The Elite or Punk

Voted Punk and Omega.

I think if you take the Bucks away from Kenny he's no longer part of the trouble making crowd. The Bucks just want to do their own thing, play wresting with their buddies and ignore what's actually good for business which is Punk/FTR vs. The Elite. If you can't put the business you supposedly founded before your own ego you can fuck right off.

Punk draws. Plain and simple. People will consume the product just for him so he has high value. You need that if you're AEW. You can't afford to do what WWE was doing for a while and just letting quality talent and "needle movers" walk out the door.

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.
