SuperBacon Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 For those who it's tl:dr, Phil is a great guy, he's reached out, he's not a dickhead, he's reached out, he was always coming back, he's reached out and he's reached out. Long live CM Punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good to hear from him (as he had kept quiet or been silenced), though my prevailing thought is it is his side of things. I recognise the imbalance as we’ve not heard directly from any of the other parties, though some wrestling writers have conveyed their side. But in general, there’s nothing particularly new that I learned from it. I’m waiting to watch Collision to see how it pans out and if the success of that and the focussing of minds on Dynamite (and vice versa) can raise the tide and lift all ships in AEW.

SuperBacon Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 He's absolutely right about it happening in other sports all the time and no one giving a shit. Teddy Sheringham and Andy Cole hated each other and won a treble. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I’m a Punk fan, so may be I’m being biased, but looking at the views above I’m thinking I’m not, that interview “making matters worse”, seemed a bit of an exaggeration, and didn’t seem to be anything new coming out from it. Looking forward to tomorrow’s return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day as long as the network is happy that's all that matters when it comes to ratings. It's not the Monday Night Wars, anymore.

Vamp Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It's kind of interesting that they've hyped his first thing back as a match rather than a promo. I'm sure he'll still do one, possibly one of his "they don't want me to say this" promos after the match. I can't help but think people are going to be more interested in what he says than him winning a 6 man tag. Presumably by this stage his promo could be written by an AI though. "I love professional wrestling. Ice cream! I'm all about the young guys! Unlike everyone else. Ice cream! Playground insult. Ice cream! I told them I wanted to do this and this because I'm really cool. Like ice cream! Who likes ice cream? Shoot! Ice cream." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
