When is Rashomon 2: Brawl Out dropping on Bleacher Report app? The latest: Parekh being a witness is key and a good thing. Hopefully the investigation doesn't last long and they can begin to move on. Best case scenario is the one talent's take. Get over it, make money, elevate youngsters. I still think it's unlikely we see Punk again though. Maybe 6-8 months will help if he's still employed.

I liked Meltzer's point in finding medium in listening to older generations in that some of the stuff they say will be outdated and not applicable, but some will be valuable and should be taken on. It's why the Regal line about not interacting with Page was interesting. If you can't find even something small to take away from Regal, you aren't the bright mind you think yourself to be.

Why does Tony Khan always make it painfully obvious who is winning his tournaments with angles at the start of them?
-
Kingston or bust. Have him win a battle royal. Arthur Ashe would be just as hot for that as they were for Omega and Danielson.
-
Fuck. That sucks. Whole scoop from Fightful.
-
I am really worried the match is spoiled by weird crowd atmosphere.
-
Other bright side, for those of us who didn't love the aew game cover we could get a new one.
-
After the initial bump, it didn't seem like Punk or Danielson made a huge impact on the TV ratings. He's a familiar face though and helped move tickets.
-
The bright side of Punk leaving would be it opens up a gigantic hole for guys like Miro and company.
-
Brutal, massive L if Punk is fired or quits. How do you even run a show in Chicago after that? How is it unclear who started the fight? In what world can you publicly say the things Punk said and there not be some confrontation?
-
Tuchel seems to start off well and then burn bridges.
-
I mean MJF and Caster will likely say something. Cranky Jericho and Mox may make a comment about it as well having to come in on their week off.
-
Nah I don't think that should happen.
-
What is the end game with Sting and Darby? They keep winning.
-
A friend told me that story from Cody's appearance on jericho's show and I couldn't believe it. Who comes out and calls themself the locker room leader?! Did he get a little tin star to put on his chest too? Lmao. Booker's reaction was perfect.
-
Swerve had a performance of a lifetime in that match. He drove the drama before the match and turned up the heat during. The slip off the second rope felt organic but if the point of the match was to make Bowens a super sympathetic face in peril, it had to have been planned, right? Omg is it a wherk or a shoot?! SRS save me!
-
It's really not hard to see Punk's arrival either directly or indirectly leading to Cabana leaving the promotion. You really don't need leaks to put 2 and 2 together there. Pretty sure everybody here was thinking it could be a possibility. Think it was the Bucks that got him the ROH gig after the fact.
-
Yeah but even when you do pull the trigger it often doesn't work. That was one crowd that was super into them. Who knows how other cities feel? Seemed like magic and if he's running back a rematch I imagine the Acclaimed are going to win.
-
How do you not take any action after you suspended Kingston for pie facing Guevara recently? Yeah, you got to fill Arthur Ashe but that would be brutal. Punk already showed zero respect for his employer for putting him in an incredibly awkward situation. If Khan asks him to move on, you think worked up Punk listens? If Khan shuts the scrum down you don't think Punk would just keep ranting off stream to the journalists? Sapp, Meltzer, and Alvarez have all denied Elite guys leaking the Cabana rumours to them specifically and I believe Sapp was the one that broke that story. Maybe they were the ones that threw it out there among talent but they didn't leak it to those three.
-
Man, fuck you.
-
Latest from Fightful. More we hear, the likelier it sounds to me that Punk is done. Re: Fish, he filmed himself giving groceries to a homeless person to put himself over. That is scumbag material and a huge red flag so nothing surprised me after that.
-
There is zero chance Steel doesn't get punished, so I guess this all leads to nothing but Punk fucking off. Lmao, great.
-
Fightful sharing what WWE talent have to say. Interesting stuff and less the Nelson Muntz response I was expecting: So they are saying they've heard (presumably from friends in aew) that it is not a work. They're right for calling out Khan for not stepping in but I get the feeling he doesn't want to offend Punk-sama and risk things getting awkward in the public eye. 100% agree with the last statement too. This could be something that brings AEW to the next level I was just saying was likely impossible.
-
Wild sentence to read.
-
If I'm Khan, I'm immediately pivoting to Punk and company vs. The Elite. They gotta do whatever they're doing w MJF ASAP before this dies down. Grand Slam is the 21st. That feels like an eternity, which is why these worked shoots or harnessing shoots into works is tough with twitter. It'll be old news by then.
