This. This is fucking Shakespearean now. Well done Tony.
Tripple H called the Punk situation "a lightning in the bottle than came together very quickly" at the media scrum. Sounds like they were very quickly in the talks after he got fired from AEW.
It does seem like Nipple H and Cuck Man had an honest man's talk with each other before the PPV and sorted things out like men. Or at the very least agreed to do what was best for business.
Is Punk the DSP of wrestling? Fucker keeps coming back.
Wait, they are both named Phil…
I've always said Cuck Man looks like a skinnier DSP.
Main event of tonight's Collision was Eddie Kingston vs Brody King. Fucking lol.
Imagine Tony Khan emmerging from his mountain of cocaine. He has the best most heckin valid idea ever! Double feature of his B and C shows going up against a WWE PPV. This will kill the E-drone!
Who's that in the gray suit?
Seth's probably just selling but it would be really funny if he actually had been surprised by this.
I'm gonna be so mad if they give Seth's title to Punk after having Nakamura lose to him twice.
I suspect either Drew or Seth are going to be the ones to trigger Punk into another seething shoot if it's not a work.
punk needs to throw the aew belt in the trash
Absolute gigga dimes but that would validate AEW in a way whomever is actually in charge of WWE wouldn't want.
They will just cut out that part and just show him yelling and pointing while being held back. If you don't think the cameraman was set up just for this reaction you are worked bigtime these dudes are professionals.
Not that being worked is a bad thing kayfabe is fantastic but Seth ain't stupid and he knows this is just a $$$$ feud for him so even if he didn't know about CM chud coming back he knows this sort of reaction is what he needs to do.
I just want to believe in it for a bit. If it's a worked shoot or otherwise part of a storyline that would be cool and I'll keep watching. If they're doing a worked shoot version of what happened at AEW with Drew, Seth and Cuck Man that could either go really well or really badly.
That RKO off the cage to the Mick Manlet was kino. Randy deserves one more good run. Maybe a program with LA Knight?
That entire Wargames match had great spots overall. Stuff that actually told a story and was shocking. As opposed to spot monkeys wanking off to half empty arenas. I loved the bit with Cody, Seth, and the rope. I think we're getting Cody versus Seth for the honour of being "Dusty's Boy" soon.
I am so hyped for the Royal Rumble especially since I'll be going in person.
With Randy and Punk back the 30 man roster will be fucking stacked. They'll probably have to move some guys into undercard matches but you could easily have Cody, Rollins, Gunther, LA Knight, Priest, Balor, Jey Uso, Randy, Punk, and McIntyre. That's 1/3rd of a Rumble Roster of just A list dudes. It's gonna be lit.
You're absolutely right. I've said this before but I'll say it again. The Attitude Era worked because they had multiple top tier guys. WWE has always had this problem of needing a Number 1 guy whilst everyone else languishes. When if you have a roster full of top talent every match has the potential for success, every storyline is exciting, and anything can happen because everyone has equal focus.
Per Dave:
- It's a multi-year deal
- Deal was finalized about 8 days ago, nobody knew except Triple H, Nick Khan, and a couple of others, that includes the higher ups at TKO/Endeavor
- Talent was informed about his return shortly before the main event
- Seth reaction was 100% a work
- Drew McIntyre thing was legit, left the building in a huff right after getting backstage, unclear if he was upset over Punk or if it's not related
Yeah the guy who was worked by his sources into thinking Cuck Man wasn't coming back is one hundred percent certain that what Seth did was a work And what Drew did wasn't. Why are we listening to Meltyass again?
I'm not saying Seth isn't working. I'm saying Meltzer needs to shut the fuck up because he's not as knowledgeable as he thinks he is.
