a cyborg mug posted:FITE’s iOS app continues to be one of the worst apps by non-indie developers I’ve ever used. Just utter garbage. Prefer to watch AEW via the PS4 browser which somehow works much better That’s how I always did it until I got rid of my PS4 and they didn’t put a browser on the PS5. Had to buy a little roku streaming box thing just for the FITE app, but it actually works really nicely so I’m not that mad about it since it’s tiny and I had plenty of free HDMI sockets.

Storyline-wise I hope the 4th labor of Jericho is Jericho has to beat Sammy Guevara (although I don't know how you sell the idea that they'd keep it competitive). But since I'll be at that show (I assume the 4th labor will be next week), I want Jericho to have to fight Lance Storm.

Sometimes it's fun to stop and consider just how interconnected mainstream wrestling is at the moment. Kenny Omega, the All Elite Wrestling champion, is also the Impact Wrestling champion. He is part of a stable in AEW with the Impact tag champs, the AEW tag champs, and the former Impact Executive Vice President. He is also AAA Megachampion and is preparing for a title match against Andrade El Idolo, who wrestles for AAA and AEW. Kenny's stablemate Karl Anderson recently competed on Dynamite against Jon Moxley for the IWGP US Title. Moxley later lost this title to AEW wrestler Lance Archer who will this month defend this title on a New Japan show against Hiroshi Tanahashi. The card for this show includes Rocky Romero, Wheeler Yuta and Ren Narita, all of whom have appeared recently on AEW shows, and TJP, Jay White, David Finlay, and Juice Robinson, all of whom have worked recently for Impact. The most recent episode of Dynamite was main evented by Chris Jericho in his New Japan "Painmaker" gimmick, facing off against Nick Gage, who days before this match lost his Game Changer Wrestling title to Matt Cardona, who is an Impact Wrestling mainstay. The card where Gage lost the title also included AEW star Marko Stunt, Big Japan Wrestling champion Drew Parker, and ROH star and former Television Champion Tony Deppen. This week's AEW Dynamite will feature a number one contender's match for the NWA women's title between Leyla Hirsch and The Bunny, with the resulting title match taking place on the upcoming NWA Empowerrr PPV. Leyla Hirsch was recently part of an AEW tag team with current SEAdLINNNG Beyond The Sea Champion Ryo Mizunami, who came to AEW after winning the Japanese bracket of the AEW Women's World Championship Tournament, a tournament that featured competitors from TJPW, Marvelous, Gatoh Move, and Ganbare, which is part of DDT. The number one contender for the DDT world title is Konosuke Takeshita, who recently took an excursion to the USA and wrestled for AEW, teaming several times with Kenny Omega. Wrestling is so much better when it happens in an ecosystem.

I don't know that much about PWG or the indies, but I gotta imagine Malakai is loving stoked that the second he leaves the fed, he gets a pretty big feud at the next biggest company and gets an angle with the surprise from last night's PWG the return of Super Dragon. Not against him, of course, but still involved there.

So they sold well over ten thousand tickets merely on the rumour that CM Punk will show up. Remember when people here were aguing that AEW shouldn't sign Punk and that it'd a bad move for business? Good times.

smarxist posted:i've never seen a Punk match, i hope he's a good wrestler and talker guy Despite the 'always bad' crowd, he was one of the best promos in the business and his in ring was never super crisp but his psychology was very good. If he's able to get the rust off at QTs gym or wherever, he'll be an asset, his behind the scenes personality notwithstanding

I liked Punk quite a bit, but I figured he was done and had kinda written him off. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a ring again but I did not expect this kind of reaction. Maybe it being AEW/not the WWE has something to do with the level of excitement? I don't know.

I think it's impossible to overestimate how over Punk is in the Chicago area. He was over enough that Vince was skittish about burying him and think about the people Vince humiliates in their hometown

Somehow I had forgotten the venue was in Chicago. For some reason I was getting it confused with the New York one, which is also selling out. Makes more sense.

While I am not particularly personally interested in Punk, especially 44 year old ring rust Punk, it's objective that he's going to draw money. Unfortunately objective, perhaps.

Are there any particularly good, or at least notable, Punk matches that would be worth watching? I wasn't watching wrestling when he was a Thing, though as a Chicagoan I certainly knew of him.

Basically any of his big matches against Cena and the Summerslam Street Fight with Brock (I think 2012?) are his WWE hits, someone else probably has a ROH list

Money in the bank 2011 vs John Cena was WWE’s only 5 star match for like a 15 year span or something like that. As someone who also started after he had already retired, it’s one of the few I’ve seen, but I remember it being good. But a huge part of that is the atmosphere and storyline of that match. E: looked it up, it was 21 years. Bret vs stone cold from 97 -> Punk vs Cena -> Andrade vs Johnny Gargano 2018 Insertnamehere31 fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Aug 2, 2021 |

I've been impressed with Christian's entire run, all of his matches have been entertaining in a different way than most AEW matches and he's been insinuating himself well into the talent culture, if Punk can manage that level of run, then it'll be a huge win

Undertaker vs Punk at Wrestlemania 29 is pretty special just for the crowd reaction. Solidly 50/50 between both guys, until *one point* in the match Bonus points for that reaction burning out the crowd so much that the following Brock vs Triple H match was dead silence

Punk vs Samoa Joe II from ROH and Punk vs Cena from Money in the Bank 2011 are the two legit amazing ones I'd say.

Can't help but wonder how they're smoothing out the whole situation with him, Colt Cabana, and Doc Sampson... but I'm gonna figure that they're all adults and won't affect whatever they got planned.

They're going to print big fake novelty paychecks made out to Colt for Punk to steal, to appease him.
