And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Spears has been booked like poo poo since the initial chair shot and loss to Cody. He and Tully didn't fit well together and he spent most of 2020 wearing that stupid loaded glove. He's really found his niche after visiting the chair dimension and his double act with Wardlow though. A proper match and not a squash against Punk probably would have been better.

Yeah I agree with this. He gave an awesome setup promo and then they made him look like a joke. Yeah of course he was going to lose but he should've gotten at least a little offense in.

Sometimes supporting characters on a TV show should look like a joke. It’s a fun story beat and Punk is supposed to be one of the best guys in the company; not everybody needs to look super credible at all times.

Yeah, it didn't really kill any of the appeal of Spears. I want him on TV being a funny jobber and hitting people with chairs and making his cum face. Being beat by CM Punk like that doesn't hurt any of the things that make him entertaining.

Punk needing like 20 minutes to beat every prelim jabroni for months and then just killing Spears in seconds is extremely funny

It also serves the Wardlow face-turn angle, implying that at this point, he's too good for The Pinnacle. Right now MJF's running scared while Punk's beaten FTR, and just made Spears look like a complete chump. Wardlow, meanwhile, pretty much had him beat, and only lost because of MJF sticking his dick into the match.

It really does put Wardlow over huge through transitive power level properties. I didn't even think of that detail but it's a good point.

It also makes QT Marshall look great by that logic.

Like, I don't disagree that it works for the MJF feud at the moment, but it does highlight that Punk struggling against undercard guys was probably a misstep.

Eh, I'm fine with the take that he was knocking 7 years of rust off in his earlier bouts, and now he's gotten back in the saddle.

It's also not unheard of to hit someone with a surprise finisher right off the bat. It came off to me more like Spears was caught off guard, not squashed because he sucks.

For those who don't pay attention to Brian Cage since he's the worst Brian and worst Cage in AEW, he is sitting out his contract, isn't injured and didn't request his release.

AEW has too many performers who come across as winners and stars. I'd prefer 50/50 booking where everyone seems like a geek who's lucky to have a job.

While 50/50 booking and the like is dumb, undefeated streaks don't mean as much when 10 people on your roster have them going.
