"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.
