AEW Dynamite - The TBS era begins - 1.5.22

[Loose Cannon]

Table was too close to the ring for that spot :-(

yep they definitely overshot it.

[slik]

I definitely am going to have watch Real Housewives now so I can not focus on that spot

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Probably gonna stop watching wrestling for the foreseeable future

Take up Real Housewives so we can discuss that :lol:

[ron the dial]

let's bring back the #HotTeenDrama Forum and rebrand as the #RealHousewives Forum

[ron the dial]

or was it just a thread graciously hosted by Kris P in the mma forum? who knows. my brain hurts after that shit.

[Vastardikai]

Based on results:

1. Can we call Bryan Danielson buried, now?
2. "MJF, we need you to take one for the team..." "OK!"
3. I wonder if TBS' Standards and Practices is as blase' about wordy words as TNT's was.
4. "Ruby, I need you to take one for the team..." "That's fine, I didn't want to Ho's Title, anyway."
5. The Third (and least charismatic) Pillar finally has a belt in AEW. The apple fell very far from that tree, then rolled down a mountain, got swept away by a river, and suck to the bottom of the sea.
6. And... they killed Rey Fenix (again). Seriously, how many times has he been injured doing stupid shit in AEW? This has to be at least the 5th time.
7. Can we just get a new Dinosaur man? One who doesn't look like he's fighting underwater, and isn't dangerous in the ring?

[slik]

let's bring back the #HotTeenDrama Forum and rebrand as the #RealHousewives Forum

There's a lot of drama (both personal and of the legal nature) on the various RH shows...from current series of RH of SLC alone:


* The FBI/Homeland Security interupted filming, on a party bus, with an arrest warrant for a cast member

* Someone's grandmother died and it was stated in her will for her grandaughter to marry her grandfather, which she then did

* A cast member who has their own church it turns out is actually running a cult where the people in the church think she is God

[Evil Vito]

Sounds like Jake Atlas blew out his knee on Rampage :( bad night for injuries

[slik]

Just saw that mentioned on twitter, yikes.

The match was ended ASAP and Atlas was helped to the back

[Sepholio]

Damn isnt this only his first or second appearance for AEW? Shit luck man.

[Triple A]

oh jeez

Bryan Alvarez says broken arm, but PWInsider says "the belief is he likely dislocated his elbow."

Rey Fenix was taken to the hospital. The belief is he likely dislocated his elbow, which given how evil the injury looked, would be a blessing.

[Jordan]

It broke the skin that's for sure. You can see a ton of blood pooling up right after he lands and his arm is all floppy and he starts motioning to someone that he's really injured.

[xrodmuc316]

Work smarter, not harder. Fenix breaks his arm for about 1/10th the amount of money Tony Khan is paying Phil to bury his talent and cut "Fed Bad" promos.

[Jordan]

At this point Fenix has got to make a change.

[GD]

What kind of a tone deaf post is this? Do you have no shame or are you mildly challenged?

[xrodmuc316]

What kind of a tone deaf post is this? Do you have no shame or are you mildly challenged?

Its like the 4th time he has been injured in AEW. Maybe it is time he changes things up.

[Sepholio]

I get what you mean. He is one of the highest of the high flyers, always taking ridiculous risks and bumps. At some point you can't sustain that style anymore, whether you just can't do it or whether you get hurt repeatedly or whatever. He's been hurt alot the last few years, and this one may end up being really bad. At some point he has to tone it down.

It sucks though because this style and what he does is what makes him special. I'm sure he can still work great though even if he backs off the insane bumps all the time. He's talented af, if anyone can make it work it's a guy like Rey.

And while it's a bit insensitive what Xrod is saying about money isn't wrong. It can't be easy going out there week in and week out putting your body and health on the line like Rey does and only make a fraction of what an old timer who hasn't worked in 7 years gets to come out and cut the same promo every week and (until now with MJF and other than the Darby program) has only faced relative low carders. It would annoy me to be in that position, anyways.

[weather vane]

You guys are the worst lol.

[Sting Fan]

What kind of a tone deaf post is this? Do you have no shame or are you mildly challenged?

Just window lickers, gotta keep upping the shock factor or everyone ignores them.

[Sting Fan]

Another awesome show!

Hangman vs Dragon was hot shit.

Jade winning TBS title was the right call and hopefully will help her grow as well.

Punk and MJF can keep going as far as I’m concerned.

Main event was sweet, gutted for Fenix to get injured (looked disgusting) and probably took away from JBs big win a bit sadly but good call on the title change IMO. They made me bite on a couple of false finishes too!

If I was to criticise tonight (haven’t read the thread) World title commentary felt flat, a few big moves felt a bit ignored and false finishes didn’t seem very likely to finish based on the announcers reaction. This did detract from the match for me.

[Sepholio]

Were any of you hurt by what Xrod said or something? Because you're acting like you're hurt.

It sucks what happened but it literally has no bearing on anyone here. Not sure why you're acting like it's taboo to talk about it.

Also not sure how suggesting Rey may need to tone it down so he doesn't end up ending his career early is bad. Saying it sucks that he isn't compensated as much as a guy like Punk for all the effort he puts in isn't some shocking statement; it's kinda realistic. It's insensitive to Rey, the timing is bad, but it isn't wrong and like I said it effects no one here so I don't get it.

You guys just get bitchy about everything he says because it's the in thing to do here. Kinda sad.

[ron the dial]

does he need a white knight like rhi?

[Sepholio]

I mean I get it, bringing up Punk/fed bad promos is typical Xrod. It's kinda amusing considering how he complains about Tony Khan being Tony Khan all the time. But jfc give the guy a break some time.

[Sepholio]

does he need a white knight like rhi?

Apparently so. But I mean go on. Run off the only new person we've had here in years because they don't have the same opinion as everyone else.

[ron the dial]

hey xrod are you a big baby like that? i don't think so, but maybe i'm wrong.

[Sepholio]

I didn't think Droford could ever be run off yet here we are.

[Sepholio]

ps plz come back Droford

[ron the dial]

goddammit you make a heartbreaking point

[ron the dial]

xrod please don't go

[ron the dial]

we can bring back the TPWW Tag Team Turmoil and win it as Weapon xrod

[ron the dial]

xrod the dial

[Sepholio]

If there is ever a Broadway production of TPWW: The Musical then I sincerely hope that Xrod is played by William Shatner.

Weapon Xrod is actually a really great name ngl

Nah u should make another account and pretend to be an even more annoying version of him for attention

[Fignuts]

Did droford get run off? I thought he bailed when Trump lost.

[Evil Vito]

Did droford get run off? I thought he bailed when Trump lost.

That's exactly what happened. Talked mad shit for months about how Trump was a lock to win, was claiming it was being stolen all during the week of the election....bailed basically as soon as the result was announced.

All the shit people gave him over his irrational Ravens and Orioles fandom for years, and yet Trump was his breaking point. Sad.

[Sepholio]

I honestly think Team Xtremist got to him. He was harassing tf out of him constantly over the election.

[Fignuts]

The problem with xrod is that he IS an intelligent poster. I'm never surprised when he makes a valid point, but I stopped interacting when it became clear that he was actively choosing to play the jester and mostly make far reaching criticisms for his own amusement, when there are plenty of legit, more obvious arguments to be made against aew. You can tell by how carefully he chooses what posts he responds to. Anyone makes a counterpoint good enough, he ignores it completely.

He doesn't break character enough to genuinely add discussion to the forum, so I don't really care if he leaves, regardless of how hard up we are for new blood.

[Wehttam]

it would be good if he was funny, but he just fails time after time

Some painful humans on here. I don’t mind though.

Yeah it is pretty misplaced hate, I did not say I was glad he got hurt, or he deserved it or anything harsh. It is the same thing countless wrestlers have said about younger generations, work smarter not harder.

Fenix is really good, and would still be really good without taking so many risks.

Just because Tony Khan is a money mark and Phil can't cut a promo without bringing up WWE, well that does not change the fact that Fenix is too good to be risking his well being constantly.

They are mad I took a shot at Tony and Phil, but instead of posting they were upset I did that, they tried to act righteous by pretending I was cool with Fenix getting injured.

Tony Khan is a jackass, Phil is bitter over something from 10 years ago, and Fenix deserves MUCH better. Suck on that snowflakes! :rofl:

[GD]

That’s a petty response to a straightforward statement. The account was a mistake and I have taken full responsibility for it.

I agree with most of xrod’s criticism. However, his approach is extremely cringeworthy. I doubt he’ll leave over something like that. He’s a wrestling forum staple for better or worse.

[Jordan]

Looks like the arm dislocated (completely) at the elbow which is better than a break so Rey won't be out for more than a few months likely.

So glad it's not worse, whew!

It's fair to criticize Tony Khan's conduct. But that's all you ever post about.

Also, one thing that bothers me is that the fans gave Punk a pass even though he ditched his best friend midway through a trial.

Its literally been 6 days, since Tony Khan spazzed out on New Years Eve, that I have randomly inserted a joke about Tony Khan being racist. Maybe a total of 5 posts that I "shoehorned" it in where it had nothing to do with anything. And yes, that was by design, but still.

Talking about Tony Khan in an AEW thread though, that is not shoehorning anything. And "my made up narratives"? I guess I just made up the thread Slik made about Tony Khan being an assclown on Twitter. Maybe I even made up Big Swole giving an interview, then I made up the article title to create clickbait, and lastly I made up Tony Khan's response.

All me, sorry guys, guess like Hulkamania, my imagination is runnin wild!!!!

[GD]

Big Swole gone.

Good, she was pretty outwardly racist.

@xrod Why's Big Swole racist?

[Jordan]

I dont get why everyone is piling on xrod for what he said about Fenix. The dude is always getting hurt and it's usually because he pushes the envelope so far that it's an inevitability. Think of how many times he's fallen face first to the mat or ontop of his head. The dude is resilient no doubt but he is also highly valuable and needs to work smarter.

Also while I'm a big fan of Tony in general, he's definitely subject to plenty of shit talk because he is a fucking nerd and only has friends because he's very rich. Still love his passion for wrestling but I wish he would STFU.

[xrodmuc316]

@xrod Why's Big Swole racist?

Have you ever read what she writes or listened to what she says? Just because Tony Khan responded so poorly to her usual rhetoric doesn't mean that she is suddenly righteous. She plays the race card way too often, even tried to do so in regards to Jade Cargill.

I am guessing you couldn't argue with my points, so you searched old posts for some kind of gotcha moment.

Here let me help you, this is a much more recent comment

And didnt Khan say this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FH-pZ3CWYAIEu-_?format=jpg&name=small

But now suddenly her wrestling isn't good? Come on man, we all know what this is. This is Tony once again responding poorly to a tiny bit of criticism. Like flipping out on Fox News, or that female reporter.

Ive said it before about Swole, she is pretty outwardly racist herself with things she has said and the frequency which she plays the race card, but in this case, with THAT response from Tony, he proved her point.

[xrodmuc316]

Also while I'm a big fan of Tony in general, he's definitely subject to plenty of shit talk because he is a fucking nerd and only has friends because he's very rich. Still love his passion for wrestling but I wish he would STFU.

This is what annoys me the most. I know I would enjoy AEW so much more if this idiot was never heard from. But even though he should STFU, he can't help himself.

That was not my intention. I’m certain that I asked this before and it remained unanswered. I was just giving it another shot. If you read my other posts in this thread…for the most part, I am not disagreeing with what you have to say.

People want to stick their fingers in their ears and ignore reason so they can enjoy the thing they’ve hitched their wagon to. I know I’m disrupting the peace when I talk about AEW sucking, their flaws and what it is doing to the perception of wrestling. But I also know that I am not alone and that people do appreciate the balance and it might make them feel less insane if they come on here and see it is not a complete echo chamber.

No comments on this TBS show. It didn’t even hit my radar this week. I’m interested in the rating though.

[xrodmuc316]

I don’t doubt that you genuinely dislike Tony Khan.

Very true, and admittedly I did state that I did it a few times in these last few days. Weapon X even replied twice to me that I am obsessed, because that waa the joke, that I brought it up a few times randomly in threads about different things.

That is all white people, Tony Khan would love it!

"You had me at Dog" ~ Tony Khan :rofl:

He appears fairly white, Tony Khan likely to hire him in no time!

Of course he promoted CM Punk, CM Punk is white :rofl:

Right. But then there’s stuff like you ragging on Tony for promoting CM Punk’s Daly Place debut. I still don’t know whether that was meant to be taken seriously. It wasn’t said in the same tone as this other stuff. But the fact that you’ve got this side “gimmick” going muddles everything.

I say you should full-on commit to a comedy gimmick or drop it entirely. Don’t half-ass it.

Because that was fucking stupid. How is CM Punk's first ever appearance at Daily's Place special whatsoever? It's a 5 year old building, they NEVER promoted any other person's first appearance there, and it is not like he was having a title match or anything special at all. This is not Donald Trump walking into North Korea as the first sitting US President ever. CM Punk at Daily's Place got top billing for the entire show. That is a Ludicrous thing to promote.

[#1-norm-fan]

Daly's Place is there home arena. It doesn't matter that it's 5 years old. AEW is younger than that. It's their home arena. For them it's a big deal.

CM Punk is their biggest star.

Their biggest star made his debut in their home arena and they put it first on the marquee for their weekly TV show that week.

And this triggered a deep "LOL FUCK TONY KHAN" reaction from you.

You see the issue here?

CM Punk is their biggest star? Based on what, T-Shirt sales, direct to DVD low budget horror movies, or losing to a dude named Johnny Bananas on MTV's The Challenge?

Why didn't Cody Rhodes get a "First time at Daily's Place hype" the first time he was there? What about Moxley or Omega? Daniel Bryan has main evented 2 Wrestlemania's, where was his Daily's Place debut graphic and tweets? Hell they had Shaq have a freaking match at Daily's Place, why didn't Daily's Place get top billing then?

Tony Khan loves CM Punk, has gone on record as saying Punk was the first guy he wanted to sign because he is such a fan. And really that is what it is all about, he is not their biggest star, he is just Tony Khan's favorite toy.

As for Punk himself, CM Punk said for YEARS he would never go back to wrestling, "NEVER EVER EVER!", but then he failed at everything else he tried, and it changed to "I meant I'll never go back to WWE". Except he tried to get his agent to reach out to WWE, and they said no thanks, not interested. Then he got Fox to hire him for a show about WWE, and tried to get WWE to hire him again, and again WWE said no. Then Fox offered to pay Punk's salary for him to be on Smackdown, costing Vince nothing, and Vince STILL said no.

Then all of a sudden, "hey I love AEW", even though for over 2 years he ripped them. Talking about how they are unprofessional by texting him offers, how they would have to pay him WAY MORE because he could make more going back to WWE. Meanwhile all he does is STILL talk about WWE in promos and interviews and on Twitter, because who is he if he is not "Fed Bad" guy?

Dude hates WWE, they held him back and stifled his creativity. Now in AEW he has the creative freedom to be himself, except instead he came back as the exact same WWE character he was when he quit. Same white T-Shirt, same music, same moves, same catchphrases, etc. I

Yes most of this is a about Punk and not Daily's Place, but to tie it all together, it is not JUST Daily's Place that was irrelevant, Punk's first time in any arena is not a big deal either.

[Jordan]

Punk only started to become interested in AEW when Brodie died and he's never taken drugs or smoked cigarettes. CM Punk is a real star who has a deep relationship with the AEW which sees itself as the smartest wrestling fans.

Punk holds victories over talents that Roman does not, legends like Raven, McGuiness and Regal. Sure Roman has a very very cool tattoo that really kicks ass and also really bad ass hair that makes you wanna just get up and go! But that aside guys like CM Punk are hard to find. He doesn't drink he doesn't smoke and his only addiction is competition. That's a shoot brother, he is the G in legit.

So who is AEW's biggest star then?

[Jordan]

Moxley

[xrodmuc316]

So who is AEW's biggest star then?

Cody, Omega, Bryan, Page, Moxley, Jericho, pick one. Hell Sting is a bigger star than Punk. Even Hook has surpassed his T-Shirt sales.

[#1-norm-fan]

Sting is the only one you can argue.

None of the other ones you mentioned are a bigger star than Punk.

You’re being ridiculous.

[#1-norm-fan]

Page? Omega? Hook? Really?

[Sepholio]

I think Bryan is a bigger star for sure. Arguments can easily be made for Jericho and Moxley being bigger deals than CM Punk nowadays too.

If Punk didn't have that 7 year lay off he would be the biggest star of them all rn though.

[Sepholio]

I dunno about Jericho actually. I think he's fallen out of that argument over the last year now that I think about it.

But I still think Bryan and prob Mox eclipse Punk.

[#1-norm-fan]

Bryan’s got that same “golden days of the IWC darlings” recognition but I think Punk’s a bit of a bigger name. Definitely a bigger name than Moxley and the others mentioned.

[#1-norm-fan]

Also,


Why didn't Cody Rhodes get a "First time at Daily's Place hype" the first time he was there?

He was there from the beginning. His first time at Daily’s place was probably AEW’s first time at Daily’s place and definitely before it became “home” to them.

Another weird point. lol

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Why are we comparing Cody, who’s seemingly typecast himself as a mid card wrestler in his own fed, to CM Punk, a top merch mover who was one of the main guys in the biggest wrestling company on earth? Like, it’s not even close lol. If the company didn’t hype up Punk appearing on TV they’d be idiots.

[xrodmuc316]

Page? Omega? Hook? Really?

Hook by the t-shirt sales, since that was one of the things Punk was number 1 at. Not anymore though, Hook tapped his shirt sales out.

[xrodmuc316]

LOL by what metric? Bryan has accomplished things Punk never did. Plus whatever you want to think about reality shows, Bryan has been on those for many years as well. The YES chant took over sports for a while. Bryan Danielson is a far bigger star.

[xrodmuc316]

Cody Rhodes is on 2 different TV Shows, does all the pressers, and is somebody who's lineage in the wrestling business AEW is built on. Cody Rhodes is a bigger star than CM Punk.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hook by the t-shirt sales, since that was one of the things Punk was number 1 at. Not anymore though, Hook tapped his shirt sales out.

So what? Hook’s t-shirt sales also outdrew everyone else in the company. At least temporarily. That includes all those other guys you mentioned as AEW’s biggest stars. So if I mentioned Hook beating their shirt sales as a point against them would that be valid? Or is it only somehow a knock against Punk? lol

I asked you how you determined Punk is their biggest star. I asked if it was based off t-shirt sales. IF, and I am not saying you said this, but IF t-shirt sales are a metric, then Hook beats Punk. Or is the number of t-shirts sold not a plus unless it is for Punk?

[Triple A]

I think the "biggest star" with the most "mainstream" name recognition is probably Jericho

Biggest "draw" among people who watch wrestling I would say is still Punk at this point, as far as ticket sales and PPV buys and merch sales and stuff... but feel like that will continue to wear off as time goes on since a lot of it is him returning after being away for so long

[Triple A]

The t-shirt sales thing just shows the top sellers of the week, so makes sense that Hook's new shirts would temporarily be at the top. Most people who want CM Punk shirts already bought them...

[#1-norm-fan]

Sure, moving merch is one metric. Hook had the #1 shirt after he debuted. Punk had #2. You know who had #3?

Punk.

So... misleading. But yes. Merch sales are important. That doesn’t mean Hook taking #1 temporary is particularly relevant. Hook is not in the conversation. Lol

Punk is also responsible for the biggest rating they’ve had (I think) since their debut. And that happened on the late Friday night B-show.

Of course Hook is not AEW's biggest star. I am also not saying Punk is not a draw at all, far from it, and yes he popped a rating, but that gain was gone within a month.

We clearly disagree on his importance/value to AEW overall. He is the is the central figure we have butted heads over the last 6 months, with a sprinkling of Tony Khan mixed in. It is what it is, an agree to disagree situation.

[Jordan]

Cody is a huge star, girls love him and guys hate him. He is one of the best in the world in the ring and constantly has 5 star matches and has a beautiful wife and cute dog. Sure his neck tattoo is a huge mistake and he went to hard for America once in a promo but he is the star of Go Big Show and was on seven episodes of Arrow.

I would rather see Ricky Rabies than CM Punk, to be honest. At least he isn't bitching about 7 year old bullshit.

[Evil Vito]

I actually don't even think Punk's WWE references even come from him having an axe to grind anymore, feel like he "moved on" from it ages ago and was eager to get the frivolous lawsuit with the doctor over with.

But I think he's just of the mindset that stuff like that shots on WWE always make for an "easy pop" from the audience. He's not the only wrestler that does it, but I feel like they need to stop with playing to the lowest common denominator like that.

I cringed a little when they'd do the WWE references in the early days of AEW, but at this point they've been on TV for over two years and it just doesn't feel needed.

[Fignuts]

LOL by what metric? Bryan has accomplished things Punk never did. Plus whatever you want to think about reality shows, Bryan has been on those for many years as well. The YES chant took over sports for a while. Bryan Danielson is a far bigger star.

The YES chants did not "take over sports". They were at a handful of events, and I can guarantee you most of the people doing it had no idea it was related to wrestling fans. A group of wrestling fans in the crowd started and herd mentality took over.

[#1-norm-fan]

I actually don't even think Punk's WWE references even come from him having an axe to grind anymore, feel like he "moved on" from it ages ago and was eager to get the frivolous lawsuit with the doctor over with.

What are some of these WWE references he’s made? Gonnaneed a short list because I have a feeling the “fed bad” vibe might be another “Tony promoting Punk at Daily’s Place” level reach.

His return promo was more about his journey back than the fed. I know about the “less talented Miz” line. That’s actually kinda fed GOOD if you think about it. What else?

[Evil Vito]

Well a big part of his promo this week involved MJF and Punk sparring with MJF claiming he could go right to "the other place" and do something Phil couldn't and headline Mania. Punk told him to go have fun over there and he'll be waiting in AEW when MJF inevitably gets his future endeavors.

He broke out Cena's five moves of doom against Eddie Kingston, although tbf he was basically playing the heel in that one and the crowd figured out two moves in what he was doing.

Also he did a tongue in cheek reference to his own pipebomb promo which I found funny because Punk's said himself he kinda regrets that promo simply because everyone and their brother has tried to do a "shoot" since then.

None of this really bothers me tbh. Punk always felt like someone who could get away with any wink wink stuff but I can see why it grates on other people/makes him look bitter.

[drave]

so MJF brought it up, and that's Punk's fault? I dunno, didn't watch.

[Evil Vito]

Well one of MJF's talking points in recent weeks is the "bidding war of 2024", which is when is contract ends. In and of itself that entire talking point is meant to get MJF heat because the implication is he'll eventually take the WWE payday. So Punk took that and ran with it even further.

It's just very meta I guess. It's not like stuff like this hampers my enjoyment or whatever but I don't feel its needed. I enjoy watching AEW because it is an entertaining product, I don't need to be reminded about why WWE sucks.

But again, it's an easy way to pop the segment of the audience that jacks itself off at "insider references"

[drave]

Oh.




Whatever pops the marks is good for business overall I'd think, regardless of who is holding the stick.


MJF is extremely good on the mic, but he'd be a mid-carder in WWE.


Member when WCW and WWE existed and this stuff already happened and it viewed as a good thing?

[BigCrippyZ]

Any recent references to WWE by Punk have been in response to MJF bringing up going there after AEW or MJF talking about Punk's time in WWE, for example, how Punk never main evented a Mania, was a different/better performer there than now in AEW, etc.

It'd be pointless, stupid, and weird for Punk not to respond about it.

[xrodmuc316]

I tried to move on, I explained why that was dumb over and over, Daily's Place is not special, or they would promote everybody's first time there. CM Punk is not special, otherwise they would promote his first time at every arena he has never been at before.

Why did Punk, who has made it known over the years how bitter he is that he never main evented Wrestlemania while Miz did, who got so triggered over a comment Miz made on WWE backstage that he tweeted go suck a blood covered Saudi dick, need to bring up Miz at all? If Punk is so good, why does he need that crutch?

"Main Event Night 4 of a buy 1 get 1 free show". Real righteous comment there, not bitter at all.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The WWE-centric dogs are really cringe-worthy. No matter who says them. Just stop reminding people there is something bigger and better just down the street.

[BigCrippyZ]

Yeah, wouldn't want to have any reality in the product.

[xrodmuc316]

Yeah, wouldn't want to have any reality into the product.

Yeah, like not talking about how CM Punk's ass was so decisively beat in UFC, just so he can talk like a tough guy who can kick anybody's ass. Reality

[BigCrippyZ]

So you agree that they should acknowledge reality?

[Vastardikai]

When a song references other, better songs, it doesn't make me want to hear the song doing the references. It just makes me want to hear the better songs.

It's the same bullshit TNA/Impact used to do and they are a large thriving company right now, ri... Oh yeah.

[xrodmuc316]

So you agree that they should acknowledge reality?

They should either Acknowledge all reality, or stay in their own bubble. Either everything is fair game, or nothing is. If they want to pretend they are shooting, then how does nobody say "i've seen you fight, you can't kick anybody's ass".

[ron the dial]

MJF did call out his shitty MMA career a few weeks back if i'm not mistaken

[BigCrippyZ]

Are you assuming because they haven't done it yet that means they never will? Do you think they should just throw every insult out there at each other at one time?

[xrodmuc316]

MJF did call out his shitty MMA career a few weeks back if i'm not mistaken

What he said was something along the lines of lasting longer than his UFC career, nothing about how he got destroyed and embarassed. In fact the insult MJF said doesn't really make sense because PhIl was signed to UFC for about 3 and a half years, even though it was only 2 fights.

[#1-norm-fan]

I tried to move on, I explained why that was dumb over and over, Daily's Place is not special, or they would promote everybody's first time there. CM Punk is not special, otherwise they would promote his first time at every arena he has never been at before.

Again... Daily’s Place is special TO AEW because it’s their home. It doesn’t matter how big of a deal you personally feel it is. It is their home arena thus making it a landmark for the company. It is special to the company as it should be.

They didn’t promote everybody’s first time there because A) not everybody is as big of a deal as Punk, B) most of their stars have been there from the get-go, C) others likely made their actual debut there, D) Others haven’t been away from wrestling for 7 years making their first appearance less special... I could go on...

They don’t promote his first time in every arena because... once again... every arena... is not their home arena.

I’m sorry I called this a gimmick. I was hoping you’d take the chance to blow it off as a joke. Bashing Tony for promoting CM Punk’s first appearance in AEW’s home arena is the nitpicky reach to end all nitpicky reaches though.

[xrodmuc316]

Are you assuming because they haven't done it yet that means they never will? Do you think they should just throw every insult out there at each other at one time?

They won't because 1, Phil's ego is too fragile, and 2, it would just bury Phil on air. That is the point though, logically if they are going to "shoot", they would have to bring that up. It is exactly why Phil doing shoots is a bad idea, because it is instantly loses all credibility when the other guy doesn't say "Mike Jackson tickled you".

Just because it is their home arena and special to them, doesn't make it special. Playing a baseball game at Globe Life Field is not the same thing as playing a baseball game at Fenway Park, no matted how much the Texas Rangers like their home field.

[#1-norm-fan]

It was AEW! Promoting an AEW show! To AEW fans! It literally only matters that it’s a special arena for AEW. You not thinking it’s special therefore AEW shouldn’t promote it as such despite its significance to the company is ridiculous! Lol

[#1-norm-fan]

They often promote players debuting on the team’s home field in sports. Usually even with more effort than was put into Punk’s Daily’s Place promotion. Does that send you into a tizzy?

I said nothing about a baseball player, just that playing at Fenway means something because of it's lore, while a brand new place does not.

That said, I have NEVER seen a tweet or promotional tact of "Come see Baseball Player X play his very first game at this brand new 2 year old ballpark!"

That is the first result from WWE.com when I search using your suggestion, “first appearance at Full Sail”.

Is this how it's going to be for the rest of time? Damn...

It was silly to give top billing to CM Punk's first appearance at Daily's Place. No matter how many "but them did it" is going to change my opinion.

Listen, maybe there’s a huge conspiracy going on to give us results in different orders or maybe different areas of the world present Google results in different orders. Who knows.

Let’s not get sidetracked though. The screenshot I posted is a thing that happened.

Let’s not let Noid’s retardation break the flow of conversation here....

And yes, I will give this to you, WWE did promote Jordan Devlin's first appearance at Full Sail, you have me 100% on that. I would also just like to point out he did just win a championship, he wasn't just there for the first time. It is a Nuance, but it was for no reason, it was to promote a new champion. I am also sure it did not get top billing, fyi.

[#1-norm-fan]

So ultimately your problem is less the promotion and more the fact that it happened in the first box here.

There really is no point arguing with NoidRod.

A millions an awesome number btw.

Top billing makes it more ridiculous, but no. CM Punk's first time in Daily's Place is the issue. It is not an important event. Just promote it as "we hear from CM Punk" like they have all the other times.

[Sting Fan]

Of all the dumb shit in wrestling this is the hill we’re dying on. Amazing.

OK

You know what grinds my gears? The stupid naming convention AEW has in place for their YouTube videos. That's worth discussion :smgdh:

[xrodmuc316]

OK

Look at all the other arenas AEW promoted Punk at! :rofl:

Lol, and no wonder he doesn’t draw any money anymore. How many times can you promote a guy speaking? Sure, Punk can talk, but find a new angle.

[XL]

They should have promoted it as “Punk verbally eviscerates MJF at Daily’s Place”. Would have made it far more acceptable.

THERE’S TENSION BREWING!

I don’t know why, but this made me think of “I want to have bestiality sex with your wife!” That unique verbiage, perhaps?

[xrodmuc316]

Why would they promote something that was never going to happen?

That is of your creation. Punk Talks is stale as hell at this point, but that was not the point. The point was AEW clearly loves promoting Punk Talks, why not do that again per usual SOP.

I need to listen to you earlier, drave.

Indeed. Often are the words of the wise unheeded.

It’s always going to be a case of if WWE does it then it’s stupid; if someone else does it, that’s how you promote. With some people. If they cannot see the difference between “And we’re going to hear from CM Punk!” and reporting on an event and “Our main feature?! CM Punk is going to make his Daily’s Place debut next week!” there’s no point in trying to get them to see the argument. They’ve made up their mind about what they are going to think.

It’s not even like you made the biggest deal out of it. Just another case of this promotion being a little out of whack and amusing. Not a sky is falling moment. But I bet there is a certain guy that is trying to make out YOU made a mountain out of it, and everything you say is just plain ridiculous because you made such a big deal out of something so little.

[Fignuts]

His post shouldn't have even warranted a response, but the fish have really been biting lately.

[Jordan]

Guys please stop talking about CM Punk/Daily's Place promotion you're being very annoying.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yes, please. I stopped shaming xrod about this blunder days ago per drave’s advice. It’s time the rest of you stop now.

I really didnt lol. Tony tweeted some meaningless statistics about how X amount of Dynamites took place at Daily's Place, not because of lockdowns and the pandemic, no mention of that, but because "yay Daily's Place". I said he shouldn't be bragging about how many Dynamites took place there, because of the reason for it.

People disliked that, how dare I not celebrate the amazing 3 year history of Daily's Place. I tried to answer, I had said it was not a place with an aura or lore, that it is not the Toyko Dome or MSG. It is certainly not a place worthy of Top Billing Promoting a wrestler being there for the first time, because again it is a random building they were forced to use because of Covid.

That was the end of it for a week, until the next Dynamite thread here, when I commented on Phil giving yet another " Fed Bad" promo, and got accused of a few weird things like being happy Fenix got hurt and not really thinking Tony Khan was a jackass. Eventually Fan decided why not bring up my lack of loving the specialness of Daily's Place again, and here we are...

I'm sensing some strong tension here. Is the Heartbreak King attempting to infiltrate the trousers of the King??
