I don't mind people not liking Punk. Surely more people should be more vocal about their dislike for their opponents no? And with someone like Drew, I like the consistency. Why shouldn't he carry on with that? Why can't Kevin dislike him?

Give me more genuine consistent hatred of other people.

But it all alludes to stuff that happened behind the curtain, or in the mists of time.

I personally think it's boring. I want to watch a show that's based on itself, and things happen that I can see, interpret and enjoy watching the consequences unfold.

For me, it'd be like if 'what's in the box' at the end of Seven is a load of notes about how Kevin Spacey is a problematic sex pest and that's why Brad Pitt's character goes crazy. It's nonsense. Just make telly better.

I thought Owens was great in that. "Why are the chairs this way round"

As amusing as Kevin is doing this stuff, there’s a real sense of having-your-cake-and-eating-it with WWE.

They clearly trust Kevin and recognise that he’s one of the best performers, with one of the sharpest minds. But if they’re willing to give him the freedom to take the piss like this, why don’t they actually stop, listen, and consider not being so fucking weird?

Spare a thought for Aleister Black. He must be gutted watching this. Extremely cheeky of the company to give him the sack, yet continue to host segments in his Pocket Dimension of Empty Nothingness.

The scripting was dog shit, too. Remember the first promo they cut, where they specifically stated that they weren’t going to refer to insider bollocks? Now Kevin’s making references to CM Punk, “hating T-shirts,” based on CM Punk slagging him off for wrestling in a T-shirt thirty years ago.

Rubbish.

All that black void stuff reminds me of is old episodes of Alas Smith & Jones.

Just generally weird to book a feud around CM Punk being a not nice person when the other guy is Kevin Owens who has spent years on TV being a dastardly backstabbing heel.

It's why the blurring of kayfabe is so illogical. OK, so Punk was a bit of a dick to Kevin 20 years ago in an indie lockerroom but I saw Kevin betray his best friend and smash his head through a TV screen which is way worse.
