Feel like he should just murder this little dude as badly as Jade Cargill destroyed that other jobber....

Sting, Darbi, CM Punk, Omega, etc.
Maybe CM Punk just wanted to be around a lot of non druggies. Pepsi still sucks |

Fun little show, but nothing much to "sell" people on watching the show if they tuned in for CM Punk....

Ok, I said I would believe CM Punk was in AEW when I saw it. And I saw it. So, they got a big payoff right.
So, this leads me to my next question: Now what? I mean, can they really hold off on Punk vs. Omega without risking drowning Punk out in the sea of other guys they're signing, like they've pretty much done with Andrade? That is what I am most curious about. |

G'day Noidamaniacs and salutations to my Noidanators. I came thrice in my tighty-whities while watching the glorious return of CM Punk. AEW #1 MATCH FIVE STAR!

Punk said in the post show media scrum that he’d been talking to Tony Khan for a year and a half or so and has pretty much known since early 2020 that he wanted to return to wrestling. And that it would’ve happened a lot sooner if not for COVID as he didn’t want to return in front of empty arenas or restricted capacity crowds.

Also Punk said he’d be willing to go to NJPW to do the G1 if Tony wants him to

Have to admit.... I've watched that entrance a few times now, and the promo twice....
There is something special going on here now.... let's hope that Punk can actually deliver on more than just the mic, and that AEW can manage to put on some good shows to really hook people in.... Dunno... I literally just posted how nothing would get me excited to watch rassling again, but now I'm thinking I might check it out on Wednesday.... between Punk/Christian/Jericho.... feel like there's enough... though I dunno if Jericho will be on Wednesday... probably "not smart" to write him off at this "important juncture".... |

The entire arena on the outside was lit up with CM Punk's colors and logo. Really cool.

I was at MITB 2011. I never have to see another wrestling show after that. Tonight lit a small spark. Nothing will ever be that night but I'll give AEW my time and money because they are the best chance of being able to replicate that formula.

Respect to Punk for doing the “shit on WWE” thing but making it sound genuine and not forced/corny as fuck like it tends to be.

Curious to see what Dynamite's ratings will be like next week... might not raise at all via people only tuning for Punk and tuning out immediately after.... or just not watching at all and just waiting for the YouTube clip....

Speaking of YouTube.... the clips of Punk's entrance and promo both have 2.1 million views.... didn't scroll that far down their videos list but seems like nothing else is even close to that

I just love the simplicity of it all. We've all had our brains broken by WWE for so long, and to a lesser extent by TNA and how they dealt with ex-WWE signings, that there was fantasy booking about whether they'd tease Punk and have a heel come out, or whether he'd get jumped by someone during his promo, or whatever.
It turns out that wrestling can just give audiences what they want and let them be happy. It also turns out that wrestling is much better when it doesn't treat its audience with contempt. |

You know what isn't going to convince new/old fans to stick around? Orange Cassidy being treated seriously.
