8 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming (15 Dec)

3. A Magnificent Bastard

MJF promo
AEW

What kind of d*ckhead chastises his rival for grabbing low-hanging fruit seconds after cutting a promo on a Texan crowd, calling them "pro-incest rednecks"?

A magnificent d*ckhead.

MJF's pre-match promo was on point. Starting with the deliberate hypocrisy documented above, it saw the Pinnacle leader go at CM Punk for his streak of "underwhelming matches against underwhelming opponents" and sense of entitlement for thinking himself worthy of a World Title shot. Calling Punk the new Ryback (stinging, given "I'm dumb as f*ck"), MJF promised to beat Punk like he was going to beat Dante Martin, who came into the crosshairs for the last few lines.

Your typically strong, engaging stuff from MJF here, riling up the audience while popping shots at his opponents. He's great at this - but you knew that already.
