Don't you bersmich Bayonetta 2 and Splatoon by comparing it to the Punk Appreciatuon show Ok fair it's more like AEW's *launch* Wii U equivalent. Punk is the tablet controller and the disgruntled folks are IDK Nintendoland. Potential to be fun but lacking an identity and that big easy to explain hook to entice the audience with. for me it is if the Wii U launched with StarFox adventure Remake as its launch game and everytime you played it Fox would say " don't play the 3ds ,all it has is kiddie Zelda Games"

Ratings threads are almost always annoying AF. And it doesn’t matter which company either.

Ratings threads are fine, honestly, I get them and they're p useful but this and last week are making my eyes bleed with the shite CM Punk takes, like there's an entire 500 page pisstank there to dump it all in. Oh my god the worst selling show on the Canada tour was taped and aired of a weekend?? and all that somehow lead to a f***ing low rating? you're kidding me, I knew CM Punk tried to machete the Young Bucks! was he ever good??! f***ing snooze button immediately

They seem to bring out the tribalism in fans more than anything.
And now it’s not even just AEW vs. WWE, now it’s pro vs. anti Punk fans as well.

Or just a regular maximum security prison? I wanna know where I should send my hate mail.

Punk tanked the image of the company and of Tony Khan ,screwed multiple storylines ,assaulted people. Then we got to hear how Punk is the savior of AEW and Collision, that they needed him for it, kept still insulting whoever he wanted , got to be the face of the show calling himself the billion while being paid millions to draw under 500k and trying to make Collision the him vs everyone else show. It was literally the second coming. If anything all the dunking is still too light .

If anything all the dunkig is still to light . The company is about to break the all time attendance record for a wrestling show and drew a record gate for Forbidden Door. Can we please stop with the hyperbole? Come on. You can dislike Punk, that's one thing, but let's not pretend his stupid shit did irreparable damage. It didn't.

The company is doing very well I said so in the all in thread . I never said they were broken or couldnt repair the damage Punk done.It was even doing better before he got there the point is he did damage the company. Especially when one thing he did not damage is the absolute stellar reputation AEW ppvs have

'Collider' was a tongue in cheek throwaway line said on commentary like Kane dropping 'Kanenites' in that one promo, who knew it would cut so deep to be seen as tribalism in action lol

The more laughably untrue that is, the more obviously evil and sinister because it means he's working you as part of his diabolical plans to do something or other.

Holiday weekend could be so we’ll see what number they pull this week without those concerns.

I didn't mean to play it up as any kind of big deal...it wasn't...but Punk isn't exactly doing anything to assuage the "pro Punk v. anti Punk" tribalism that was being referenced.

Like, I'm far from a CM Punk fan after Muffingate, but some of you really need to touch some grass when it comes to this obsessive dislike of him.

It's okay to call me out , I honestly have fun on shitting on Punk the same way I had fun shittinf on control your narrative.but maybe I overdone here ,by public request I will remove myself from those threads unless something like Collision getting canceled happens

It would probably help if they built Collision shows up or used a Collision show to provide a hook for the next week's show. Because right now it feels like a B-show and it feels like dead air with barely any storylines.

I like Punk as a performer and still enjoy his work, but the Punk story was pretty much the biggest outside the ring story AEW has had in quite some time and did a lot of damage to people’s opinions of him and some would say to the quality of the shows due to the fallout. He also has a checkered past with lots of these types of issues, and could potentially be a reason the Elite do not re-sign, so it’s not a surprise that he has some hardcore detractors.
