On a recent edition of the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast, Bully Ray explained why it would be beneficial for MJF to eventually lose to Daniel Garcia and how it could demonstrate MJF’s effectiveness as a top heel in AEW.
MJF emerged victorious against Daniel Garcia at AEW All Out 2024, but Garcia had the final laugh, delivering a piledriver off the top rope as payback.
Ray said, “They’re priming Garcia for something. What? I don’t know. All a great heel needs to do is get their heat back, and they can lose every single night,” declared Ray. “A great heel can lay down in the middle of that ring, get pinned every single night, but as long as they’re allowed to get their heat back the next night, they’ll never lose an ounce of steam. That’s the most important part.”
In a recent interview with Q101, Orange Cassidy discussed how he has managed to distinguish himself and not become just another wrestler on the extensive AEW roster.
Cassidy said, “There are a lot of people who wrestle for AEW. The roster is huge, and I was, for a lot of my career, I was just listening to what other people told me what worked for them, which necessarily — I’m not saying that was bad advice — it just worked for them. So I did what worked for me, and that was to do the exact opposite and try to be different and stand out because that’s what separates somebody from just being another wrestler. No one forces me to do anything I don’t want to do, and they are also open to what I want to do. I’m very fortunate that AEW exists because I wouldn’t be sitting here if it didn’t. They let me be something unique and something new and embraced it.”
