Duration: 25 min
AEW Dynasty main event
Kenny Omega is now your number one contender for MJF's AEW World Championship.
MJF's promo performance
When your thing is your one thing that makes you the champ and the reason for people to tune in is your talking and you don't deliver, that is the difference in someone being good and absolutely great and a real locker room leader.
MJF's character work
We need Max to be better than a C-plus version of The Miz. We need him to draw us in with his special abilities. Don't half-ass it. Don't take the low-hanging fruit. Do something big.
MJF vs. Kenny Omega build
MJF is going to have to carry the story. He's going to have to carry this on his shoulders because Kenny Omega is not going to be able to do it. On the stick, on the microphone, he's not going to grab you.
Kenny Omega's health and career trajectory
I'm almost at 100 percent, but I'm not, and it's been a while since I've been 100 percent. Maybe I'm never going to be 100 percent. Maybe this is the decline of me in the ring. This could be my last chance.
MJF's legacy
This is a huge chance, a moment for MJF to go from a good wrestler who has a good promo to actually being good as a ring general champion leader, locker room leader.
Kenny Omega's promo
I wanted to mute my TV because it was so cringe and awkward. You want that, I wanted to mute my TV, but you know it. And the thing is, we don't have this like, oh Kenny walking to the ring. This is going to be something that we're going to be playing back for years now, whatever he says here.
MJF vs. Kenny Omega storytelling
If you add just 10 percent of that into their story, it'll be so real. You get a chance for him and Max to make magic while he can still be in that area of his career to where it's not like, 'Okay, Max kind of had to carry him.'
Proposed promo direction for Kenny Omega
I never thought that I would look at you as the guy, the AEW World Champion. I gotta say now you're the best wrestler in the world because you have that AEW World Championship around your waist.
Backstage booking philosophy
I've been in situations many times last 10-20 years to where it's you're begging myself and Kofi for an Intercontinental title or us that we're begging to not go right to matches that lead to matches down the line.
