I don't understand where the CM Punk revisionist history comes from. He was the hottest act in wrestling when it needed a kick in the butt. If it wasn't for Rock/Cena, he'd have headlined 2 WrestleManias in a row. He kept me engaged. He was an incredible worker in the sense that he actually understands ring psychology. I understand he can be a twat and that causing some of the hate but is the UFC failure really that big of a deal? At the risk of sounding iike Jim Cornette (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), 85% of the AEW and WWE don't look like they could beat anyone's ass in a shoot.

CM Punk and DBry single handedly are going to make me watch AEW consistently and maybe even purchase a PPV if they don't have them involed with some of the cartoonish shit AEW has. CM Punk is a STAR and he can give programs the drama and psychology that makes real money. CM Punk didn't feel out of place with The Rock, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, or Brock Lesnar. He had an aura about him and that is because you knew the chip on his shoulder was real and you know his drive to shove it up everyone's ass was real. DBry's journey is comparable to Mick Foley, only he got a greater moment.

This is actually a legitimate oppurtunity for AEW to hook some lapsed fans if they don't turn them off with wrestling dinosaurs and flipamanias that mean nothing. Jericho/Gage is a terrible way to use Jericho. Gage is a piece of shit and shouldn't be on a national wrestling show.
