Unless I’ve misremembering, it’s a bit insane that we never got a Punk and Bryan interaction.
When they were both signed, that was the big money match.
Honestly, I’ve thought about what AEW could have done better quite a bit in the past. Ultimately, I think a lot of the stuff that I wanted wouldn’t have worked because the locker room was a mess.
Think mistakes were made early on and it snowballed into a toxic environment later on.
The rift was then unpreventable.
When I went to the first All In at Wembley, 90% of the people I saw there were wearing CM Punk merch.
I don’t think people realise how much of an overlap was between Punk and AEW fans.
Yeah for sure, and the section I exited from had massive CM Punk chants as everyone made their way out at the end
100%.
He was the big attraction. Whilst there were FAR better wrestlers than him there, the story they could have weaved could have been so damn good, with so many people.
Kenny vs Punk would have been huge too. I know he’s not for everyone but those two could have done something special together I think.
It is kinda crazy to think the downturn that happened after All In. There’s been some incredible moments/matches and the rise of Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman’s journey and Toni Storms being awesome have been among the best stuff the company has done, but it has been a very slow rebuilding process.
Moving graphics back then were so cool. 
Bret really was quite good wasn’t he 
Dunno mate, that’s a bit controversial.
Somehow the phrase “Bret Hart Was Quite Good” has been saved on my phone as an auto complete option for forms.

Your boy is coming home @DavidHillier
I could quite happily go the rest of my life without seeing Chris Jericho on new wrestling programming.
Personally, I question how serious this WWE interest is.
And I don’t think Jericho is particularly keen to go back to WWE anyway.
Jericho will follow the place that gives him the most money and makes him feel more important.
I think in an ideal world for Jericho, Tony panics and throws him the money bag to keep him.
I can’t believe anyone cares what Chris Jericho does in 2025. Surely it’s just internet chin strokers.
The man is absolutely irrelevant.
God I hope not lol.
They’ll definitely bring him in for the nostalgia pop/moment and give him a (awful) retirement run and place in the HOF most likely.
Yeah, I know Tony’s a fool but surely he doesn’t fall for it.
I know he appreciates him a lot but there’s nothing left for him to do in AEW, especially for the money he’ll command.
I think Jericho will reluctantly accept what WWE offers him. A short run and a HOF induction.
Good luck with that by the way because Punk aside, all these returning legends have been booked like shit under Triple H.
Yep definitely. He’s gone for sure. He hasn’t been in good ring shape for a while and whilst the Learning Tree stuff was slightly entertaining at first it ran it’s course super quickly. He didn’t even have go away heat for me, it was change the channel heat.
You’d like to think it couldn’t be any worse than Cenas retirement run, but wouldn’t be surprised lol.
I hate that Panda
