Lot of the hate for NY stems some from their past dominance in sports. Hockey, baseball, (sometimes football.. we don't talk about 90s football for New york for a reason. *CHOKE* ) Only place a heel cam be cheered is in their hometown, even one as sleazy as MJF. Top tier shit tho.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Bret Hart 1997. This is the opposite of that. Bret was a heel in the US and a face everywhere else. MJF is a face on Long Island and a heel everywhere else. He’s a student of the game. I respect that.

[@Siacourage]

Even when you're as "hated" as MJF it's always good to know there's a place you can go where you're accepted.

[@clxx1302]

Everywhere he goes, he always gets reaction that's why he's gonna be one of the greats of pro wrestling! I remember back in the day when Miz was just like this, MJF is kinda similar to him in a way. Miz - Cleveland/MJF - Long Island NY

Long Island is the Canada of AEW. Complete Bizzaroland. It’s weird seeing MJF with a genuine smile, and not one fuelled by some brand of evil lmao

[@Lemonadder]

As much as we love to hate MJF as a character, you can't help but notice the genuine emotion and joy he had when people were chanting his name and cheering for him, as opposed to booing him as is the norm.

[@jaredblack2674]

You can tell he was absolutely loving every moment of this

[@MattDoesLife539]

This shows he can just be a great baby face and a heel, truly talented wrestler.

[@leonardodavinci9915]

MJF is "The Rock" of AEW , Dynamic and full of energy.

[@aakarshamaharjan2015]

MJF is the blood of professional wrestling.

[@joemcginnis3487]

Yes indeed

[@Sarabheswaran7010]

We are the blood and muscle of pro wrestling. Wrestlers are the skeletal system.

[@rockybalboa1158]

He is the salt of the earth

[@reznov89]

This guy is the current face of professional wrestling!!

[@chanoqueque3367]

The interactions with the fans at the end was epic.

[@Moose6340]

He might've been doing that entrance to mock CM Punk's return in Chicago, but that smile looked awful genuine to me. He's an awesome heel. The most punchable face in pro wrestling!

Imagine a Royal Rumble in Long Island and at #30 this theme hits.

*"The difference between a hero and a villain is perspective."* Someone dropped a small hint in preparation for Feb. 23.

[@BitterTruth-me1nl]

*Man, AEW knows how to get the exact reaction they want from fans. AEW can really control fans in their palms, the way they want.*

[@markslur]

MJF Casually Mock CM PUNK 's comeback entrance is cracking me up!!

[@i_am_angle5287]

This is gonna be a night he'll never forget to my knowledge this is the first time in MJF's wrestling career he ever got genuine cheered

[@RoadWarriorRoderick]

This entire segment from beginning to end was complete perfection MJF is incredible and will no doubt one day be the absolute greatest

[@Bbender690]

That was nice of Tony to let MJF use his car
