So is Punk and Bryan vs. Young Bucks. The real money, of course, is Punk vs. the true Best in the World, "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage.

El Dragon Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Him mentioning his last night in Ring of Honor, a show I was there for, was beyond perfect. Such a great explanation for why he's back. Awesome promo, and now I just hope the work follows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even because of the match quality itself, although of course your mileage may vary, or even that it wouldn't attract viewers, the issue is that they are fucking dorks. Cannot even imagine that dweeb Omega trying to out-promo CM Punk, man. Gives me the heebie jeebies. Punk vs Mox or Miro would be cool - him going up against Page would be great.

Punk and Dragon doing a 2.0 version of The Hybrid Dolphis vs Young Bucks match from DDT4 2009 would be amazing. Just 20 minutes of Danielson and Roddy beating the absolute fuck out of the Bucks only to lose by fuckery. I think you'd love that match if you haven't already seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiraffejustin Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Not an AEW "guy", not a "WWE" guy either, but AEW has WWE beat in terms having organic moments that feel important. Obviously, tonight is one of those moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Given the success of all the wink wink promotion they did for Punk returning tonight, they should have a big ass Coundown after All Out that ends the day of the Arthur Ashe show. People will know what that means at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkdoc Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 What a hell of a night, man... Besides the obvious, i think going the quasi-Goldberg route with Jade is 100% the right move. i'd actually say she's in a rather similar spot to him in terms of size + athleticism + charisma + being green, so go with what's proven to work imo The only real downer was Mark Henry not exactly being ready for prime time, but i'm willing to give him time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 The Punk pop and entrance was everything you’d ever hope for, topped with a good return promo and hype for Darby/Punk which should be incredible if the rumours of Punk looking at his best in training are true. Thought that hour flew by; Cargill is green as grass and looks to the hard camera far too much but get her in there with Emi Sakura and she’ll be golden. Really dug the main; told a nice little compact story with a good body part focus and a nice little go-home crowd pleasing end. I like the duelling promos hosted by Mark Henry that they did this week and last. Both Moxley and Matt Lee popped me with the pregnancy line and “This arena has waited 20 years for a main event like this!” Obviously not every Rampage will have something like Punk’s return but give me a good tag match, a semi-squash, a good angle and a competitive main event every week and it’ll be a great formula.
