At this point I can comfortably estimate that I have consumed over 500 hours of AEW content, and CM Punk still sucks :rofl::rofl::rofl:

GD 04-19-2023 06:00 PM

Shit! Punk's coming back :lol:

Justin Roberts will miss Dynamite tonight after reporting a positive COVID test, he’s staying home in isolation for a week.

That 90% of the comments to the tweet about it on Reddit are “who still tests for COVID?” just serve as a reminder why we live in hell.

Absolutely why it is still so rampant. We live in a time where in home entertainment is at an all time high, yet people couldnt stay home, wouldnt mask up, ignore social distancing, etc. It is the same people who would tweet stuff like that.

Dave said it so you know it's gospel.

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-21-2023 08:31 AM

Elite will DEF think it's gospel since Dave is their butt buddy.

#1-norm-fan 04-21-2023 10:06 AM

Buddy of the butt ONLY.

Sepholio 04-21-2023 11:40 AM

I wonder if Meltzer has gangbanged Riho

#1-norm-fan 04-21-2023 12:09 PM

Just him? I doubt it. I don’t even see how that’s technically possible. Unless you’re this guy..,

Mr. Nerfect 04-21-2023 04:22 PM

Anyone who thinks The Elite are more valuable to AEW than Punk is fucking nuts.

Not a needle mover tho

Frank Drebin 04-22-2023 08:55 AM

"But....but....he's never gotten anyone else over but himself."

*is integral in getting AEW $50 million just in TV contracts*

Nah, he doesn't get a dude here or there over. He gets entire feds over.

People have pointed out in other threads that Punk hasn't gotten anyone else over but himself. Ok, I'll give you that. The same was said about mega stars like Hogan and Cena. How quickly we forget that Punk's arrival catapulted AEW into "legit" status and made casual fans take notice. Yeah you had your Stings of the world but he's not really an active talent at this point. Let's say Punk never got anyone else over. Fine. How many other guys have gotten an entire wrestling promotion over? You can't just ignore the reaction to The First Dance and the fire that it lit for AEW at the time.

Waiting on Orange Cassidy to do the same. Any day now......

Hitting up Mindy's Bakery this weekend.

xrodmuc316 04-22-2023 11:04 AM

So if Punk doesn't come back, they aren't getting the show?
If Punk gets hurt again, is the show getting cancelled?
What if Punk went to WWE, is that why Warner wants to make a play for WWE?

I mean CLEARLY these options are all thanks to the worst UFC fighter of all time :rofl:

Sepholio 04-22-2023 12:07 PM

Its sad to see Drebin turning into a sheep on account of his old man dementia.

Evil Vito 04-22-2023 12:14 PM

Supposed seating chart for Wembley

https://i.redd.it/dlwsksoqxeva1.jpg

The stadium seats 90k for football in just the seats alone, based on this they have a little less than 2/3rds of the normal seating capacity open. Figure the seats themselves are around 50-55k and then the A-G seating around the ring probably takes it to 60k or so.

That would be a hell of a gate on its own. They could always add seats if tickets move quickly.

Will be interesting to see what happens when the sale starts.

xrod in shambles.

Surely this is a win for you? You can still hate-watch AEW but not have to have Punk and FTR Bald triggering you every 30 minutes.

FTR Bald has never triggered me, he just cries a lot.
Punk himself isn't even a trigger, I just find it impossible to suspend my disbelief that he is this super tough fighter who can beat everybody, because he can't. It is a disservice to any other wrestler who has to job to him, and an insult of people's intelligence who saw how inept he is at fighting.

Besides that, I surely won't be watching any Saturday show with any consistency, it will be Rampage part 2.

Mr. Nerfect 04-22-2023 05:32 PM

Punk has gotten plenty of people over. It’s absolute horseshit that he hasn’t. The guy makes you care about wh is working with him. I think some people here have personal issues with the guy, coloring his career.

Mr. Nerfect 04-22-2023 05:35 PM

Punk’s talented in the ring enough for me to suspend my disbelief that wrestling is a different “style” of fighting. I mean, I can’t buy The Bucks or Omega as fighters either. They’re just not good enough to cover it up. At least Punk’s got that much.

Mr. Nerfect 04-22-2023 06:19 PM

I mean, The Bucks actually did get whipped by Punk. Imagine how quickly they would go down in UFC.

Mr. Nerfect 04-22-2023 06:29 PM

I’m looking forward to the backstage chaos this Collision show causes.

Sepholio 04-22-2023 07:00 PM

I notice crickets from the people who were whining like little babies about WWE scheduling an event to go head to head with AEW now that AEW is apparently scheduling themselves against every single WWE PPV ever.

The point is valid but playing devil's advocate I'd say that as the big behemoth it would seem beneath WWE to try to undermine a fledgling AEW but its ok for the "plucky underdog" to use those tactics.

XL 04-23-2023 12:02 PM

Behemoth!? You’re not taking about WWE are you? Little mom-and-pop company WWE?

Fignuts 04-23-2023 02:05 PM

Jeff Hardy wants to end his career in AEW on an "extremely high note".

When is he not extremely high though?

Mr. Nerfect 04-23-2023 03:59 PM

Lol, were those his actual words?

Sepholio 04-23-2023 04:04 PM

yeah on Rampage lol

Sepholio 04-23-2023 04:05 PM

At this point I'm more worried about him getting extremely high and ending someone elses career.

Mr. Nerfect 04-23-2023 04:14 PM

I hope Jeff stays clean this time, but I’m about done with The Hardys. Jeff had something, but it really feels like he’s kind of done his last dash with how he left WWE and how quickly AEW went off the rails.

And the act just feels tremendously dated now even compared to 2017.

Jordan 04-23-2023 04:20 PM

How is AEW live attendance doing? Anyone got a good site for wrestling news these days?

They have to go out of the country to get their most attended show. They really are TNA 2.0 :rofl:

XL 04-24-2023 04:45 AM

Meanwhile WWE’s next three premium events are taking place in Puerto Rico, Saudia Arabia, and England.

What an odd thing to try and spin into a negative. AEW, the #1 viewed wrestling promotion in the UK, puts on a show in the UK. It’ll never work!
