Don't let me down, I want to see another post in 2 days calling Punk toxic. See you on Tuesday.
From the story of Joe being the one to get Punk to stop raging and go out for their match, and Punk saying "Bye" after the match, I get the feeling Punk was enjoying what he knew to be one last memory with someone he likes and respects (and two others).This picture doesn't line up with what Tony is claiming....
That company is littered with idiots. All went to fuck when Cody left. His character might not have clicked in AEW but he kept a tight locker room as EVP. Now there is week on week of childish shit coming out. They need to have some man management come in soon and have Tony be hands off.
The thing I was realizing about all of this is Punk is literally Hulk Hogan's age when Hogan lost the title to Goldberg. (Yes really) Seems like it worked out about as well with Punk as Hogan.(I guess the shit hit the fan with Punk a year earlier.) To be blunt I would have thought if you hire Punk you'd hire him to do 2 things. One be a special attraction and 2 help make your guys look great.(If that's in ring good, if helping them out of the ring also good.) Personally I think it would be insanely stupid to make him the face of the company since you have no idea how much longer he'll want to do this. It'd be different if he broke out in your company and was 30 but not when he's almost 45 and associated with WWE. (That's an AWA level of stupid of pushing an old guy. Yeah, Verne and Nick got people to come watch them but at that point in the mid 80s the AWA was in deep deep trouble.)
Helping out of the ring only works if you have a company made up of people who want help. Instead, it's a company of people that refuse to listen to experience.
Punk really needed to have the attitude my late uncle had about things. To be clear he was a Harvard grad and was super smart. He would give his opinion once and only once. If you didn't listen to him that was your loss as he was right the vast majority of the time. If they don't want to listen they don't have to listen and it's their loss. (Punk would get paid either way.) It's not like he owns the company. (Unless he got shares in it or something which I'm not clear what he got for his first run.)
So has Jerry proposed to her yet?
I've seen some details that put things in perspective, and I think it's within reason that Punk gave up trying because he felt stonewalled by Bucks (refusing to talk despite efforts) and by the company (Saturday show; destined for failure) so he either stopped caring about keeping his job or actively tried to get sacked. Likely the former, but if him trying to quit twice before is true then who knows.
In that case we're going to need a big bowl of popcorn.
I can't imagine WWE wanting or needing him. I don't think he wants to be there either. He would really need money to go back. Maybe AJ LEE can support them. I would like to see AJ LEE wrestle some more she was fun.
I can agree all day long that Tony's booking leaves a lot to be desired. But love it or hate it, they just had one of the biggest wrestling shows in history for paid attendance. So he's definitely doing something right.
I found the GIF Tony is looking atPunk? Unprofessional?!?!
Online journalism is some utter wank.
I like the idea of Punk being introduced in WWE as the Real World Champion who was never beaten for his title. Then basically any interaction/promo between Cody and Punk.
May I add that the match build with Cody has Punk releasing photoshopped photos with Punk and Brandi Rhodes and saying he had her first.
There have definitely been references I can think of. Billy Gunn making an appearance and DX making jokes and a Roman promo about Cody are two. They could talk about Punk in the same general way, taking a shot without saying AEW
I can agree all day long that the ship has too many leaks. But are the leaks a bigger issue?????
She went away, but did anyone miss her? Rock must have made 1 or 2 hundred phone calls to Vince.
He hasn't been able to beat her in Mario kart 8.
