AEW has many good in-ring wrestlers, a lot of whom belong to the top 1% of pro wrestlers on the planet. However, wrestling is a lot more than just having an in-ring product. Sure, the core fanbase will always care about match quality, but if they want to expand their horizons, then they need to emphasize “character-driven” wrestlers such as MJF.

MJF is a special talent and AEW needs to ensure that they push character-driven wrestlers more than just fantastic in-ring workers.
