CM Punk was a test for this company and they failed it like a dog!! Hardly anyone in the locker room actually cares about the company succeeding, like maybe 5 guys do tops. The rest are more concerned about their own spot, collecting a steady paycheck, or running back to the fed the first chance they get. Tony hosed himself when he put Elite in the name of the company because then he had to fork over boat loads of cash to the checked out Young Bucks to avoid being embarrassed by them leaving. As if they'd actually go to WWE and be anywhere near on Cody's level. They'd have a couple matches with The Usos and Sami/Kevin and then WWE wouldn't know what to do with em. You hear lots of stories about who backstage is influential in helping the younger talent, spending time with the younger talent and I've never heard the young bucks mentioned not even once lol. Waste of $$$$$$. If it were me, I'd give both their salaries to Cody to get him back.

NienNunb posted:Tony’s handling of the entire Elite/Punk fallout was embarrassingly bad. Threw away years worth of big money matches/feuds by not knowing how to manage his talent and nip something like that in the bud. its actually good for business when talent doesn't get along absolute clown poo poo lol

MJeff posted:2019: Wrestling fans are underserved and need something different. lol the nerve of this mf I’ve been to 10+ shows including the first Double or Nothing and the first Dynamite, bought every single pape for $50, watched every single week, bought the poo poo game, and bought a stupid amount of action figures. How about you stop making me embarrassed to be a fan?

would be very cool if they reboot the show after the C2 but the earliest possible chance for anything resembling that is whenever adam cole heals in late 2024 so tony can Finish The Story. more crap from an arse until then

Even if they were feuding they'd still double the time i definitely think he needed to leave when he did, but i hope he comes back and saves the company before its too late

Tony should fire The Young Bucks and bring back CM Punk to win the crowds back and have a professional merch operation where you can buy a shirt of your favorite wrestler at the show

Buying ROH is one of the worst things that happened to AEW. I had zero attachment to the brand and wouldn’t have cared if WWE bought it and I don’t care about all its dumb belts or that it’s crawling along with all the dark jobbers that Tony keeps renewing because they’re friends with the right people

Shard posted:I don't mind roh because I literally don't watch it. I don't care about it but I also don't care that it exists. And the roh people that are actually featured on AEW are good so I don't mind that either. If it stayed in its own bubble as some sort of patronage of the jobber arts I wouldn’t care but all the belts are on tv all the time and involved in major storylines in a company that had too many belts before you add in ROH

NienNunb posted:“Hardcore AEW Fans Who Never Engaged With 2000s/2010s Indie Wrestling” was a type of person I didn’t think existed a year or so ago but have come to realize somehow makes up the majority of the fanbase. Bizarre! I didn’t watch wrestling after WCW died I had wayyyy cooler things to do like uhhhhhhh… I specced Long Island Hardcore instead of 00s wrestling I started following WWE again in 2015 when Sting showed up because he was my favorite wrestler in WCW and I quickly realized it was still fuckin garbage and then I saw clips of Omega vs Okada I and the rest was history. Never heard of ROH or TNA until 2017 and never saw a Punk match until he debuted in AEW lol. I’m very glad that at least seeing Sting break his neck in WWE wasn’t the end

Anyone who celebrated Punk getting fired was celebrating the beginning of the end for AEW. Personally it brings me no pleasure that AEW is dying, but it is. I watched my favorite company die when I was a kid so I’m prepared this time. I just hope The Invasion angle is better this time around.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:Sure, WWE made him wrestle with MRSA and almost let him die, fired him on his wedding day, lied to him about giving him the Mania main event, and always went out of their way to directly gently caress him over but that's nothing compared to what the Bucks did and be catty All those people are gone or out of power, Papa H is running the show now. He showed that even when Cody smashed his throne that Forgiveness and Business trumps all.

That DICK! posted:i read report that the end of aew is being tied to the sting retirement angle and will be a 'multiversal event' featuring njpw and aew and even wwe stars. john hausman of haus of wrestling reported yesterday that it will be like the marvel endgame with the big armies charging at each other and that's going to be aew + njpw led by mjf and adam cole versus' cody rhodes wwe army. a big battle royale fought to a standstill with all the big beloved stars and something special for the gals too. hard cut to the main event, its the OG three, kenny omega, jon moxley and sting staring down the big dog roman reigns and his island of relevancy. all seems lost when sting throws the bat to kenny - woah, he is worthy? he hits the juggernaut for the 1. 2. no! its broken up by seth rollins and.... the REAL dean ambrose? the shield is reunited. spear! the big dog stacks them and pins. ding ding ding. aew is over. of course aspects of this could change in the months to come If this is true then all I have to say is Wow
