It is what it is, we got a good year or so out of AEW which kinda matches the period of time WCW was good for

They were his favorite toys too! But he let Jericho and The Elite talk him into firing them.

He assaulted multiple roster members on multiple occasions, the last of which was much more public and had nothing to do with any of those guys. You think that would've flown in WWE? Of course not just like it didn't in AEW

Verne Gagne wouldn’t have fired the road warriors for bullying Kenny Jay. Wrestling is full of eccentrics. The ones that draw don’t have to behave.

Thry’re getting renewed, Punk or no Punk, so it doesn’t matter. He was injured half the time anyway:

I heard AEW wrestlers have to stick smelling salts up their noses before they come out to the ring because the live AEW crowd smells so fucking bad.

Remember the multiple times Mox fell down? That wasn't the booze, it was getting to close to the crowd. One time Mox didn't use smelling salts and he almost died.

I’m sure he’d be doing great business for them while sitting on the shelf for the 3rd time since his return.

This. Went from must-see in August to becoming the norm by November. And that's not on him or AEW it's just how those things go. When someone's gone for 10 years it's going to be a huge deal to see them back. A few months in of them being consistently featured and it's just expected

he stopped moving the needle almost immediately
guy is only good for the return pop, when people see that he's washed and remember that he was never that good in the first place they tune out in droves
at this point I'm half convinced that all the drama and injuries are at least partly intentional on his part so that he can keep milking these constant returns where he pops the rating

It's beyond hilarious to me that Philtards have the gall to put Forbidden Door on there, a card he wasn't even on and that sold out before he even had the belt.
>most tickets were sold before june 1st
yeah and phil won the title on may 29th. Pretty sure "most tickets" weren't sold in that three day interim.

People liked Punk because of the half-truths he’d tell against authority figures and his shoot-promos. In AEW and WWE return he’s been a company man and talks about how amazing it is to work with everyone. It fucking sucks man.

I wouldn't personally. Look at anyone else like that. Edge's Rumble return from his injury was huge. After a few months of him being back, him just being back wasn't a big deal anymore. Can look back to Shawn Michaels in 2002. Same thing. He was a huge deal that summer but by December people were tired of his feud with Triple H. It's human nature. When something is constantly available it doesn't mean as much as it did when it was scarce

This too. It's why I can't be excited about anything he does in WWE. At least with AEW he went out staying true to his convictions regardless of how retarded they were. I can at least respect it because that's CM Punk. Him walking back a decade of shit talking and god knows how much else by going back to WWE leaves everything he does feeling incredibly hollow. Then there is the fact that he can't just be a character like he was in his SES days. Every feud he does now has to be Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque and quite frankly it's tired

People liked Punk because the era he came up in was when Cena Derangement Syndrome was at its zenith, Miz was main eventing Wrestlemania and the anonymous Raw GM was a thing.
