Oil seemed so hurt that Punk wasn’t even on the list Lols. But like Luke said outside of the MJF feud, his year wasn’t great. The injuries, the lackluster title wins vs page and Mox and then the brawl out stuff really tells the story more of Punk’s 2022.
@chrisradzion2148 Жыл бұрын
Punk’s year, imho, went of the rails (by design, though not his) with Adam Page. After that, the games started along with the injuries. My take is biased, but what Punk did after All Out was, in a way… pretty punk rock. The guy called specific people out (it annoys me when people say he took a dump on the whole roster; he was pretty specific about 4 guys- the EVPs and Adam Page). The EVPs and co took him up on his offer, and got their asses handed to them by a tired guy in his mid 40s with a torn tricep, and his even older trainer. And no after watching that trios match in Chicago a few weeks ago, it just reinforces my feeling he was right in this situation, even if it was not handled the best way.

I feel like the anti-climatic feeling you had for Mox is because I'd make an arguement he had this award locked up since June. It would have taken either really bad booking of Mox. The 1st half of the year he came back looking healthy and clean being the paragon of positive masculinity then Punk got hurt and he stepped up and have super consistent quality matches and segments. Then as he did the honors ready for a vacation but Brawl Out happened. Then like a Knight on the back of a Motorcycle he come riding in to save the day. I'm not sure what Sami could have had to top that type of insipirational year.

Unpopular opinion- CM Punk, wrestler of the year. He had that great feud with MJF, which was going to continue if not for the scrum incident. He was hampered by injuries. He also has been part of a story that is still being talked about today (though most of the current CM Punk news videos are click bait). And here’s the real unpopular part of my take- whether you like how he handled things or not, he’s the first to very publicly call out the BS, politics and booking games of the AEW EVPs and their friends. They started rumors, with help of “journalists” (cough-Meltzer-cough) and actively worked behind the scenes to sabotage Punk (and others, FTR being the best example). He called them out; they took him up on his offer; and, by all accounts, the EVPs and several friends got their rear ends handed to them by a guy in his mid 40s with a torn tricep, and his older trainer friend. The Bucks may have “exposed the the business”, but Punk finally exposed them. Im disappointed in the outcome (they left lots of money on the table), and I think Tony Kahn sided with wrong people, choosing friends (though that’s label is debatable) over business… But at the end of the day, Punk created a story that people still curious about, a story that maybe overshadowed the biggest story in wrestling in decades- the resigning of Vince McMahon. The only other real candidate would have to be Roman Reigns; doing the best work of his career, and without him, the whole Bloodline story isn’t a thing.

After the brawl out, when he cut that Legend promo, with just that few minutes boosted the morale, not only for the people watching, but reportedly for the people backstage as well. I just don't think anyone can deny how important Moxley was in that moment.

Oli was talking a whole lotta none-sense in this one. Seth is by far the most reliable talent in WWE right now, his character work is really good and he got organically over to the point were he is a tweener and not just a heel. His stuff with KO was fantastic, the feud with Roman, the Cody trilogy and everything in between was great. Sami is also incredible. Just because his matches recently are more storyline and emotion driven than work-rate focused doesn’t mean they aren’t good. I think his matches are sufficiently good in the technical aspect but the storyline elevates him so much. Without storytelling wrestling means nothing and Sami Zayn is absolutely amazing at it

This has to be the most obvious/overwhelming of the Oli for CM Punk agenda pushing. We understand that he is your favorite wrestler, we watched you cry LITERAL tears as he returned for the first time, and we cheered on Punk like everyone else during his time on top in the company, but this is too much. It has nothing to do with the "Brawl Out" stuff that prevents Punk from being the top 5, "HE WASN'T THERE". That argument can be applied to MJF (which let me remind you, charted on your list despite appearances based solely on his work and intrigue), the entire ELITE, and Hangman Page himself. Luke even revealed the votes of 3 because you're the only person who believes he belongs there. No one will think differently of you for liking his work, but don't rearrange criticism towards a wrestler just to fit the narrative you want to create. Jon Moxley more than deserved the #1 spot, go back to before Punk returned and hear all the praise and how he was a lock for wrestler of the year. (Jon or Dax Harwood)

@@christophermarriott1681 why is it always the low life weirdos that think calling someone a “mark” is the ultimate comeback. Lmao grow up dude. If you enjoy him that’s fine and if you wanna stick up for him like you wanna suck him off that’s fine too. He’s still an overrated bum that kisses other dudes but tries to be a tough guy lmao

Think Oli needs a big hug from Luke or Pete telling him that punk not being on the list is all right I think mox is an awesome choice for wrestler of the year for the way he took aew this year and put it on his back He cleaned up punk's mess A great year for mox Jericho had a great year too even if I didn't agree with him beating Kingston in that final match the barbed.wire everywhere match. A good list

100% Mox and the Sami Zayn. Would have liked to have seen Claudio on the list somewhere for his work in AEW/ROH, and perhaps Jade Cargill

Jade has the same match each time.

I'm sorry, but really? Jade?
@davidyoung6649 Жыл бұрын
@Whereta Jade is super over and has had a very successful winning streak. She is arguably the most consistent star in the Women's division. A number 10 spot would be great. Plus, it's just my opinion.

Zayn has had sum good matches too just mostly on Smackdown. IC Title matches with Ricochet and Nakamura in early 2022 were good and that fatal fourway in Montreal was rlly the beginning of that white hot babyface crowd reaction. He worked the crowd by selling an injury and playing the underdog then pulled out moves he hasn't done since 2017.

Sheamus said he wants to wrestle for atleast 8 more years so I wouldn't expect an early retirement from him.

Another year for him full of 5 star matches. Hoping there's another title feud for him with MJF in the future.

I get the point that Oli is trying to make, but I strongly disagree that Punk's offscreen stuff shouldn't impact his rating. If it was just him saying something stupid online, that's one thing, but his actions resulted in his title reign being culled immediately and then missed the last half of the year that he already missed a part of from injury. He didn't wrestle the last 3 months of the year. He shouldn't sniff the top 10.

I agree about Bianca, she was so amazing in NXT, I feel her main event call up hasn’t been as good minus the Becky matches, I haven’t been blown away…….wether that’s in her or the rest of the women’s roster I dunno
@southnewton1 Жыл бұрын
Gunther not being on the list is a huge shame. Also, Becky should be on there too I think. She has had the best set of matches this year out of any women in WWE/AEW. Her multiple matches with Bianca and Asuka were great and her match against Lita was better than it should have been. She also had a great performance in War Games despite just having come back from injury.
