CM Punk and Daniel Bryan are by far, by far, the biggest most popular wrestlers in the last decade. You'd have be a loving moron to think AEW wouldn't do whatever it took to snap them them up

Wouldn't it make sense to space out their introductions? Why burn up all that pop and attention in a short period of time?

Who says they would? Also, maybe it would be a stroke of genius to introduce them at once? What a melt down that would be

Someone on reddit did a thing, and if Danielson or Punk amounts to nothing this will forever exist and for that we should be grateful

Indications are that Bryan will be in New York. They would be crazy not to do something with Punk in Chicago if they can.

remember that absolute banger match Penta had against Fenix. Holy poo poo that was good

Remember Eddie kicking Fenix out of the ring like a dirty piece of poo poo while he tried to sweet talk Penta? It was great.

I'm torn on whether or not MJF should come out to Cult of Personality in Chicago before Punk's debut. I think there would be an actual riot.

Have MJF come out to Cult of Personality, but while he’s laughing at the crowd for being so gullible start playing miseria cantare for real

Konnan asked Tony if he signed Bryan and he smiled

quote:

The only reason I asked him is because I wanted to use Bryan Danielson in AAA.

I was like, ‘Hey man, have you signed Bryan Danielson?’ He goes, ‘You know I can’t tell you that’ and then I looked at him and I go ‘bro, if that gently caress shows up in Chicago, that place is gonna melt’, and he just smiled. So I think he might have but he has not told me.

I know it's a cliche but I think AEW has earned a 'wait and see' to find out what they're doing with that show and how it can be paced. Two hours of Rampage has the show ending at midnight, and I'm pretty sure they've run the numbers on the ROI on a second hour that late on a Friday.

Arguably though, a second hour wouldn’t be late for the west coast?

I know this is a terrible argument.

Two years ago we'd just seen Fight for the Fallen, we had no real firm grasp of what Dynamite would be as a weekly show and some poor, misguided people were not yet sold on The Hangman. What a trip.

I do kinda dislike having some idea of where Bryan and Punk are gonna pop up because those crowds are gonna be waiting for the fireworks factory the whole night. AEW is savvy and not WWE so I don't think they'll keep em waiting too long but I still have flashbacks about poor Rey Mysterio at the Royal Rumble.

I believe on the nights Dynamite had to run then, the second hour's ratings dropped like a rock.

They should advertise these ahead of time to pop ratings and ticket sales. The surprise can still be what they'll do it say or who they interact with, but they should absolutely not keep the very idea of them appearing a surprise.

AEW has already received at least one talking to by TNT to "sell some loving tickets and get some loving eyeballs by promoting these types of thing"

If TBS asks for a fourth hour just put all the codyverse stuff in there. Tape it in front of an empty arena after each live show and call it QTies afterdark.

Jeff’s just gonna accidentally hit send on their #AllElite graphics on a Tuesday afternoon and that’ll be that.

Given that both signings immediately got out (assuming they’re true), I am curious if they they just openly promote that they’re coming than make them a surprise debut.

Is there truth to the thing that Turner didn't like surprise debuts on TV? Wonder if that changes anything as to how they'd handle this stuff.
