Lunchbox Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 God thats bad, they really should do Excalibur and maybe Cabana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I'd love Excalibur and Ian Riccaboni to be the commentary team. I thought they did good at All In...though I'd imagine Ian is tied down to ROH. Colt would be the next best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Excalibur and anyone really. Think the dude is on a totally different level from anyone else today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Saint Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Excalibur and JR would be hilarious. (Little known fact: Excalibur is from Detroit, Michigan.) Actually, Excalibur and Josh Barnett would be a great commentary team. I was very impressed by Barnett when he was paired with Mauro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
вrаndоn. Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Jim RossIs this legit or?I'm hoping not, he's legendary and all but his last showing on NJPW wasn't all that. To be fair, I doubt he knew many of the wrestlers on the show and probably didnt even know how to pronounce their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGION Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Jim RossIs this legit or?I'm hoping not, he's legendary and all but his last showing on NJPW wasn't all that. To be fair, I doubt he knew many of the wrestlers on the show and probably didnt even know how to pronounce their names. Which makes him bad at his job. Especially if you compare it to people like Michael Cole and Matt Striker, who are capable of falsley giving us a full history of any wrestler that appears on screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennsoe Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 If Cabana is a part of this company in any shape, they can forget abou getting CM Punk down the line... Lot of bad blood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 i dont know why people are still expecting Punk to come back to wrestling. every discussion about any promotion has somebody talking about Punk signing with them as if he is just a willing free agent.

Slevin. Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Never really heard Cabana on commentary so I can't comment (derp pun). I just like the vibe Excalibur brings, he sounds like he's having an absolute blast, especially when he was working with Chuckie T or Steen. Same with the Progress guys now. I just think it adds a different element to it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I doubt Punk will wrestle, but having him on commentary would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Saint Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Depending on how flexible his contract with that MMA company (the name escapes me at the moment), I'm sure Punk wouldn't mind doing commentary. Didn't he and the aforementioned Excalibur worked together before? Or am I thinking of Jimmy Bower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Nova Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think the best shot of Punk ever coming back to wrestling in any capacity at this point would be AEW. Hes extremely good friends with the Bucks, he would get a huge contract probably, including insurance through them? Who knows, wrestling is a never say never world and we all know that. Would certainly be cool to see him come back but i wont hold my breath. Imagine the reaction he would get, and matches wed see him in. If the Elite truly want to change the universe thatd certainly be one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Lights Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Honestly I think the only reason Punk would come to AEW is to specifically go against the WWE. This is my thought as well. If Punk ever does anything in wrestling again, it'd be to spite WWE and for no other reason. That's why I haven't completely written off his return to a ring quite yet, simply because the guy seems like he really holds grudges and likes spitting in the ace of those who he feels wronged him.

EJ! Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 yall get that from Punk really? the lawsuit is settled, i really doubt Punk is still holding onto negativity like that. he likely wont go back to WWE but because the bridge is burned, not because he wants to spite them by going to AEW. im sure a move to AEW (if it happens which i still doubt) would be because he got that itch and wants to scratch it in a place where he can support his friends and avoid his former employers with no malice intended.

glennsoe Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Aren't they already "loosing" Money since they don't have any shows until May and have wrestlers under contract.... Unless they have it in theire contract that they only pay "per apperance".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
