Yeah that's a good point. They'd have to come up with a believable reason for him to be in a title match/tournament and then not take the title from him once he won it and decided to fuck off

I mean, if the plan is a workhorse champ then of course it's Dragon but doesn't this set up MJF having a huge angle perfectly? sneaking in and taking the belt and doing what WWE chickened out in doing in 2011? PS: I'd take ANY star they have as the new champ except Adam Cole, please don't let it be Cole.

What's the timeline for a broken leg? a year?

That had to be on purpose.

The Punk stuff is a perfect example because the "pipe bomb" worked wonders as it built to a WWE title match. After that it continued into nonsense or stuff nobody wanted to actually see, like "Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque". This MJF stuff is basically someone bitching about not being treated fairly and wanting out of the company. That does not sound compelling at all to me nor something that's very new. Who could come to AEW's "rescue" and face MJF that could make all this worked shoot stuff worth it? I honestly have no answer.

That's a stretch, specially for guys like Punk and Danielson who so far have worked a number of different wrestlers on TV that they haven't interacted with since and were just there to have a new interesting matchup on TV.

I'm way more upset about Danielson not being booked for Dynamite (and it seems Rampage too) than anything involving him at DoN. I think we should've gotten an confrontation with Eddie before the Blood and Guts announcement. I guess the "drama" will be if Dragon actually joins the team for the cage match but him missing this week on TV doesn't sit right with me.

Los Angeles wasn't that into Wardlow, interesting.

I think he put his hands and was able to roll through.

That replay of how Cole beat Joe...yikes, it's as bad as I remembered.

Well shit, did Punk injure himself??

MACHKA

Well that was a miss.

I almost shut this shit off after "minute for minute draw". What the fuck.....

Aw fuck, shooty MJF ain't what I want to hear.

Yup. Hopefully this means he gets pissed off and starts trying new shit he can actually pull off more easily.

Punk gonna have to retire his top rope repertoire

Thread title should be "Go watch Top Gun: Maverick"

Now watching and holy shit, Aderall man was going through it

I wonder if Kenny will be able to come back in time for All Out so he can have a proper build to a huge matchup with Punk for the belt.

Like I said, I was kinda conflicted about the match but those last 5 minutes made it all make sense to me. Excellent main event, not the MOTYC I was expecting but that finishing sequence was awesome to me.

I'm as conflicted as this live crowd on it, tbh.

Punk is taking a beating, damn.

Can't believe they retained again, baffling.

He's not getting a big singles run anytime soon and him being the sacrifice when Eddie's deranged ass what about to commit murder on live PPV and then couldn't lift his fat ass for 5 minutes to save him from Jericho and Hager is gonna be a big angle.
