AEW Collision/WBD upfronts MegaThread

[Hoss]

Im not blaming him, im saying its insincere as fuck for him to act all sad about reporting it while counting his clicks lol

That's like saying it's insincere for me to be mad about being at my job while still collecting a paycheck

 

[Smart Marx]

Lmao the colt stuff is so funny

Alvarez has said a million times he never heard it from anyone until fans started saying it to him and he's like "where the fuck did this come from"

But that's such a dead horse that will never die, clearly the Bucks leaked it

I doubt will ever get confirmation on exactly where it came from, but most likely leaked from somewhere.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I think fair or not, he is treated to a different standard than other personalities because he has been attached at the hip to Dave for a long time, and he has been shitting on WWE for a very very long time so there's no shortage of ppl wanting to dunk on ol Alvarez. fwiw I don't even dislike the guy or doubt Punk is likely overeacting about what he said today, much like every other time he's probably heard enough from secondary sources about stuff Alv been saying he got sick of it. or he's doing a bit of that a driving up some talk , always hard to tell with this company

Tony Khan should sign Mike Goldberg and Chael Sonnen as the announce team for AEW Collision

I've told you first hand that when those rumors first started I never saw a single reputable site report on it for MONTHS but I saw random Twitter fans say it as if it was fact. Not SRS, not Meltzer, not Alvarez, not Keller, none of them ever gave it any credence yet somehow its their fault that sites that aren't theirs and fans on Twitter chose to believe it

 

[Hoss]

I'd sooner see them hire Mike Adamle

 

[Chris]

Like literally if Dave or Bryan ever said "yep, colts not there bc of Punk" this would be an entirely different story but that never happened not one time lol

 

[Wiseman]

Step one, put Nigel at the booth for Collison.

Step two, bring in Mantis Black.

that's a bit reductive. If he was saying he just didn't like being a reporter overall but it pays the bills that is one thing. To selectively start "listen I hate to talk about it some more, but CM Punk..." I dunno, it feels insincere to me / I guess I don't believe him lol.

Someone reported on it. I’ve seen them. I’ve never said whose fault it was. I’ve only ever said dirt sheets. You won’t see me blaming any source specifically for it.

It was never leaked. Dirt sheets were asked the questions and they reported they asked people if they thought that was a possibility and some ppl said that they felt it might be.

they intentionally word it like that to cover their own ass but it was never actually reported by anyone, ever, it was all rumor mongering. @Chris is actually correct here too

I mean in this scenario he said he'd rather talk about Collision but since Punk was in the original press release and then removed, that can't be avoided. One of the scenarios he even said was possible was just that AEW wanted to keep the return a surprise, he didn't seem like he believed there was a falling out lol

Yes and I've told you, that clearly came from fan speculation. Those dirt sheets are not ones with sources, they jump on any twitter rumors they can for clicks. I've never understood why you assume someone leaked it as opposed to them simply making it up

I mean it could be avoided by going : Yeah they probably wanna keep that a surprise instead of even entertaining the negative shit. I think he knows exactly what he is doing here, they are all carnies

I guess lol I just don't see it that way bc it feels the same way we speculate on this stuff. Obviously we don't have the platform to be called out by Punk but I always lay out multiple scenarios I could see possible for shit like this, most of which cannot be true if another is
