Probably

Would've been 7 ⭐, if Al was in the Tokyo dome. Ha

Not enough rope work.

This read like a Botchamania segment 😂

Quite. This guy talks out of both sides of his mouth. He's nothing more than a Donald Trump distraction for the issues of WWE

Well, night one of WM was a big flop crowd was bored out of there mind

@@certifiedbeatz Most entertaining PPV of the year so far! Tonight is going blow last night away! It just keeps getting better.

Like wwe is so much better. Mark 😂

No different than the cult of WWE geeks who got their WWErections when first Cody and later Punk returned. You're all a dying niche brand because most of you watch both shows, but pretend you don't.

​@ImprovementYou ok you're opinion glad you liked it.. it wasn't for me, but I will put it on tonight to see any surprises

Not always

Al Snow broke into the business being tested by Gene and Ole Anderson. He talked about Gene stretching him and one of his early matches was against Bruiser Brody many of the wrestlers in AEW could not handle being trained by Gene Anderson.

Punk is way softer than Snow. And I never saw Snow walking around wearing shirts about trans kids and abortions.

​@@James-if3kc That was sickening. I was so disgusted to see sjw Punk supporting gender transitioning children. He earned himself a spot in Hell for that one.

Punk grew a conscience. Something those who only value human life until it leaves the womb will never understand. Just like those perverted control freaks obsessed with forcing trans kids to go through a traumatizing puberty against their will, and pretend to be cis. Against all medical advice. While the far right is citing their favorite junk science studies that didn't actually study self-identified trans kids...just the paranoia of their most TERF friendly parents and a bunch of random cisgender non-conformists... Which is why conservative science isn't really science at all...

It's great.

The audience Punk started is still firmly on Punk’s side in all this.

Even though he's literally insulting them and calling them a "niche audience".

Yes, Buck’s fans are a niche audience. Punk’s audience understood this.

PUNK'S audience is a niche audience. Are you slow?

Every fan base is a niche audience gathered as a whole with in wrestling. Punks audience draws more in 15 mins than AEW Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision combined. I’m just slowing down so you can catch up.

Punk doesn't seem to realize that that same "niche audience" are the ones who praised him for the pipebomb and made him the star that he is. Remember how he called himself "the voice of the voiceless"??? Who do you think he was referring to? That was at a time when John Cena was the top star in WWE, and Punk was the internet darling. Those fans, those SPECIFIC FANS, are the ones who made such a big deal out of him. It was the ONLY reason why Tony Khan brought him to AEW, and that was the only reason why Triple H brought him back to WWE. It all goes back to the internet fans, and now Phil wants to pretend like he never cared about those fans and they didn't make him who he is??? This man has a sickness, but all of you who believe his lies are even worse.

What are you some kinda mark?

@@James-if3kc no I just thought it was good. Logically I knew it wasn’t a shoot but I had doubts. That’s what good wrestling is.

OKAY!

Exactlt it's about making ppl forget it's scripted and make them buy into whatever the angle is . They don't get it man. ​@@calvinlukas9

Spoken like a true nazi.

I had zero time for Al Snow. Then he put his money on the line as a promoter. I have new respect for him.

He's a good bloke.

Lmfao sure

🙄😂...

And Punks biggest fans

😁You arnt wrong...

And this Wednesday too 😂😂

Facts

That will be proven on Wed when everyone tunes in just to watch the backstage footage

This is false. Jade weighed upfront money vs backend money. She rightly decided the money on the backend of a wwe deal was greater than the money on the front end of aew. Also we have no idea what she was offered or what she is making. The only thing you know is what Tony said and Tony just proved himself a liar last night when he told the world he feared for his life when there was clearly nothing to fear.

@@adamcummings4060Watch her interview from last week. She tells you in her own words.

Or cigarettes...

@@ThemePro24 I dont. WWE branded itself as "sports entertainment" a long time ago and was always about the characters, gimmicks, storylines, and presentation over the actual wrestling moves and holds. Once they became more like the latter when Vince got old and disinterested they became more boring and less interesting and unique. They still push the presentation heavily but whats behind it isnt the same anymore. You can have a big elaborate entrance for someone who you say is a star but it doesnt mean they are a real mainstream star.

TRUE. But if you want work Matt wrestling. Indys, if you want high flying Aew. If you want story. WWE.. But ECW was a niche.. not everyone enjoyed That Brand and Aew is becoming an ECW Like alternative.. ECW did not cater to kids.. a Babyface Hulk Hogan would not draw anything close to what he would on a family show.. does that make Hulk Hogan not a draw? Talent From WWE has a lot of Young viewers and that's why Cody failed in aeW.. This is Why people Like Edge or Mercedes can not draw in aeW bc they can not access there Full fanbase! Most of her fans can't find a PG show. (( The show has been moving in the ECW direction w/ blood & violence and with 4 TV type products... If They had one with a PG rating.. those Fans Will be unlocked 🔓.. My daughter her friends loved Sasha Banks.. And what ever audience Aew already has is what Will watch & draw them.. sure she could have a 900 k segment & if nothing else is interesting to her viewers.. They Will check out... AND NJPW did not do competitive numbers bc it was again a niche audience of... yes a niche audience.. That's why if you spend the money you are actually hurting These people by bringing them in.. I'm an Aew Fan That is disappointed with the lack of expansion.. Nobody Will be able to access there Full fanbase and that's Just a fact.. Taking an already niche audience ( For example golf ⛳ then if decide to have a New alternative to sunny days of golf & make it only rainy days.. Not Even prime Tiger woods can Make That work.. you are taking something That has 4example.. 5 % viewing audience and by doing it differently to where its a choice.. will maybe net you 25% of the 5 .. but if you offer comparable shows then those Fans will easily access & find.. Just saying

@@Chaz4543what are u talking about? Wrestling has always been about the story the gimmicks, just watching two nobodies go out and just do moves aew would be booming right now. Wrestling is about the stories and aura and the talent work rate is stupid and has never sold a ticket ever. The tickets are sold before they ever see the match so it has nothing to do with match quality it’s the stories the gimmicks the persona, this should not have to be explained but here we are talking to a meltzer fan boy

Exactly.

​​@@ThemePro24Nobody watches WWE Or any of the wrestling garbage🤡its niche..wwe included..

I agree. He’s kind of a hypocrite, which isn’t surprising lol. He was the one that considered ROH to be “real wrestling”

Ring of Honor totally damaged the wrestling business.

Spot on, CM be a Hypocrite

CM Punk says the opposite of whichever company he's working for. 😂😂😂

Indy darling edgelord

There is some. But the majority turned on WWE and moved to AEW at its inception. That 780k to 900k audience that AEW draws is the majority of the hardcore marks of the iwc that used to hijack WWE shows ironically chanting CM punks name and tossing beach balls around from 2014 to 2016 before they all raged themselves out of watching WWE then came back for AEW and cling to it like leeches as if it has no obvious glaring pot hole sized flaws all across the company.

They are literally the fans who made Punk what he is. Full stop.

He has convinced himself that he's truly the "best in the world". He worked himself into a shoot. And he convinced his fragile minded fans that he is as well.

Or maybe he was working with children who don’t know how to work. There ha.

@@kingdavid3621 Both things can be true at the same time.

The who vs. who? Who the fuck are these guys? _speaking from a regular wrestling fan's POV, not my own_ This is the issue with AEW. They suck ass at promoting most their people.

its not though. Its just never going to have the numbers the attitude era did again because that was a moment of time where Austin and Rock were bigger than wrestling at the time and people left when they did and never come back unless they do. WWE will never die until the world crumbles. as long as there is a society WWE and wrestling will be around.

That’s why Cody and Samoa Joe. 2 jobbers who are current champions. And actual looking heavyweight champions. Like Drew McIntre and Brain Cage. Are not given opportunities. The Smarks run everything now. And the casuals have left a long time ago.

No, that's part of the set. Always there. Punk didn't bring Bret Hart

How embarrassing

​@@moaziz23tune InWednesday.. I know WM 40 so far is a dud

It already started to suck when he was still there.

I think they just need a major reset. Start fresh again, break up all groups and just go from there to build whichever person they're gonna try to. Was hoping they was gonna stick w ricky starks but then nothing, now i want swerve having the belt. Idk not gonna act like ik how it should be. Just seems thigns are all mixed up at the moment besides a few things.

What's Collision drawing these days?

I hope you and the other 12 fans enjoy Will Ospreay and Ricochet doing 1000 flips off tables when they have a match.

ya

I enjoy AEW, but even I have to admit the quality of the product has dropped over the last couple of years.

Is because they have seen what a professional company looks like and AEW ain't it.

You're right, of course; nobody has their shit together, there's no leader, and over half the house is BARREN. Absolutely NOTHING like WWE. Great observation, thank you.

The only thing Punk is the best in the world at is working the room. He can look around, see what audience is watching him, then kiss up to them like no other. In Canada? Say you love Owen Hart and Hockey. In AEW? Say you hate WWE and you love "real" wrestling like Ring of Honor. In WWE? Talk about how AEW and ROH are for a "niche audience". In a blue state? Talk about trans rights and abortion rights. In a red state? Talk about working hard and supporting your family. This man's hypocrisy and manipulation knows NO bounds.

@@James-if3kc tell me you know fuck-all about the wrestling business without even admitting it... just with this comment. Wow 🤣

cant wait to see what vince and co have to say about that,because aew isn't just falling off,they are straight melting down before our eyes,,, and as usual,the clueless evps show they have learned nothing

@@omegamark9178 Cornette is that you? I'm Surprised You listen to Russo's podcast...

​@@omegamark9178what a mark

AEW have the better talent and hired a great team of late.. for a new company, they are definitely going to rise.. WWE spent a ton of money and had a large crowd there, and we were bored and looking to sit down

So embrassing This will be AEW dagger I defintley aint gonna tune in ill watch it on youtube

@@James-if3kc will somebody please think of the billionaires!!!

What???

Is he? Seems like he is making history. People keep talking about him.

@@ChristopherSB85 so did Hitler? what’s your point???

Why put over Dr pepper if Pepsi is paying you?

You proved my point. He will lie for money. All he cares about.

@James-if3kc it's not lying for money....lmao it's called doing business. I'd wager that you aren't or very well versed in it. It would be idiotic to do or say things against who you work for. Having pride in what you do is fine but that doesn't pay the bills. You act like some moral authority when you would do way more for way less.

But here's the thing: His fans claim to love him because he's honest. He supposedly prides himself on being honest. Rememeber his catchphrase "tell me when I'm telling lies"? ALL HE DOES IS LIE! He talks out of both sides of his mouth, depending on what will suit him best. He only looks out for himself. That's all fine and good, but to put on this air of "always being honest", you gotta be kidding me. Why are you fans fooling yourselves about him?

@James-if3kc oh I never said he was honest. I don't know him. Personally I don't care what he or anyone else says. I'm just saying it's not necessarily lying so much as business. In that instance anyhow

"Be a man, Punk" 😂

That's all Punk has ever done. Repeats whatever is popular to say at the moment. Whether it's about wrestling or social issues, he will latch onto whatever makes people cheer him the loudest. Then he will turn right around and say the complete opposite of it when he goes somewhere else with a different audience. Not a single word that comes out of his mouth is genuine. He is a narcissistic manipulator, and yes I hate those words because they're so overused, but they have never been more appropriate than they are for Punk.

Not really. WWE made wrestling general. You don't have to be wrestling fans to get into. While only certain of people can understand AEW

@@SandMan1998WWE is Sports Entertainment, so is AEW. There is literally no difference between the fan base of either company other than the fact that they hate each other. Professional wrestling in a technical sense doesn’t exist anymore.

@@James-if3kc The only genuine opinions he has are political ones, and they're so pedestrian, you could install a crosswalk on his tongue.

LOL! Brilliant comment! Punk goes along with whatever is popular to say about politics too. Usually takes the SJW stance, unless he's trying to pander to conservatives, which he's done too. And he's completely misinformed about all of it. He once said that the Supreme Court is "all old white men" when there is a black man and a Hispanic woman on it.

Cheating on a pole match.
