Canine Collar Match: MJF v. CM Punk
Fels: First off, I like the truth that I’ve a job that permits me to jot down “canine collar match” as a part of it. Anyway…
This has been nearly as brilliantly informed of a narrative as wrestling has ever seen. From the primary match construct, to that precise match, to CM Punk having to dig deep inside him, to MJF’s opening a vein on nationwide TV after which utilizing that to assault Punk, conveying that there’s a gap inside him that may by no means be stuffed that he’ll by no means take accountability for. It’s among the finest issues on tv, not simply wrestling.
What occurs right here, in my thoughts, form of will depend on the place it’s positioned on the cardboard in relation to the ladder match. This screams for a Wardlow flip, however that might solely occur if it’s positioned after the ladder match. And I believe that is the place we’re going, which supplies Punk the win and maybe units up a 3rd, winner-take-all match down the highway. It’s going to be violent as shit and have shenanigans aplenty and everybody will probably be glued to the display screen.
Blum: I don’t care the place it led. I can’t get MJF’s promo from final week’s Dynamite out of my head. It’s a deep lower for the horrible heel to make good sense and paint the overwhelming face right into a nook. Simply implausible storytelling with two of the most effective on the artwork kind within the twenty first century. Now that AEW’s ties with Ring of Honor are official, a throwback to Punk vs. Raven at ROH Demise Earlier than Dishonor in 2003 can be nice. It was brutal and progressive. I count on extra of the identical. I can’t see how Punk doesn’t win right here, as there’s no level in persevering with the story if MJF will get one other victory in opposition to Punk. Until the play is to have MJF problem for the AEW World Title at Double or Nothing, and having the primary Jewish AEW World Champion topped Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas, buying and selling literal and bodily jabs with Punk for longer will do each guys nicely.
