Thats a real gutter. Obviously for him as a person losing his career but also AEW really needs some star power at the top of the card snd he’s about as charismatic as they’ve got.
Over at WWE though - Drew, Owens, Sheamus, Dunne and the other one is a hell of a Wargames team. That match is going to be brutal.

Another great PPV from AEW, especially after the weakest build up I can remember.
Guessed right with how the main event played out - really looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Elite/Death Triangle was incredible.

Hang on - practically everyone in this thread completely shat on CM Punk after the scrum (rightfully so).
Now the fans are voicing that you're implying they're fickle?

Yeah Punk absolutely deserves that response after he bit the hand that fed him (millions) and trashed the fed that resurrected his career and put their world title on him.
It's almost as if *something* happened between the fans loving him and then turning on him.

They all acted like twats and if reports are true they went looking for the fight. Everyone surely knew Punk was a prick 7+ years ago?? |

Can anyone be surprised when he's still bitter at the company that made him millions, a household name, meet his wife and put him in the position to get all that from AEW. Why? because he didn't get the final match on a WM card. The thing is if he returns to either a large % will still cheer(cry) for him. |

Seems like Punk isn't the only one that's still bitter.

AEW fans turning on punk for doing to AEW what they praise him doing to WWE is funny. I don't think the "pipe bomb" is the same as the Media Scrum meltdown. For a start, the pipe bomb made him blow up in WWE whereas Scrumgate made him hated by AEW fans. |

It's not the on air WWE pipe bomb that made Punk notorious, it was the podcast he did with Colt where he trashed the company, the people there, the physicians, which also ultimately led to Punk and Colt's fallout and legal drama. I'd say it was at least on the level of the AEW media scrum, and it had a bigger fallout too.

I mean more going into business for himself and slagging the company and those in it in public. The pipe bomb was all approved and written with Vince anyways so that doesn't count.
All the stuff over the last 7 years though all goes back to him being upset he didn't get to be in the main event at WM.
Think he only had 1 fight in WWE which didn't go well for him but he was always causing issues and got punished for it.
Be interesting to see what happens once he's no longer injured which is probably the main reason he still has a contract with AEW.

Vince and Khan were both right not to push these guys to the main event - they haven't offered anything or shown any kind of growth in the last ten years. Great in the ring but offer very little outside of it. Bit like Yuta so far to be honest but at least he's a prospect.
RAW was the usual trash (from what I saw) - just seems to be spinning its' wheels.
Rhea Ripley is the best thing about it at the moment.

"Great in the ring but little outside of it" is the ENTIRE AEW roster, apart from MJF.

Yeah - wrestlers like Bryan, Jericho, Kingston, Caster, Baker, Moxley, Starks etc. can't cut a promo for shit.

Mox maybe, but he's trash in ring.

Each to their own I guess. I think he's had some great matches this year, particularly his most recent one against MJF.

The bit about Miro, hasn't he had a recurring injury as well as TV show filming?

Maybe signing literally everyone WWE let go for three years wasn’t the smoothest way to building a roster with room to give everyone a decent shot at tv time.
If he’s fit I can see Miro fitting right in on Impact at the moment. I bet him and Josh Alexander could have some fun matches.

Finished Full Gear -
Pre-show: ok
- Cage match and Trios match were incredible, I'm really surprised that Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus could put on such a great match together, it justified the long build. Death triangle and The Elite being great is no surprise and that 7-match series between them seems utterly mental but I'm intrigued. Having both these hot matches back to back was probably a mistake as it drained the crowd and it took a lot for them to get re-invested in any other match apart from the main event.
- Cargill match was a bit of a mess like all her matches that go over 3 minutes, she's fantastic at squashes and pulling off unique moves but rubbish at anything else. Crowd were dead for this.
- 4 way match started slow but they built the match well and they got the crowd in to it by the end. It was painfully obvious how much better Bryan Danielson and Claudio are at this wrestling malarkey than the other two (and I think Sammy and Jericho are pretty good), hopefully a 1v1 is in their future.
- Saraya v Britt was poorly put together given the amount of build it had, the match had rubbish flow, the finisher spam was was weak from Saraya and it weirdly felt like Britt forgot to how to do the bits in between the spots like interact with the crowd at certain points.
- Triple Threat was decent with an unexpected finish, I think with a hot crowd my opinion would of it would probably be better but they were still a bit asleep for this.
- Sting and Darby in another fun clusterfuck, probably not as good as the others they've done but it's hard to get too down on these entertainingly brain-dead matches.
- Women's title match was a banger, Jamie and Toni are fantastic and a cut above most of the roster, they know how to wrestle with impact and keep a match flowing well. All the interference didn't quite work for me but I guess it's an excuse for another match.
- Tag Title match, final match in the trilogy is the worst of the lot with a sleepy crowd, not a patch on their first match at All Out.
- Main Event was fantastic, Mox revelled in wrestling as the heel and any match with MJF always flows well and gets me invested, the finish was obvious but AEW nearly always do the obvious things well. I Loved it and the crowd did too.
