He's an idiot?

6000+ fans in Chicago mind you, actively shitting on Punk and going crazy for the whole troll job. Can't say I expected to see that but that's wrestling.

Looking at the reaction in Chicago tonight....Looks like the footage helped Jack Perry. So what do I know...

Some people are going to roll their eyes at this but another Willow match to watch is her match with Mercedes Mone'! Yes, the match that Mercedes was injured in. It's about 13 minutes or so. They were cookin until the ankle injury.

Isn't Ospreay quite a bit BIGGER than Rollins? I'm not sure on their heights but Rollins looks skinner to me by a wide margin.

And for the record, WCW 2000 wasn't having great matches on the level of AEW. These two are not the same no matter how many weirdo online posters try to say it is.

Isn't that a bit hyperbolic? It was trash but at the same time 'Dynasty' is 2 weeks away and I expect there to be several great matches. The online discourse will revert back to the old "yeah they're having great matches but WHAT ELSE!" Etc...

So... anyway... The 'Dynasty' card looks really stacked. At least when the TV is meh you can still count on AEW to deliver on PPV most of the time.

He looks younger. I thought he was like 23.

Yeah, not that I think Jungle Boy is a badass or anything but Punk certainly DOES think that he is a bad ass and he's out here sucker punching kids in the back. Not a great look.

Also, Will Ospreay. I'm not mad at him going at Triple H in that promo. Obviously Triple H is perturbed because any key free agent that hits the market, Tony Khan is paying them more money for less dates. So Hunter took shots at Ospreay over wanting to spend time with his family. It was a bit of a dick move by Hunter. Ospreay has a right to respond.

I'm not sure what that accomplished. I have to correct the person who said "why did Tony fear for his life over that?" because the story goes that Tony/Punk had a separate incident as well.. not just this one that was shown. But back to the footage. I wouldn't say it happened "exactly" the way Punk said. Punk implied in the interview that Jungle Boy "got too close" so he had to choke him or whatever. That didn't happen. Punk waited until Jungle Boy flung his hair back and then attempted to strike him. So does it show Punk is a liar? Maybe.. or at least only telling half truths. But what does it accomplish? Everyone knows Punk is an asshole and will likely exit WWE at some point after having an altercation. This didn't help AEW, Tony or Jungle Boy or anyone..

Bill Simmons knows basketball pretty well I'd say and seems to have a pretty good knowledge of....movies? Probably nothing on Sean Fennessey, though. That's all I got. It hurts to listen to him talk about anything else.

Shoemaker is a case of right place, right time. When I hear him talk about wrestling I would say to myself "there's a handful of guys on DVDVR who have better voices and are way more knowledgeable than this dude..." but it is what it is... I laugh when Simmons brings him on to talk history because he gets so many things wrong or just tries to bullshit his way through.

Just let Phil interview him. Not THAT Phil, our Phil. Put it on The Ringer. It'd be awesome.
