AEW Collision August 5th, 2023: “World” Title on the line

[Marty McFourth]

Really good show tonight. Going to check back in to the Summerslam chat. Enjoy your night fellas.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

This is why I said like a month ago that I’m not really sure that the plan is for a full punk heel turn. Tony probably doesn’t want to hurt his drawing capabilities.

 

[Roy Mustang]

Punk not turning fully heel is dumb

 

[Roy Mustang]

Especially since he is at times literally goading the crowd for more boos. Punk ain't a dumbass so surely the plan is to turn him fully heel at some point

 

[Hoss]

Or he just enjoys riding the line

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I love a good heel punk myself, but yeah, I don’t think it’s happening.

At least not completely. A 1997 Bret is a possibility.

Patience is a virtue

 

[Roy Mustang]

Also feel weird about guy who has mostly been getting cheers turning heel. Feels like a WWE move there

What you and I talked about is probably the best way to do it if it’s something they want to do.

I think that's reaching. I see absolutely nothing wrong with Ricky going heel again. He'll thrive.

 

[Hoss]

And better than waiting until his face momentum dries up

 

[Roy Mustang]

I think that's reaching. I see absolutely nothing wrong with Ricky going heel again. He'll thrive.

Maybe but it still feels very off when Punk is getting mixed reactions and Starks is being cheered

ya he hasn't been back that long either, he's showing shades but he needs a catalyst still

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Qn embarrassing loss for example

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Losing the unification match in Chicago would also work for that but I still think the idea that I came up with where punk actually wins the unification. They do the double turn, and then punk as a heel drops the belt back to hangman at double or nothing as a full circle thing would be tremendous storytelling
