Fightful: CM Punk in talks for an in ring return with AEW as likely landing spot

[Necro]

The big question is will Colt Cobana have to get the pink slip for Phil to return?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

But seriously, why did everyone here turn on Punk ?

 

[Roy Mustang]

Tbf Punk is a real life asshole so that and the "teases" could be a reason.

Yeah he just did a fulll hour QA about it lol. But insists it obviously just talks and that the story was going to break anyways. Still, he was right on all the releases, and on Black and Zelina...:

Still makes me laugh how Black tried to discredit him on his stream... and then admitted the story about his NXT return that was "false" actually did happen

I guess standing up for yourself against WWE is considered an awful thing to do.

 

[Hoss]

yet you all came here to say it

Not gonna miss the opening to post the meme.

Ship has just sailed for me. Punk's run from 2011-2013 is one of my favorites ever. My interest in him has just gradually fallen since he's been gone and a combination of factors have led me to just prefer he stay retired.

SRS doesnt miss often yeah. Black I believe may have gotten on stream a bit too early and was emotional imo

Yeah I didn't realize I had turned on the guy bc I don't think 2021 Punk will be anywhere near as entertaining as he was to me in the past lol

Im just curious as to why people would want him to stay retired at such a young age I guess. I know hes an ass. so are a LOT of other wrestlers past and present. I just dont get why people wouldnt be excited at the potential of a motivated punk in a new company. I get not wanting to rui nthe nostalgia , just didnt get the same reactions when guys like christian came back so i find it a bit fickle ig

 

[Chris]

Also Smark hasn't seen the thread yet, you'll have reinforcements soon I'm sure Jeff

are the same people cool with Jericho who is bloated out of his mind still wrestling? That is my question. I still think even Jericho has something to contribute.

I mean...saying you dont care like others have said pretty much implies yoouve either turned on him or are indifferent. kind of splitting hairs a bit

He can do what he wants. Doesn't mean I'm gonna be excited until he proves me wrong lol Christian did, I think I was pretty skeptical of him in AEW at first too

im just kind of surprised of the non chalant, no excitement negativity compared to other places...ill just say that

fair enough for you. but you're also going to get the same ppl who bitched that Christian wasn't as big a reveal as Punk would have been now say Punk is washed and who cares. as I said, some of it sounds very FICKLE
