In a post via Twitter/X, Ibou of WrestlePurists.com wrote the following about former AEW world champion MJF…

“This is neither a positive or negative statement, but I think MJF’s AEW run is beginning to reach a natural conclusion and neither side has really realized it yet. It feels like they’ve outgrown each other to me.

Max is still an excellent talent in the prime of his life, but I struggle to come up with many things on the horizon for him to do that would be productive or big. He clearly is more focused on getting this acting thing rolling (and good for him) but I dunno what midcard Max in AEW achieves. Ric Flair WWF 1993 type beat except Max isn’t declining, it just feels like the company is naturally trending in a direction away from him and what he does best. Am I off base?”

Dustin Rhodes issued the following response to Ibou…

“You’re a crazy man. Max is a huge star, and its only the beginning for him. Not everything happens in one night. Remember to be patient. Nobody’s run is done in a day. Unless you suck. Max is incredible.”
