TheVileOne Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I mean this was a major question when CM Punk signed with AEW. Punk said himself, "I don't have a problem with anyone in that locker room." Did he mean in the locker room that night or just AEW in general? And now here we are a year later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's got the updated injury list? Wasn't Mercedes out with the UE guys and couple others. I thinking that's why the ROH Women's champ has also been offscreen?

TheVileOne Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I mean if this is the idea of the new AEW, and it's all going to be shoot works, it can't work if it's only CM Punk being the one who gets to make the pipebomb shooter comments. It's not sustainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I kind of read it as colts contract expired and he wasn’t being used so he wasn’t going to be re signed, and then his popularity got him one of those special roh deals even though there’s no guaranteed future for that. If I’m wrong I’m wrong but I thought there wasn’t any word that he was let go or fired. I also can't understand how Tony (if it was his call) didn't understand how not renewing Colt's deal could open up a really bad can of worms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Yeah I'm somehow still awake too. But it's not just all this HOT GOSS, it's because I'm also coming up with concepts like Danhausen either pissing off or scaring Penta that he brings back The Master... VAMPIRO. But then there are also thoughts like HHH sitting home with Steph laughing and saying "I told you he was always like that! Wasn't he? I mean I know you weren't around him much but really!" And then Vince the next couch over chortling over his scotch "Welcome to the big leagues kid! This is why I always kept 'em under a very big heel." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A show in July and in between then, they run all their ROH angles and TV matches ON AEW PROGRAMMING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just imagine if Dynamite was on Monday like Raw and Tony had less than 24 hours to put out this dumpster fire. Vince didn't have to deal with bad shit in the '80s while having us breathe down his neck like this. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s like a special way of signing someone you want to pay and keep around and they are just kind of floating there though. Like cabana got a special deal here, he wasn’t being used on dynamite or rampage but he’s still getting paid and roh may not become a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to Cabana, but isn't that like flushing money down the toilet? You're going to pay a guy six figures maybe just to stay at home and or just chat with people backstage but tell him to steer clear of CM Punk? And then maybe wrestle on one show every few months?

Curt McGirt Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Here's my final thought (fuck you Jerry): Think of this as your job. If you walked in and pulled this shit you'd probably be outright fired. But Punk is in all likelihood gonna stay and even have marquee matches because of the heat he created. He may have Tony under his thumb in a way. Or something extremely fucky could happen, in any direction. Pipebomb, shit dude, I guess you never cared after all. In any other age you'd be out in PR with Eddie Gilbert or doing landscaping with Eddie Mansfield.

If you can't figure out how to use someone as talented and popular as Colt (don't forget him being a pioneer in the whole indy merch selling that earns you a nice living thing as well) that's a problem on you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
