MJF before AEW - DOUBLE CHAMPION?

Head over to the MLW KZbin page and subscribe, and whilst you're at it sub to The Hawk too! / @mlw
Ring of The Hawk Season 3 has a potential new champion today as current AEW champion challenges Hamada for the ROTH title. I have a good feeling about this run which took place 2018-2020. This was before he was famous. At the time MLW was like a breeding ground for most of the current AEW talent. It seems like they got hit pretty hard by the birth of AEW. Will MJF become the new ring of the hawk champion? Watch on to find out!

MJF would be perfect for Ring of the Hawk as a staple heel and storyteller. He's got everything needed and he's got a bright future. A+ signing

[@fattiger6957]

The thing about MJF in the ring is he has a pretty old school mentality. He has a focus on ring psychology, heel antics and selling, unlike a lot of young guys who are focused on high spots. MJF can do big spots, but they are limited to just a few per match.

[@Markyd123]

Agree

[@xS1D3SW1P3x]

MJF knows how to pace a match like a proper wrestler should, if its all high spots 24/7 they don't mean anything anymore, hes a godsend in modern-day wrestling and we need to clone more of him

[@brentlolacher3000]

@@xS1D3SW1P3x No, no more cloning.

[@brandonyouth5241]

Dude was one of the few flourishing characters that came from CZW. Feels like all those high risk moves he learned came from there and it's a good thing he isn't doing that 100% of his movesets in all of his matches, save it for big matches like the Dog Collar match with Punk in AEW

[@PhilMiCoochie]

Which is amazing because when he gets older he isn't going to be crippled like most wrestlers are.

MJFs confidence does it for me. He means everything he says, he's exciting to watch and listen to and means business every time he's presented. Not to mention he's super young even still in present time and will only excel more in the future. Nothing bad to say about him from my end!

[@thecharmcityplayerbrandona8827]

This is why I like mjf because he has that old school mentality considering the fact he doesn't need to rely on big spots to get over. He relies on his character and his ability to cut a promo to get a reaction which is rare nowadays in wrestling.

[@rearviewracing4789]

I associated MJF's run with the Dynasty-Harts feud. It was very hart, and it overshadowed all the other stuff from the same time. Shame his singles champion's run was cut short and he didn't get a proper one while in there
