Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted May 19, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 10 minutes ago, David said: In the midst of deciphering this convoluted narrative, it appears that we are being led to believe that CM Punk has unequivocally abandoned the notion of making a comeback, all due to the mishandling of Ace Steel's rehiring. Whatever your thoughts may be on the enigmatic Pepsi Phil, one cannot deny his unwavering support for those who exhibit loyalty towards him.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Ok you can shut the fuck up now David. I think pushing Orange Cassidy as a top main event babyface is a perfectly rational idea. Despite what internet fans think casual fans do or don't like, in reality he seems to get instantly over with anyone who watches him, he has an instantly recognizable and unique look and the talent to run at the top level.

Infinity Land Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Colt and Punk is one of the funniest things I found about Collision supposedly being paired with ROH for tapings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. It's hard not to think of that picture of him lovingly hugging a clearly uncomfortable Okada when I'm reading these reports. I'm not saying he should go full-Vince but it does read like he needs to stop trying to be everybody's friend. You can't be a boss and have everybody like you. If you have to decide between Punk and Ace and the Elite then fucking do it. Imagine negotiating about a guy who bit someone? Going "Oh okay what if he works from home?" seems pathetic. Anyway, I'm hoping the increased TV time means more of a spotlight on Jay White. I get that Khan likes to slowly build people but it seems very weird that White has gone from being portrayed as a major star the last time he was in AEW, to basically being part of a midcard tag team now that he's signed. Also Miro and Eddie Kingston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Are we convinced that Khan's primary concern lies in gaining the approval of Punk and/or the so-called "Elite"? Perhaps, instead, he is strategically aiming to establish a mutually beneficial arrangement? Regardless of personal inclinations, it is undeniable that Punk holds a significant appeal over the fanbase. We've not stopped talking about the guy despite him not actually lacing up a pair of wrestling boots for around eight months. Khan's maneuvering in negotiating Steel's role can maybe be attributed to his understanding of the pivotal role it plays in keeping Punk happy. Khan surely has his sights set on Punk's participation in that London card. It would be absurd to have a talent of his caliber under contract and not feature him in that event. I don't think he's being soft. He's just not wanting to upset any of his cash cows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 You’re playing it cool @Supremo but don’t tell me your heart isn’t a little broken over the latest Punk fiasco. You were rightly done with him after his flounce out, but generous enough to get excited about giving him another chance, and now it looks like he’s stood you up on the make-up date. You can pretend you are into freshly squeezed orange but we all know you really want a glass of Pepsi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I think the only way I could tolerate CM Grump in AEW now is if he went full 1995 ECW Cactus Jack and walked around wearing a forgive me Uncle Paul T shirt. Anyway we all know who Sniff should be building Collision around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'd like to see The Gunns getting featured on Collision too. A very underrated team with loads of potential. They looked like huge stars when they had that 50 Cent entrance. They'll be off to WWE at the first opportunity I'm guessing so AEW should get what they can out of them now.

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted May 20, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Has anything been said yet about Collision the night before All In? I'm wondering if it will be held in the UK, or if it will be a B-team crew taking care of it in the States.

They're doing Hamilton in Canada on a Wed/Thurs double header to tape Collision. I could see them doing something similar so they can come over to the UK without having to worry about doing TV here.

They would sell it out with 70K fans being in town for All-In. Edited May 20, 2023 by LWOLeN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
