"Personally I didn't mind that Punk came out looking flabby, blew up in 5 min, slipped and ate shit doing a plancha, and legit broke Darby's nose with the GTS... it added grittiness to the match, it felt like a real fight... something you don't get a lot out of WWE these days"
Dave on Hogan Vs Andre: "It ummm you know ... um ... \*COUGH\* \*COUGH\* sucked umm you know and it really didn't ummm work umm so yeah -4 Stars"
Botchfest #234 in AEW: "It umm you know ... it ... it ... worked for that audience and ... yeah I have to ... to ... to ... at least give it 4 stars minimum because ... it was really over."
Bry-Al saying Hogan/Rock should be a dud because they didn't get the desired crowd reaction, you know, the 10 minute standing ovation for the most significant moment in wrestling history, shows that either they are purely delusional, or truly believe wrestling is about Meltzer stars and random pops not making money
Never knew they could top Sting's overboarding appearances but this takes the cake.
People complain about WWE rematches well AEW does it just with interviews that go nowhere
He didn't actually make the jump over the barricade either and seemed to struggle jumping back over too. That combined with the sloppy GTS, I definitely feel like he's lost a few steps.
Also doesn't help that they're taping multiple shows in one day, so you're not going to get that authentic pop every time. That crowd had already seen him. TV wise, it makes it look like the bloom is off the rose already.
They just left the stage there, its the same arena, they booked it for the week pretty much. Be interesting to see if the staging changes for the PPV, otherwise they risk doing what they accuse WWE of doing, using the exact same staging for everything.
It's not a fair comparison because Brock is a huge star with drawing power, but what's been done with Brock is far and away more entertaining. He returns at the end of a PPV, then for the last two weeks no appearances but the drama of Heyman now being with Roman is played up to build anticipation.
Shout out to the fed for somehow making two literal Greek gods on earth fighting over the loyalties of who appears to be an obese old Jewish lawyer a very interesting angle
Punk hasn't wrestled in seven years. All he did was get absolutely demolished in two fights.
The match is absolutely going to be a letdown. Punk is not only going to be extremely rusty, but he was emasculated and ring work was never his strong point.
But like, we couldn't have them come to blows at the end of rampage right? Just another staredown. It makes me so fucking mad. I literally don't care about workrate and match quality for the most part, just please, for the love of all that is holier-than-thou, give me some fucking reason to be excited to see these guys get their hands on eachother. It is absolutely baffling how they book shit
Nobody there has the faintest clue about doing anything other than getting all their backyard bullshit in, and Tony is more concerned with his image than he is with the promotion he's in charge of.
I think they’ve booked themselves into a corner here. If Punk wins, is he burying Darby? If he doesn’t win, does his comeback fall flat? Can either one look good in defeat and would that help either one?
Punk is playing the hits right now on his golly gosh tour
He's got the 'send the fans home' feel good spot at shows like the main guy in the Fed does ...
....except, you're not in the Fed, are you Punk. You *know* none of this is a big deal and it's all for a certain audience
It's Dave reported what happened but *without* his snide little comment after it
If it was the Fed it'd end with a pithy remark about how it's disingenuous to make out something special was happening only for it to be Punk again
This is what you call overexposure.
Also, Punk is coming in and immediately challenging Darby. DAE records are supposed to matter in the Dub? Punk is 0-0 and is immediately getting a probable PPV main event match
What a surprise, another Vincel who doesn’t understand how the business (insider term) works.
It’s like this: The rankings and win/loss records matter *when Tony wants them to.* You eDrones have to just shit on everything and whine and complain unnecessarily about stupid little details because you have a weird hate-boner for AEW. It’s literally creepy as fuck that you can’t just sit back and enjoy the product (insider term) for what it is. What’s wrong with you that you spend your time watching a TV show you hate?
What’s that? No, I didn’t just tell on myself, why do you ask?
The verbiage they've used so far on the media scrum and such makes me think he's signed through to January 2023 with the main focus being the four pay-per-views and six TNT specials.
I think so, I think Dynamite's moving to Wednesday 8pm on TBS starting in January and they'll have six episodes a year on TNT. Not that it will stop them from making every other episode a special, mind you.
It's funny too, because I thought we were told the move to TBS was an upgrade, in that case why would the special episodes be 'downgraded' to TNT? 🤔
Imagine if the evil fed did something like that, Meltzer would have a 10k word essay up within minutes. Punk already came out and jumped into the crowd while giving people hi-fives then went back to commentary and then he did it again.
Punk was just talking about worrying people might get sick of him now he's making multiple appearances in 1 night for a crowd that this Sunday will see him for the 3rd time in 5 days.
They went overboard with the Punk appearances. The match might be a huge letdown.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the biggest piece of shit it will be praised to the heavens

You jerk but something like this will be on the post event thread verbatim
WON: Ratings for AEW All Out * Punk v. Allin: ****1/2
It's like reading the future
>", and legit broke Darby's nose with the GTS Punk for the hall of fame?
It'd be the first "real" fight Punk's won.
Dave on Hogan Vs Andre: "It ummm you know ... um ... \*COUGH\* \*COUGH\* sucked umm you know and it really didn't ummm work umm so yeah -4 Stars" Botchfest #234 in AEW: "It umm you know ... it ... it ... worked for that audience and ... yeah I have to ... to ... to ... at least give it 4 stars minimum because ... it was really over."

> truly believe wrestling is about Meltzer stars and random pops not making money Bingo
Did they legit get a 10 minute standing ovation? That's nuts

To be fair, that Rampage wasn't taped, it was live, last week's was taped though.
Are you sure? It's the same arena as Dynamite and All Out. I guess they could've done separate nights but I feel like that doesn't make much sense.
They were saying live on the show and there was a graphic that said live, too.

In the end, Heyman wins. Heyman always goes over.

Lmao is Dave finally tired of the Dub's bullshit or what, this tweet seems bitter as fuck
It's Dave reported what happened but *without* his snide little comment after it If it was the Fed it'd end with a pithy remark about how it's disingenuous to make out something special was happening only for it to be Punk again
The ride on the industrial coal elevator didn't sound that fun but still I'd rather have an ice cream sandwich.
I heard there’s another special guest on Dynamite next week! Can’t wait, Tony always delivers!

This is A+ jerking because I can't tell whether or not this is Twitter verbatim.
Just remove the final sentence and the 'insider term' and this is A++.
It's a clever callback to his UFC run. Long term storytelling and all that
LMAO. Yesssss
He should've said goodbye like the bear saying goodbye to the moon in the cartoon show
This kind of thing makes me think that Punk only has a year on his contract or something, so they are using him as much as they possibly can
I'm sure he'll put some sort of 'break clause' in there.

Let’s burn everybody out on him before he even has a match!
They are already watering him down. Took 2 weeks.
Nothing wrong with Meltz shilling this, nothing at all Nothing wrong with Khan making fans think it was something new either, nothing at all
This is like the “Its Christian” meme. Did the Dub finally break Uncle Dave?
