TheDude Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Just now, WeeAl said: I don't know. I'm sure these types of contracts have some form of severance built into them, be it the old WWE style (90 day paid, no compete) or something else. If you tell Punk you'll double his payoff in order to drop the belt on his way out the door, I'd think he would do it. The man is well off, but we also know he burned through a tonne of money suing the WWE, and now has way fewer bargaining chips than he did before. He's a idiot for doing what he's done. If he's fired from AEW, he's never wrestling again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they can somehow do FTR taking the belts from Swerve/Lee, a subsequent Swerve/Lee feud that elevates both of them as a upper/top level heel & face and have Acclaimed finally take the titles from FTR (after a decent run) in a massive moment (including props from FTR at the end) without losing the Acclaimed's momentum.

Paid Members Nick James Posted September 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2022 Wasnt sure where to put this, but it seems Malakai Black has been given his conditional release, potentially. No idea what the conditional part is, you would presume it's a possible no compete, or a promise to not sign for WWE. Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 That sucks but to be honest 'House of Black' just never really did anything so hopefully there's a bit of a split and rebrand of the rest of them somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted September 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2022 His career in both WWE and AEW never really hit the heights it should've, really. His early NXT run was fantastic but they didn't really know what to do with him on the main roster, and in AEW he disappeared into that boring-arse rambling Bray Wyatt nonsense that hardly ever meshes well with pro wrestling. It's a shame as if that early NXT run was any indication, he could've been a massive asset for either company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtrickio Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Given the rumoured reason he asked for his release, I'm glad it's been granted (if indeed it has!!) Just as long as Bray Wyatt isn't drafted in as a direct replacement as new HoB leader.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hope he's doing well, but yeah it's another squandered career in the big leagues so far. Sometimes a guy having a brilliant mind because he dug the True Blood title sequence or listens to Burzum records or whatever doesn't make up for the fact that you've still got to - y'know - write compelling angles and meaningful feuds for them. Black and Wyatt are definitely bedfellows in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I don't know how I'd like it, but I did think you could sub in Darby and Sting. If they're going to stick with the trios titles Darby/Brody/Buddy as a team could work. Then they can think about what they've got in Sting as it does have to come to an end sometime.

The King Of Swing Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Sting should just start following Death Triangle around and jump off high things with The Lucha Bros. All while Pac looks on like someone pissed in his cornflakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted September 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2022 Won't miss Malakai Black. You know what's boring and never works for long in wrestling? Being spooky. Even Undertaker shifted his gimmick around every couple of years, but it feels like Malakai Black has been misting people forever now and some of them it changes and some it doesn't and it makes no bloody sense. It took so long for Julia Hart to join them it was ice cold and then he left almost immediately. Now we're stuck with Buddy Murphy. If I was Tony Khan tonight I'd be opening Dynamite with news that Punk, The Elite, etc are suspended, their titles are vacant and we'll have title matches tonight to get new champions. No more tournaments, just fan favourites in title matches. MJF vs Mox, Dark Order vs Best Friends.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Tony is going to be so fucking awkward because he always is. Only way it'll work is if MJF gets to come out and tear him to shreds and send him away with his tail between his legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems an easy fix of having Tony in the ring to make the announcement that due to injury CM Punk has had to vacate the World Title. MJF's music hits and go from there. That's who everyone will be tuning in to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
