punk now is good but man, this shit was on another level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3q6vXUw_3g
His match where he beats mox for the title is an easy top 5 aew match and it’s all punches and maybe like one dive.
>>19684856He's so fucking soulless now. Go back and watch his promo before his match with Bron last week. He's lost the passion again.
>>19685200Good, Phil's human trash and I'm glad he's suffering
>>19685200aew punk couldnt work long term because it was genuine anger and frustrations, that made for exciting and authentic promos but it also what led to the end of his run there. wwe feels more like a talented guy playing a role, which can be compelling, but never feels genuine
>"Hey Tony! How's your 400k doing?!"
>>19684856https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdhTmlYo3uEOne of the best promos I've ever heard and I feel like no one talks about it. This whole storyline where he gets squashed and then has to come back was so kino I don't know why Phil hated it
>>19685277the PPV match felt so heated, i was listening to the press conference live and thought phil was just foreshadowing a heel turn when he was shooting on everyone because he mentioned moxley in his rant
>>19684856He looks like he's dying of AIDS or somethingPG promos are all dogshit.
>>19684856>empty-headed fucking dumbfuck>TELL ME WHEN I'M TELLING LIEShe was cooking fr
>>19684856When AEW used to have real heat (sigh)
>>19685417his look was really bad in aew because tony just let guys wear whatever they wanted, yes
Punk has always been shit
>>19684856>punk now is goodhe’s actually currently really bad
>>19684856Gotten to bitch that got worked into suckin dat saudi blood dick
>>19685277Because he doesn't like Rocky movies
>>19684856Imagine how much better he could’ve been if he hadn’t >Been hurt>Gotten suspended >Tried working a style he clearly wasn’t capable at & botched nearly necking himself multiple times
>>19684856WWE killed his aura and made him kiss the ring
>>19688189He did that to himself
>>19688201By going to WWE
>>19684856This is what happens where there's some legitimate stakes and gripes behind the storylines. Shitposter Phil doing Hogan tribute spots and taking flying heabutts to the dick is an all timer run.
>>19685267I think I agree with that. Feels bizarre now to see a version of Punk who has the company behind him and nothing backstage to actually be angry about.
>>19688387He probably still has some gripes with somebody or something else backstage, but he's on his very last bridge, and he can't afford to burn this one. He literally had a billionaire marking out for everything he did like a little kid and he still found a way to get pissy, so it's hard to imagine he's put that part of his personality behind him.
>>19688387He still gets pissed at shit like Jey for example but the WWE machine is a lot better at hiding it than Tony was.
>>19684856Damn look at the amount of fans in the audience, look at that presentation, AEW were really in their prime here
>>19688504It just really makes me sad because AEW really had what it takes to be a serious contender at the beginning. I really do think there needs to be competition, but the only reason AEW is competition now is because Tony offers higher pay
>>19684856I didn't watch during his original run (I was in college) and I didn't watch AEW, so to me he's just a washed up, dried out Gen X'er. Nothing punk about this corpororate bootlicker. Hit the gym and get a clue.
>AEW sacrificed this for Colt Cabana and Jack Perry
>>19688189UFC killed his aura and ensured that the only fans left for that cuck are shoot cultists who believe that Punk can do no wrong.
>>19688418>he's on his very last bridgepunk was in talks to go to TNA after AEW fired him and before he was re-hired by WWEOWLBROS WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE
>>19688540>just let your employees assault whoever they want all the time bro, that's how you run a company
>>19688631>Just let your employees shoot on each other mid promo destroying the established story>Just let your employees put themselves and others at risk because you want to use real glass>just let your employees barge into locker rooms to start fights >just let your evps be active wrestlers with creative control
>>19688652COOKED THAT PIG
>>19688652punk shouldn't be so fragileyes, basedpunk started the fight, they wanted to talkpunk had more creative control than them
>>19688652kek
>>19688652>destroying the established storyHere's how I can tell you weren't watching AEW during this period. There was no established story up until that point. Hangman was champion and Punk walked out to challenge him and Hangman's first promo to set up the feud was what you are referring to. There was no "established story" that was "destroyed", Punk's feelings were hurt because of a cryptic sideways reference to something that only Punk knew about. That is not justification to assault someone.
>>19688668Who did Punk assault in this situation? Did he assault Hangman? Did he assault Colt Cabana?
>>19688710He assaulted the Bucks and Jack Perry. He attempted to bury Hangman unprompted on live TV due to his insecurities, and he had Colt Cabana removed from TV tapings.
>>19688163Can you imagine being Moxley in this situation?>Just have a kid>Just get out of rehab>Punk is already absolutely seething at half the roster>He thinks Tony is a complete push over and is just going to let him keep the belt forever>Tony says 'uh, hey, Mox, why don't you go tell Punk he's dropping the belt to you.'>How?>'You figure it out. You've got a mind for booking just like me! Tee hee!'>Tony prances away and you're like 'fuck'>Okay, I've got a plan, a solid angle that will work with the audience but how do I sell Phil on it?>Uh, well, you know what! It's just like Rocky, and if there's one thing Phil drools over day and night more than questionably aged girls it's American pop culture from the 70s-90s.>This will work.>So, uh... Punk-><TRIGGERED>>'THE ROCKY MOVIES ARE ACTUALLY A HECKING MONUMENT TO TOXIC MASCULITIY AND I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A SINGLE ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL TOOLS OF THE PATRIARCHY USED TO OPPRESS WOMEN!!!!'>Time to go back to drinking.
>>19688719>He assaulted the bucks>a group of people barge into your locker room and start a fight >this is him assaulting people >he got Colt off tv>Colt was on tv a week later and then almost killed himself and was never given tv time again
>>19688743>>He assaulted the bucksYes, he did. And Jack Perry too. That's why he was fired.
>>19688743>almost killed himselfI was in the building when this happened. I was the guy who told Jerry Lynn that Colt had the razor blade.
>>19684856Unironically stopped watching AEW when they fired Punk
>>19684856Even 2014 Punk whilst he wanted to kill himself every week was cutting better promos than this current neutured cuck tranny Phil we have. It's so fucking grim. Those UFC matches really sissified Phil, didn't they?
>>19688805Nah because he was still great in AEW. Losing a fight to Tiny Jack Perry sissified Phil kek
best shoot promo unironically better than the pipe bomb
>>19688843Tony gave him everything and he still used his promo powers to shit on the company because it wasn't enough
>>19688851If Cody was still there, he would have been able to tard wrangle the Bucks enough, and Punk might still be with them today
>>19688852Cody dipping the instant Punk came in was probably the single best move of his entire career
>>19688097compared to what else is there in WWE, or AEW for that matter, he is still good and at the upper end
>>19688843And not a single dime was drawn by AEW since.
AEW Punk had a generational run before his meltdown and now he's just boring. He sold out to the pedo MIGA fed.
>>19685218He's literally a human parasite.
>>19684856i miss phil. when he left i stopped watching. i watched him return to wwe for the crowd reaction but i can’t be fucked watching him amongst today’s high budget graphics/low budget acting tv show.
