CM Punk fired from AEW

[Canadian Dragon]

Can’t disagree more on that. Orange maybe, but Sammy over Darby for sure, imo.

yeah you are in the minority here, I really don't know how you can say that with a straight face after hearing both guys talks, both guys develop their characters and both guy wrestle. Darby is leaps and bounds ahead of Sammy in each category, by a large margin on two of them. Outside of just being a fan of the guy, I don't think there is much objective reasons to push Sammy over Darby. The crowds certainly agree with me as well

 

[Canadian Dragon]

A name I would agree with is Adam Cole. He should get a run sooner than later.

well ya Adam Cole is actually over

I don’t see Darby as a world champion. Being over doesn’t necessarily mean he should be a top guy.

And yeah, Blaze and I said it was a minority opinion, but I also don’t see why Sammy has such a negative opinion of him when he outworks so many. I think a program with Jericho and then MJF will get him there, but that’s just my opinion.

My main disagreement with specifically naming two people I don’t see ever being a world champion. I’d agree if you said Cole and Hangman, for instance.

Can’t wait until Punk blames everyone but himself and talks about what a toxic shitty company AEW is

I'm looking forward to it tbh

I'm looking forward to it tbh

Honestly same

I was legitimately shocked TK had the balls to pull the trigger on Punk, but I respect the hell out of him for going out in front of the Chicago crowd and make the announcement to them live.

 

[Dale]

I assume he's going to have some kind of hefty no-compete clause right?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Punk is responsible for Punk.

That being said, he wouldn’t be entirely wrong. AEW does have a backstage problem. Tony needs to get his house in order.

If he got fired he should be able to get out of it easily.

yeah it is what it is, I just think it's wild to say that about Darby but then think Sammy can. Hard disagree, Darby is a proven star imo, you just refuse to see it like with Mox

Not true. I see Mox is a star. I just don’t like him lol

Darby is also over. I agreed he is, but I don’t think that makes him a world champion contender. I think International is probably his ceiling and he’d probably kill it. I actually like Darby, too.

Sammy has an it factor and works like what I’d expect my top guys to. Hard to explain I guess.

If he needs to work more to get there, fine, but I don’t think it needs to be too much longer. There’s too soon and that turns into too late quickly.

 

[Storm Trooper]

I'd bet there is zero no-compete. They fired him with cause in order to get out of paying him. To have a no-compete will mean they have to pay him during that time.

I'm assuming once the paperwork is official Punk is free to go wherever he is welcome.

I don't really think they do.

Sammy and Eddie got resolved instantly.
Britt and Rosa still worked together, multiple times, without incident
Andrade got suspended and came back
Jack Perry is serving his suspension
Jeff Hardy served his suspension and is on probation

People disliking each other or having substance abuse problems isn't really a backstage problem, that's pretty much any sports or entertainment workplace. The only difference is that Punk refuses to let shit go and refuses to resolve things by letting things chill out. Just my opinion on the matter though. AFAIK every other issue was always resolved, and I don't expect everyone to love each other

yeah I just don't see any it factor in Sammy but I do in Darby so we will never agree
