I'm not a Punk fan, but I do like this little twist on the classic Piper-ism of "I change the questions".

2020, not 2019, no?

He hinted enough in interviews both then and after signing with AEW that indicated he would’ve been open to a return with WWE if the money was right but they seemed to be kind of not all in on negotiating with Punk. And rightfully so. Punk wasn't a draw. Not true. He’s meant an increase in PPV buys and Dynamite’s average rating since he came in. MITB 2011 saw a sizable increase in buys from the prior year too.

Yeah I think the numbers he brings in for AEW put the notion that he isn't a draw to rest for good. But there will always be some people moving goalposts.

And rightfully so. Punk wasn't a draw. There's plenty of thing to call Punk and criticize him for - but he's absolutely a draw. He sold out the United Center on the *speculation* he *might* be there. That's irrefutable. You don't sell out the United Center unless you're a draw.

Honestly the only thing he did on Backstage that I kinda enjoyed was that little shoot/promo thing they had him on Tom Arnold where he ''accidentally'' said Seth, admittedly I didn't watch Backstage but I watched that on YouTube. Outside of that I wasn't interested in Backstage and even that I only watched on YouTube because I was told about it tbh.

God this was (and still is) so cringe to me. Remember when Miz made like a half hearted joke about that line in almost a “hey I’m not as good as Punk” way and Punk went way over the top in response

Dude. It's facts. Look up the ratings. I mean, if you look up just the ratings, sure. You could argue that. But you’ve never really responded to anyone’s counterpoints on this topic anyway so I really don’t expect any different here. What is there to argue? Do I need to provide links to the ratings? I'm a FAN of WWE Punk. But he wasn't a draw.

The great bastion of someone with no argument is when instead of addressing the many people providing contradictory evidence or counterpoints, they argue against the non-points and restate their argument as fact. "The ratings" prove Punk isn't a draw. No not the ratings all you other folk are posting. The ratings.

There is also the fact he sold tons of merch. Still does. Anyway, WWE Backstage was a FOX Sports show independent of WWE. It's like how they do NFL, NBA, MLB, UEFA, and other shows covering those specific entities.

Def wouldn't have happened as he and HHH aren't the closet of friends but I woulda liked to see CM Punk in NXT 2017-2019. Maby not the entire 2 years but a small stint in there.

Whatever. I'm not gonna argue this point any further. I've got way more important shit to do in life. I'm out of this thread.
