Meltzer just reported on Observer Radio that they have Daily's Place ready as a backup if Punk falls through which is what I expected. So it's either United Center with Punk or Daily's Place without Punk. You know things are going well and your idea is absolutely iron clad when you have to have a backup venue for if your big star falls through and the difference is a place that seats over twenty thousand or the practice field for your dad's football team that seats 5,500. I mean it's a few weeks out, it's probably a good thing that Tony actually has a backup plan. I don't think I'd be running Chicago if Punk isn't gonna be there. I'd rather he have something in place than nothing. Not many places are gonna be available at a short notice like that and Daily's is considered AEW's heart at this point and not some "practice field" I would think for how much it mattered to AEW's lifespan and survival.

Well no the problem isn't having a backup plan, it's that they've gone this far into a process on a plan that's clearly in jeopardy enough right now for backup plans to be discussed this late into the game. They put too many eggs into a basket that is just as likely to go on Instagram and start calling out company mangement as to behave itself and show up to work.

Still one of AEW's best camera shots they've done. Was that during the Dante Martin/Matt Sydal series of bangers at the time?

I do agree they brought this on themselves, but if I had to choose Daily's over Chicago if it meant Punk was just not gonna come back, I'd welcome it with open arms lol If Punk still goes through as planned, fair I guess, I'm just happy to know there's at least something in place for if he doesn't that'll still work, barring another venue is selected like the Target Center, which chazraps said is free

If you're going to need to have backup plans like this for running a standard weekly TV show in a regular market just in case CM Punk decides to CM Punk it up then the f*** are you going to do if you have put him in a major PPV match and the day before he goes, "By the way license out the Pepsi logo to put on the belt's sideplates or I walk," or something? If you can't trust him to even just do his goddamn job without immediately blowing up then how in the hell are you going to have him be a marquee player?

Well that seems to be the conversation right now if Punk's even gonna come back. I'd say when it comes to trusting him that's taken a blow too, especially with what he's thrown a piss fit over, of all things. Even if he comes back, this was about as blatant of a wake up call as ever that the dude's being unreasonable as all hell lol

You run Chicago regardless. Punk doesn't show up, you have someone bury him on live TV for no-showing and letting down the fans.

Punk already had his whole fit about how Hangman "jeopardized a million dollar gate' in what turned out to be Punk's paranoid delusions of Hangman committing assault during the match, something which he had to be talked down from, which didn't happen in the end, but which Punk was still on about months later. Now he's apparently gotten into a fight over the re-hired-but-not-to-the-job-I-wanted-him status of his friend who bit a guy and it's had WBD have to change their plans for the upfronts. How can you rely on this guy? How can you trust a damn thing centered around him when he has these episodes?

If the network suits BELIEVE he's worth it, then it's definitely worth it for AEW to have him (for now). But the network suits are 100% incorrect to think he's worth it in the first place.

Seriously if I was someone excited as f*** to go to a show and it got moved somewhere else because one guy didn't show up I'd be mad as hell regardless of whether or not dude is the big hometown guy lmao

It'd suck but at the same time they haven't committed for a reason I suppose If the crowd doesn't give a shit that Punk isn't there then run it, but I guess they're afraid of the crowd hijacking the show. Maybe spell it out point blank that Punk ain't gonna be there, might bring the attendance down but at least you told them.

Punk is absolutely not worth any of this mess and it's embarrassing that we've gotten here Punk hurt AEW's rep and momentum with his silly muffiny antics. They then put in some tremendous hard work to get that positive wave back, with the UK show an especially hot ticket. And yet, back for another baffling swig of the poison chalice goes Tony, and here we go again. Embarrassing is the word, as is predictable, sadly.

They're kinda gonna have to eat shit on this one potentially just to avoid hurting their draw power in their key market.
