TimLivingston Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 For what it’s worth, Punk gets triggered by the backstage bullshit and the Bucks are notoriously fickle about being knocked down a peg or two so this is a match made in heaven far as I’m concerned. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean now that Marko Stunt is gone anyway. Hager? Joe? Would Joe be on team Punk? They have previous for dealing with Teddy Hart’s backstage tomfoolery.

HarryArchieGus Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Goddamn 'Alex Reynolds' chant! He and Silver stepped it up on the big stage. Trios Title Match was not surprisingly fucking beautiful! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think when Punk came back he suggested Danielson would be a hypothetical partner for a dream match vs the Bucks. But you just know Regal is off somewhere minding his own business thinking these knuckleheads aren't tarnishing any of his dudes with their bullshit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Man I'm still laughing at the idea that this guy has to imagine a scenario where he has to defend the honor of Terry Funk from Adam Page like some Don Quixote shit. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Punk-Danielson-Joe-Low Ki-Nigel era of ROH > Bullet Club era of ROH/PWG. I am now into time based tribalism. Maybe Punk beat everyone up backstage. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madl Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 For me, the line of the night was Punk saying “if you have a problem with me, take it up with me in the hallway” - while he was, y’know bitching about dudes who weren’t in the room to defend themselves, but probably had seen Punk in the hallway not five minutes earlier (not Cabana, obviously). Also, apparently the Page stuff stems from something Page said - in character - during the buildup to their title match. Meltzer thinks Mr. Deal-With-Me-Directly went home and stewed about it for three months, then went off script the first time he got a live mic in his hand. i can believe Punk didn’t ask Tony Khan to fire Cabana using those words. I also would not be surprised if most people in the company realized Punk still hates Cabana and probably wanted him gone and wouldn’t be happy if Colt stayed around. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafkonia Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I don't care if it's a work or a shoot. I don't care if it's a shirt I can buy on Woot. I am not interested and it makes the whole company look unprofessional. Between that and some of the booking decisions last night I think I'll just return to the Dark and Elevation corner of the internet and pretend the rest of the company doesn't exist for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Punk is Hitman, i am to make of it that The Elite are the new Kliq? I mean, they do the whole Kliq schtick. When you phrase it that way, it really seems like trying to do a whole modern worked shoot update on 1996 WWE politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Re: the elite being nu kliq... they're the good guys this time. Fight me if u disagree. What is Omega's contract status? Isn't he a free agent in January? And the Bucks re-upped last year long term. I am sure he'd like to stay with them but I could see him peacing out if this gets worse before it gets better. I watch where he goes. I'd still watch aew but certainly not like I do now if Omega is elsewhere. Edited September 5, 2022 by Jiji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 If it is a big constructed work, I hope they make money. I don't see how it would draw in any new fans besides internet wrestling fans that aren't already watching AEW. It's crazy that WWE has what people would consider one of their biggest changes with Vince resigning and the negative press and the internal regime changes and their business hasn't declined. I don't think either company is doing anything that will bring in new fans, atleast right now. If anything with Hunter seemingly truly in charge of creative and bringing in talent, WWE would be way more appealing to most AEW talent if they feel unhappy. If it's all work, I don't think you want to create the perception of an unhappy locker room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
