How Adam Would Book... The Year Of MJF 

Genuinely got chills when Adam dropped the "Wrestling has more than one royal family" line. We need to manifest this great booking into reality. One of Adams best bookings ever

The stipulation with Cody Rhodes could be that should he win, not him winning the title, simply MJF vacating it. Which would lead to Adam's favorite thing: a tournament.

Adam, your booking videos are the only ones on the internet that can actually make me feel like I’m watching the stories play out. When you brought Punk back into the company I literally got goosebumps.

As much as I think it's cool to have Cody beat MJF, I don't think you need to go down that route. Aew already has one person who can match mjf and the way of Mic skills and in ring ability. That man is Ricky Starks. He is the overlooked Golden child of this company. If anyone can beat mjf and become a major Star it's Ricky. He may just be a mic card right now, but, if you give him one solid year of booking, I bet you he could do it.

The ending of the MJF story is the actual Forbidden Door being opened and is legitimately something I've always believed could potentially happen with HHH taking over.

The boy-in-a-candy-store-like grin when Adam said "I'm better in booking..." was godlike :D Thanks. Hope that the route of MJF goes nearly as cool as you predicted! And the Punk/MJF storyline is kind of what I have been dreaming about since rumors started, that MJF would return!

Been waiting for the next 'how Adam would book' video. It's legit better watching these videos than actual wrestling.

i have no idea if adam having the masterful character of MJF as a tool for this story is what made it so brilliant, but this is genuinely the best booking i’ve seen him do

Even though Adam's here doing lists every week and those weekly round-up news videos from time to time, I've MISSED Adam talking current day wrestling. This was delightful!

God, I wish AEW would hire Adam to book. The Winter is Coming part gave me chills.

My theory on "The Firm" is that it was meant as a foil for CM Punk where it was a bunch of the voiceless who weren't being heard. Morrisey had a mouthpiece, Page and Moriarty always 2nd fiddle, Gunn Club's father chose a different tag team. It was going to be a bunch of tweeners trying to showcase these guys being passed over and used to show how CM Punk is no longer that voice of the voiceless, but had to be reworked due to Brawl Out.

The one AEW guy I’d love to see that you didn’t mention is Ricky Starks. Would love to see him and MJF go at it on the mic and in the ring

Classic adam back with the booking videos. That's the type of content i needed🔥🔥

How do you do it, Adam? This is masterful storytelling. Brilliant mate, this is brilliant.

Ah the Cody bit killed this. You could make one of the young AEW originals by having them take out MJF. Imagine Jungleboy and the reaction he'd get by finally taking down Max.

As much as I like what you did with Cody, I really want a new star to be made off of the back of this. Wardlow, Ricky Starks, Yuta, Garcia, and the Pillars are all options. But here me out… S E N D H O O K If there ever was a young prodigy with a badass vibe that you could build a title scene around, it’s Hook

These are always fun, but man it's rough that even in fantasy booking Hangman's just a footnote everyone else's story. Man can't catch a break.

Would like to see a rebooking for Braun Strowman at the height of his popularity. The dude was so over but got thrown to the wayside in order to focus on Brock and Roman.

Adam, your videos are top-tier storytelling. It would be a privilege to see you take on Rey Mysterio's world title run. Another underdog that wasn't given an opportunity to shine and any chances for clever booking was shadowed by WWE abusing Guerrero's death for cheap emotion. Also, just a list idea for October - 10 worst instances of spooky bulls***. Thank you sir!

A perfect birthday present adam thanks

Excellent booking! I will just add one thing, a countdown that MJF introduces on the first Dynamite of 2023, a countdown until January 1st of 2024. The visual of MJF beating everyone and that countdown reducing would be amazing!

An alternative you didn't mention for who would beat MJF is Darby Allin. Doesen't quite fit your story but having him be one of the first ones to face Max, lose, and then get built up into a mega-babyface underdog that finally beats him on Winter is Coming could be really good too

This booking gave me a great idea that I'm surprised AEW hasn't used. If you're the TNT champ, you should have the option to forfeit your title in exchange for a shot at the World title, really make it "Double Or Nothing"

That last fantasy booking moment. I was hooked!🔥

You know what I’d love to see you book? Zach Gowen in WWE. I’m not sure if there’s not much that can be done, but with your booking, I’m sure you can do something to make his time in the Fed more memorable than the time we got. I mean, at least put him in the Royal Rumble. They make a big deal of “both feet must hit the floor” every year, you have a one-legged guy signed to your company, and you don’t keep him around long enough for the Rumble? Just to try and do something with it?

This is actually one of my favourite bookings Adam has ever done. I think "Wrestling has more than one royal family" would blow the roof of the place if this storyline would really happen. And I absolutely would love to see it happen. Cody saving his creation from MJF, getting the farewell he never did and taking him vs MJF over the WWE would be so many levels of amazing.

Always one of the highlights of the month. This one was no different. Even in the extremely rare instances where the bookings don’t quite hit the mark (this one did and then some), I’ve still come away thinking it was better than what we actually got or would eventually be given. Keep up the excellent content on both FunKnown and NRB, good sir. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Adam. Nice to see you and love your fantasy booking. Keep that head up, mate! Love from Minnesota in the States.

I have one huge issue with this. Your booking basically tells everyone that no AEW guy could do it, so someone under WWE contract had to come in. doesn't that deminnish the whole locker room and AEW as a company? (especially if MJF leaves afterwards.)

This is the best wrestling content on the internet. Including the actual wrestling programme

Always love these. Just book anything and I’ll sit here having the best time. Keep at it Adam! 🙏🏼💪🏼

The great thing with MJF is that he is such a good heel that anybody who gets into a feud with him always gets more fan support then they ever did before the feud and sometimes even after his feud. I mean just look at Brian Pillman JR and currently Wheeler Yuta. The fans never cared about Brian more then when he feuded with MJF and currently, the fans care more about Wheeler now then they ever did before his current MJF feud

Shawn Dean. The one man who got a win over MJF (with CM Punks help) the man MJF shoved when he made his grand entrance. He’s been in the background and not been noticed by many, but he isn’t an Ex WWE guy and he is (technically) and AEW original. Throughout the year of MJF, after Wardlow drops the TNT title a tournament is held to crown a new one. However it’s all fresh faces: Fuego Del Sol, Lee Moriarty, Kip Sabian, Ortiz, RUSH, Nick Commerato, Tony Neese and Shawn Dean. Dean wins the TNT title and slowly is built as the babyface of the tournament. He wins the title and has sparse interactions with MJF. The last ditch effort should be him, it seems underwhelming but with enough time and holding the two men apart for as long as possible you could do it. In fact to add another layer to this, have Dean stay TNT champion for as long as MJF, a subtle “anything you can do, I can do better” type thing. Both titles being held for almost a year. Then going into the winter is coming event, put both titles on the line in a winner take all match. MJF loves having the big stakes match and what’s even more high stakes then not just the world title of the company but the networks title possibly both going over to the other channel. And Shawn Dean winning to become the first ever double champion (with singles belts, yes PAC is the first double champion) making a huge star and keeping a rematch in the wings incase MJF does resign.

Would love this story especially the ending, if possible Cody should be wwe champion when he does so he can be the only man to ever hold the wwe and aew title at the same time, and if mjf goes to wwe give him money in the bank and there's a feud right there

Great video Adam and emphasize on the fantasy part at the end. Always love these books vids

Think my favourite thing about these booking videos is just seeing how happy Adam is doing it. It's nice to watch

I was there live the week before Grand Slam recently and the loudest pop of the night (other than Danielson tapping out Jericho) was MJF cussing people out. It's baffling, it's insane, and it's amazing

How Adam Would Book... Umaga.

I seen the title and knew it was a must

So glad you came back to doing videos like this

Finally mjf is going to be a huge superstar 🔥🔥🔥

I think Eddie Kingston should confront MJF the episode after the Mox injury angle and get taken out as well. I would have Orange Cassidy challenge him instead. The person to dethrone him at Winter is coming should be Eddie Kingston after a year of emotional storytelling building towards his crowning

Might be your best one yet. Chills at the end sequence

Love your booking videos, they seem so much more detailed and thought out than what the "Professionals" do

MJF is one of those stars where he absolutely fits as a heel and could do a face run but it won't be as great as his heel run. I would say his character is the absolute definition of kayfabe his work with the character blurs the line of reality and storyline which is something we need more of in Wrestling

Fun fact: MJF auditioned for WWE's Tough Enough.

YES!!! I LOVED UR ENDING!!! albeit a long shot, THANK UU ❤️

Adam, these vids make me happy. Great job here. The only thing missing would be a miniprogramme with Jericho and Guevara for MJF as champ - I think you need to pull every thread if there's a chance MJF leaves. Additionally, post winter is coming, I've LONG felt that we need a show called Time Runs Out, the final show of the year, where the top 5 for early in the next year is finalised (less relevant now the rankings have been done away with). But this could be a good chance for MJF to say his goodbyes or start a new programme with the Intervention or the Firm...the Firmtervention

I’d be interested to see you book Otis’s money in the bank cash in and what that looks like(potential idea for the tag team championships)

I’m really excited to see what the firm becomes. Stokely, Ethan Page and Lee Moriarty are all amazing so I have hope that they’ll make MJF’s stories better

I don't follow AEW but loved the story you told Adam. Thanks for all the work you put into it.

Always looking forward to your booking videos. No matter the topic, Adam always goes the extra creative mile.

I still want how Adam would of booked rvd’s wwe and ecw championship run

Would like to see how you would book the house of black, a Darby Allin heel run or forbidden door 2

I love that to be fair so many conclusions to holes left in stories you smashed it Adam

I got goosebumps on the "Wrestling has only more than one royal family.."

Such a solid booking. Great job, Adam.

Seems like AEW creative saw this video after hearing MJFs first promo as champion last night. Uncanny resemblance to the booking here

Now that was a great booking video! Imagine the crowd trying to decide whether to cheer or boo MJF as this run continued?! Also loved the relevance of MJF faction.

BEEN WAITING FOR A BOOKING VIDEO

A Dax the Axe upset on MJF for the title on a random dynamite would be amazing on a fantasy level

I agree with most of this, but I'd have MJF lose the world title at the last hurdle not to Cody, but to a man who is Absolute.

This is your best booking vid since that Goldberg one from waaaay back. Proper good this.

I am salivating over how good this storyline is. It's just too perfect.

Idea: How Adam would book Gobbledy Gooker

I do truly believe that if MJF is to hold the title until the end of 2023, that it would be the perfect opportunity for some kind of Forbidden Door with Cody and WWE. Especially if Cody is also champion at that point

Unreal! Incredible creativity! I’ve come to expect this of Adam but this topped it. “Wrestling has more than one royal family…” ~ Chills.

Really great video. One thing I wanna put forth is swapping Hangman and Omega's spots. Make Hangman the last bastion of hope to really stress him fighting for AEW. Also, in order to get the match in the first place, run Hangman vs. Punk. Make Hangman need to overcome the man who ended his own title reign. Also give some payoff to Punk going offscript and burying Hangman.

I'm still waiting for MJF's title win.

Now, I love your booking for the “Devil” or as I call him the Prick, MJF however. What about Frankie Kazarian, Christopher Daniels, Scorpio Sky or for another example Sonny Kiss? Elevate other home grown talent.

Jeeeeesuz man what the hell that’s amazing!!!! You’ve done it again. All hail.

Great story booking!! Great stuff man I like it!!!

*HALF THE AUDIENCE CHANTING* LET'S GO, ADAM. *THE OTHER HALF CHANTING* ADAM RULES. Also, yes, Adam, you are better than us, and we know it. Not only with booking, but in looks and everything too. YOU ARE THE BEST. And really thank you for booking AEW for us, you legend. One love ❤️ P.S. PLEASE COLLAB WITH SIMON MILLER. You two are the best parts of the Internet wrestling community.

How Adam would Book... Brodie Lee's Championship run.

That promo at the start!!! Man I could literally hear MJF say that exact speech. Chefs kiss

I would love to watch some editorial pieces from adam, focused on what's currently happening in pro-wrestling.

I am… also, the first comment

Maaaaaan!!! This was a good one! Nicely done!

This is the best fantasy booking video we've had in months. Adam really stepped up this time.

I loved it. I was wrapped up in the whole story. You are very good at booking.

That was beautiful. I got goosebumps in the end ❤

Excellent video as always Adam. You almost lost me with the Kenny love fest but you brought me back with Cody 🤣

Potential ideas: - AEW’s women’ division (what are the problems and what are the solutions) - Main roster run for Finn Balor as the Prince (his NXT run)

You're really good at this...thank you.

Best one of these Adam has ever done. Beautiful. Emotional.

Adam, you have seriously outdone yourself this time. I am not kidding when I say this made me tear up at the end. You are too good a fantasy booker to be of this world.

💯 EXCELLENT BOOKING There’s a universe across the universe where this will happen & I want to see that happen in this one

really enjoyed this!

Good as always, Adam! Also, can I please get the ending of The Aces And Eights?

Loved it! Thanks for the AEW content Adam!!

Great work, Adam! What a hell of a storyline!

That was incredible..... Adam one thing cannot be denied.....you are an incredible story teller. Why WWE or AEW hasn't hired you to write in creative is baffling.

Omg this booking is amazing. Would be epic if we got a variation of this. I'm not gonna lie that I was hanging on to every word.

I feel the best narrative closure for this story that would fit the confines. Instead of Eddie Kingston being the first challenger he's the final one. In the background of the MJF story you build up Kingston allowing him to rectify himself of his demons free himself of all the anger the hatred he's had inside him since the Punk feud and with Jericho. You also have Eddie make a deal with Tony, since Tony could be hesitant not sure Eddie could get it done. Either Kingston wins for AEW or if he looses he's out of AEW. You show that Eddie loves AEW that it's his home, and he won't let MJF defy and spit on his home. You can have fun with promos saying Eddie agreed with MJF at one point like about Punk, yet both men are the antithesis of one another. Where MJF weaseled his way to the top Eddie fought from the dirt to get the recognition he does. That this is his last chance to do right by the fans, by Tony who gave him the proper shot to be who he is without any filter, and especially to himself to prove he is top champ material. The one man never expected to be the face of a mainstream company, the man who'd always make the stars never expected to be one. Eddie is an embodiment of what AEW started and wanted to represent, the FU difference the style the look gritty in your face and willing to fight against odds and prove people wrong. And you tell me that moment Eddie wins wouldn't be a tear jerker moment?

man i wish the cody stuff could happen. if only wwe could realize collaboration is a good thing for everyone.

So good I had to watch it a second time, round of applause once again Adam.

A-mazing. Brilliant stuff as always,

This was incredible from start to finish

I thought hook would be the last to come out. Love that Cody twist

I personally would love to see you do a fantasy rebooking of Legacy. both Cody and Ted Dibiasse were incredibly Underutilized, basically serving as Orton’s sidekicks. There were two other people looking to join earlier on but were kicked out, and really worst of all, Orrin was the only person who really got elevated to the higher level of the card, when you had potentially four Up-and-coming stars. Would love to see you work your magic Mr Adam you are the best booker in the online wrestling world.
