Meltzer says big name is coming to AEW in September

😘

Bryan, I'm not really bothered about - but in Punk's case, I don't like it one little bit. Of course, it doesn't help that I couldn't give a you-know-what about AEW, and am sick of the sight of that super-mark, geek owner... But, it also doesn't make sense to me, because he doesn't really fit in, has no history there and all the best, potential, most wanted/never seen before, matchups - eg Styles, Joe, Balor, Escobar, Kushida, Knight, Cole, Kross, Lee, Riddle, Rollins, Zayn, McIntyre, Owens and Reigns (and of course Heyman) are in the WWE - not in AEW. There is also unfinished business, concerning the main-eventing of Wrestlemania. Whatever he might do there won't mean anything - because the company itself doesn't mean anything. Winning the AEW championship won't mean anything, because it's a two year old title, which has no meaning. It's the worst case scenario from my pov... my fave wrestler - and someone I've been emotionally invested in for years, signing with a company I couldn't care less about, and have no emotional investment in, whatsoever. I honestly didn't think he would go small-time, and actually waste his long-awaited return on bootleg WCW.

any history there? punk made his name in the indie landscape. he’s an OG amongst them.

seeing punk in wwe where they would neuter it and have a goofy dumpster fire storyline is not interesting whatsoever. AEW has all the creative potential, free of outdated and corporate mandated policies, to make this something huge.

There’s a universe where Styles AND Joe are in AEW right now.

I’m honestly not sure how people can complain over and over and over again about how WWE mismanaged talent as a bodily function, but then continue to have them in the highest regard for how to handle talent.

Yea, and I mean that’s a real thing dude. Wait until they find out it’s the same show, with the same segments every week, they just interchange the pieces.

AEW is what it is, is it the best wrestling program EVER!? No, but neither was the WWF in 1993, or 1996 or 2002…but it was at least enjoyable and worth the watch. WWE, It’s unwatchable. If you can’t figure out the show starts with a in ring promo, goes to a backstage segment IN THE SAME ROOM, with the people all facing the camera standing in the designated boxes, goes to a match and then the program ends with the heel standing over the baby face…you’re just not paying attention!

I have been on and off with AEW, but anytime I do watch it, it’s at least watchable. A lot of the times, it’s pretty damn good. Wrestling has never seemed better than what preceded it. New Generation wasn’t thought of as better than the Golden Era, the Attitude Era, although widely liked on a mainstream level, as a wrestling show fans preferred the New Generation. The RA era, wasn’t as good as the Attitude Era…this has always been a thing with wrestling. If it’s watchable, that means some day, it’ll be looked back on fondly. WWE for over a decade has been unwatchable, so much so that when I talk about my favorite WrestleManias, I only count up to 30 because that’s the last one I can distinguish.

Now book him in the Jacksonville territory.

Which has me more excited about him coming in

punk/mjf has so much potential, the two best talkers of their generations
