Yeah it's great. Obviously we've all been watching enough to have known most of the ins and outs of Punk's hypocrisies, but when they're all laid out so methodically it's both mind-boggling and also undeniable (although a lot of people still do)

Lots of talkies tonight

The Dynamite after a PPV often feels like chaos in a good way with new stories and feuds popping up. Hoping we get some of that chaos tonight.

I too seek chaos, and I'm hoping the talky segments don't go too long. I'd like less of them altogether, and I feel like too many wrestlers think promo segments need to go long to be effective. Most of them should be like 3-5 minutes tops.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I'm sure sometime later today TK will announce one more match, like let's say Matt Sydal vs Lance Archer.

one point that came up was how when Punk joined aew he was happy the locker room didn't leak stuff and how there were so many leaks as soon as he got there and how it mostly ended except for like one thing (the hangman worked injury) after he left.

I said in the Podcast thread but they're so good at this in a way that's extremely rare to hear in the wrestling podcast space. They're so well-researched and eloquent and they're laying out things I didn't even know happened or put proper significance towards. It's a really incredible bit of journalism.

I'm also listening to this and just hit the point where they're laying out the many times Punk sabotaged the beginning of Collision because of his own ego. Heading into Canada, Jericho wants to work a program? Nah. Orange Cassidy is in the building and ready to work? No, thanks. MJF and Adam Cole draw a huge number? We'll never see them again.

He literally left the company worse off than he found it. AEW was MORE POPULAR before he got there, and his injuries and bullshit dirtsheet drama derailed so many plans. The master of the worked shoot couldn't handle a worked shoot and worked himself into a shoot! Multiple times! He never wanted to be in AEW and got turned down by Vince before he signed. He was given everything he asked for, and it was never enough because he never wanted to be there! He wanted to be fired and he was, and now he's back home, so good riddance and I hope TK learned a lot from the experience.

The Chris Jericho in Canada thing was a huge watershed moment for me while listening because it didn't even cross my mind even as I watched Collision weekly, but yeah, they were doing what was originally a house show circuit turned TV taping in Canada, why the hell weren't they using Jericho? He and Punk had tons of history to work with! A proven ratings draw at that! Unbelievable!

I even remember thinking at the time it was weird that Cole & MJF just kinda lost to FTR on Collision, but I think at the time I rationalized it as FTR being an established team and that it would lead to the obvious MJF/Cole feud - it kinda did, but y'know. I understand giving Better Than You Bay Bay poo poo, but by the time of All In it was an undeniably hot program!

CM Punk really is somehow the closest AEW got to "being WCW" in so many really fascinating ways.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
