[@davidcorneau8503]

I love the psychology aspect of the character, this is a good reprensentation of a narcissist personal disorder... he gets this much hate because these are most toxic person you can have around... it’s called the second hand smoke of emotions... that’s why you hate him more and more weeks go by and it’s frustrating to see them succeed and lie about everything but still everything goes their way.... inside these persons have so much issues with their childhood, they don’t know how to deal with emotions so the rage or avoid!

[@streamofthesky]

This was awesome. I enjoy MJF's straightforward "elitist" type heel on AEW, but would love to see a more subtle angle like this. Where he attempts to present himself as a normal middle class friendly guy, but can't hide his true self from bubbling up from under the surface, that he's really a deranged sociopath.

[@phoenixmodellingphotography]

They had that story going for a while on BTE with him pretending to be a friendly normal guy around Cody as a means to an end, but couldn’t hold back from exposing his true self, an antisocial narcissist, to his fellow wrestlers when Cody wasn’t in the room. I wish AEW had told the story better by fleshing it out on their programming and waiting a little longer before the turn on Cody, because most of their audience don’t watch BTE and the “salt of the earth” gimmick could’ve been milked for so many classic moments and made the turn so much more impactful. A real historic coronation of the most compelling heel in modern wrestling. Still a great moment, just feels like such a waste. I also don’t understand why the MJF vs Cody feud was just suddenly dropped and hasn’t been mentioned or acknowledged at all since like March?

@ Corny Jim has said for years that Kayfabe was important, and MJF is proof of that. I have more respect for MJF than anyone else in wrestling. His CVV interview, his scrum interviews, etc. The value of Kayfabe can't be underestimated.

[@jessekrakow7127]

MJF is like a modern day Roddy Piper, but with the chops of Ric Flair and the charisma of The Rock. The perfect mix of old and new school. The greatest talent to come along in a long time. Him and Jericho together in AEW is downright scary.

[@streetrat48]

The character of MJF is RDJ in Tropic Thunder level. He's a poor guy masking as a rich guy who gets off acting like a humble poor guy to win you over. He's a dude playing a dude that's disguised as another dude.

[@georgebrice3831]

He better at kayfabe than matt hardy and rosemary combined

[@screamrad218]

I even hear Matt go back to his regular speaking voice when does interviews. He doesn’t understand Kayfade. MJF understands it.

[@chrishansen9852]

Music Man Right now he’s all four combined apparently. When he was broken he did interviews and even a full podcast in character

[@Prime1116]

@@screamrad218 Hardy does things in a different way. Matt Hardy looks at his aspect as a performance that is more in line with visual style and a dramatic medium bringing in magic and suspension of disbelief. MJF just LIVES his gimmick and doesn't break because it's a far more realistic person you see out there and you hate. We know MJFs out there in the real world... there are no Broken Matt's rolling around.

[@stacymirba1433]

I really didn't appreciate the way the film maker edited this piece together to make MJF appear maybe slightly, in some small way, just a little rude. I have it on good authority that MJF is an incredibly nice young man. Not just nice, Jerry Lynn nice. Salt of the earth.

saying in-character that he's playing a character is pretty genius

[@Sweeptheleg83]

This guy could be the heir to guys like ric flair, the rock, Tully blanchard and to a lesser degree Jericho and hbk. His promo skill and charisma is off the charts.

[@geniusoutlaws1159]

Hbk broke his back and cried like a bitch. Then we found out he was just addicted to pain killers and sat home getting paid. He didn't want to lose title so he handed it in. He lost his legacy.

[@Sweeptheleg83]

@@geniusoutlaws1159 yes hbk was bit of a prima Donna. But he was at one time maybe the best all around performer in the buisness. As a person he was a scumbag but as a performer he made it look effortless. That said I always preferred Bret to shawn.

[@jamesonbolen9058]

Shawn Michaels was the best ring worker in WWE and was the beginning of the attitude era w DX.. Then turned heel and put over Austin for his first WWE Title. A HOF career!!! But also was prima donna. Then he came back as a new guy who was a Christian man with a high moral code and had a 2nd HOF career. Retired by Austin then retired Flair just to be retired by Undertaker. Legendary career much much much better on a wrestling basis then say Tully or even The Rock. Rocks career & his fame have overlapped way to much for this revisionist history. The Rock was in WWE as a full timer for 8.5 years and nearly 3.5 year as a mid-card act that fans chanted die Rocky die. He lost the final payoff match for IC Title for a much more fan loved (at the time) HHH. When he finally won the title and actually maybe his first three titles for against mankind. Lost to Lesnar in Brocks first big fued and after 2 WM losses to Austin finally beat him at 19 Stone Cold last match just for Hollywood Rock to lose to a debuting Goldberg. Then we got part time Rock who reform Rock N Sock and lost at WM deservedly vs Evolution. Then first Cena match great 2nd was terrible bc it was 50-50 booking and undeservedly beat Punk at RR ala Goldberg Kevin Owens. Funny how those 2 exact situations are viewed differently. Now Rock was amazing and had wins over everyone and Hogan in Toronto was great its just remembered a lil diff than reality would claim.

[@SoldatCrinale]

MJF playing a game of catch with his Father Colt Cabana..is still one of the funniest things i ever seen in wrestling.

[@briandynamite7942]

In a weird way, this documentary, showing mjf having a pic with cm punk as a kid, sparked ones of the best wrestling feuds in a while.

[@TheBeeyatchofHate]

No. No, it didn’t. Don’t be stupid. The booking started that feud. The picture was a tool in the story.

[@eduardoreyes2128]

And now he's about to feud with Punk.

[@whatspadethinks]

This cat is so refreshing... someone who commits to being himself with the volume turned up to 10, NOT some preconceived "character" written by a staff of writers. I'm so excited about AEW and seeing guys who I've heard of, seen a bit, just BLOSSOM in front of us. I mean if a 20+ year pro like Jericho sounds like he's on fire creatively, and a guy like Moxley is sounding like he's getting his big break, after a run in the biggest promotion in history (!), it's unprecedented. I lived through the 80's Golden Era (started watching in '83 at 8yrs old), the Monday Night Wars and this wrestling malaise we've been in since 2006 or earlier, to be able to see another epochal era in wrestling, where we finally have an alternative to WWE, is exciting as hell. I don't want WWE to tank- I want them to be challenged and to compete again in the genre that their in for fucks sake. They love the "everything is competition" schtick but as much as McMahon doesn't want to say it, they are a WRESTLING company! To see WWE get better, to watch AEW grow into a real option B and see promotions like MLW, NWA & ROH stay prosperous... it'll be incredible. The days of WWF, NWA & AWA were a lot better than one company getting lazy & rich in spite of itself. Guys like MJF can finally have options about where they'll go work... it's a great time to be a wrestling fan.

He REALLY LOVES professional wrestling, so much that he wants to keep kayfabe alive and suspend disbelief. This doco is him playing his character, pretending to be nice. An actor playing a character playing a character if you will......I love it.

[@theuniverse7227]

AEW See This: You could run a heel storyline that shows just how much of a psychopath MJF is. Have him start as just a typical heel, doing his typical MJF stuff. As the weeks pass, he becomes more sadistic as his plans for his rival start to unravel. His promos start to become darker as his appearance starts to become less neat. This all reaches the end when he has a great match, and surprisingly wins over the face. This way, he can return back to his original MJF character, but a little more grizzled.

[@bagser1]

What I would do is have him take on a few of the top babyfaces in the company and have him lose more than he wins. Then, after a couple of months of frustration just have him snap and go from douchebag to stone cold psychopath. And that's your next breakout heel megastar.
