Look, Punk represents what I want in wrestling which is a major reason why I'm on team Punk. Whether he's an ass hat or not he knows wrestling, wrestling history and respects it. The style he preferres is what I prefer and when he's around we get more of that.
I'm not a fan of cartoon characters, flippidy shit, kicking out after a devastating piledriver on a chair, blood in every match and all that. I want stories and rivalries that pull me in. Telling and advancing those stories while in the ring during matches. I don't feel I get that with what The Elite or TK do on their own. Its just matches thrown out there because "it'll be a good match". There's little in the way of build and its all over after a couple of weeks.
I want Punk there because he knows what people like me want and I don't want that to go away from AEW. The structure is there where the best in wrestling can happen which can't always be done in the WWE format. If Punk leaves again, more opportunities will be missed and it sucks when those go by the wayside.
