Fish Of Doom: Aug 18, 2004; I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare

Still laughing that like 2 days ago Roman Reigns was talking about how Punk wasn't actually very popular.

The coolest thing to me was seeing the guy legit happy again. He had this beaten out of him to the point no one ever thought he�d be back�and to see him walk out and you can SEE the moment where he realizes how big this was and he just starts beaming.

Watch the joy, the absolute JOY in TK's eyes while Punk is talking in the media scrum and imagine if at any point in Vince's life he sat with an employee delighted to work for him and had an emotion like that on his face. Childlike wonder and glee.

Who cares, if Cody hadn't said that the bad faith bullshitters would just have found something else to latch onto.

Case in point is the ranking system where they've never explained the rules and people still flip out.

There's criticism to make of AEW but bad tweet hot takes ain't there and never will be.

Some five hours later I'm still buzzing. What a moment (and a pretty good show afterwards!)

When wrestling gets it right, there's nothing better in the entire world.

Someone sent me a link to some AEW hate twitters that are up in loving arms right now. A big mix of either "What the gently caress how DARE CM Punk choose some pissant loving outlaw mud show over THE BIG LEAGUES, he OWES them EVERYTHING!" and also "HMMM YET ANOTHER WWE LOSER? CODY PROMISED THEY'D BE DIFFERENT ITS TNA ALL OVER AGAIN HURR HURR"

Sometimes I wish Cody had kept his dumbass mouth shut because idiots on the internet will never, ever, EVER let the "sports based presentation" or "We're not gonna sign every WWE guy" poo poo go

Those weirdos aren't worth your energy beyond schadenfreude.

Nope, Neville got called up the night after WM31, well after Punk was gone, and although Punk dipped into NXT once or twice I don't think he ever wrestled there.

Rewatching the show right now. Jesus that pop was SCSA/Rock levels. CM Punk throwing another hot one telling he actually quit Professional Wrestling in 2005 :suspense:

and of course saying that you come wrestle, get paid, enjoy the craft... The rest of the show was fantastic, short but packed. I'm going to download from somewhere this show and keep it along with the Brodie tribute to remind that in 2020, a wrestling company reignited my passion for wrestling and show everyone that there are more kinds of workers than these over 6.1ft and 200lbs.
