While Jimmy Korderas sees a lot of potential in MJF as a babyface, he doesn’t want All Elite Wrestling to rush things along.
During the latest edition of his Reffin’ Rant series, the former WWE referee commented on the recent teases from the AEW wrestler that he’ll be turning babyface in the near future.
He said, “When is it the right time to turn someone from heel to babyface or from babyface to heel? It’s not an exact science, but there is a way to do it… Wednesday night on Dynamite, we saw it. It appears MJF seems to be heading towards the babyface route. And people are conflicted about this. ‘Oh, he shouldn’t be a babyface, he’s a great heel.’ Yes, he is a great heel, but you know what? So was “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, so was The Rock. So was Roddy Piper. So all these guys throughout the years, the Rock — man you can go on [and] list.”
MJF right now is a guy who could be a babyface, could be a heel, and get the desired reaction. But don’t rush it if you’re gonna turn him babyface. Maybe we do get the swerve at the PPV against Jon Moxley or whatever the case may be. But at the same time somewhere down the road MJF is going to be a huge babyface, and the star of AEW.”
In today’s #ReffinRant big debate on whether MJF should stay heel or turn face? ?
