If there is anything you can trust in AEW, it's Maxwell Jacob Freidman being able to promo his way around this mess and put the spotlight squarely back on himself when all is said and done. The moment might have been spoiled, but I personally believe he can make himself the story again. Probably using the scrum aftermath in his promo.

MJF is good, but what was the point in keeping him off TV? Unless he was just sorting shit out. But why not use the Wardlow thing as the write-off?

Why have press conferences after Wrestling PPV’s? Just seems like a bad idea.

Maybe it was a combination of him being a little banged up, Punk getting injured and his last promo going off script?

I hate them. I want wrestling to be in kayfabe as much as possible. These press conferences are just too much shop talk for me. I get that some people are going to love that, and you don’t have to watch them, but eh. There’s a reason MJF works so much better than just about anyone else in wrestling, and it’s because he treats his craft with sincerity.

While I enjoy the influx of information, I totally agree. They are trying to be like NJPW except there they don't break kayfabe and talk about booking plans and decisions and the psychology of the booker leading up to making decisions.

Gonna laugh when Punk holds the title hostage and insists he goes over MJF, Omega, Hangman or whoever and refuses to work otherwise.

Punk also took quotes from a Hangman seminar hilariously out of context. In that seminar, Hangman admitted that he isn't the best at taking advice, that he listens and appreciates the help but prefers a trial and error approach to his character and that's always been what he finds works best for him. Mind you he said all of this in a pretty meek way, and while he was already World champion.
Punk acted like Hangman was on some shoot rant taking a giant dump on the veteran minds in the locker room. "This fucking piece of shit dumbfuck Adam Page thinks he's too good to take advice with all the minds we have back here? Get the fuck out of here!" |

There's a thought that Punk might be hurt and might've torn his pec in the fight. Lmfao

I still think he’s worth it.
It’s possible he might not be able to physically do it anymore since he’s getting hurt a lot, but he’s such a good talker. I thought his whole “shoot promo” was riveting. I’d keep him no matter what. |

I also love how the story has changed as more info gets out. It went from Punk knocking out a Young Buck (impossible for Punk) to it was actually Ace Steele throwing a chair at Nick Jackson, and that, not a Phil fist, it why his face is marked up. Bischoff was right, Phil really truly believes that because he wins fake fights he can win real ones. |

Thing is he’s useless as just a mouth piece for them. If he’s hurt again, he should forfeit the title and they should just move forward without him. Maybe he comes back again but at this point he’s a liability who’s just ruining storylines because he can’t stay healthy

Yeah if he's hurt again they gotta stop pushing him at the very least. Kinda curious what they do with the title this time if it's true though.

I like watching Punk and I don't like watching the Young Bucks so my solution is to fire the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Michael Nakazawa and to keep Brandon Cutler bc Cutler is entertaining.
Problem solved. |

If Punk actually walks, that’s surely the end of the line for him in wrestling unless he wants to go have fun with Freddie Prinze Jr. or something.
If the Elite walked I think they’d definitely get WWE offers. I mean they already got offers back when WWE were in their “sign everyone” stage and while they turned them down, I don’t sense Triple H felt slighted by it given what happened. I suspect Triple H would genuinely welcome Omega on WWE programming. Less so the Bucks but I think he’d give them a short-term deal just for the flex of knowing he got all of their EVPs. |

If he’s hurt again just take the title off of him and use him in a part-timer role. It’s a good excuse to make his matches feel more special. Kinda like they should have done early on.

Can see MJF trying to cash in on Punk, they say Punk is hurt and isn't cleared and MJF insists Punk forfeit and hand him the title or he'll walk again.
Then punk comes back in 9 months and resumes feud with MJF, probably at a show conveniently held in Chicago. |
