Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Given how practically every WWE castoff to AEW has their own story about what a psychological nightmare WWE was and how they had to readjust to a wrestling company that wasn't a cult, being in AEW might be the only therapy that works on Punk

Give a shoutout to your boys for drawing a big crowd for that old guy who cut the promo at the start. Seems like it meant a lot to him.

I don’t have that nostalgia for Punk because I wasn’t watching wrestling at that time, but gently caress I’m still all in on his return.

Also, from a distant, a ‘ CM Punk’ sign looks like it says ‘ Chipmunk’

Chipmunk is ALL ELITE.

True story, one year, I think it was ROH was goofing around, and introduced a wrestler wearing a squirrel uniform.

His name? CP MUNK.

That was a fun show. Private Party vs. Jurassic Express was a drat good match, Jade Cargill looked amazing, and I liked how the main event was some newer guys getting a primo spot while Moxley murdered felony assaulted one of them.

Oh and some dude came out and said some words at the start of the show. :v:

It was Chikara and I think it had something to do with Quack being pissy about Punk not wanting to work Chikara shows.

He is literally the reverse Vince McMahon: a successful businessman who got into wrestling because of his love for it, who treats people with respect, and who isn't afraid to spend money on stuff that's cool or helps enhance his product.

if it's the same thing I'm thinking of, it was that Cody or the Bucks reached out to him but it was basically by text and they never made him a firm offer, it was more of just a "would you like to come in" and he didn't think that was a good way to do business. That may have been for the original All In pre AEW, I don't remember.

OMG.

As I said, I wasn't following wrestling during CM Punk's original runs so I just know the name and the stories and enough to know what he's talking about during the promo.

But,

I know when something big was happening and that entire speech was golden. I'm so glad I went, I'm so glad I could be in the building, I'm so glad I got ice cream... AEW is amazing!

How did the other matches play on TV? After Punk I was fairly exhausted.

Judging by the timeline, it looks like Punk was convinced around the time of the 2020 Revolution PPV, which is frankly astonishing considering Dynamite had only been on for a few months at this point

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Tag match was great, Jade squash was fine, short, and I'd love to see them run Mox vs. Garcia back with some more time because it was a real fun sprint.

God, it's been an hour and I'm still so hyped. I first started posting in PSP in 2011 when I was working nights and could stay up for every Raw/Smackdown and the Punk-Bryan era of wrestling was special to me cause of getting to share it with my posting pals and tonight just brought all of that back and when Punk showed up and got the god pop all of the bullshit about the lovely MMA career and the rear end in a top hat attitude and all of it just fell away and I was just happy that the guy who brought me years of joy was happy and what I'm trying to say is wrestling is the best, y'all

They played good! The crowd was still making some noise, although no one could blame them for being a little quiet after all the energy for Punk.
