Still baffles my mind how Dominik is anywhere near the main roster let alone a pay per view.

Castle looks like it was a fun show.
Sheamus and Gunter slapping the shit out of each other was always going to be the highlight but the main event was Sports Entertainment heavy. Drew looked a million dollars.
I haven’t seen it all but of what I did the only negative was Dominic being so heavily featured because he sucks.
I wonder if next time they’ll do London and bring all the Axxess fan stuff too

Caught up properly with Dynamite, the trios match was, again, incredible. AEW need to pull out all the stops in signing Ospreay full time.
I just can't see how the trios match at the PPV can top what we've seen already in the tournament, which is a good problem to have.

Clash was really good but they really need to end this unification of the main belts.
Surprised they ended the event how they did(if it was planned?)

The Reigns match was awful and an overbooked mess. They had a chance to do something Drew and they pretty much ruined it.
i can't see Regins dropping any title now until Cody comes back.

It didn't need to go 30 minutes. In fact no Roman match needs to go over 20 IMO.

NXTUK got done good and dirty at Worlds Collide. Not a single victory so either none of them are staying in NXT and about to get released or HBK simply favored all the guys he works with weekly.
Mandy Rose has improved but she's also the perfect reason why not every title reign should be a long one. He stuff on NXT is just dull.

Khan really should bin CM Punk off after that media scrum. No idea what he was thinking trashing on pretty much all the locker room.

Punks such a little bitch and clearly a toxic person.
Can't help but think Black is the one who asked to be released after last night.
Also enjoy only being on Dark from now on Athena..

Punk is such a bellend. Not just what he said (but very much that) but also shutting down Khan whenever Tony tried to step in and save face.
Say what you will about Vince, Hunter or even Dana White, they wouldn’t be cowering away letting him trash the locker room and company like that.
It might be a work but I doubt it. Lets not forget
I’m not saying Colt is a saint but I’m not sure how saying he was going to sue the shit out of Colt’s mom makes Punk feel like the good guy.

The funny part is all this shit came from a pointless comment from Hangman that literally nobody remembered until Punk lost his shit about it. He really is a tool but Khan looks like he will die on a hill for Punk.

I still think that first Survivor Series match is brilliant and was my match of the year at the time. Sometimes spectacle is all you need.

He really is a tool but Khan looks like he will die on a hill for Punk. For a guy who claims to be a shoot king and has been living off a (not really) shoot promo he sure gets upset when others do it. Toni kicking dirt at Rosa with Tony laughing wasn't a good look either. Fightful reporting that security had to break up an altercation between punk and a Kenny or the bucks. Funny bit was Owens posting a pic of him and Austin from the WM main event moments after Punk had complained about the Bucks. |

If Punk is at war with the Bucks and Hangman it’ll be interesting to see if Tony is just there as a mark with a cheque book getting to sign his favourite WWE2K characters or a serious CEO running a company.
Does he side with his EVPs or the talent he’s been fanboying over this whole time?

It is all so bizarre. The guy just won the belt in his home town and then he decides to shit on everyone (bar Adam Page lol) because he's pissed off at Hangman. I wonder if he'll be gone when MJF takes the belt off him.

Goldberg/Lesnar at SS 2016 was incredible - I remember being completely shocked how quickly they squashed Lesnar.
As an old WCW die-hard I absolutely loved Goldberg doing what he does best too. His look is the perfect wrestler prototype.

I remember I’d paused the Network to go to the toilet and noticed there was only like ten minutes left so assumed Lesnar was going to destroy Goldberg so once I started it back up I was waiting for the comeback. Absolutely did not see it playing out like it did and it was over so fast the fans were still pumped from the entrances they never had time to cool down before they were cheering the result. Its not often in recentish years that WWE has main events feel Big since its been the same faces for so long but that one really did.

Oh yeah, everything that was worth doing and seeing was in that one match.
Owens, Bray, Taker and the rest have all sucked.

Reports that Punk took a swing at one of the Bucks. So Suspension like Eddie right Tony?
I somehow doubt it.
Says a lot though that no ones talking about MJF.

The inevitable thing about all the Punk stuff is how years before he signed, apparently the Bucks, Kenny, Cody and Tony Khan had been bugging him with offers to All In, then All Out, then the eventual AEW promotion. They finally get him and they're seeing how toxic he is backstage. They're finding out all the old WWE guys were right.

Tony should know by now why WWE didn't try to get him back.
You've then apparently got Ace Steel trying to take a bite out of Omega.

WWE did try to get Punk back though (not including the FS1 show) - they reached out via intermediaries after he was on Fox, don't think discussions really got off the ground though.
All Out was pretty good but probably the weakest of their PPVs for a while, especially the non-existent build up to a lot of matches.
Loved the Christian/Jungle Boy development (Christian has been fantastic imo) and the tag title match and trios matches were excellent. Mox/Punk and Danielson/Jericho were good too. Great to see MJF back, shame it's been overshadowed by Punk throwing (seemingly) throwing his toys out of the pram.
If Punk's this much of an issue he needs to go - I'd rather have Page, Omega and the Bucks in the company over Punk, irrespective of his top tier mic status.

Wrestling observer mentioned it was Fox trying to pressure WWE to sign him but WWE refused due to attitude issues and a high asking price. www.sportskeeda.com/aew/rumor-reason-wwe-make-offer-cm-punk-signed-aew-reportsGoing off recent issues it was one of the last smart things Vince did in this business. Strowman getting one of the biggest pops all year only to then slip while running round the ring was pretty funny. |

Fair point - I thought you didn't belive Meltzer though as he 'spouted blatant crap'?

I did not expect Swerve in our Glory v The Acclaimed to be the best match of the night but they really pulled off something special, the crowd were amazing and it all came together so well.
