I actually like Punk the wrestler, even if I think he is massively overrated for the past 20 + years and not worth the praise lauded to him. I enjoyed STarks/Punk, like the CMFTR pairing. I just think he comes across as a POS person and for all of his "Fuck Hogan" shit, he acts like him. It just doesn't make sense to me that you have a title holder in ROH dropping the fall twice to him when in my opinion, it's obvious that Joe is far superior in ring. For everyone that says ROH is faltering, doesn't mean much, having a title holder dropping falls to him once is bad enough, but twice, eh. Just my opinion.

I might in the minority, but i don't think there is any scenario that Joe should drop the fall to Punk twice in a row.

I realize it is a terrible movie, but I admit I have a soft spot in my heart for Ready to Rumble.

I think Hangman and Omega are more integral to the future of AEW than the Bucks and out of the 4, losing Page would've been a genuine blow. But I'm biased as hell because I'm a huge Hangman fan(Hangman/Mox is my favorite match of the year still and their feud is/was incredible to me)

On a random side note, someone posted the GIF of the Gunn Club/Juice Robinson entrance and Juice just looks wild as shit. I've been searching through the threads and can't find it. Would someone out of the kindness of their hearts re-post that here?

I'm excited Hangman and Omega are back. I still don't understand where I stand with the Bucks. Hangman/Omega v The Bucks and Lucha Bros v Bucks cage match are two of my favorite all time AEW matches, yet i don't clamor for Bucks matches or angles, or really care about them as characters.

I'm not a fan of the Bucks, but I enjoy the narrative they won't work with Punk because he's the one screeching loudest about it while they just keep their mouths shut.

I agree with you completely, I'm trying to get around my disdain for Punk because I honestly really enjoy Collision, but it bothers me that despite the trope being right there, he's put himself into a title picture and it's just lame(to me anyway) that he's calling himself the real champ without even a mention from MJF.

I will say one thing, I will rescind a good bit of my Punk disdain if he drops another fall to Starks next week.

Twisted Metal was absolutely phenomenal and

No, I hate Punk with the burning fire of a thousand suns, lol, but it completely chumps your actual champ when he says nothing, especially to a guy who "left him bloody". Its lame booking and makes MJF look weak. At least Starks is getting a deserved spotlight out of this, but no one doubts that Punk is getting his win(s) back

Great main event and my feelings on Punk aside, doesn't it mean your actual champ look like a chump if a guy is out there saying he's the real champ and you're backstage? (Didn't take that guy long to glom onto a title scene did it?)

Delusions of Grandeur

I really wish it wasn't so obvious we're heading towards Punk/MJF 3.

I agree with this 80%, but I think Hangman is a great death match wrestler. One thing I noticed, that for the announcers saying that Hangman/Mox was the center of this feud....they really didn't focus too much on them interacting at all.

As much as I enjoy the MJF/Cole pairing, I really want to see FTR v Cage/Big Bill.

I couldn't agree more. On the surface, he seems to be doing extremely well with his demons and it bothers the shit out of me when "fans" (mostly Cornette parrots") continue to refer to him as the "Drug addicted bank robber"

How does someone working a GCW show mean "so much for sobriety"? Seems short sighted to say something like that when none of us have any idea his support system, etc.

While I'm far from an expert on GCW, it seems that the buzz around them has been slowly dwindling since Gage/Cardona/Mox were at the top for the title.

I knew next to nothing about Juice Robinson before this AEW run. He is f'n awesome.

Wow. Just fucking wow.

For what his niche is? Absolutely.

Natural, to be perfectly honest, I've only seen Red Hood and Mask of the Phantasm. I'm going to check MAX tonight and see if these others are on there and report back, thanks for the rec's

It certainly would've put the TNT title on a far better trajectory than whatever the Scorpio Sky/Guevara nonsense was, and I'm a fan of Scorpio getting a title run outside of the tag

The only loss I truly disagree with here was him and Mox losing to the Bucks....They 100% should've had a tag title run. Hindsight booking, I would've had Eddie go over Miro for the TNT title, freeing Miro up to be the Monster heel challenger to Hangman(winning the belt from him as opposed to CM Punk), and then you could've segued the whole House of Black/Miro feud into Malakai Black taking the title off of Miro. That's my fantasy booking for the day.
