“AEW locker room is SAD & EMBARRASSED over CM Punk situation.” | UPDATE: “CM PUNK PUT MY SAFETY, SECURITY & LIFE IN DANGER! HE’S FIRED!” - TONY KHAN

Did he really sign some NDA to not name drop those guys? That’s extremely corny and bytch made if true. Straight up Shawn Michaels diva shyt from the Young Shmucks.

Feels like everyone is trying to make it work but on the side, The Bucks tell Dave "I fukking HATE this guy" and Meltz goes and hits the panic button to drive more people to his content

It's probably still Jericho stirring

Did all that work just for Punk to sidestep him & decide to work somebody else in his return. Jericho probably said fukk it & went right back to sending shyt to Meltzer. It's the perfect setup too since everyone will just point at the Bucks & their crew after all the reports of Jericho trying to mend fences.

SRS said the issues in the lockeroom(division on punk promo/interview) arent as bad as dave is making it seem.

800k with a returning Punk on a brand new show is not a good look. If TNT expects that number then there's no issue, but if they expect him to produce higher numbers than Dynamite then this was a kick to the balls. The reality is that they need to treat Dynamite and Rampage like the WWE treated RAW and Smackdown before the OG brand split. Both shows need to be treated like the A show and their talent needs to suck it up, and stop acting like wrestling 2x a week is torture. Collision should've never been a thing to begin with.

Listen to Meltzer day I see

When did Meltzer start acting so weird about AEW?


Meltzer was such a dikkeater for AEW at one point. It was at the point where it seemed like he was on the payroll. He didn’t even hide that he was choosing up. My brother was all in.


These days he seems to be on some weird shyt with them tho, and puts out a lot of unfavorable nonsense about them that be low key cap


When did this shift happen, and why?

Him being regularly wrong and double talking about Punk happened.

It began early last year. When the Page vs Cole feud started and the Punk/Elite rift was something only they (and a couple of people, Dave included) knew about, plus WWE began to get really good numbers in attendance and slowly getting ratings back to a positive level.

Dave's narrative went from "AEW is clicking on all cylinders and WWE could be in trouble" to "WWE is doing great business right now and AEW has some stuff they gotta deal with".

On what planet were they thinking a show on a Saturday that routinely goes up against the NCAA and UFC and people going out would do better than their weekday primetime show breh


They like AEW enough that its a content filler for them and thats why they gave them a Saturday show but I think everyone has realsitic projections for the weekend slot

 

[prophecypro]

Punk finally showing up on TV has picked up the Canada show tickets. These were sitting on 2k a couple of days. Not sure about that Hamilton show but numbers looking healthy elsewhere

Are we going to pretend that every wrestling fan is going out partying on the weekend? They basically got the same number Dynamite has been getting, and this was with the return of Punk and debuting a new show. Punk is always treated like he's on the same level as Hogan, Austin, and Rock, but the expectations for him are always mid-card level. 800k with no competition and a returning star is not a good number no matter how people try to spin it. Like I said, If WBD is fine with the number then that's all that matters.

You left out how they had to drastically reduce their ticket prices. They have a "3 for me" deal and the tickets range from 15-25 dollars.

If this shyt isn’t leading to a feud these mu fukkas are petty high school divas.
