Also of course it was gonna sellout just for controversy and shit from how he left lol and he was in his hometown lol I'm not saying punk isn't a draw by the way. They also give Punk the perfect storm for his debut hometown first rampage was def a cool moment tho.

well ya, Punk is a huge draw and TK is a smart booker. he still sold out that venue on name value alone regardless. aint nobody on the current roster doing that

it was the second Rampage and it was last minute in a huge arena on a rumor lmao its not like it was some standard 5k venue

 

[Comrade Khan]

wasnt it bigger than the venues they usually do in CHI too

 

[Chris]

It was the biggest show AEW had ever ran at the time and it sold out without confirmation he'd even be there

 

[Comrade Khan]

like Forbidden Door is the first time they go back to United since

 

[Chris]

I think only grand slam has been larger since

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I thought it was a pretty solid show overall. My favorite matches were Anarchy in the Arena, O’Reilly vs Darby, tag title, and trios match. I thought the main was pretty good too.

Lots of people leave the WWE in controversial fashion but don’t get the reception Punk did when he debuted.

Punk been getting those reactions since he was in WWE. When he finally got the title match with Cena, the building came unglued for his entrance and marked when he won.

Punk is a once in a lifetime performer that got the audience to actually engage and identify with him.

I would say he’s the only star other than Danielson WWE was able to do that with since the Ruthless Aggression Era began and haven’t really done it again since Punk and they weren’t even necessarily trying with him and Bryan.

 

[Y2Jayne]

That was a fun show, everything was very enjoyable although I don't think Athena was needed in the company.
The match in the preshow also was very nice. Very evil.

[Comrade Khan]

[Comrade Khan]

just wait until he encounters a wild danhausen
