Meanwhile no name jobbers like Dolph Ziggler's brother are still trying to use his name to stay relevant. As if anyone even cares if Punk mistreated a jobber after he mouthed off about him on social media to get some attention.

Punk's current WWE run has dispelled all the nonsense about him supposedly being the spawn of satan backstage. He has moved on and reclaimed his place as one of the biggest stars in the business today, who actually wants to help young talent succeed and do things the right way. Meanwhile AEW is sinking faster than a lead balloon.

Definitely though I think Jacob is going to be very busy with the bloodline story for some time. Where’s Austin Theory these days 🤔

I don't know if they will do it anytime soon. But it definitely sounds like a future WrestleMania main-event.

As for Theory, he is kinda languishing in the undercard with Grayson Waller. I don't think H sees him the way Vince did. Ironically enough, he has probably been hurt the most by Vince leaving.

I don’t judge him based on what he did in the past for the NA market because a lot of wrestlers who join WWE have to water their style down and focus more on story elements. Yeah he should have perhaps gone over AJ for the title, but AJ was the better draw so made sense to be persisted with, but beyond that I can’t recall any other Jap wrestler to have as much success in NA as Nak and I personally feel he’s overlooked, I still enjoy his work, it’s fresh compared to others which keeps him interesting, he did some matches in Japan not long ago don’t know how you found them. I still take him pretty seriously and being in the upper mid card not a bad spot, plus the prestige of the IC scene has been restored, in NJPW he worked a similar spot tbh it’s just the stylistic matches are different.

Yeah probably given how consistently he has booked like that, which is a shame for a number of guys including Sami Zayn who should have been in the WHC picture as well.

Well, you're right about that. There was Muta but I don't think he did anything besides that short stint in WCW where he had that feud with Sting.

I heard he was returning to NOAH for the match against Muta, but I didn't watch it.

Yeah it's not a bad spot. You need some experienced campaigners like him on the card too. I just question the booking and whether he should be beating one of your top babyfaces like that...clean in the middle of the ring. It would be one thing if he cheated to win or used the mist but he didn't even do that. And sorry but the eye-poke does not have the same effect it did 50 years ago. It barely even registers with the modern crowd anymore and certainly isn't used as a transition to a finish.

LMAO and AEW still won't just go ahead and give him his release. This is the equivalent of holding someone captive in jail while paying them to stay there lol.

And imagine being in Ricky’s shoes, it feels like the longest 12 months ever, his last match was on Collision ? just after Punk’s exit ? he was having the best stint of his AEW run when Punk was the booker

You mean the win over LA Knight at SS? the finish was pretty sick bro, eye rake, scorpion death drop on the exposed metal part between the two rings and then his finisher. It was a pretty physical match as well I liked it a lot. But I get the vibe you’re coming from, it all felt rather anti-climatic didn’t it for the title reign of LA Knight, as was his overdue win in the first place; they only really made good use of LA’s heat when he faced Reigns for the title, after that he has been handled poorly and to be honest with you, I don’t think this change was the worst idea for him because he is best fighting from underneath and needs to get his mojo back, for sure H and his dweebs are responsible for their inflated ego’s giving him the short end of the stick.

On the flip side, they really seem to be going all the way with Nak and I’m enjoying his new character, Nak is charismatic as hell and he really is going to town with his mannerisms and tweaks made in the ring like his fighting stance to suit his character. A world title is a long shot but if he could revisit matches with some big names and be able to express himself a bit more that could be cool.

Also, I saw that KO promo great work, he changed his tone throughout depending on what he had to say and why, while someone like Seth just screams and everyone thinks he’s a great promo. That final line from KO ‘I loved Randy’ was so cold and does more damage then any shouting, not going to say it’s promo of the year etc or the best I’ve heard and what not, especially when Punk has the best promo of his career every week :yk3 but that was a great job building up SNME, why were KO & Orton feuding ? also, it looks to me like Orton has added even more muscle ahaha

Am late to the party but back into it a bit after watching SS.
 
Where the hell is AJ Styles?

And why haven’t we demanded CM Punk vs AJ Styles yet!

Real ones know this is the match to make for the streets!

Yeah and now the poor guy can't even work the freaking indies because some unknown deathmatch mutant over on GCW said something about Tony Khan that offended him. Seriously, how petty can you even get? I feel for Ricky the most because unlike Miro or Fenix, these are the prime years of his career that are completely being wasted.

Not just Punk, but his friendship with Cody has also hurt him. In a recent interview, he recalled how someone in AEW told him it "wasn't a good look" when video surveillance footage of him being backstage with Cody at the Royal Rumble leaked online earlier this year. This is how small-minded the people working in that company are.

Punk showed everyone what he was capable of...before that he showed what he was capable of with that MJF feud, where he verbally lit up MJF. But because he's not someone handpicked by Tony, Moxley, or the Bucks, he sits at home. Meanwhile guys like Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta and Jack Perry who have the charisma of a mailbox continue to be pushed to the moon.

How can anyone seriously look at either of those guys and say they are even in the same stratosphere as Ricky Starks inregards to anything? Be it promos, personality, or in-ring work...

@RedwoodOriginal Not to flog a dead horse, but is it criminal to suggest Ricky is a more creative mic worker then MJF :yk
Click to expand...
I don't think so at all. I think you could argue both sides. Ricky has had some great moments on the mic in AEW. Unfortunately the booking from Tony just hasn't supported him in any way to capitalize on that. And MJF does have the tendency to lean on some of the more old school heel tactics that can feel obvious and uncreative at times. On top of that, MJF has not been involved in anything good in a very long time. And I'm including the Ospreay feud, which had great matches but a pretty mediocre and played out storyline.

Starks is very quick-witted and someone who has the ability to think on the fly which most young wrestlers these days don't. Do you remember the verbal bust-up he had with Edge on Collision lmao? That was some good stuff :moyo2

MJF truly needs to be in WWE, I can say that about few guys there and I know you wanted him there to make the best out of a bad situation, and effectively we need strong opposition in wrestling. But Tony has killed off the indies and there’s no future for the talented prospects there anymore sadly. Oh yes man he made Edge of all people break lol all these poor sods are tied up in lengthy contracts, it probably made a lot of sense financially but they probably didn’t factor how deep the ship would sink apart from Jim Cornette

I just didn't think they gave L.A enough of an out with that finish. For me, it was as close to a burial as you can possibly get. Nothing against Nakamura, but he hasn't been featured in a prominent position on the card in a very long time. And if you want to rebuild him, sacrificing one of your top babyfaces who hasn't established himself yet shouldn't be the way to go. But anyway what's done is done, let's see what they do with L.A...and Nakamura for that matter. This is definitely the most interesting he has been for quite some time.

Are you talking about the interview he did with Michael Cole in his car? That was brilliant lol. KO was in top form there. His promos every week are pretty great. He seems to excel at being a heel. His feud with Orton is basically over Orton taking Cody's side instead of his. They actually executed the turn really well on TV, and then followed it up with the piledriver the next week. Cody vs KO should be good. This time around it will have heat as well and I'm sure both guys will want to go out there and put on a great match, if they get the time.

Yeah I don't know how many great feuds and programs are left for him to do in AEW. Edge...Okada...Eddie Kingston...(Christian?)...can't really think of anyone else noteworthy enough who he hasn't already worked with. Can you believe that they are still doing the MJF-Adam Cole feud? It is absolute death and makes the crowd go silent every time. One good thing though is that MJF only appears on the screen in pre-taped promos, because apparently he is out filming a movie. But yeah, he should consider going to WWE very soon. He has shown enough to be brought in as a main-event level guy at the top in WWE.

Jim is the only one who has been consistent about AEW from day one. Probably because he knew that Tony had no idea about how to run a wrestling promotion and was only going to sink it with his ineptitude. Now even someone like Dirt Sheet Dave has started changing his tune about AEW because the sharp decline in numbers and attendances has become so patently obvious. They booked a freaking 52,000 capacity stadium in Australia for a show next year, advertised it and then had to change the venue and move to a 10,000 seat arena because they found out they wouldn't be able to sell enough tickets.

The funny thing is that you can pin-point two exact moments when the company became an absolute clown show that was only destined to go downhill.

Moment 1: Firing CM Punk
Moment 2: Airing the All In backstage footage

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Yes, absolutely, what they’ve done to LA is pathetic to say the least. To completely neutralise his heat and business asset in that way is unacceptable and I agree he didn’t need to be sacrificed to Nak in that fashion, it wasn’t even like the blow off to a programme between the two. Ultimately H is not his fan and his ego got dented by how over he got himself, similarly he punished Austin Theory simply for being pushed by Vince who despite his flaws, hasn’t been wrong about which horse he wants to back. I’ve also noticed how H books reactively to the IWC audience and then goes to his old ways after a short period, he has a huge ego and is always concerned about his own perception opposed to prioritising getting talent over.

I meant the promo where he was standing on the announcers desk, still catching up with the past few months. But my oh my, what about the New Day Angle? just caught up with it, they’ve caught lightening in a bottle with this lol I always knew they would have to break up with one of the members turning heel, but here things have transpired in a way I could not have been coming.

That segment involving Big E, Xavier & Kofi has to be in my top 3 for this year if not the best, the promo work between all of them was just off the charts. And man, this is the Big E we wanted when he was champion & not Mr. Goofy. And Kofi cracks me up because he’s such a natural on the mic 🤣 you can tell after all these years he is still enjoying himself so much and is about to have the time of his life again.

And that old school heat this week though! that reaction is why I want to follow the version pro wrestling I have loved. This is a good example of still being able to get fans to suspend their disbelief when kayfabe is dead, those crowd shots were great, it was like a riot was going to break out during a studio taping in the territory era lol

Dirt sheet Dave knows everything, don’t know why he can’t share when the contracts of these boys is expected to run out. I can imagine mid tier talent being happy with this, crazy money for little work when their ceiling is low, but do you think the likes of MJF would be content being a similar position ? And how would H book him ? one positive is he always put over H on their program so the little insecure dweeb would be happy with that. With Ricky, I know Cody would take him under his wing and there’s Punk there as well, I also feel weirdly more confident about Ricky rising above WWE booking but am not sure about MJF.

Not surprised there with Tony’s delusion, I also hear Shawn’s NXT has been beating them in the ratings for weeks now.

Man never has a single even led to such a steep decline, just look at the crowd on the first Collision and now, they robbed us of a proper throwback Wrestling show
 
@shaz619 Gotta say WWE's booking of their key stars has been brilliant in the past couple of years. So much stuff has happened in storyline that these guys can bring up to prove their point. This was best highlighted by the Sami Zayn-Rollins back and forth last week, where both guys made some very good points by bringing up things that have actually happened in storyline. When Punk finally turns heel, you can just tell that Rollins and McIntyre will be waiting to tell everyone: "we told you so!"

You definitely get that feeling. Whenever someone on the roster that he didn't have any plans for, starts getting over, he slowly kills their momentum with 50/50 booking. Does just enough to make people think he is pushing them, then pulls the rug from under them. I doubt anything will ever compare to the Austin Theory burial, but I guess there are levels to this.

Oh god, they've done an amazing job with the New Day. They basically teased a break-up between them for weeks and weeks, and then just when you thought that Woods was going to turn on Kofi, they did this epic angle. I think its a masterstroke. New Day had gotten really stale as babyfaces, and now they have the opportunity to become the hottest heel tag team in the company. I always thought that both Kofi and Woods were great talents, but I just hated the New Day gimmick so much that it turned me off them. Btw, how funny is it that this faction started with 'New Day Sucks' chants, which turned to 'New Day Rocks' chants. And now, its back to 'New Day Sucks' chants. Talk about going full-circle lol.

I think H should be able to recognize how good MJF is. I think any wrestling fan with half a braincell would. I also think that MJF is smart enough to only go if it benefits him. Both he and Ricky would shine in WWE I feel.

Lol yeah, they beat AEW twice in the ratings. Including one night when NXT were running on Wednesday night, in Dynamite's timeslot.

Collision has become the new Rampage. Just a show with endless matches, without any rhythm or reason. A far cry from what it was when Punk was booking it.
 
So nice to see that they are bringing back Jesse Ventura to commentate on SNME. The card for this show looks great and better than most WWE PLEs. Glad they are treating these shows with some seriousness. AEW got Battle of the Belts from TNT and all they did was book undercard matches that nobody wanted to see.

Mate Jesse Ventura was a treasure on commentary, he made the main event feel so special and called it like it should be 🤣 @Markhor Catch Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens for the title free on WWE’s youtube, it’s worth it just for the body’s commentary. Honestly, even for me who has not followed every segment he gave a masterclass in giving you all the sound bites, advancing the story and getting both guys over, the heel Heenan type common sense was hilarious Lol

Rumours swirling that Ricky’s contract with AEW has expired, pretty petty keeping him out of action for a whole year just because he hurt someones ego and wouldn’t sign an extention.

For as evil as we know Vince is, I haven’t seen this level of pettiness even from him, he’d do something with the talent like job them out every week or if he likes you and see’s some dollar to be made, he would make use of it, Ambrose/Mox had the best send off possible from the WWE when you know that Vince was aware he wasn’t going to re-sign for some time

I think Jesse might have been my favorite thing about this show. It was incredible how he stepped back into his role as the heel announcer. It was seamless and like he barely missed a step despite being away for 40 years. Even someone like JR, who I have always loved is just not the same on commentary anymore. But Jesse was just brilliant. My only gripe was that he was only on commentary for 11 or 12 minutes...however long that main-event was.
 
@shaz619 Did you check out Punk's latest shot at Hangnail on SNME? I missed it while I was watching a backstage interview of his, but came across it in an online article somewhere. It's a small thing, but I just get a kick out of how much he hates Adam Page with a passion.

Apparently Page said this after Logan Paul said he was retiring from pro-wrestling:

HANGMAN PAGE (@hangmanpage.bsky.social)

i hope the next person they give half my moveset to is at least kinda cool
bsky.app bsky.app

Which Punk referenced in a backstage interview when Pete Rosenberg (probably regrettably) used the word move-set:

"It’s garbage! If you say that, you’re an idiot! Especially if you’re a wrestler, and you say ‘moveset,’ that 100% tells me you don’t know what the hell you’re doing."

Here's the video btw. Very nice. Punk is marking out for Koko B. Ware lol.

What makes Tony even worse is that he tries to project a fake image of caring about the wrestlers and being “all about the boys,” when his recent treatment of certain wrestlers clearly shows otherwise. He is more petty and small-minded than Vince ever was.

He is also remarkably dumb. Because if he had any brains as a booker, he would use wrestlers like Penta, Fenix, and Ricky to put other guys over, and even bury them. I mean why would you not want to capitalize on that equity they built on your TV show when you know that they are leaving the company? Instead, he’s willing to pay them just to keep them from going to WWE. All of this also tells you how little this company operates like an actual business, and how little metrics like ratings, ticket sales, PPV buys, and wrestler salaries matter. Because if this was an actual business, guys like Penta, Fenix, Ricky, and, Miro—who haven’t been used in months—would have been cut loose a long time ago.

I would also bet my bottom dollar that Tony hasn’t even spoken to Ricky since taking him off TV. Tony doesn’t have the guts to have uncomfortable conversations. Instead, he’s more content to ignore and ghost people till their contract runs out, instead of being open and honest with them.
 
Another great post-show angle:



This is a seriously great way to use social media and the internet to build interest in matches and feuds. It feels realistic and unfiltered, especially when you have the fans capturing the footage from different angles with their phones and uploading it online.
 
This could have been great. Had Heyman been given full-control to do things his way, who knows where TNA would be today? I have a soft spot for that Hogan-Bischoff era because of stuff like Joker Sting and the Aces & Eights storyline, but I don't think anyone can say that those two coming on helped TNA in any way from a business stand-point.

 
Rollins is stagnant and stale. He's simply this guys Triple H (even though Trips was lesser talented in the ring but got pro wrestling much better). I missed out wrestling for around 2 weeks for Umrah. Just binge watched last 3 weeks of wrestling today. Didn't feel like there was anything that packed a pure punch apart from New Day's storyline. Drew's return felt forced.
Nick Aldis has been revelling in his role as an on air authority figure. I hope he can get to wrestle too. About time we get the returns of Lesnar, AJ, Rock, Randy, Cena etc.
