He's too worried about fake screen shots of AEW's merch department

Shoot insecure, unathletic, always the guy that worked with THE guy, coasting on fed bad notoriety from a decade ago, all his friends hate him eventually, doesn't cut it as a locker room leader because everyone that looks at him knows he's not legit, all the girls in AEW are skeeved out by him because he has that fake nice guy persona, fake straight edge persona but probably a pill head because of boomer "muh doctor prescribed it so it's not a drug" mentality, shit taste in music, shit taste in wrestlers, tries to steal others people's moves and spots but looks terrible doing it.

Dude looks like shit. Hes greying, I bet Dominik Mysterio is bigger than him by now

I think he is just counting on his name to draw, not really putting in the work. Hes always been
a narcissist, that much is certain

he has never drawn. mitb 2011 was outdrawn extreme rules 2011 (miz vs cena), it was an average buyrate, and summerslam 2011 did worse than 2010 and 2012. a total non draw outside of the first episode of rampage. the "pipebomb" had zero impact on ratings

If he's not a draw then tell me why the fuck is everyone obsessed with him going back to WWE? No one can keep his name out of their mouth.

Why should he draw? Tell me why should I tune in to watch a main event with him in it. He can't wrestle. He tires himself out 5 minutes into a match. He cannot even cut a decent promo now without making cute little shoot comments for "those in the know". He's cringe.

His return to wrestling drew. It's been diminishing returns since then. And he pissed off a chunk of AEW's fanbase

He drew his last match in UFC after it was changed to a no contest when the shitter who destroyed him tested positive for marijuana.

This. Lacks explosiveness and won't train to fill in the gaps

Remember when Big Show came back slimmed down after a hiatus? 400lb Big Show's dropkicks looked better than Punk's did on Saturday.

I know he's banged up, I know he's old, but he needs to get in the FUCKING gym and do his leg exercises, not just Bench and Curls. Nobody wants or needs Punk to emulate Adam Page, but you have to be able to do basic shit, and his basic shit looks terrible.

He does this every match. He's either doing some yummy callback that most hardcores don't even remember or he's outright stealing his opponents moves. Page nailed it when he talked about the masturbatory tribute act

1. Time passed him by.
2. The single biggest reason a particular wrestler isn't over is because either bookers (probably bookers) or wrestlers do not know how to handle characters in the long run. CM Punk was at his hottest during the summer of Punk and back then his character was fresh and compelling. Everyone was behind CM Punk. He broke the status quo, and if you watched back then you'd know wrestling was terrible for a long time before Punk got to the top. His promos were legit good and funny. IIRC he was the first person to beat Super Cena clean. Twice. CM Punk was pushed as a God amongst men. It was impossible to fuck it up. In AEW he is a guy. His promos are nothing people care about. If you just started watching AEW and saw CM Punk you'd wonder why is everyone so hype about this dude. He also has no dance partners (except MJF, but that didn't go anywhere). We are watching Phil Brooks in AEW, as opposed to CM Punk in WWE. It's like reading Superman all your life and 10 years later now all they print is about Clark Kent.

In short - the reason people used to love Punk is long gone.

I agree. Punk's gimmick is that he hates the company he works for. That worked great in that era of WWE. Not so much in AEW where their fans are generally happy with the product.

This guy explain it pretty well. I would also say that he waited far too long to comeback. 7 years is a long time, many of the people that were excited about him back then probably stopped watching wrestling after a while. Maybe if it was like 2 or 3 years it would have a bigger impact

2019 would have been the perfect time. 5 years is long, but not crazy long. He'd be considered one of the founding fathers of AEW. He could have also appeared at All In a year earlier.

I'm surprised Punk wasn't as offended by this as he was by the workers' rights line

That would have been interesting to watch. I'm sure Tony or someone tried to sign him earlier on.
