Okay gently caress it I'm gonna get sappy for a second. Don't blink.

CM Punk in a roundabout way is one of the guys (along with Bryan) that got me into wrestling. They were both already retired at the time but going back and seeing their work made me see what this art form was capable of at the absolute best and it made me fall in love with it. And I've always wanted to see Punk come back even as it became increasingly clear that was never gonna happen. And in the last year, I've had some. Pretty poo poo times (I'm okay now). But even when I felt at my most depressed and rejected and unwanted by this country and this world and the people around me and just absolutely crushed by this pandemic, this fuckin' wrestling company, AEW, was something that was always there for me, every Wednesday, just to give me some stability and all of you fuckers have been there for me too, even when we were getting into slap fights about Naito and Kenta.

And this guy. This guy struck the chord that created the spirit that would form the movement that made AEW a possibility. I completely and fully believe that if this pissed off guy doesn't sit cross legged on that ramp and rant about all the poo poo that his stupid loving bosses are doing that pisses him off, we don't ever get here. WWE stole him from us, but he's finally back. He's the patron saint of AEW and he's finally home.

God dammit. I love professional wrestling and I love all of you.

Also, Bryan next month! That'll be cool.

For real though just close your eyes for a sec.

Now imagine pandemic wrestling without AEW.

still invested, just exhausted.

Yeah I think Mox and Garcia were there too. They didn't phone it in but it was pretty clear that they were like "okay, everybody's just about done here, let's take it to the barn."

i do wonder if danielson's pop is going to be bigger, and if they're going to keep it a surprise or tease it hard like punk

Do the same thing again for Danielson for Grand Slam. Change the name from Grand Slam to The Final Countdown, if you gotta.

It's not that the pop was big and loud, it's how sustained it was, and how when he was leaving a big chunk of the crowd was singing "Cult of Personality"

They popped when the music hit, they continued popping, then when his name showed up on the tron, they somehow POPPED AGAIN, even louder, in the middle of their first pop. I've literally never seen anything like it.

Did Punk and PAC ever tangle in WWE? Either way, a match in a non-WWE style between them would be amazing too.

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.

I really want to see something completely different from Bray Wyatt and THE FIEND. I hope Rotunda, whatever he goes by, just completely reboots himself.

He's a smart guy who can connect with a crowd. The work is a question mark but for someone like him is less important anyway.

we all thought Malakai Black was gonna be a disaster after his weeks of Lore Twitch Streams and then he debuted perfectly, I'm not too worried a guy who has a pretty good ring presence and excellent talent on the mic will have trouble. i tlooks like he's already thinking about what's next, from what those new pics have shown

I did not take the bet because I am a big fan of my avatar and did not need a CM Punk one but holy loving poo poo I would have lost.

I thought even with the hype there was zero shot in the death slot of beating Dynamite. Now CM Punk faces his greatest test this Wednesday: Taking 18-49 viewers away from The Challenge.

Real Housewives.

Yeah, MJF feels way too big for the TNT title (as much as I'd like to see the Burberry Nightmare TNT belt)

No such thing imo.

But I do worry that MJF doesnt wrestle often enough for the TNT Title.
