My parents were in town for my kids’ Spring Break so we all watched the tournament together. They had never been exposed to AJ before. I explained his backstory, they watched his loss, wrestle back for 3rd, and Quint’s interviews. They loved him, and he honestly converted me somewhat. They don’t watch wrestling and are not goonish (à la Ferrari fam) in the least (Denver suburban folks). I think that’s data suggesting that this version of AJ is unequivocally great for the sport.
