Dude is so washed... He's so water down in the ring to the point where I really question is this worse than WWE Ric Flair? Ric Flair atleast was a master storyteller. Jericho was never a great storyteller and this honestly never gets talked about enough to be honest. Great technical worker throughout his career, but his match ceiling are always dependent on which person could tell the best story.

I mean, that's literally not true. AEW was never as popular and had more positive press than after All Out 2021. All Out 2022 was basically a surge in viral news and bad press.

They need to start looking at ratings again (specifically of their segments) and attendance and understand business

That's gonna be Punk's "revenge". He's gonna say he wanted to come back and make shyt work so the fans would get what they wanted but the Elite couldn't get out of their own ass and didn't want to make shyt work
Answering your question, it's true that in their minds, there's no need for a Punk return. But at the same time, those dudes LOVE the perception AEW fans have of them so if the narrative starts turning against them, they might break and do business. I think they are frail like that

this is exactly how I see it, punk finessing the whole situation to appear like hes being the bigger person to repair his public perception while the other side looks bad for not wanting to squash it and do business, that way when he leaves he doesnt have the "punk is too toxic to work with" stigma attached to himThat's gonna be Punk's "revenge". He's gonna say he wanted to come back and make shyt work so the fans would get what they wanted but the Elite couldn't get out of their own ass and didn't want to make shyt work

And it was Dynamite's best every week they did it. It was a formula that should've been the staple. That and a Dante Martin showcase every week would've money

He’s playing his hand so far away from the table it’s legitimately hilariousI'm starting to see why hhh, rvd and everybody hated on Jericho.
“Man, all y’all lucky I wasnt there when it happened”
I read the Dax comments the same way a lot of y'all do too, total attempt to put pressure on Tony Khan to bring him back and make the Elite look like heels for "not allowing it".
I enjoy both sides as performers and don't have a real dog in the fight, but I woulda let the door hit Punk's ass on the way out just based on the press conference. Between that and the Adam Page callout, at the end of the day, Punk only cares about himself and will burn down everything around him if he doesn't get his way. Why risk it again?

This is why wrestlers should never be in positions of power.
