Haven't watched the show but saw the footage, which didn't disappoint. Honestly bizarre that people are so mad at AEW for airing this footage. It's not like they're doing this out of nowhere, Punk just did a lot of poo poo-talking in an interview without much prompting from Helwani and continued the poo poo-talking during Mania.

El Generico posted:Delusional people on Twitter being like "it shows he told the exact truth!" It's so funny to me that Phil branded himself as this firebrand "Tell me when I'm telling lies" truth talker when he lies all the time. Not in the way wrestlers lie like Danielson or Cody, but in the way someone whose reality is so distorted by their fragile ego that they believe in their own lies. Sad that the Philmaniacs are still buying it though.

Cabbit posted:There ain't no loving way WWE is astroturfing the comments of third rung wrestling news sites, or Tumblr of all loving places. It's actual brain rot. Wrestling fans are cooked for like an entire generation, this poo poo is a write off. Word. It's not just the Fed fans either, you have an entire group of 'serious' wrestling fans who are all about practising decorum when it involves the Fed.

Stall_19 posted:You think Punk was hurt at all with this video? Find me one person who mind was changed in any way with this video. Like Punk got chants in the arena during and after the footage. Punk constantly got butthurt over imaginary slights or conspiracy theories he read off the internet while he was with AEW.

STAC Goat posted:I think regardless of how anyone feels about the ethics or class or deservingness or whatever of airing the footage the construct of it was just weird. You had the heels showing the video as an excuse for why their loss to the faces doesn’t count, then you have the faces who were explicitly said to be friends of Punk do the big face promo, and then you have the heels jump them. I’m not surprised some fans chanted “CM Punk”. It was basically structured like a story where he would run in to save his friends against the jerk heels. It was weird. This is valid. It does seem a bit generous of them to make the Bucks the villain in all of this when outside of kayfabe it's Punk who can't shut the hell up about AEW.

Miching Mallecho posted:I have no doubt there's going to be punk chants when he's on regular AEW tv but that's going to get booed away like yesterday when it started for a couple of seconds and died, but nobody mentions the chants dying, it's "well there was cm punk chants and they didn't want that you know" Even when Punk was still around in AEW, the funniest thing about CM Punk chants post Brawl Out was how quickly it died out and got drowned out by the crowd loving around with him.

Sir Tonk posted:Insane number of punk cultists on twitter replying to every dude that speaks ill of their leader He didn't have this many blind fans post-Brawl In, which makes me think that the number of Punk cultists probably grew exponentially since he went back to WWE. Not surprisingly, most of these now-fans of Punk were the same folks who didn't care at all for Punk when he first returned to wrestling in AEW.

keithy george posted:Moné sounded like the tiktok voice. If you're going to zoom in on her face, have her look into the camera, Marvez is already doing it. I was quite impressed by the charisma and star power Mercedes Moné brought when she debuted at Big Business. Ever since then though, she has been nothing but a literal cartoon character spewing catchphrases in an uncanny valley tone of voice. That interview and when she interrupted Willow's firy babyface promo was so funny to me, it was so jarring how different her presentation is with the rest of AEW.

That Defector piece is so embarrassing in how hard it went to #StandUpForPhil. Someone mentioned that all the handwringing we see about this is WWE astroturfing the narrative, at this point I think they're probably right. The Fed got the resources and the drones to pull it off.

a dumb moron posted:If TNA didn’t gain anything from their AEW partnership (and all things considered, they didn’t outside of one rating pop and one buyrate boost, I think?), what in the WORLD makes them think they’d get anything from WWE, a company known for insidiously destroying any territory they partner with? Cody finished his story, this means WWE is good now and has saved wrestling from the outlaw mud show that aired the Punk footage.

" podcasts that went hard anti-AEW after a while, from what I hear secondhand. I don't really keep up with many podcasts at all let alone ones about wrestling but my friends said something about Tights & Fights getting a new team that are as blandly Pro-WWE-Wrestling-Podcast as you can get.

CombineThresher posted:This more than anything else is what turned me off of OSW. It was fun when they ripped on the worst parts of 90s WCW and WWE but holy poo poo their taste in modern stuff is terrible. Deadlock is way more fun since those guys know they're numbskulls at the end of the day. Not specifically just OSW but I'm surprised that it turns out the people who make fun of the standard WrestleCrap™ stuff of the '90s and even the '00s don't actually have good taste in wrestling.

Whoolighams posted:WWE is "cool again" in a nerd culture way and AEW is seen as a threat to its dominance, people love and identify themselves by enjoying corporate sanitized pop culture and want their view to be objectively correct. it's like when people post about the most recent boring-rear end Star Wars show getting a 95% on the Tomatometer or whatever when it'll be forgotten in a week. It's going to be real dire once WWE stans pick up nerd culture's M.O. and start review bombing matches on cagematch.net.

A Fancy Hat posted:When I was still using Twitter any post I made about AEW would be swarmed with replies like “AEW sux” and a half dozen accounts all posting “nobody watching this”. If you looked at the accounts that posted it they were very obviously bots in that they had under 50 followers, followed thousands of people, and would all say basically the same thing again and again. Wouldn't it make more sense for WWE to pay for these bots themselves?
