running back to the company that hated you and purposefully sent you your release during your wedding then sued you to drain your bank account - just to try to stick it to the company that gave you literally anything you asked for and built the company (and a weekly show) around you but you couldn't physically stop yourself from loving it all up is definitely a cm punk thing to do lol

I really hope it's true
It’s baffling. With Cody, you can almost give it a pass as anyone who watched any of the shows TBS gave him can attest, Cody is a deeply dumb carnie man. Love the guy and all but… he’s dumb as rocks. Punk? Punk is supposed to be smart and, for a long time, was supposed to be one of US. His super goony AEW meltdown when given the keys to the kingdom was sad and depressing; but, as one who listened to the Punk Departure/WWE sucks Colt podcast on day one (not ish) I can officially say… this is gonna be hilarious. Godspeed Punk, you Demi god of spite. May flights of angels sing thee to thy next lawsuit.

Hopefully nobody else shares bank accounts with their mother.

duh, all wwe did was fire him on his wedding day, make him wrestle regularly with a staph infection, and sued him for the specific purpose of making him miserable and ruin relationships. What the Elite did is way worse

I would prefer Punk wrestles for a company whose vision of wrestling doesn't piss me off so much but I don't think there's any of those left that can actually pay him anyway, so, whatever.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
At this point I'm convinced Cody's plan the entire time was to get back to WWE. Not that he specifically plotted out "I'm gonna go join the Elite and then wait for Meltzer to tweet something so I can run an indie show that gets a lot of attention and that'll led to me getting an EVP job at WWE's biggest competitor in decades" but he knew he had to do something to get Vince's attention in a way that'd get him the main event treatment when he came back and the fact that the Elite/All In/AEW pipeline happened was just the perfect series of events to make that happen.

Punk, meanwhile, seems to be motivated entirely by spite towards whoever slighted him most recently and if that means getting in bed with someone who slighted him in the past he's fine with that, even if the things they did to him were far, far worse. At least until he has another meltdown cause someone backstage liked a tweet that was mildly critical of him and the cycle begins anew.

I could be hilariously wrong, but I think Punk would mostly behave himself if he went back to WWE.

I knew a woman once who had worked at IBM and at a Silicon Valley startup. She said the startup was constant drama, egos, childishness, and even screaming. She couldn't believe how these people acted with so much money at stake. It wasn't like any other job she ever had.

At IBM, there was typical workplace drama, but nothing crazy.

I've always thought the difference was that at the startup, the company was young and the staff was pretty small, so people felt like they had more of a voice, and when they felt like they weren't being heard or there was conflict, they blew up because nothing kept them in check.

At a huge multinational that's been around forever, people know they don't matter and they're just there for the paycheck and benefits.

wwe should give him stupid gimmicks and make him come out in sailors suits with big lollies and rename him flubby phil and give him new catchphrases like "i done got a baseball on me bum-bum" and make him so mad they can fire him for cause and insist they feared for their lives

They'll book him mostly sensibly for a few weeks so they get some good headlines and thinkpiece videos before doing what they always do but try to ride out that initial good will.

So yeah just like Cody

They will book him OK-ish for three weeks and then he will get hurt, WWE stans are going to lose their minds over the ~potential~ in his return!

Also, quoting myself from a little over a week ago:

Grendels Dad posted:

lol who gives a poo poo about The Rock's last match anymore? It's abundantly clear he will be back eventually. It's honestly pretty pathetic of both Vince and The Rock how they are playing around with the expectations around the match against Roman; it's going to loving happen. Maybe not next year, or the year after, but it will happen and there will be a million lovely ads for it when it does, trying to convince everybody that this was actually worth the wait.

And then five years after The Rock will have a five-second squash against Doink's grandson and die five days later, who loving cares?

Brock's early mma striking looked great until he started training kickboxing and became scared of getting hit in the face. Phil was probably going fencing mode constantly in training

if punk signs on with wwe cody may as well take the stardust gear in to make sure it still fits. rock is already back in the ring, if Vince gets an even bigger hotter messier ex-elite cody will be lucky to be in the ic title ladder match

Punk and Cody should be made to face each other every week in a never-ending series of openers where they go 50/50 off of rollups and gently caress finishes until they're completely heatless, at which point the payoff will be Cody winning at WM 42 after donning the Stardust costume.
