Survivor bounced back big with a 0.77 demo rating and 4.84 overall number, absolutely continuing the correlation that Jeff Probst is here to eat Tony Khan's lunch.

Has anyone made a new version of the Punk/Joe meme where Punk is going "Are you Still in AEW" yet?

1) The promotion got better so people aren't as negative on it as they were last year.
2) Me and Jungle Boy were two of the last Punk holdouts besides you and we both gave up after the Helwani interview.

Both of these facts have made you feel significantly more isolated.

That Devil poo poo got so awful I had to write a column about how bad it sucked. Do you know how loving lazy I am? Social media has completely rotted my brain's ability to write anything longer than a forum post without focusing all of my effort on it but I just banged out like 10 pages about how terrible the Devil was without breaking a sweat.

hey now, i gave up on him after i tuned in to raw for punk’s return to wwe promo and he delivered a low energy, phoned in promo that he capped off with “i’m home” after i sat through 3 hours of the worst television i’ve seen in years.

and i’d turn on any other wrestler if they did the same



it also made me realize that as bad as aew had gotten at the end of the last year it was nowhere near as bad as papa h’s 3 hour water torture

Sometimes all you need is a little perspective in your wrestling.

And with that perspective: thank god for Samoa Joe's title run. I'll never say I wasn't enjoying myself in the moment (except for MJF kicking out of the concrete DDT and the Jay White stuff I'm so angry :argh:) but what we've had the first half of the year has been so, so, so much better it's unreal.

(Also, admittedly, as much as it can suck in the moment, seeing the realization dawn on JB just how bad WWE was as he watched, only for the killing blow to be dealt with Punk's terrible promo...genuinely very funny.)

The C2 brought AEW back, it was the start of the restoration of that elusive "feeling"...

It also had Christian's hot run, the start of the Copeland feud, and lots of other good things, but the bad was distractingly rough at points and I don't think it's unfair to say so. A Tale Of Two Booking Philosophies
