It has GOT to be storyline at this point considering the post-match attack

I know about 100% of everyone will disagree with me on this, but what was the point of the Mox and Punk match last week. AEW prides itself on being a company where wins and loses matter, but if that matters so much then why even have the match last week when you knew you were going to do Punk v Mox at All Out. AEW could have just saved that match for the PPV and everything would be normal, for a lack of a better term. If the only reason for Punk's lose last week to Mox was just so he could out in Chicago and be all like "I am going to retire" only for Ace Steel to come out and be like "Nah, bruh" and then a fired up Punk is all like "Fuck yeah, I will beat mox in chicago". Then what was the point of the match in Cleveland.

And I am saying all of this with no bias before anyone brings that up because I think they did with the acclaimed and gun club was just a dumb, not the two getting together but the whole get together then turn then turn again. My other complaint is one I know I will get told to "shut up on" or whatever you want to say, but AEW matches have become very predictable. We know Punk is winning over Mox, we know The Eltie will be the Trios champions, and we know Jericho is winning, though honestly, I could see this one going either way, but Jericho is more favored. I do get the argument of "yeah it is predictable, but the match itself is worth the watch." and I do get. Just that i my head knowing the outcome of the match the match in itself begins dull, for a lack of a better term.

So yeah, after rampage and All Out, i will be pretty much done with AEW (so be happy jeff. it means you wont see me around lol)

the point of the match in Cleveland was to set up more interest in the rematch and build more of a story. You're certainly entitled to like what you like and not watch what you don't enjoy, but I thought this was pretty simple and effective storytelling. I could go on a bunch of reasoning too:

- established a precedent that the incumbent winning over the interim is not a foregone conclusion
- established that Punk now doubts himself after a brutal foot injury
- further establishes that Mox is THE GUY to beat and if you slip up, he eats you alive
- *potentially* sets up a swerve/heel turn at All Out
- gave Mox a huge pop in his hometown for unifying the titles, something he never got during his first reign that was crowdless

tl/dr they are telling a story, and it's not done yet. I feel like you are getting upset at something and assuming what the end result will be. Do I think Punk is winning? yes, but how? That's the question. Also, they've just told us Mox can squash him, so kayfabe wise, it's not at all a forgone conclusion.

Regarding The Elite, Hangman was just added to Dark Order. So to say that's a for sure thing I don't think is correct. Are they the favorites after last night? yes. But...they were always favorites from the get go, so I'm not quite sure anything has changed. I'd also point out young Bucks were favorites to win the tag titles when AEW started...and then didn't. Everyone expected Punk to beat Mox last week...and then didn't. Which unfortunately pokes holes in your predictability argument.

In any case, it's unfortunate that these small things stop you from enjoying some great wrestling, hope you find something that suits you better. I dunno why you think it would affect me positively though, I prefer more people watch and chat than less.

Yeah, the more people in the chats the better. Makes it way more fun when you got folks watching and chatting. Losing just one person honestly sucks tbh. So hopefully you change your mind and stick with us every Wednesday, Friday, and then the Saturday’s and Sunday’s shows as well!

Looks like Photoshop banners when you put a smaller render in the foreground lol, why does CM Punk look so small compared to the fans?

Two Mox promos in the same show was too much.

Wait, you an Omega fan? or just using this to shit on Mox and Punk? I’m not mad or coming at ya if so. I’m just curious. Cause I can’t remember your opinion on Kenny.

Nope....I think they all stink.

Just pointing out the obvious again.
