I’m just sad we will never get Punk v Cabana out of it. Tony is a coward if he doesn’t make a Boom Boom main event.

I hadn’t even seen the majority of quotes that Punk scrum, only the headline bits. That fucking PWG dig Christ you cuuuuuunt who do you think you’re working with. Bet Excalibur loved that line

Punk's existence is just kind of a downer to think about at this point, he is doomed to this Groundhog Day of suddenly deciding everyone is a cunt and scorching the earth. How much longer before his ire is turned FTR, Tony, April, Larry, the good folks at Marvel Comics even
The show wasn't bad, the standard now seems to be "you could make a brilliant 2.5 hour card out of it if you have the energy to watch it all". I don't mind screwy finishes to dangerous ladder matches because I'm burnt out on dangerous ladder matches anyway; no problem with them sticking with the Acclaimed losing as long as they recognise they're made now and book them accordingly.
Dynamite is going to be a weird vibe, the MJF angle feels a bit "ehh what's even the point", to say nothing of death triangle vs best friends and such, through no fault of their own
Hopefully the successful completion of the video game isn't in anyway impacted by this ongoing series of venomous public declamations, violent brawls and legal recriminations

lol that finish was dogshit
The whole match was dogshit. Not a slight on any of the wrestlers involved, but who the fuck booked that? The rules didn’t make any sense: it was basically a gauntlet that could be won any time, so if someone from the first two in grabbed the token, then what’s-his-face doesn’t get his stupid moment at the end. Honestly it annoyed me so much. It’s the worst thing AEW has done. Worse than the exploding ring. Worse than the Librarians.
I said on Twitter that I graded the whole show as an A+ for effort but a D for the booking. Someone I follow there suggested last week that AEW is a ‘pop’ promotion compared to WWE being a ‘heat’ promotion but all the booking on Sunday was for heat.
The Punk shit is so, so embarrassing.
OTM. If it’s a shoot, it makes him look like a fucking whiny baby-man. Like, whatever happened between the podcast and that email in 2016, here’s facts: Colt hasn’t said a word about it ever, but Punk won’t fucking let anyone forget it. Then on the other hand, if it’s all part of some elaborate shoot? then they all look like dickheads and I’m out.

― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 6 September 2022 17:48 (one year ago) link
The more details that come out, the more embarrassing it looks. Like that no one asked Punk about Colt, he made a journo bring up he was friends with him and used that to start ranting about him. Or that Ace Steel seemingly bit Kenny Omega.

Finally getting around to the main event. This is brutal, brutal stuff. It’s not ended yet and maybe the afters will have ruined it for a lot of people, but this is honestly looking like one of my favourite AEW matches since Hangman-Bryan

Putting my “the Montreal Screwjob was a work!” hat on, this whole thing reads as sus to me. Until a few months ago, AEW kind of had a reputation as a place where stuff didn’t leak to the dirtsheets. Then from out of nowhere TK makes a statement about putting an end to leaks (which didn’t exist, and which is rich coming from a guy who’s been an Observer subscriber for decades) and suddenly they’re ‘leaking’ like sieve. And then we get this whole… mess. It’s fish four days old, I won’t buy it.

Idk man, making the company look like it's abysmally run and most of its top stars are terrible, unprofessional people so they can randomly start an out of nowhere worked shoot angle at the expense of the major MJF angle they just presumably spent huge money getting a Stones song for?

Didn’t TK say something during a pre-All Out scrum about a good way to settle personal lockeroom could be in the ring? Kinda felt like foreshadowing at the time.

There is no way this is a work, come on. As has been observed elsewhere, if nothing else TK is no actor. the idea that he was feigning during that presser is ludicrous

In fairness, I agree with this and it’s the thing that makes me preface my comments with “putting my ‘screwjob was a work!’ hat on” and means I’d never bet money on it.

(Mind you, they did waste the money licensing that song for an ill-conceived bit that fell flat with the live crowd, at best. I don’t understand it, either.)

And seemingly no Wardlow, TNT champion or FTR, best tag team in the company.
