But jeez Fightful can't even proof their shyt before posting? Trying to get it up online so quick.

If making it to the top of AEW and drawing ratings and PPV buys doesnt mean anything, and only making it to the top of WWE counts, then what the fukk is someone like Punk doing in AEW? Go back to HHH and see how that fares. Hangman Adam Page is probably the very last person on the AEW roster id let walk to WWE given all of the facts at play.

Lol I feel like a lot of AEW fans confuse being over with that audience with being a star. Hangman’s reach isn’t bigger than even Jericho’s, let alone Punks. Being over with that already niche fanbase doesn’t mean what you think it does


Orange Cassidy and Hook are over with that audience and get huge pops for literally existing. If you think they’re huge stars, boy let me tell ya…



I’m not ragging on Hangman. Love dude. He’s great.. but the guy has 200k IG followers and ya’ll comparing him to dudes with 5 million that are recognized in the real world outside of a pro wrestling ring and actually have the reach to bring in outside eyes. Not that I’m hanging my hat on social media followings, but cmon…

Jericho and Punk are a decade plus older than Page and been in the spotlight way longer. Of course they would have more buzz at this point. Hangman has only been on national TV for a few years.

I can see where you coming from, but Hangman should easily be the top guy in the company, at least the top face. Book him like so, with good feuds that connect with the audience, his following will grow.

And you can't compare meme wrestlers like Hook or Orange Cassidy to Hangman. Hook will get a pop, but he ain't challenging for a world title and best believe they aren't taking him serious over someone like Mox. Until they and their story can get a reaction like this:



Ain't no comparison to me.

I don't think anyone who even has a cursory knowledge of the history of the business expects any pro wrestling promotion to be devoid of carny bs, but this just feels chaotic and unprofessional in a way that, even if it's a work, feels unnecessary.

And at the end of the day, whether you cast more blame of Punk, Page, The Elite, whoever...Khan is the dude that's supposed to keeping all of them in check and right now it's looking a little like the inmates are running the asylum. And I know that to a certain extent "all publicity is good publicity" I just feel like the focus should be less on backstage shenanigans and more about what's happening onscreen. Cause all this stuff has straight up overshadowed every bit of what actually happened at the PPV, including MJF's return.

did yall watch the scrum? literally nobody brought up colt but punk. then he goes on a 10 minute tirade that started with the colt mention. WORK WORK WORK

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Pulling hair and bitting dudes like bytches how yall lose a 3 on 2 fight against 2 middle aged men allegedly

 

[get my pool]

I never liked any of the elite so anybody that pulls their cards is cool with me

Plus, like I been saying, nobody knows them and they’re not real draws. Punk got them 1M viewers, that trios match lost viewers

From a guy who used to write hundreds of articles a year for a job, proof reading your own work isn't as easy as you think it is.

Punk has to be suspended either for real (if all of this is shoot) or in kayfabe (if this is a work) since it's widely known news on the IWC that Eddie Kingston got suspended for real two weeks for slapping Sammy Guevara.

But let's just go with this is all a shoot...

If you don't give Punk a bigger suspension than Eddie got, then that is going to be severely problematic. Rather real or kayfabe, no way to justify not bringing the hammer down on him and expect to have any credibility whatsoever as a leader of the company.

Punk is going to have to have a short leash on his promos. He still needs the creative freedom he has on the mic, but he needs to be told that there is a zero tolerance policy for him shooting. He took the freedom he was granted and completely abused it, you have to check him on that.

Ace Steel has to be fired. He's a coach/producer. He's expendable.

Omega and the Bucks should be stripped of their EVP positions. If they are leaking fake news then that is 100% unacceptable for an EVP. Even if they are only leaking real news it shouldn't be happening. And if what I read is true that they stormed Punk's locker room, they should be suspended too.

They need to just eliminate this post-PPV media scrum stuff entirely. Tony comes off terribly in every single one of them and everything about this last one is beyond the pale.

Tony Khan needs to hire someone that's going to start checking the talent in the locker room. Doesn't seem like the locker room has any respect for him and there appears to be a void of leadership amongst the talent.
