Punk being a bigger draw is relevant because it shows what could hypothetically be possible under good management, versus what is just not possible at all. That’s the source of all this Punk/Elite heat. Punk has proven that you can get 1 million viewers late Friday night. The narrative was supposed to be that the fuckabout gang was doing the best it’s possible for anyone in their slot to do. False.
It doesn’t matter if AEW has CM Punk, gets Goldberg, gets Steve Austin — that’s where it becomes irrelevant, because the product is largely a joke outside the star power. That’s on Tony.
