The Pinnacle are a Professional Wrestling Power Stable appearing on All Elite Wrestling, from March 2021 to March 2022, led by Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), managed by Tully Blanchard, and also including Wardlow, Shawn Spears, and the tag team FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The early seeds of the faction were sown when Blanchard began managing Spears and later FTR, initially on a separate individual basis. Meanwhile, MJF and his bodyguard Wardlow failed to carry out a coup in Chris Jericho's Inner Circle faction when all the other members remained loyal to Jericho, tricking MJF into showing his hand. Revealing that he'd formed a faction of his own, MJF was joined by Blanchard and his clients united along with Wardlow as they all bludgeoned the Inner Circle. The next week, MJF formally introduced the group, revealing that he'd been intending from the start to destroy the Inner Circle from within.After a lengthy heated feud with the Inner Circle, The Pinnacle entered a sort of limbo where its members would each branch off to focus on their individual goals and feuds generally, occasionally reassembling to assist one another when needed, so it wasn't often they were all seen together at once. This included especially MJF's feud with his former childhood hero CM Punk, a saga which revealed the roots, as well as the depths, of MJF's darkness, with his overbearing nature as Wardlow's boss also rearing its ugly head to the point of costing Wardlow major opportunities and even slapping him. This would result in the stable's ultimate undoing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })At the Revolution PPV in March 2022, Wardlow turned on MJF and cost him the match with Punk, soon announcing he had left The Pinnacle. Shortly thereafter, FTR fired Blanchard as manager, while MJF and Spears feuded with Wardlow while attempting to freeze his contract as MJF's bodyguard. When Wardlow attempted to enter the arena during an FTR match, the duo questioned MJF and subsequently turned face, though without attacking him or officially exiting the group. After Wardlow squashed MJF and won his freedom to work for AEW directly at June's Double or Nothing PPV, MJF ranted on company president Tony Khan in a Worked Shoot "nuke" promo the following Dynamite and subsequently disappeared from television.As of the summer 2022, FTR has reestablished ties with Wardlow, with their occasional alliance being the last remaining vestige of The Pinnacle. The three won their first matches as a trio leading up to, and eventually at, All Out, ironically the same night MJF finally reemerged as the leader of a new group.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Spiritual Successor | |
| The Pinnacle (Wrestling) / int_27a42ebc | comment |
Spiritual Successor: The third national-level successor to the legendary and famous faction The Four Horsemen, following the lead of Evolution in WWE and Fortune in TNA. Difference being, the Horseman original who mentored the group and reinforced the connection was NOT Ric Flair, but the far more consistently serious Tully Blanchard. | |

Eviler than Thou: To the Inner Circle and turned them Face as a result, who MJF called out for engaging in "comedy bullshit" since their foundation. | |

Foreshadowing: Anyone remember the time that MJF and Shawn Spears were playing some card games in the crowd during the pandemic era in 2020? Little do we know that little moment turn out to be very important later on.... | |

Expy: Let's see, FTR = the Andersons, Wardlow = Lex Luger, Shawn Spears = Tully Blanchard, and MJF = Ric Flair. And don't forget the aforementioned Horsemen OG Tully Blanchard, who filled the James J. Dillon role. Bonus points for having Sting as an enemy. | |
