CI Wrestling Thread #56

If aew signs punk/Bryan/Strowman wonder if Christian will have regretted signing there - no way he main events there esp if Jay white is going to feud with omega too
Where would Christian go to be a big player? His best days are behind him and he was never as entertaining as Edge. Doubt Vince would sign him considering he is laying people off. Impact? They barely exist. Does Ring of Honor still exist? If I remember correctly, roh's style would not have fit him if they are still around.
 
Coincidentally they opened up more seats for all the Chicago shows today.
Remember the Dynamite after All Out is in Cinncy.
September could be the biggest month in AEW history if it all works out.

Dynamite has Moxley vs Archer
Baker vs Nyla
Jericho vs Spears
And a bunch of other stuff

Probably in the minority but I’d like to see Archer win.

You are not in the minority with that. I love mox and think he’s way over. I think he’s a bigger draw then Reigns to be honest. But I’m tired of seeing Archer lose. Dude is a work horse and doesn’t have too much time left. Let’s give him a nice title reign before he gets too old
 
Honestly, I think Daniel Bryan and Braun Strowman should re-sign with WWE, and AEW should pass on Punk. DB has kinda against the odds become a perennial title contender in the WWE, and he is a great ring tactician, but I've never found him charismatic or anything but average on the mic. Strowman was built up as a monster in the WWE, and he has a great look and is very strong, but again, pretty average on the mic. I just don't see either of them doing better or being as prominent in AEW as they were in WWE.

Punk screwed Punk, he took his ball and went home, and rightly or not created a chasm between himself and WWE. Then, he failed miserably at MMA, and has been on the sidelines pretty much ever since. Punk overvalues himself, thinks he can command millions to return to wrestling, but he has been irrelevant for years. He needs to prove himself all over again. Can he still wrestle at a high level, can he still handle the mic, is he going to be petulant and hard to deal with, etc. He's not worth a big payday to find out.
Punk doesn’t overvalue himself lol. He’s 42 not 92…..3 years younger than Bobby Lashley. He will command millions because that’s how much he will make.
 
Welp z might get his wish

God this guy is such a douche. How is anyone still a fan after learning he can’t fight at all and has done nothing but bitch and throw everyone under the bus.

This guy bitched about a fan calling him Punk. He then bitched about a fan calling him Phil. He threw Cabana under the bus too.

Wrestling is significantly better since he was last in it. But Punk wanting to come back is hilarious after shitting on it so much. Guess relevancy has died off.

Big Mox fan but no way in hell is he more over than Reigns. Nothing would back that up.

I kinda hate that the surprise is leaking everywhere but Daniel Bryan has signed with AEW.

Id love if a handful of these big name wwe guys formed a stable to try and bull doze the company forcing Cody and Hangman to rejoin The Elite as the group to stop them. Would easily be the biggest storyline in wrestling unless they go with a Bullet Club invasion angle instead.

I would be cool with a one-off match between DB and Punk headlining an AEW PPV, but I'd rather neither of them have any more than that in AEW.
 
*I like seeing OC add the brass knucks to his superman punch.
*Not a big fan of CJ's NJPW Painmaker gimmick, but I like the retrospective if that's what we end up seeing with the 5 pains of Jericho.
 
Archer wins! Much needed win for him! This is perfect. That was a great main event as well.

Nikki cross is nicki ash?
 
It seems that Kahn doesn't mind paying for the copyright to secular songs such as Wild Thing and Where is my mind. This got me thinking, who has had the best intro/music either now or in the past? Some guys music always got a hug pop like Stone Cold with the breaking glass as did the Undertaker with his signature bell tolling. One of the most under rated entrances to me was Gangrel and The Brood.

Who gives a shit about any of that? He’s one of the biggest names in the sport ever regardless.

Who gives a shit? I’d say it’s a pretty important thing- he sucks as a person and there’s no longer the illusion of him being a tough guy. He can’t even throw a basic punch.

He doesn’t suck as a person lol

Most don’t give a shit if he can’t win a UFC fight. None of these guys could. Bobby Lashley was an actual fighter and would get destroyed in a UFC main card fight.
 
Nice to see Archer finally get a big win. I’m guessing Mox will dial his schedule back some now with having a kid.

I popped some when MJF brought out Gage and said “he robbed a bank without wearing a mask.”

Kahn better be working on getting the rights to The Final Countdown. Bring back the American Dragon! I’m more interested in seeing Danielson in AEW over Punk.
 
To say you don’t want Punk because he lost a ufc fight is just funny

Then to say he’s a piece of crap is funny as well……he’s a natural heel. He’s supposed to sound and act like a jerk.
 
We liked Punk way back when, too. But then he quit and hasn't wrestled in 7 years, and in the meantime he failed at MMA and lost relevance. Plus, he screwed over his "friend" Colt Cabana by refusing to pay his attorney fees that he told Colt he would cover (Colt sued, Punk countersued, and they settled in late 2019).

If I'm Colt, and they bring Punk in, I'm walking.
