>>18054507 (OP)He was good in Mexico. But he was exposed a when he became a lonely World Champ with no stable. Take The Pinnacle version of MJF and put him as champ in 2022, with heel FTR, Spears, Wardlow, Tully, defending him and it would've been crazy. Instead, they had solo MJF as a heel champ, because Regal screwed them over and left after helping him get the belt.
This led to face MJF, which killed ALL his mystique. When he was dancing and other crap midmatch with the Skeleton Cole, it killed all of it, for a long, long time. He's only recently seemed to got good again, but it;s not at the same height at all. He needs a crew and they don't have anyone good enough to be his believable lackeys anymore.
Plus what this guy said.
>>18057588MJF simply wasn't ready. I know what I said about Pinnacle MJF, but that's him protected by having a crew around him. Him on his own carrying the company was way too early for him to do. Even guys like Flair almost always made sure they had someone in their corner as the heel champ.
