AEW Collision Live Thread - June 17th 2023 - Punk is Back

[Canadian Dragon]

I can be a fan of both and think punk is a heel, not everyone is a side picker

 

[Canadian Dragon]

so miss me with the tribalism

 

[Kross Rhodes]

why you gotta be like this lol

Nvm

 

[Kross Rhodes]

OK Jeff. I’ll bow out now.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Because you said that’s not a face move my guy. You seem invested specifically because it involved the elite. I think if it was anyone else you’d agree he’s acting like a dick they’re playing up a feud with.

so because i dont think something is a face move , im ''got'' because i like the elite. nah fam, insulting half the fan base can be seen a heel move. maybe its you who shoud learn to look at things from other ppls pov

 

[Canadian Dragon]

anyways, im going to enjoy booing him in toronto with my friends. cheers

Punk will definitely be booed anywhere in Canada due to his issues with Omega and Jericho. Similar to how he was treated by Long Island fans due to his MJF feud.

 

[Jimmy King]

It sucks being a fan of both Punk and The Elite like I am. When the inevitable does happen and he does have a feud with them I’ll be torn, but I know I’ll just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I mean it kinda kinda weird over me postulating that just because you insult a baby face doesn’t automatically make you heel. I was listening to your pov, but you seemingly wholesale reject my hypothesis even though he still wrestled with baby faces and against the heels that same night. Because in your words he wouldn’t have start fuck the elite chants. Which he didn’t even start anyway.

My only point was that he definitely heeled it up a bit, but other babyfaces in history still remain babyfaces, while acting in similar heelish manners. So it was possible that they’re not gonna fully turn him. And I’m not even saying they’re not going to turn him. I’m just saying it wasn’t that full blown turn yet. Unless FTR turned too and it was a heel on heel.

Anyways the boo bitch gif was obviously me playing with you. Boo who you want. It’s fine lmao

Me and Jim on the same page here. I do think that maybe Punk should put them over as a show of good faith. But Punk should get wins in the feud.

I’m pretty sure Punk was a dickish face in WWE as well. So he’ got a history of being the not clean cut baby face. Slightly different now, since here he probably definitely is going heel, and will be booed a lot more than he was in WWE, but he does have some history like this.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Yeah, I mean like not every babyfaces the John Cena cookie cutter talks about fruity pebbles, you know, etc. babyface. Some are still complete dicks.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Definitely along for the ride, and don’t blame anyone who does choose to boo him because it’s totally fine to boo faces or heels, or cheer faces or heels. We should feel lucky we get to just watch it all play out and experience it

 

[Hoss]

I think it's easy to read that the promo was intentionally divisive. He'll be booed many places, but treated like a God I'm Chicago and prolly some other locations. It will also definitely depend on who he's feuding with.
