AEW All Out 2022 Media Scrum and fallout Megathread *DYNAMITE SPOILERS*

[Canadian Dragon]

Idk I feel like I'd have to agree Hangman's booking wasn't good to agree with that for one lol the only thing I'll agree is Punk was way hotter during 90% of Hangman's reign but he also feuded with MJF for almost the entirety of it which was an all time feud so it was gonna overshadow everything

yeah I have to be clear about my own opinion. his match booking was fine, danielson feud was ok, cole feud started off hot. but some stuff just didnt click and it felt like Punk (iirc) was getting booked higher on the card?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I didn't think his booking sucked, but it was missing the "this is most important thing on the show" factor, which wasnt a big deal to me, personally, but I think that was still a "valid" criticism from people? perhaps im remembering wrong

 

[Canadian Dragon]

then again, according to Meltzer, some of the PPVs hangman headlined did better numbers than the ones Punk headlined, so maybe the booking thing is just a pov some ppl had that didnt affect viewership

Punk overshadowing the champ? Man has become what he hated during his title run in WWE.

I'm too lazy to look but this should be easy research lol Hangman did All Out 2019, Full Gear 2021, and Revolution 2022 and Punk only Double Or Nothing and All Out 2022 right? Or did Meltzer mean going back to WWE? Idk if comparing numbers from back then really works but I'd still be interested in them

Ain’t saying it’s wrong or anything. Just kinda funny to me that basically 10 years after he hated it, he did it (not saying intentionally or anything, just that it happened)

"You've become what you hated, the John Cena"

But nah I wouldn't say it's the same at all bc for one Page/Cole headlined Revolution despite people saying it shouldn't lol so the title still got the respect regardless

its prob an aew one but hes also probably technically correct but omitting context. not that its THAT much of a point anyways, AEW ppvs are never structured to be based around one super match so while the top of the card is often the biggest selling point, its far from the only one as they built a pretty good following on simply "kickass shows from top to bottom"

 

[Chris]

He's almost at full TONY KHANMAN Dan Lambert lol
