I was under the impression Punk burned the AEW bridge way back when with the whole "I don't do contracts over text" stuff.

I was one of the people that turned on him completely during that "feud" storyline with Rusev/Miro, and I am completely down with him coming to AEW instead.

maybe that kind of line would burn bridges in the "bury people for not shaking hands" company but everyone in AEW seems pretty chill as long as you don't say hosed up things about them or their families

I want Punk vs Eddie. You have the guy who walked away from the business at the height of his career vs the guy who was almost forced to quit at his lowest moment.

Yeah I'm with this. I suddenly want Punk's entire time in AEW just being Mox and Eddie stomping on his face in increasingly convoluted metaphors about the industry.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I have absolutely no desire to see CM Punk in AEW, but IF they sign him I have no doubt they'll turn him into somebody I do want to see.

I'm calling this the "Ethan Page effect" for now.

Bryan Danielson would absolutely be a huge deal for me. The guy that got me into independent wrestling, hell yeah I'm excited to hear he might make it to AEW.

yeah, that's kind of the thing, there are so many people on the WWE roster who people put in the 'bad' category when the only thing that's bad is the poo poo-rear end way the WWE is using them and personally murdering fan interest in them

The WWE as an organization is a trash fire but the talent has never been the problem, very, very few people on the roster are actually bad (jaxson ryker is ruining my ability to speak in absolutes) and basically any of them could be good to great given an actual chance somewhere

It did seem like that kind of annoyed Cody and Tony Khan so maybe it cooled things off for a while, but now that the pandemic is over, that doesn't really matter when there's money to be made.

Hangman Page beats Kenny Omega in the "All Out" main event for the AEW World Championship. Hangman and the Dark Order celebrate with drinks, and then CM Punk comes out and knocks the drink out of Hangman's hand.

This is now the only acceptable way to debut Punk imo

To be fair to Dolph, has he ever wrestled in a promotion that wasn't actively going out of it's way to make him look like an utter dork at every possible opportunity? Up to and including having the owner's daughter cut a promo about how terrible he is for basically no reason?

It's kind of crazy, but according to Cagematch, Dolph has never had a single match outside of OVW, FCW, and WWE.

His entire goal in life was to get into the WWE and he didn't even mess around with the indies, just went straight from amateur wrestling to the feeder system.

Punk and Bryan should feud over who is Renee's favorite co-host.

The Bryan/Punk singles match ends with a run-in, debut and a very kneevil attack on Punk from Renee's actual favorite co-host, and interim host of the Oral Sessions for a week, Danhausen.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


If Punk comes back to wrestling I'm sure he will be the same very good talker and largely average worker he was before. I don't need to see it but I'm sure I'll watch it if he's on a show I watch, I've just not been interested in him in a while.

He's made a couple of okay horror movies. That's good, I guess.

One thing I like about AEW is that people can ebb and flow on the roster without ever being totally memory-holed or stuck in catering. I get the sense that in most cases people will be looking for opportunities to feature people, and I like the idea of seeing someone in a big program and then maybe they step back for a little while to focus on other people.

I don't know enough about their contracts or how it works, but if you could bring in the likes of Punk without it jeopardising the careers of other people on the roster then that would be great. If you're paying people to stay home while they focus on someone like Punk it also has the benefit of not exploding everyone's knees by overworking them - I just wouldn't want that to turn into them sitting at home forever and never being featured again.

As someone who almost saw one of Punk's last house shows but couldn't make it because I totalled my car trying to get to the show in a massive blizzard I hope I get another chance to see him wrestle live, preferably in a company that has a history of helping people revitalize their careers.
