Complete lack of reaction to some mild booing
And now it seems he's done an interview with ESPN that will apparently piss off a lot of people. I'm guessing Punks going heel.

Punk not even back 5 minutes and he's going all in on Hangman again. The guy is so hilariously thin skinned.

Hoping for a nuclear hot atmosphere on Saturday, Jay white and Samoa Joe are hard not to cheer for so punk will be heel whether he wants it or not.

Glad to have Punk back, he's a wanker (who isn't in wrestling?) but at least he's entertaining - give him 5 minutes on the microphone and he'll be getting some sort of reaction. Would love a no fucks given heel Punk.

Had totally forgotten Collision starts this week. Was glad it got included on AEW+ on the Fite App but apparently it's being broadcast on ITV4 as well.

Is he actually any good at wrestling? Because people have been talking about him on here for about a year now and I don't think anyone has ever mentioned him in an actual match.

Punk?
He's one of the best at building a story in the ring and conducting the crowd, but is horribly exposed when trying anything athletic.

Not particularly great. He's okay. His mic skills are where he excels, but that's mostly because he's actually a prick.

Punk was fine in the ring but pretty broken now. Never could do the Macho elbow though.
I do find it funny though that many fans choose to ignore the fact that he's most famous promo was done with help from Vince.
Much more believable as a heel.
Guys a twat but this drama wasn't and still isn't all him.

Looks like Collision will have the best theme song since the Dokken days on NWA Powerrr

Yeah Punk’s best days are long behind him. Quitting after his WWE run wouldn’t have been a terrible idea, instead of kidding himself he was good enough to do MMA.
He’s a strong personality. For better or worse.

I always read this thread, just for general updates. Haven't been able to watch for a number of years, so I feel like slightly less of a perv when I ask "who is that"

Skye Blue. That actually seems to be the most popular thing from the show on twitter.
Shows promise as a wrestler.

I’ve liked the few matches of hers I’ve seen. She’s kind of like AEW’s Roxanne Perez. Might want to come up with another ring name though, because searching results in.. someone else.

She's had a couple of matches in front of a home crowd this week and they've been a lot of fun, she's come along way and her finisher is one of the best Code Reds out there.
I thought Collision last night had a fantastic start and continues AEW's hot streak with live shows, the crowd was ridiculous throughout. Punk's promo didn't disappoint, TNT title was a nice hoss battle with a fun finish and the Buddy Matthews v Andrade match was an engrossing banger that has me looking forward to what House of Black are doing again.
Miro's back and no one is better at doing squashes than him, love hearing the crowd shout "game over!" The women's doubles was a good one as mentioned, all 4 looked solid, but the outsiders stuff is just spinning it's wheels with no end-game in sight.
The trios was a marathon but one I thoroughly enjoyed, Punk looked rusty (work/shoot? - no idea), a good example of a match with a self contained story that tries to build tension and an antidote to the usual spot fest trios match (although I love a good spot fest). Samoa Joe is ridiculously intimidating and charismatic - those chops!
I am worried that having 2 live shows a week in the same territory is ultimately going to harm both shows as the AEW crowd gets split and fatigued between the two, and that the CM Punk fanbase is intermingled with the Cornette fanbase, but I'll try and enjoy the ride for the next few months anyway.

Would love to be proven wrong. Punk with another top class promo - nobody in the business cuts a promo like him, he's practically untouchable on the mic. "I'm sorry you're softer than the wrestlers you follow". Brilliant stuff. Great ending to Smackdown too - a pretty great week for a wrestling fan all in all!

You get the the sense in 20 years time Regins/USO's will still be feuding.

Yeah, it's been going on far too long but at least it looks like we're near the end now. Had some fantastic moments though.

I’m fascinated where it goes next because I don’t see Jimmy or Jey as credible champions.
I suppose the easy way out would be to have Roman drop the titles to someone else in a match where their interference costs him the belts. Then you have the title holder move off in one direction and have his own matches and Roman fights the Usos in his own matches.
But who would be taking the Big Show placeholder champ role?

I'm still saying Cody will be the one to take it off him. Which if the case Romans holding on till next years WM.

Main Event Jey Uso or bust.
Should’ve been Sami in Montreal, but Jey been building for a few years now.

Wonder if Solo turns on him at MitB.
Then him vs Jey at SS.

Definitely needs to be a blow-off match with The Uso's and Roman but like most here I don't see any of the Uso's thriving in a solo run.
It's strange because whoever beats Roman clean will get a huge rub but I can't see them giving that to Jimmy or Jey. Knowing Vince he'll probably have Cody beat Roman with the help of Jimmy or Jey and the rub will be non-existent.

Or Logan Paul cashes in MITB on him

Post by baihu1983 on Jun 20, 2023 16:59:06 GMT
I reckon whoever wins MitB cashes in on the IC or US title. I don't like them being eligible for the cash in now.
Ciampa vs Gunther please.
Also the guy is simply over..
