>>5880332This is very true. Punk's pipebomb worked because he had a clear enemy that was arguably worse than him. That's why him turning face was organinc. He could be despicable but Vince is worse.
In MJF's case, you can't say Tony is worse because Tony doesn't really have a reputation. You can accuse him of being a bad booker but that doesn't make him a bad guy. Even inside the shoot backstage problems, it's hard to side with MJF because he's doing this just for money. He has no ammunition to fire back to Tony other than saying he's the best. And let's not get to the problem of him feuding with a guy that isn't a wrestler. Anyone could feud with Vince because Vince was willing to get in the ring and you could believe he was able to hang with the wrestlers because of his physique. No one believes Tony would last ten seconds against MJF in the ring. You can't feud with him.
