AEW World Champion MJF’s ongoing Better Than You Bay Bay angle with Adam Cole has been widely considered among the best in all of professional wrestling right now.
Naturally, AEW’s top storyline has had some people comparing it to WWE’s top storyline, the ongoing Bloodline saga on SmackDown.
In an interview with WrestlePurists, MJF discussed the comparisons between the two angles, noting that he doesn’t think they are similar at all, before discussing why he believes the two are compared.
He said:
“Oh, man, I don’t think it’s similar at all. I’ll tell you what it is. Again, this goes back to an issue that was inside of my sport. It was a while until we had something that made us feel something, and The Bloodline made us feel something. Before The Bloodline, it was just like, ‘I’m tuning into WWE. There’s s**t going on, I guess,’ it was just very scattered. It was just scattered. That’s the only way to describe it.
“Then, Bloodline came along, and it made you feel, and now here’s MJF and Adam Cole, and, ‘Oh, my God. I’m feeling something right now. I intensely care about this. That reminds me of the feeling I have when I watch The Bloodline. Maybe it’s the same thing.’ Which is insane, right? Like, if I watch a Saw movie, and I love it, and then the next day I sit down, and I watch f**king Goodwill Hunting, those movies both get me excited. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t mean that they’re doing the same thing.”
MJF is set to defend he and Cole’s ROH World Tag Team Championship in a Handicap match against The Righteous at AEW WrestleDream tomorrow night.
