Merzbow Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I remember this place hating Punk for the longest time, I'm getting nostalgic right now. Bring in Nash, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 What the hell was with the attack on Dragon Lee at the end? Unless there's something I missed that came out of nowhere. Agree that JR needs sacking. I just try to block him out these days which is hard work. Loved Omega's return. As stated already, the state of Punk's punches though to be honest Mox's strikes looked shite as well. I like Swerve in our Glory but they feel like filler champions. Good show but like others here I didn’t love it and tbh I zoned out here and there.

Dragon Lee isn't as dastardly as the other two and wanted to shake everyone's hand at the beginning and have a good clean wrestling match. He also took the fall and Andrade and Rush are a couple of right pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Dragon Lee’s a face, the other two are heels, I’ve only seen his work in New Japan but always enjoyed his matches. The fact his masked popped off after getting the DDT was hilarious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair most wrestlers could probably beat up Punk fairly easy. He's not exactly the most imposing physical specimen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lenin Posted August 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 Most newz sites now reporting that Punk is unhappy behind the scenes and particularly unhappy with some of the content of promos that Page did during their feud a few months back.

Joe Blog Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Let Punk sulk off into obscurity. AEW don’t really need him, everyone will have already have bought his merch. Having a whingey fucker like Punk backstage is only going to be detrimental to the whole company. Tony Sniff* can cry into his chequebook as he watches Punk bitch about AEW on a podcast.  *Houchen, Keith. (2022) The book of killing a joke. [Online] accessed daily 2022.

I'm all for Punk being a prick so long as the TV stays decent. Even as a whole the wrestling community is forever pining for 1997 vibes, then shits the bed when a wrestler goes all 1997 and winds up taking it too seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 As someone who’s not been able to catch the show yet, it appears Punk’s heel turn has been effective, no? Like, when he left he was on the “run of his life” etc etc and now everyone hates him because of  a promo he’s cut and stories in the press that could well have been leaked by a company we already know are aware of the power of working the press.

Paid Members FLips Posted August 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'll never say a bad word about Nash again after I saw the supercut of his shoot promo where he's eating ravioli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk's heel turn has certainly been effective on a small section of the audience. He won't get booed in his title match because it takes time to filter down and the match is in Chicago, and he'd already accomplished it by slating Moxley and Kingston, but sure. He didn't need to do totally bury Adam Page to do that though. In storyline, the character is now a coward, refusing to fight Punk and hanging out in catering. We've seen on here that AEWs best stories are the ones where you can get invested in the characters. If there is a punk page feud for all out (and sheets say that there currently isn't) it's hard to get invested in Pages character. Out of interest, when has AEW worked the media? That's not a gotcha, I'm sure there are examples, I just can't think of them off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
