10 Awesome Heel Vs. Heel Wrestling Matches

10. Chris Jericho Vs. MJF (AEW Full Gear 2020)

Chris Jericho and MJF are two peas in a pod, kindred spirits from the same ideological family tree. When MJF finally ascends to his inevitable spot on top of the professional wrestling world, Chris Jericho will be one of the names that are inevitably brought up when discussing influences. Yes, real-life Jericho might be veering a little too close to kayfabe-MJF for some fan's tastes, but that is another thing entirely.

MJF and Chris Jericho's recent match at AEW Full Gear had its own ramifications, but the two went at it fully aware that there was a lot more on the line than a simple spot in an established faction. Jericho's bluster and pomp have always been a cover for his insecurities, and what could possibly make him more insecure than coming up against a better-looking, better-talking, more relevant version of himself?

For MJF, this was a chance to prove to Jericho and the wider world that he is more than a fantastic promo. Maxwell Jacob Friedman is a bad man, don't doubt that, but that nastiness comes riddled with his own insecurities. By outsmarting Jericho and picking up the win, MJF moved one step closer to the throne, externally and internally.

The match itself was far more than the action between the ropes. It was the notes you don't hear, and all that jazz.
