AEW Rampage: First Dance- August 20th, 2021

Moose even, but I think Sami is better first.

When Punk wrestles Omega, though, on PPV, I'm dead.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Oh for sure them two would be a banger. Hell give me Punk vs Josh Alexander.

 

[Smart Marx]

1 and 2 on trending, but not over.

I love how Tony is smiling from ear to ear during that whole media call. It must be exciting to have the money to do all of this as a wrestling fan.

CM Punks return is exciting but I am trying to keep my feet grounded through all of it because this ride is going to be more than him talking in front of his home fans.

Alright Tony Khan, Tessa Blanchard next please. No excuses now that you have CM Punk. Come on...

By the way, I want to see some sort of friendship bonding thing between Punk and Cabana. Id like to see them get back together again and put the past in the past.

Hearing those CM Punk chants again before the music even hits is just so beautifully sweat to my ears.

 

[Smart Marx]

Once the music hits and Punk steps onto the stage, the ovation is DEAFENING.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I’ve watched it at least 4 or 5 times already

 

[Smart Marx]

I still get goosebumps when he hugs the fan in the front row and the guy behind him is crying.

I'm rewatching it right now, my stomach is still fluttering at how surreal and crazy awesome this is. He's here. He's back.

That one dude in the white is so lucky when Punk jumps into the crowd and then just chills with my dude.

These are memories these guys will never forget and Punk gave it to them.

The TNT executives watching Punk just stand at the end of the ramp, silently soaking in the adulation of the crowd before going into the ring and they think to themselves, this is why we got back in the wrestling business. For these moments right here. TNT is the talk of the town again.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I am 100% jealous of @Sass who was there last night. He doesn't keep up with AEW much, but I think it's safe to say that Sass is All Elite the way he was talking on Discord last night when me, him and @Halfway House was chilling and talking, he has became a fan. Not even just cause of Punk but just how much he loved everything he got last night.

 

[Smart Marx]

When the music dies, the crowd gets louder and you truly hear how over this man is. I defy anyone to find a pop half as loud in the last 5-6 years.

Like my tweet thread said, last night I was reminded of why I love pro wrestling, I was reminded why I have such a strong passion as a fan. I am just really soaking it all in still.
