Graeme Jones Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just watched Punk's rebirth into Professional Wrestling for....the 10th time today. That pop will never get old for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Daniel Garcia is a damn good technical wrestler but it's a shame he doesn't seem to have much of a character/personality and isn't much on the mic either. I hope he signs with AEW though but just needs some work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennsoe Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Would the pop for Punk be "better" if they didn't "know" he was coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Jones Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 How would it have been even better? That pop was off the *censored*ing charts lol XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the crowd be silent before erupting or would they go crazy right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Saint Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Imagine having Sting and CM Punk on the same roster. That's crazy. I can't wait to see what Darby has in store when he faces Punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched him for years now since he was just riding with people trying to get a spot by setting up the ring and he's come a long way very quickly even on just intensity and mannerisms in ring. Hopefully he can pick up at least the Ken Shamrock level of intense promo or something that will help him coast. Dude is a work rate monster and that should take him far alone. Or get him a manager, pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senex Beast Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 It will always be a great song! Something I wonder though is why the tron videos are all generic instead of clips of the wrestlers and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kman Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Still rewatching and thinking about CMs debut. What a moment in wrestling history. I haven't felt this way about wrestling in forever, as much as I don't like alot of what AEW offers, I cannot fault them on this. I hope they deliver on what is admittedly a fantastic start.

Honestly, the opposite is true. They opened the show with raucous "CM Punk" chants because the fans knew he was there. They didn't know he was necessarily going to open the show...so it was still a surprise. But the chants to open the show were definitely increased tenfold by the fact that they knew that was the night, and they expected it to happen. You really can't argue otherwise. The entire weight of that moment came from the opening chorus of "CM Punk" then segueing to "Oh my god, he's actually here!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the whole week, the whole week there was this air around, this anxiety, this crackling in the air that something is happening. We had those teasers, the reports etc but we didnt knew it...we hoped, we expected...but we didnt knew. And that made it ten times more exciting.

My bro wants one but he said he'll wait for when we go to the show here next month. I told him have fun waiting in that long ass line if those pics of the line going two floors long is anything to go by. I was also reading comments about how they didn't put a limit to how many shirts people could get so some people bought stacks of the Punk shirt. So it sold out before a lot of folks could get em. F.

Senex Beast Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 It's crazy how many times I've seen Punk's entrance and promo all weekend so far. It's like how I am with certain game or movie trailers! As for Tony Khan, he's such a dork but I really appreciate his genuine fandom,passion and positive enthusiasm!

Graeme Jones Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 The fact that Punk's debut is almost at 5 million views is awesome. Pissant T-Shirt company? Punk can't draw a *censored*ing dime? AEW not competition? WWE need to wake up and face facts that AEW are competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Jones Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 5.2 Mil? Bloody hell lol. That' gonna be AEW's most viewed video of all time, well...possibly.
