I should have been clearer from the start, but the reasons some fans disliked Goldberg's more recent runs and title wins, are factors that aren't shared with CM Punk. In that sense, the meme, which is intended to label AEW fans as hypocritical, falls flat on its face.

Not saying Punk is a bigger draw than Goldberg or that there aren't hypocritical AEW fans.

Just saying that meme is hot garbage.
I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think you can separate why a promotion puts the belt on a guy in any situation. It’s to make money. It’s very cute to be like “well, technically Punk’s younger and does more moves,” but I think that is actually missing the point.

You don’t have to like the meme because you can distance the two, but there’s definitely a comparison to be made that is applicable to some. The irony of “Lol, WWE pushes old guys!” wasn’t lost on me when Chris Jericho was champion either.
