I watched it Saturday morning and got goosebumps. That is what they talk about when they say there’s nothing like the thrill of a live crowd, that’s the thing that keeps these guys coming back for more (even when some of them shouldn’t). I’m taking everything as a genuine reaction from Punk; I imagine it could be quite overwhelming when you haven’t had that for 7 years - I can’t recall his UFC reactions but I’m sure that weren’t quite that!
I liked that he said all he needed to say about WWE without saying it. Lord knows we all know his feelings on his WWE run so why go over it again?
I put it on the TV last night to see my wife’s reaction. She literally said “WHAT!?” She had no idea what AEW was so I think she thought he’d returned to WWE which would explain the shock as she’s aware of the fallout. I got goosebumps again.
There’s some stuff about AEW I don’t like (one of your top prospects should not be taking that Canadian Destroyer as an example) but they’ve got me. They have 2 out of 3 of my Top 3 wrestlers of the last 20 years…and the third likely to debut in the next few weeks. I’m even looking at getting that Punk shirt. I spend £5 a month on wrestling (splitting WWE Network with a friend) and usually purchase the game every year (2K20 was the first year I haven’t bought the SmackDown/vs Raw/WWE game since the first one came out) so that’s a pretty big indicator of how far they’ve got my dial to turn.
