2734518, I pretty much hated Hollywood Hogan's extended reign

The kept the belt on him waaay too long. The returns were more and more diminishing the longer it went on. And considering how bungled the ending turned out to be, I think it's good that AEW didn't follow that template.

I will 100% grant that even now Jericho is better than Hogan was in the late '90s (or mid '90s), but giving him a six-month reign to effectively kickstart AEW seems like the right move. Wasn't hot-shotted, and it didn't overstay it's welcome.

I certainly don't want a long-term Omega reign either. But I can live with it now. It's a matter of personal preference, but if you give me a choice of champion who can talk but his work is shaky, and one who can work but is shaky on the mic, I'll take the latter.

Good thing MJF can do both. And at least we're in agreement on that.
