Figures, he is a quieter after all.

There’s a photo floating around where he’s wearing the exact same hoodie as the dude in the video. It isn’t an old photo either. Dudes going grey in the beard lol

I'm pretty offended that someone is using 'Walk' as their music.

Come on dude. It's been claimed. Get another song.

[Sam Punk]

He's actually smiling.

Even he's still happy about Kofi winning at WM!

Also, makes sense that he'd do a small show unannounced for Dave Prazak and Ace Steele. Seems like something he'd do.

This is exactly how he said he would come back

Yeah, this is exactly what he said he would do if he returned to wrestling on that infamous Art of Wrestling episode.

[Mozenrath]

I'm more surprised he and Colt were both there. They work things out, or were they both just there for Ace Steel's sake?

[Joe Neglia]

Knowing Punk, he could very well have handed his hoodie to someone backstage and said "Hey, wanna f*** with the internet marks?"

Colt wasn't there far as I know, they just mention he started there.

The promoter of the company is in the edit thread and confirmed it was Punk.
I’m happy for Punk



Also if AEW got punk bey got my attention

[Mister Pigwell]

Well this is huge damn wrestling news.

On one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if Punk wanted to screw with everyone and handed a friend of his the clothes he was wearing just to get this stuff off, you know how Punk is.

On the other hand, Meltzer said Punk quietly competed in a Brazilian Jiujutsu tournament recently and got third place in the 199 pound division and there were only 3 competitors. Punk probably was like "yikes, lemme get back into this wrestling thing" and immediately set this up lol. If he ever got back into wrestling I could see him starting small to see if he still has the fire for it and then trying something like this out. If it felt good then he'd probably continue it and if it didn't then he can at least say the feeling is gone. I noticed recently he's gone from saying he doesn't watch wrestling to knowing exactly what happened at WM so that in itself makes me think "ok, he might be watching it again", idk.

My opinion is that it's probably Punk just to see if he loves wrestling still. Regardless, he's more connected to it now than he was some years ago when he wanted nothing to do with it.

I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or not. Sounds like something Bobby Heenan would say.

Yeah I thought it was a joke too but it's real.

Props to Punk for trying these fighting sports out but that's not for him. I didn't even wanna make a thread about it.
