had a unique look. I think if Brodie were still alive, he'd be a big star somewhere.

AEW should have let Brodie win the world title from Mox even if it was a temporary reign.

It made sense because Hangman was an alcoholic with low self esteem which was the original purpose of the group. If i remember right, they were recruiting him anyway.

Too much talent on this roster for one guy to cause the product to fall off as it has, So no.
