He was always a natural bf because of his rise to being a draw against Daniels.
Which has always carried over to every promotion regardless of the circumstance. He is one of the last natural babyfaces.
He can be heel in Japan but that is circumstance,...
In America I believe everyone knows he was the best and having to wait to see him always made him a natural bf, regardless of the booking. He is wrasslin's last sentimental story and the goat.

AJ is proof the Face/Heel dynamic is fukked from now on, the Attitude era blurred those lines. So trying to do cut-and-paste Face/Heel won't work. But shyt you need to sell your little kid merchandise. :francis:


Actually Pentagon Jr.

Cats love him... this dude out here breaking the arms of women, a faces, and even attempting to kill Legends like Rey and crowds still cheer him heavily

Giving him the strap then having his first title reign be one month and booked like a clown doesn't help him either


The problem with dean and company in the shield is dean actually should have been the one to align with the corporation instead of Rollins acting like the hhh avatar.
As dean had the mic skills to act out the clique stuff as a heel on his own.
Plus get over using the sentimental cool heel turns bf clique playbook.
Asking Rollins to be heel and he is actually a natural bf was stoopid as fukk and shows this company does not recog ize talent or a grappler's pedigree to use to their advantage.

Not to mention the shield should have swerved the corporation and heyman to close out on the hounds of justice program anyway.
Dean, Rollins and reigns will never fully work because the content never provided a real payoff or plausible ending in content.
So, the characters of the shield will never have convincability and it is to far gone to fix it as well.
The WWE made and shyt their bed by botching the shield because the corporation does not realize it will never be a draw because it shows no vulnerability. Scsa worked because you got a payoff j. Comedic bug bunny fashion several times a week with the stunner to McMahon.
When hhh started his horrific clique rules smash mouth booking based on the flair meets hogun braintrust from hall/flair wwf run and hogun/wcw. It was doomed to fail as all those templates never really drew on a mainstream level without a boost from an outside property. Or never took over the draw from a product that was boosted by an outside property.

That's a major problem with the WWE, the heel/face dynamic is all screwed up.

AJ is an underdog that had to scratch and claw to get where he is today. Regardless of how he's booked people want to show love to a person like that, and its the same thing with KO. That's an issue that comes with kayfabe being nonexistent and everybody with an Internet connection being privy to what happens behind the curtain. Back in the day you didn't know anything about a wrestler's background or personal life, outside of the character they displayed on TV. Now everybody realizes it's a performance and they're cheering for the person instead of the "character" being portrayed.


Prolific posting,....

Aj is the guy on the other channel who was always better and if you cared enough to look into it via the internet.
The reaction to your inquiry built sentimentalism for aj.
Especially if you make the connection to workrate and mania III with steamboat savage incomparison to andre/hogun.

So, with aj he is that great of a performer that if intrigued I know you will look on the internet for him and get hooked as it happened to me fifteen years ago and YouTube benefitted as well.
As aj was the original reason I ever used YouTube back when it looked like a tv as its cosmetic design.
Danielson, aj, Daniels imo were the first few reasons to ever visit YouTube in the beginning every week.

still won't forget that aj flair moment :beli:


Actually if WWE knew how to do content,...
They could redo aj flair against cena for the world title but aj would have to win, to create convincability.

It would not work if wwf basically redid wcw hogun beats NWA flair in wce.
Cena would need to get his flair moment like flair did against someone no one likes like flair rolling up Jarrett for the title win.
That wce later fukked up and should have had flair Lose the belt to rey when he had to wear the lwo dress and then had eddy go over but they were inept, too. Although someone was smart enough to realize flair should beat Jarrett for the belt.
Yet I don't think they knew the history behind that decision at all either, tho.

In hindsight dean should've went heel when they split but he would've been cheered if he did

Wwe is stoopid as fukk because originally they pegged dean as the it guy and forgot he had a us title for damn near the longest of any WWE us title holder. Not to mention, just the ineptitude of the WWE to realize why the us title is/was important as far as linkage to the world title as the automatic number one contender, from NWA to begin with.
Which should have been used as a simple content angle from the announce team and instituted with dean as long as he reigned as us champ.
Yet, they wanna yell in announcers ears but don't even know their own fukk'n product to produce well enough from a control room.
Which was a simple the hounds are holding the us title and a way to the world title for hostage. Dean was pegged as the razor slash Scott hall in the nwo type and it would have worked to swerve the shield with dean.
As dean in the nwo Scott hall role was more reliable town to town state to state country to country card to card incomparison to I got emotional issues from whack'n a dude who precipitated me to kill him anyway,......which is another story.
As they could have used the clique template of making dean nwo hall and now dean was awake and went to the next level razor and nwo hall never did,
All because of alcohol and personal issues.
which dean does not have or use to hamper his career like hall.
Plus, dean would have easily fit all the check points.
to what the clique likes and was the better choice because he was a mic dominant worker who could get over any feud with content amidst a match.
Whereas you easily could have had Rollins and reigns play the bf because that is naturally what they are and Rollins really is only at his best in a chase. Hhh just saw Rollins hit the gym and fell in love with the crossfit Jesus shyt like McMahon did with anyone with a physique. Then since hhh had no fukk'n familiarity with any indie talent evidenced by them crapping on Austin Aries.
Who had to go to tna and also unseat tna's better hhh in roode as well.
who had to carry Rollins in roh in a world title program as a heel.
When, if hhh watched roh tv on DirecTV.
He could have easily seen Rollins was a natural dead locked baby face, period.
who would need a dominant mic extensive heel character with workrate to carry him. As roh suffered in the WWE and then tna raid of roh after roh tv on DirecTV. When roh had to use Rollins and roddy as transitional me championship talent.

With reigns you easily could have had him chase dean and dean heinously massacre reigns till he came up as a worker on the mic.
Which could and should have happened organically because reigns was green.
Including still is green.
Plus WWE was dumb to run with reigns as early as they did. Simply because if the WWE used their fukk'n own intellectual property in the library. You could easily tell reigns was in the awa big Scott hall realm and would need more seasoning and why the awa never crowned hall as big Scott hall champion.
So, this company is inept because they say clique rules but don't even use the template to their own clique rules playbook.
to make themselves a success by amalgamating it.

That is why this company is fukk'n stoopid.
They don't even use their own so called clique stuff intelligently moving forward to their own advantage and it is a consistent example how inept they are.
Including the fact the WWE has never known how to book a heel champion ever in any incarnation of the wwf to WWE.

Evidenced from superstar to the original rock, to the current day.
They are a bf only based promotion and why it was always deemed phoney/hokey and only a gateway to wrasslin originally.
If not for rocky, thunderlips and Mr t and eye of the tiger from ringsports based properties and an Oscar movie..wwf would never have existed moving forward under vkm anyway.
He was just lucky enough that Tyson was around to re-invigorate the wwf with the protege to flair in scsa.
Which only happened by accident and on a whim just like hogun.
Whom was fired for going on set to an Oscar winning best picture from a newcomer based filmmaker in Stallone. That even the Oscars said fukk their usual let's wait to give out an Oscar and even immediately changed their tune to give a best pic oscar to sly.
So that is why the WWE is inept as they don't use their own braintrust and direction as a company.
Nor, do they do what makes mainstream corporation draw and just heinously copy the good stuff from other larger drawing entities as well.

This company would be nowhere if not for the preposterously brilliant idea of thunderlips.

AJ is killing it as a heel. I don't want him to be a face anytime soon. He is a having a fukking career renaissance right now. Just let him be the heel equivalent of Reigns; gets cheered but pushed as a heel. fukk it. These characters work for Cena/Reigns/Styles.

Yeah, it's amazing how in less than a year, his promo work went from this:



To this:



I don't want him turning back until after WrestleMania.
