This is a hilarious work

>They're just trying to get more people to tune into the PPV and to get more heat on Max for when he gets powerbombed
>MJF has 2 years left on his deal
>I doubt Coker is dumb enough to get baited into releasing him
>All of this screams work

this is how you work Smarks in the modern era

Pretty much
I find it funny that people are falling for this shit hook, line and sinker without even a remote shred of actual proof that this is anything other than MJF doing his overly committed heel schtick.

>This is another shitty MJF thread

this is why I don't take it seriously
Why is there drama regarding the contract when 2 years are left? It's not like 2 days or 2 weeks.

I'd say that there is no way they'd work fans by lying to them about him no showing an event but then again, Khan and MJF probably know the fanbase is made out of braindead cultist smarks and figured they would be honored to lose money and be taken advantage of just so MJF could work a worked shoot angle

nah hes going to wwe to be with his brother cody rhodes

Cope

They would get a lot of backlash. There were people there from overseas who came to see him. The company intentionally telling a talent to no show for an angle would turn AEW and Khan heel. He would be no better than Vince.

Yeah, you'd have people go fucking ballistic. Imagine spending money to fly across country to meet someone and then they no-show. And then later you find out it was because of a storyline and not an actual problem with the talent. That's how you lose fans. MJF either has real problems or him and Tony are the biggest fucking morons in the business today.

They can do something to make it up to fans later. If this was actually a work and they pulled it off well then it would do a lot more business for them if they can follow it up and do strong stuff afterwards. If they keep doing the same shit now then nothing will ever change. They won't suddenly get more popular just by time passing.

Well he is the top heel and was a nobody 3 years ago. he wants more money but shouldn't get it. no way Vince will push him or he can do his gimmick this way in wwe.

The top heel shouldn't get more money? Not going to touch the WWE stuff, but wtf are you thinking? Why should Adam Cole get several times what he makes when Adam Cole was an NXT guy and he helped them beat NXT and he's slightly lower on the card and MJF will be champ first?

Tony Khan hates criticism and being thought of negatively. No way he would risk fan backlash against himself by telling MJF to no show.

they didn't gain a single buy from this stunt
all the good little cultists we're going to buy the show anyway and anyone with casual interest or malicious intent will just check social media or watch a stream
he pissed on people who spent their hard earned money and traveled on a holiday weekend to support their show for some heckin yummy heel heat? that's some dixie tna level shit and the blowback he'll receive will be well-deserved

agreed

probably meant to add "without adding more time." AEW is said to want to give him more money commiserate with his value, but they want to lock him down for another 3-5 years. MJF allegedly wants the increase in pay while maintaining the two years left on his deal. which is... nobody is dumb enough to do that.

>nobody is dumb enough to do that
TK is definitely dumb enough to shell out as much cash as possible to satisfy the internet smarks and turn this into a work

The money mark meme died when let Cody fuck off
Move on retard

Correct

This. The moment it’s revealed to be a work, the heat goes off MJF and onto Tony, and he sure as shit doesn’t want that. You had to pay 100 bucks for each individual meet and greet, a lot of people got fucked and that’s really not Tony’s MO. I don’t love AEW but credit where credit is due, he seems to be committed to keeping his fans happy.

Good morning xir!

If it's a work then he shouldn't show up tonight. "Summer of MJF" angle with MJF vs CM Punk at All Out.

>let cody walk
>never get a million viewers again
kek what a retarded money mark midget with cultist tranny fans who white knight him for free

>he seems to be committed to keeping his fans happy.
Any guess on the dollar value of that commitment?

Still don't understand the appeal of this no-dimes shitter.

Why do people like this guy so much? He comes to the ring, insults the city, their sports team and local cuisine then wrestles. He doesn't have the mannerisms that a good hell does. Even Logan Paul was a better heel for one match and he said nothing.

worked

>then wrestles
lol

except they did get a million several times after they announced Cody was gone
