Punk is not for everyone. I like him as a performer, but there is definitely something irritating and “unearned” about how he holds himself as a performer. I like guys taking themselves seriously. But it’s like Punk thinks he is a draw when he has been responsible for moving numbers maybe twice.

you know a joke is great when you have to explain it and it still falls flat. but this is how most of your "jokes" go.
rub out your tiny little hard on for punk, cumdork. you'll feel better. |

I do dislike Punk, I do not need to invent new reasons to hate him, I already hate him. It is embarrassing to a company saying they want to be more like real sports, yet they are pushing the one guy who we all know would get his ass beat by any of the wrestlers being forced to job to him. And why just because he is their boss' favorite wrestler. This dude who went 0-2, got absolutely destroyed in one with zero offense, then got toyed with so badly that the boss fired the opponent that beat him. His entire MMA Career consisted of 1 takedown. 2 fights, 1 takedown, yeah let's push THAT guy. |

my overall take on punk is better late than never. you can't deny that he brings established appeal and match quality to the table, but i'm sure even he would admit that his status has diminished as a result of his extended hiatus from pro wrestling, to where he is not quite the needle-mover he once was. wrestling has changed a ton in his absence. mma w/l record doesn't really hold any weight, not sure why cumdorx has to make that argument, or why there's any reason to hate, when hate carries such a strong connotation and considering you can still stomach watching his matches
that being said, i look forward to seeing perhaps the only penta match i have given a FUCK about in forever tonight. a fresh match that i really don't know what to expect from either guy in terms of chemistry, story, anything really. it is yet another one of those matches that could have been actually booked better but we're just seeing it for the sake of a good paper card on free weekly tv. by the way, was really surprised/relieved that there are no stupid, meaningless and unnecessary gimmick matches for dynamite tonight. huzzah!

Are we sure Punk didn't fuck X-Rod's mother, sister, or girlfriend? Maybe even some combination thereof?
Not sure how else I can fathom having THIS much vitriol toward CM Punk of all people. |

From what I'm to ascertain, there's lots of "hypocrisy" and "homerism" in the AEW versus WWE battle. In that the collective "we" ignores the shortcomings of AEW while complaining about the same things in WWE.
Also, apparently everyone "rides" Noid for criticizing AEW without watching it while many of us criticize WWE without watching it. This is from an inside source, close to the action. The only one I find annoying is Noid because he literally thinks he's the main character of all life. XRod is humorous to me. |

Punk’s a self-righteous, entitled, womanizing, homophobic language-using shithead. Not sure why you’re saying “CM Punk of all people” like he’s got this track record of being a great guy.

it's way too easy nowadays for people to write others off as misogynists and homophobes, which is unfortunate because there are actually people like that out there. surely takes like yours don't normalize that shit the least bit! only the righteous are near-sighted, but i digress

He clowned AEW for a solid 2 and a half years. He mocked them for their contract offers. He consistently said he would Never EVER EVER EVVVVVER wrestle again. He is STILL talking about FEDBAD even though he asked to go back. He took a job with Fox on a show about WWE to try and get his foot in the door. He THEN tried to get WWE to take him back again, and again WWE turned him down. Fox offered to pay Punk's salary if WWE would use him on Smackdown, Vince STILL said no thanks. He is as thin skinned as Tony Khan, and acts tough on Twitter to fans who don't virtually blow him, but everybody knows how easily he got his ass beat, twice. He FUMES over a throwaway comment Miz made on a backstage show, but then has to name drop Miz on AEW TV. He bitches about WWE getting blood money, but then thinks it is bullshit Bret Hart doesn't get to make that Saudi money. He complained about old stars coming back and takings spots, yet that is exactly what he has done. Regardless of my being wrong about who filed suit first, he absolutely dicked over Colt Cabana, mainly because Cabana visited friends when WWE was in town. He has the same music, same moves, same T-Shirt as he had in WWE, good thing he has that creative freedom to do EXACTLY the same character that FEDBAD FORCED him to do. He is a turd of a person. |

I don't think AEW's shortcomings are ignored like they aren't there inasmuch as the regular AEW viewers here are willing to give those things a pass because the show is overall enjoyable. I certainly have my gripes but it's nothing "gamebreaking" for me and hopefully remains that way. I don't feel like my time is wasted watching AEW, and at the end of the day, with a litany of entertainment options available, we shouldn't watch shit that makes us feel like we're wasting time that could be spent on things we enjoy. |

Also, if Xrod said “I went to a cemetery, dug up a random grave and shit on the coffin”, Noid would respond with “I don’t see why anyone would have a problem with this…”

My understanding is that AEW dicked him (because they are morons/possible some were threatened), but I did hear he tried to get back into the WWE. I didn’t believe they would say no to him, but when you think about what a headache he must have been (WWE were trying to push him for years before the pipe-bomb) and they probably knew they’d get no return off their investment, I tend to believe it now. Punk’s not a draw. He’s kind of a Trojan horse you can let go to a rival and watch them get nothing out of him. |

This place is getting fairer, it seems. The magic is wearing off. People realize “Eh, this is kind of the shits.” In my opinion, I don’t think the calibrations are completely honest just yet. People are still willing this thing to be better than it actually is. They’ll tell themselves it’s entertaining. Criticism is becoming more commonplace though. Guys like xrod, Lock Jaw, XL, Fignuts, Maluco and even Mr. JL with his rare appearance lately deserve credit for that. |

Also, can’t agree with your last assessment. Noid can be a blowhard but his criticisms of AEW hold water a lot of the time. He loses me by going “too far the other way” to create “balance” in the argument. However, he does form his own opinion (usually) and contributes his own thoughts. On the other hand, xrod spends a lot of time reposting crap from Twitter and Reddit, neither of which are platforms I care for, and making exceptional reaches to criticise Tony Khan and/or Punk. Like, there is a decent amount of stuff you can legitimately criticise AEW for (too much garbage wrestling, too much blood, etc), that you shouldn’t need to reach that far. That said, it’s his prerogative to do all of that, and if it brings him joy, let it be. |
