The crowd chanted for CM Punk tonight so that tells you what that footage did for AEW

firing cm punk and having your crowd chant his name at your shows occasionally is historically a death knell for any company

Was there a second time the crowd chanted for Punk or just a couple seconds at the end of the PACTR beatdown and then back to booing?

WWE doesn't waste their actual tv shows ever talking about their competitors in any real way.

They devoted half a 3 hour show once to making fun of the NBA over a venue dispute

"They both can be dumb as hell" is a thought that isn't occurring nearly often enough in these situations

You know I'm talking about the current era of WWE. And not Monday Night Wars era right, poo poo man I've probably been watching wrestling since before you were born.

Like it's easy to gently caress with you because you're a big loving homer but seriously gently caress off.

I'm confused by the idea that TV time is a precious commodity for either company. They have 5-7 hours a week of it for 52 weeks a year! AEW has more than 10 full days of TV time to fill for a year; one or two segments isn't even a drop in a bucket

Both the events that caused this response occurred on The MMA Hour and The Pat McAfee Show.

if you’re going to stick around and post like this maybe airing the footage was bad

I think my favorite thing to come from this is people perl clutching about how this is stupid because the bucks are heels and this will make them faces. Then the bucks work their magic and present the footage in a way that keeps them heels AND still makes punk look like a bitch and people complain that the bucks still being heels makes punk look good. Guys, I think the bucks will be able to handle a week or two of cm punk chants while they are on screen perfectly fine

they're never going to live down playing that footage without watching it. they thought playing the tape would reveal that cm punk was lying, and they played it to prove that to the world. but they proved he was telling the truth. worst of all, it didn't tie into or set up any storylines. i'm going to repeat this for 3 days

I can't loving stand watching WWE shows which is why I'm annoyed at Tony Khan for being so easily gotten to that he's devoting TV time on "I'm not mad don't put in the paper I'm mad" segments instead of fixing his wrestling companies very glaring problems.

Yeah I'm not surprised that eagerly swallowing down Vince's slop for 40 years has fried all of your brain cells, you credulous dumbfuck, that's the only way a sentence like "oh, well, WWE hasn't explicitly called out AEW on their first-run television, which somehow matters less than them constantly trying to attack it and undermine it in every way possible since it started!" could tumble out of your mouth and onto the page.

The show was good and the tape gave me the peace of mind to say that Jack Perry was always good with a clear conscience and virtuous heart.


And if you disagree, i think fallout started tonight perhaps you should watch it.

I haven't seriously watched the WWE since like WrestleMania 30. I thought AEW would get me back into wrestling and for the first couple years it did but I fell off a little after I went to Forbidden Door 2 live. Hope that helps.

I guess I would say not that I'm aware of in any big way, it seems any time they've taken any marked shots at the competition has been during outside interviews.
