We all accept Eddie Kingston having fifty enemies at once, do we not? I guess, but Eddie's character is literally that he's an unhinged paranoid maniac. And even then I can't think of an example where he just went on a rant on someone he hasn't interacted with for months. CM Punk’s character is being CM Punk, a messy bitch.

Eddie is consistent and feels like the realest thing on the show.
Punk wrestles as a face, does a promo as a heel, does another promo as a face, pokes fun at rumours, gets angry about other rumours, acts like he's in on the joke, and then acts like he's never heard a joke in his life.
Eddie is fun. Punk is exhausting.
I said pages ago about Punk that the only thing consistent about him is his inconsistency and I stand by that.

No wonder Punk has praised Cornette, both get to bully and insult everyone theywant and hide behind a character

CM Sunk Cost Fallacy strikes again. Watching Collision was fun while Phil keeping his gob shut lasted. Unless he does this on TV it's not going to actually effect what Collision is doing That being said, he shouldn't be doing it without anywhere for it to go because he should know how it's gonna be taken. I've been thinking about dropping watching Collision anyway: I don't watch it live, and I don't have the time to watch 2 hours of wrestling week-to-week. Punk's already been on the bubble with me, so with this stunt--work or shoot, it doesn't matter, I'm not enjoying it either way--he's given me a good enough reason to drop a show in which my interest and time commitment was already flagging. And I've given consideration to skipping AEW's next big shows, Wembley then the following PPV, so here's another check mark in the "forget about them" column for me.

So I assume they are setting up a feud with him and Hangman as he can't be that crazy to shoot on him now But Punk is in like 3 other feuds so where will this fit in Punk is just a petty bitch that cant get over anything The Miz nods sagely from the three bedroom, two bathroom house he has in Punk’s head.

I intensely hope Hangman just never acknowledges the guy’s existence ever again That’s legitimately the best course of action for him.

I've heard he put in for planning permission to build an extension to that house, it'll be called the Hangman wing. no word on if HHH has his own house in the neighbourhood.

Not that it would increase with Punk working to make him look bad. And not that he needs ,he doesn't live a lavish life style or spend or stupid stuff. He gets plenty without feuding witb Punk

I just wanna throw it out there that MMA training or not, I believe in my heart of hearts that Hangman would absolutely starch Punk so hard it'd knock his tattoos off. I think most of this board would, tbh. We've seen that Punk in an actual fight, despite so much training, lacks an unbelievable level of inability to grasp even the slightest of fundamentals. Even sight unseen, I'm taking the person I've never seen fight vs the person I have, twice. Page would absolutely kick Punk’s ass in a real fight. Shit, I’d give Miz even money against Punk.

Also Eddie has openly admited about his demons and personal problems It's also those demons that makes his character that much more sympathetic. In spite of all of his past faults, you want the man to succeed since he's admitted that a lot of those problems are of his own doing. When he stumbles, you want him to get back up and continue going down the right path. With Punk, it basically feels as if all of his problems are as a result of someone else's fault.

Miz was trained by sparring with Coral back in the early 2000s. He'd totally beat Punk in a fight. Plus, let's not forget about Miz totally owning the pit at that 2001 Linkin Park / Taproot show. He comes from a Nu Metal background.

Also, he was a two sport athlete in high school, won The Challenge twice, won a three part episode of Fear Factor, MVP of the MLB Celebrity Game, hit that half court shot in the NBA Celebrity game that should have counted……. Anyway, point is, people forget how much of an athlete Miz is, and he’s less beat up than Punk is.

I legitimately enjoy the insanity of reading about which wrestler would kick Punk's ass. It's one of my favorite recurring themes of this thread.😁
