Keith Houchen Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 As AEWs favourite rapist said “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. You see it all the time with a Johnny Big Potatoes giving it large. Wasn’t that a criticism of UFC champ Brock Lesnar? Genuine hard bastard but as soon as he took a punch to the face, everything changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This thread is Wrestlecrap forums level of shit now. Also Hangman would gently hug us to a pleasant nap, not smack a gobshite about with a god complex and overpriced muffins. Lovely man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted October 31, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) I’m super intrigued by the reports that came out of Punk’s camp, stating that he didn’t think the press conference was, “that big of a deal.” If that’s true, I almost feel sorry for him. So caught up in all the madness and paranoia that he flushed everything down the toilet without even realising. It’s crazy to think only weeks earlier he was tearfully talking about how grateful he was to have a second chance, unlike someone like Bret Hart, and yet it took no time at all for him to burn it to the ground over the smallest, silliest of reasons. Guy seems to be his own worst enemy. He had it made in AEW if he wasn’t such a self-destructive knobhead. On that subject, this made me laugh. You can always count on Bret to be right about any and every situation.  Edited October 31, 2022 by Supremo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 You just know the only thing Bret has in his funeral plan is a request for a massive tombstone that says FUCK BILL GOLDBERG on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Punks always been a bellend, but is it a case that when he was being a bellend with WWE that was fine because it was big bad WWE. Now he’s being a bellend to AEW and given how tribal and defensive their fans are it’s not fine? Or are people saying “Nope, I was wrong before, he was a bellend back in WWE as well” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how miserable so many other ex-WWE guys were at that time and the generally shit booking it was perfectly feasible that it was WWE that made him miserable. This time around it's definitely people realizing "no wait, he's just a toxic person". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone telling WWE to fuck off with the way they treat people should be supported, but as you say it doesn’t automatically make them sound.  Someone mentioned earlier about the change in locker room leaders. Imagine a lesser talent having mental health and addiction issues. Imagine talking to the usual locker room leaders about those sort of topics and how they’d be met. Now imagine talking to Mox about those issues and I bet the response would be night and day. Less Punk and More Mox in wrestling backstage politics please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He probably isn't, given the lack of rumour. Usually something comes out about this sort of thing.) And would a hard man without training beat a soft guy with training? Nope, Steve isn't a hard man at all. And while Punk is a moaning-faced twat, I wouldn't exactly describe him as "soft" considering the absolute beatings he took in the UFC without much complaint. A "soft" type wouldn't even entertain the idea of stepping into the gym he trained at, knowing he's a "fake pro wrestler" and the place is full of young, legit tough guys who'd happily be the guy to send Punk home crying. Balboa walking into Apollo's gym in Rocky III has fuck all on what Punk had to experience at Roufus gym.

He had it made in AEW if he wasn’t such a self-destructive knobhead.  It's weird looking back at the promos leading up to this whole thing - Punk was coming across as bitter and paranoid to the point of some of us genuinely wondering if he was setting up a heel turn. The one that sticks with me is how he talked about how he almost died in childbirth due to a chord around his neck and how that showed 'they've been trying to kill me since the day I was born' - despite it being more obviously a story about how his life was saved by the doctors at the time. I found the 'they' really, really weird and paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 One of my pet peeves in modern wrestling is wrestlers who change there names from one normal guy name to another normal guy name. I don’t know if he’s a hard man or not but Stevie lacks a serious amount of imagination to go from Steve to Adam. Still, it’s better than Uncle fucking Howdy.
