Bryan has never been great on the mic anyway. He's got immense physical presence but you might say when it comes to talking he's a B+ player.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Danielson has always been the endearing, realistic, down to earth guy who speaks from the heart. Like Cody Rhodes but a lot more humble.

As far as Punk talking circles around the AEW roster, sure if they put him against Jungle Boy. AEW has some of the best promos in the business right now and a lot of them have already worked with Punk before.

Punk gave the same promo for like a decade so of course he's going to be good at it after a while

Yes, because AEW isn't known for its talkers.

People who don't watch the show and just go off of the "flippy midget spot monkey" poo poo don't know that AEW quietly became, predominately, a talking and angles promotion during the pandemic.

God could you imagine CM Punk having a feud against Eddie Kingston, Mox, or Jericho? They've literally never interacted before

The thing that (partially, at least) stops them from realizing that is that people in AEW aren't cutting loving 20 minute promos.

It's more that people on both sides (I know, that's not what I'm saying here, shh) don't really evaluate or examine their own beliefs beyond a superficial, surface level. Which is how you get cognitive dissonance like this guy clearly has.

Wrestling fans, more so from the AEW side have no clue what subtlety is.

It was done right on Monday night. Charlotte wore her Cruella inspired jacket, to put over Nikki A.S.H. a villain was defeated by a superhero. That's what you call subtle and foreshadowing.

... Putting a person in a literal superhero costume and having them beat someone dressed as a Disney villain is subtle. Okay. You know, some of these just make me wonder if I'm the crazy one.

If Daniel Bryan convinced his wife to quit her show, stunting her income, as well as his sister in law’s, and made this big production about how he told his father in law at talent relations that he wanted to be an involved dad just to sign a contract to go on the road with a rival company so he can work in Japan, he’s kind of a selfish prick. Go where you want, that’s the joy of competition, but some of the rumours sound like he screwed over his wife, sister in law, and lied to his father in law’s face so he could try to kill himself for “creative fulfillment.”Related: he’s 100% gonna end up like Randy the Ram, but I’ve thought that for years.

Next few weeks are going to be amazing for this thread

Yes and no: I don't remember people turning on him so much as being confused given the platform AEW was willing to give him without a contract. And then his visa situation was explained and they chilled out.

July 23 2021 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the business practices of a single pro wrestler, but let me explain what all of this means to me.

My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when Daniel Bryan was rumored to have signed with AEW tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. He tore away my ability to respect anything, and he tore away my ability to feel human
