One way or another, MJF is going to use that promo to beat Punk. I can't see them turning MJF face. I'm not sure if this affects Wardlow - gotta figure at some point he finally turns against MJF, but I'm guessing this probably slows down that process. I can't get enough of these promos between Punk and MJF. They have the crowds in the palms of their hands. MJF is like a cross between Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler - with the best characteristics of both.

MJF is great on the mic and plays a great heel. But I always did kind of think he doesn't have that two-way ability to equally play a good face. IMO it's harder to get over as a face than a heel.

But if I was booking this after last night, i would seriously consider trying the double turn. MJF is about to beat punk in the match straight up, then Wardlow shows up, helps Punk get the win. Story goes on but now the roles are reversed ala Austin/Hitman Wrestlemania 13.

I doubt that's how it's gonna go down but that's how I would book it !

So Hardy is All Elite eh? Think Cesaro's next?

And man, apparently Cody lost his booking role hence the departure. That sucks

As good as that promo is. The turn is just weird . You do go that hard just to pull the rug out and turning mjf is odd. So I'm lost.

Yea and eventually they'll have the same problem that WWE always has. TOO much talent and you can't push everybody. Guys will get lost in the shuffle. Hell, look at Brian Cage.

As far as Cesaro goes though, I can see him joining CYN

Wow. Tony Kahn now owns ROH. Hope he keeps it running separately and not bury it like Vince did with WCW.

The old competitive Vince would have bought it just to own the tape of All-In, which was unofficially the 1st AEW event.

Cody Rhodes to ROH?

Now that would be the biggest swerve of all time

MJF is so good man. That little ‘got you’ smirk he had while hugging Punk then quickly hiding his face from the camera. Little things.

That dog collar match is gonna be brutal.

ROH invasion angle led by Samoa Joe? Please?

I mean.... They really can't impact did it with honor no more. Like half of their card has been ROH champs and it just doesn't make sense. I'm more concerned about what impact is gonna do with honor no more and Dianna having the roh tittle or bandito and grisham having their belts ? Trey is already there but the former tag champs are in impact with honor no more and he'll that's where Gresham has been. So what do you do? rokc is with WWE now. I bet he just tosses the young guns down there and calls it hi NXT.

And that's fine by me if that means ROH is still running. If Tony was always a big fan like he says he was, then hopefully he has a passion to keep ROH looking like ROH. Hopefully this deal includes still having TV on Stadium network

I get now why Tony Khan isn't on TV that much. He comes off like a mix of Beaker and a wrestling fan who lives in his moms basement.
