aew is the tale of 2 spectrums. it get little to no criticism from its fandom and gets nothing but criticism from its detractors. its very much the same kind of tribalism thats infected every level of modern culture. objectivity is dead. long live absolutism.

*breaks character for a moment*

This is ridiculous. So many of yall screech and whine about Xrod like children. He is owning all of you, over and over again, every day. All he has to do when ya'll start giving him shit because you don't like his opinions and he won't bend the knee is post a stupid, low effort, non-sensical meme that took him 15 seconds to make and you all lose your shit like a bunch of vapid loons. It's like a master class on trolling from 2004. Ya'll talk about him being childish and you can't even refrain from overreacting and responding to his schtick ON QUEUE. It's fucking embarrassing. Jesus Christ.

Stop feeding the troll. Nobody is pwning anyone. Everyone is miserable.

Bringing up a valid concern isn't an overreaction nor does it mean that we're acting like children. However posting "stupid, low effort, non-sensical meme that took him 15 seconds to make" may qualify as such. At the end of the day it is his prerogative. Trolling is immature and the problem lies on both sides. Looking at you #1-wwf-fan. Their back and forth makes some of the threads unreadable.

Stop calling it a "master class in trolling", it's too funny.

My bias is towards 80's and 90's Japanese wrestling, so everything I've ever said about AEW is STRAIGHT SHOOTIN'

Destor 05-16-2022 01:15 AM
i think pretty clearly im not in either camp. my loyalty is to a product that makes sense. doesnt matter who makes it. its a pretty low bar tbh. my preferences are wrestling presented as sport. no one did that better than japan until the midish 00s. really when Misawa died it all shifted pretty hard.

Fignuts 05-16-2022 01:21 AM
It was actually Cody who originally stated AEW would have a more grounded, sports base presentation, and I wonder if AEW clearly not being that played a part in his departure.

Destor 05-16-2022 01:24 AM
cody was usurped by the money mark. in codys mind there was to be a very different company with cody driving creative. look back on the early days, pre-aew even, and youll see the core concept was somethin very different. and imo much better.

I think you have the plot backwards. This happened because I had valid criticisms of Punk, and the pushback was " you are dumb, you can't read, fuck you, Punk banged your girlfriend" etc.

My opinion of Punk hasn't changed, it is all the same as it was before he ever came back.

The fact that he bailed on all the fans that still to this day chant for him says it all.

He even had some early buzz/rumors of going out for the Negan role on Walking Dead. Prior to him really slimming down for MMA, he more closely resembled the comic version of Negan than Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

If he would have landed that role instead of doing MMA and being on stupid reality shows, he would be far better off today than he is, instead of a bitter 40 year old who still acts like a 15 year old angst riddled punk rocker.

I also thought it was especially embarrassing that one of the things he complained about was how Miz main evented Mania but Phil never did, like Miz was beneath him and it was a slap in his face. Then fast forward a few years and he is getting embarrassed on an MTV reality show competition that happened to be hosted by Miz. Karma right there

Punk has simply been gone too long and failed so hard on everything since leaving WWE, I just don't see him getting back up to that level.

No matter how good Punk is on the mic, who can ever remotely believe that guy could win a fight against anybody but the Marko Stunt's or Peter Avalon's?

Nobody who saw those UFC fights is going to look at Punk as being able to beat Miro or Archer, or outwrestle anybody with any real skill. Its the biggest obstacle he has, moreso than not having a match for 7 and a half years, moreso them him weighing like 165 pounds now, moreso than hum being almost 43.

CM Punk is not the guy he was during his peak 2011-2012 run, and much like what happened in 2013 and 2014 when he quit, Bryan is going to outshine him, and how long until that eats him up and he gets bitter like the malcontent he is.

Then fast forward a few years and Miz not only had his successful wrestling career, but thanks to his MTV roots got to host shows like The Challenge on MTV.

Then remember how Punk was on that very same show and got dominated by a dude named Johnny Bananas???

I think maybe that is why they are *wink winking* him coming in so much, because after the initial return in his hometown, is anybody honestly not going to be immediately looking forward to the New York show and Bryan Danielson?

Punk seems like filler until Bryan shows up.

I imagine it had something to do with it. Any interest they had in presenting themselves as a serious sport went out the window early on imo. No one is buying the flippy, no selling, finisher spamming spot fests as serious sport.

That said I'm still happy to go see Dynamite in July.

I remember going to the original Fyter Fest. It was only their 2nd or 3rd show overall at that point. Had a VERY different feel to it, especially being there.

Still the weirdest thing to me is how over Darby quickly got because at FF everyone in the crowd was crapping all over him hard. I dunno if they covered the crowd or what for the TV feed but it was BAD.

They had flippy shit, garbage wrestling and druids dressed like giant penises mixed in with the “serious” stuff on the first All In. Pre-Tony Khan. It was never really that different.

Destor 05-16-2022 01:45 AM

With that being said, it's high time you two squashed this feud. It's been long overdue. It's going nowhere. Just be respectful and go your separate ways. Maybe you two will get a tag team run in the future.

They should have a busy and exciting main event scene with the names and talent they have under contract, but somehow they are underutilizing almost every single one of them. Punk and Bryan were the most popular wrestlers in the world at one stage, and they have been atrocious since coming in. They have wasted so much potential.

What I don’t get is the constant painting of WWE in a positive light. They have the name and reputation, sure, but their product is arguably worse than AEW and their prime show is unwatchable. I don’t get why you are so severe on AEW, but let WWE off the hook.

Their acts are so much staler than those in AEW. I can only imagine an 100 million lead in to Raw getting to watch Happy Corbin, Doloh Ziggler and the most tired stable in wrestling, New Day, aiding them navigate 3 hours of trash.

All the same problems exist. As an example, instead of giving us a compelling New Day break up that could have elevated two guys into an intriguing world title feud, they just half ass it and keep them together because the guys enjoy it and it sells merch. The reunion would sell the merch too, give us the story first!

There is no compelling TV, there is no selling or psychology, and there is nothing to make you want to care about the story, but it goes for both companies. They are both making the same mistakes.

Great matches was never what wrestling was about, and it wasn’t why the majority of people tuned in. Austin’s best run came at his most immobile because the story and the character had people hooked and gave us a true star. It’s the stories and the stars and it always was. I think that fact is lost to both companies.
I tend to watch highlights which makes the product way less stale to me. And it’s a comparative thing. I REALLY don’t like AEW. Part of what annoys me so much about it is that it had this potential to be something else and really change the landscape. It’s made a lot of what the WWE does look sane to me. I appreciate the steady hand they seem to have more than I did when I was one of the loudest critics here. And look, they do have the best main event scene, the best tag division and the best women’s division in the world. I don’t know how anyone can really argue against that.

This is 100% on the money.

I remember when people called AEW out on having inconsistent rules in the beginning. Cody got on Twitter and was like “I don’t think you’ll be seeing that again.” Welp…

There was very clearly a vision difference between Cody and Tony. I think that wedge still exists between AEW and some of its more talented roster members. And I think that gives them finite time to utilize some of these people.

Sepholio 05-16-2022 12:03 PM
The tag division is the only one that can really be argued right now but I'm with you in thinking WWE is still better. It wouldn't be close if WWE merged the tag divisions.

Don't get me wrong, AEW has a few good teams. But FTR is the only one worth a damn in the grand scheme of things rn. The Bucks suck as they always have and always will. Who else really matters as a tag team rn? I guess I'd say the potential is absolutely there for them to have the better tag division. They have most of the pieces already (they really needed to talk warner into letting them sign The Briscos) they just haven't been put into the right places yet. Really think they should lean into it more and try to make that their thing.

Yeah, I’m counting the teams across the shows since they can very quickly remedy their separation and mix them around as they see fit. It’s FTR in AEW. That’s it. I will count The Bucks for that audience, even though I completely agree that they suck. Danielson & Moxley?

I mean, you count Edge & Priest and Styles & Balor and you’ve trumped that right there. RKBro, Alpha Academy and the Street Profits take Raw way over the top alone.

Through his membership in a local Moose Club, Gacy became aware of a "Jolly Joker" clown club, whose members regularly performed at fundraising events and parades in addition to voluntarily entertaining hospitalized children.[43] In late 1975, Gacy joined the clown club and created his own clown characters "Pogo the Clown" and "Patches the Clown", devising his own makeup and costumes. He described Pogo as a "happy clown", whereas Patches was a "more serious" character.[49]

He briefly portrayed a third clown known as "Punky the Clown", who was a whiny bitch clown, however he quickly abandoned the persona as it consisted of getting beaten up by children and failing to maintain an audience.[50]

To be fair, it’s across all their different networks. But I wonder if Chopped fans think it is a bigger deal than baseball now? It’s amazing when AEW fanboys are shocked that the TV networks that host AEW want a return on it, and take them promoting that as an amazingly positive sign for them.

Mr. Nerfect 05-18-2022 06:33 PM
Hang on — is AEW actually having Page cut promos on Punk breaking kayfabe by accusing him of structuring his matches like Bret Hart? Fucking idiots.

The drama comes from people emotionally investing in the sincerity of the action. If you shatter the illusion that someone is actually trying to win a match as opposed to putting on a fictional artistic performance, there is no point to the drama. Why have championships? Why ring the bell?

This is Vince Russo shit. It doesn’t make Page more “real.” It makes everything look fake as shit. There are only a select few people who are going to put cash in the collection plate after the preacher tells them God isn’t real.

Lock Jaw 05-18-2022 07:28 PM
Is he phrasing it that way? Structuring matches? That would be highly dumb. If he just says Bret Hart wannabe/copycat then that is ok.

I think it was on Dynamite. I heard about it through Cornette’s podcast. You wouldn’t think it would be on Rampage, but you never know.

xrodmuc316 05-19-2022 03:12 PM
It was a few Dynamites ago, when they had Page do a heel turn the week before going to Long Island where Punk gets booed and acted like a heel. Then they had Page barely beat some complete unknown Japanese wrestler using the GTS ppl, so now he is the heel again, I guess...

Like everything involving Punk, it is devoid of all logic and sucks.

Mr. Nerfect 05-19-2022 03:55 PM
They’ve failed Page as a babyface BIG TIME.

XL 05-19-2022 05:53 PM
I saw the crowd was cheering Punk over Page this week. They’ve done an awful job with some of their positioning of talent recently. The whole thing with Sami & Tay and Men of the Year and Lambert is very muddled right now.

I think this is where we start to see the actual damage done by letting Cody go. Cody could put on the nice looking suit and represent his company in a competent manner to advertisers and the like. But no, he isn't worth as much as CM Punk.

No one in AEW has media training, apart from Paul Wight and Mark Henry who are both not being used in that role, let alone social media training. WWE sees that as a necessity, to the point that the training begins at the Performance Center. No one represented AEW specifically at the Upfronts for Discovery. Roman Reigns represented WWE for Fox. Miz and Bianca represented WWE for USA.

Cody never got his ass kicked so badly he is the prime example of a laughing stock for an entire sport. Cody doesn't get into flame wars with random people on Twitter. Cody is not viewed as a complete joke outside of 900,000 Dubbalos. Cody's Mania return is bigger than anything Phil ever did in the business. Cody is worth about 20 CM Punks, because pretty much everybody in wrestling who has any credibility is worth 20 CM Punks.

I sure hope not but damn if it didnt feel like he was on dynamite. Had some face bloat going on and was slurring constantly.

Evil Vito 05-20-2022 12:25 PM
I didn't notice much bloat but the slurring is kinda just the way he's always talked in his promo style.

Definitely hope he's not back on anything. If he is, Jericho's rehab comments are a bit more oof.

I’d like to believe he is not, but addiction is a fucking horrid thing. Slurring your words with a bloated face doesn’t occur willy-nilly. I hope he’s not. Just for him and his family’s sake.
