Well I think the main core of AEW's audience, particularly ones likely to shell out for tickets, are still firmly behind the EVPs since they are "neckbeards" or whatever, so to them Punk would be the heel
|
I think they'll like whoever cuts the better face promos IMO. If Punk wants to cut face promos, they'll be on his side because he's much better on the mic than all of them.
|
I just saw the clip so I don’t know if there was more said but… do we know exactly why he’s pissed at them other than a vague reference to them spreading rumors to the wrestling media?
|
Either way, it feels like a good time to reiterate that The Young Bucks suck ass.
|
No way #1-norm-fan! The Bucks of Youth are legends! That six man last night was a goddamn stunner. Eat chalk and drink old yogurt if that is what you really think.
|
The Young Bucks are to wrestling what old yogurt is to wrestling.
|
The funny thing about Punk blaming the EVPs over the Cabana stuff getting out is that SRS was the first guy to break the story about the locker room having the perception that Punk got him demoted....and he's flat out said the EVPs weren't his source for it.
|
Just watching the full media scrum now. Punk’s reaction every time MJF is mentioned is great. This is where Tony’s awkwardness is a benefit. Lol
|
AEW had the whole "big happy family" vibe from the beginning of the company right on through the Daily's Place residency. The fact that the entire company kept Brodie Lee's illness a secret right up into his passing was a hell of a statement. Even friggin' Cornette gave props to the company for that one since wrestlers are notorious for not being able to keep a secret.
But I don't know why parts of the AEW fanbase desperately cling to the idea that that's still the vibe and that everything is sunshine and rainbows. Between getting back on the road, expanding the roster, having a lot more personalities to manage and the fact that most of these guys have egos because, hello, it's wrestling...there were always going to be backstage problems eventually. |
I think I'm pretty much done with AEW for awhile. The booking is insane. All the "works" and "shoots". It's just dumb at this point. Punk beating Mox was dumb. If that was the end game they should have just not had the first match.
Been so hyped for MJF to come back and the way they do it is the dumbest shit ever. Stokely and a bunch of jobbers come out and take the chip and hand it to masked man that is clearly MJF just so he can reveal himself later in the same show...but not actually do anything? There is no longer any edge to the angle, no wondering if MJF is legit pissed or not because he's wearing a mask, has a mouth piece he doesn't need, and a bunch of schmucks to tag along. EVPs win again, shocker, everyone knew that was coming for over a year before these titles were even announced. Such good booking everyone saw it happening before there was any motion at all on the whole angle lol. And now what? Immediately into a hur dur work shoot program with Punk? I have no interest in watching that feud. Danielson lost clean to Jericho. Does anything else even need to be said about that? I just can't. |

It's time for people like you, Danielson, FTR and Cody to realize that the EVP's are the true heart and soul of AEW. The EVP's are The Bucks of Youth and Kenneth Omega. They are the energy source in which this world revolves around. It's time for people like Seph and Danielson to realize the only reason AEW is in existence is because of Jericho and it's time that Danielson learned his place against Jericho and now stands below him on the rankings and in the annals of pro wrestling history with and 0-2 record. |
Seph I just ask that if you are really done with AEW and aren't going to watch it fine but can you at least just turn on one of your TV's to TBS when AEW comes on so that we don't lose your ratings! Thankyee! /Tony Khan and the AEW family and fans!

I actually like MJF and Stoke together. They've worked together before and have a good dynamic. MJF can handle his own promos and doesn't need Stoke to talk for him, but I can definitely buy why MJF the character would hire an agent to deal with shit he doesn't feel like dealing with anymore.
Far less keen on the idea of him having another stable though. He already had one. Doesn't need another one. Would prefer if Stoke just manages all of his clients separately and maybe this was the one and only time he "rallied the troops" together for a common goal. MJF doesn't need henchmen especially since the crowd will invariably be turning him face. |
The problem with worked shoots is usually they’re done by saying “All that other shit is fake wrestling bullshit but THIS is real!”
I don’t mind as long as it’s just building the idea that there’s real backstage tension. If/when these guys meet up, if you believe they actually don’t like each other, of course they’re not gonna convince you that THIS time the match is real but it adds another layer to the drama. Just don’t go full Russo basically. |
MJF does need the henchmen though because long term story telling in AEW has dictated that MJF can not win a match on his own.
|
And, you know, instead of building him up as a disgruntled employee with something to prove, they just hotshotted him right into the title picture.
I can't take that seriously. MJF has won like....1 match in the last year and a half maybe and it wasn't clean. He is not a credible challenger atm. Well, maybe he is credible considering who the champ is. |
If anyone is on the fence about the Bucks being douchebags, tell me why they were spending this ppv winning the stupid fucking trios titles and not fighting FTR as AEW champs for all the gold.

There’s a rumor going around that Punk dusted up both of The Bucks backstage and you can see it on their faces today. You can go on about Punk’s credibility, but what does it say about you if you and your brother get beaten up by him?
No benefit to this being a work. It doesn’t make any match more anticipated. As soon as they get in the ring in front of the camera, it all dissolves. The same with MJF. He’s just…back now. This is most likely just someone with a bit of sway calling the schemers out as their boss just sits there and nods along in agreement. The boss that gave them power in the first place. |

There is no way it is a work. He made Adam Page look like the stupidest, most naive dickhead in the locker room. No one is dumb enough to book something like that.
Punk would be doing the company a favor if he got rid of the Young Bucks. Everything about them is awful, and the EVPs clearly can’t take anyone coming in and being a bigger deal than they are. Time to break them up and get in some proper bookers. |

It’s good to see the crows finally come home to roost for The Bucks and Omega. Fuck those guys. This isn’t new shit about them getting leaked. They clearly have no clue what they are doing in their roles either. What qualified them? It’s funny to see TK just nodding along as they get torn down. But hey, I’m in camp “Fuck AEW” so I don’t mind seeing the thing burn. It’s what they sowed. |
Just here to state the obvious and that Punk is a wrestling god.

I know this is an insane concept but I like when it seems like wrestlers actually hate each other and aren’t just “playing mean” with their BFF’s.

Bucks would be light work for Punk.
|
Lmao the only thing he's beating 95% of is his meat.
|
Also ace was involved in the backstage fight. Punk was not alone.
|
Weren't punk's fights against guys well above his skill class?
Ask Yuji Nagata how that goes. |

This is not Hyperbole, he would not win a fight against either Buck or anybody else. Maybe he scratched them during a pull apart melee, but that is not the same as him having a chance in Hell at beating up professional Acrobats in a fight. They are way too athletic for him to have a shot. |

Enjoyed the show save for the FTR/Wardlow vs Lethal/MCMG. Really seemed to suck the air outta the room.
|
Being kicked in the nuts is hardly a clean loss, but Danielson should've gone over Jericho.
|
Someone in Chicago go get a pic with the Bucks, I'm sure there's some fan convention or something, and look for bruises lol
