It’s like the booking. Fed fans have been so accustomed to complete dogshit for decades that halfway competent work gets lauded as the best there ever is.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:CM punk more than anything wants to be a locker room leader like his idol, the Undertaker The last two times he was a locker room leader: 1) he literally called himself a locker room leader and told people to clean up their trash so Booker T threw his trash on the ground in front of him 2) he told RVD “hey I’m calling a talent meeting” and RVD was like uhhhmmm

VideoWitch posted:The funny thing is that's not even the point Punk was trying to make. What Punk was saying was that if there weren't guaranteed contracts and wrestlers were paid based on the gate then creative would be able to pivot away from stuff that didn't work because they could tell what was and wasn't selling tickets. I have heard repeatedly that Tony khan does exactly that with tv ratings and it has been pointed to directly as the reason that some folks early on in AEW got pushes and now are basically not on tv at all I suspect Nyla rose in particular suffered because of this lol that punk is super butthurt when what he wants is more or less what is happening

AEW gave Punk his own TV show with discretionary booking powers. And he still wasn't happy. He's a bigger schmuck than Hogan.

No see. He knew it was a bad idea and wanted to be fired immediately but Tony Khan just insisted he have the money and the power to keep talent relations away from the show

The easiest way to identify Hulk Hogan bullshit is if the sentence starts with “Hogan said”

a dumb moron posted:The last two times he was a locker room leader: The chasers for RVD was Rob was ECW champ at the time and Phil added "Don't worry, it's not about you" and RVD couldn't figure out what he had to be worried about from Punk in any case. Shard posted:Did he actually turn down the foreman grill deal or is that Hogan bullshit? It should be noted Hogan DID get a grill eventually... that had to be recalled because it was a fire hazard. Wrestling YouTuber Brian Zane made some burgers on one and they were apparently pretty good, for what that's worth.

Hogan also ended up with a goddamn blender. https://www.wrestlecrap.com/someone-bought-this/hulk-hogan-thunder-mixer/ 'Blender'. Mixer. Close enough.

Even the Gawker suit had some dubious rulings that experts said would have been overturned on appeall, but as we've seen with Trump if you want to appeal you have to post the full amount awarded and whoever owned Gawker at the time couldn't do that without bankrupting themselves. So even that win was kinda on a technicality.
