Man just thinking about his onscreen stuff since coming back...what a nothing run to implode yourself over. If he kept busting out storylines on the level of the MJF one it'd be harder to debate his worth but after that it feels like his creative juices were just tapped. I keep saying this but I really think TK's spiel about second chances shows his thought process here, flawed as it may be. Others got second chances and bettered themselves and helped the shows, and Punk...see everything he did backstage in this run. That Mox video reminded me just how shit his storytelling was before he went with a quick loss due to a bad foot and then that weird promo with Ace Steel swearing healing his foot. May have the details or timeline wrong but that promo was some self indulgent nonsense.

It honestly is weird how CM Punk vanished and was never seen again after promising his ankle injury wouldn't keep him out for long. Worried about the guy - hope he comes back to renew his feud with MJF!

What will be the punishment for Jack Perry? They're gonna send him back to the Jungle

The proverbial body is still hot and there's people out there running conspiracy theories that The Elite were in Tony Khan's ears, telling him to fire Punk while Jack Perry gets no punishment...

To borrow a quote from the great prophet Steiner: Tell your story walking bitch! It was foretold by the prophet eddie kingston that phil would quit again and leave for 7 years

Sorely tempted to watch Collision instead of Payback just to see the crowd.

I think keeping a soft brand split would be a good thing because I like that Collision gives some talent being lost in the Dynamite/Rampage shuffle to breathe like Starks, BCG, Hobbs, etc.
But the criteria on who should be on Collision more often than Dynamite shouldn't be "Punk likes you or not."

Boy, this really validates my decision to drive to Regina for Punk/Joe. Wanted to see Punk live at least once, and absolutely thought there was a high probability something like this happened before they toured Canada again.

Punk is the kind of personality that could ONLY exist in the kinder, gentler wrestling of the modern era. It's not an indictment of wrestling's evolution from tough guy sociopaths, just an observation.
Even 90's HBK was smart enough to be friends with guys who could fight his battles for him in a pinch.
Can you imagine Pepsi Phil pulling this shit in a Mid South locker room? Or in the coked-out insanity that was 80's WWF?

What will be the punishment for Jack Perry? He's already been suspended for his role in it It's like the first suspension all over again where The Elite served their suspensions, came back, and people whinged about how The Elite "got away with it" like damn is "CM Punk's enemies should be fired" the only reasonable punishment at this point

Crying at that stat. Time well spent. Time and money well spent. Even if he never sees another red cent [see: "with cause"], Lord know just how much money he's made in just those two years. Which makes it that much crazier that he had a whole billionaire and major network trying to build an entire wrestling company around him, and threw it all away because he had to put "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry in check. Perhaps the greatest bag fumble in wrestling history.

Man, I really really want Jack Perry's single run to work now. Change up his music, get the gears moving.

Collision should open with a 45-minute Elite promo where they don’t talk and just laugh uncontrollably as they pour bottles of Pepsi on the ground.

Hence the reason I have never signed a contract with any major Japanese promotion at any point.
