Live Survivor Series WAR GAMES Discussion Thread - Saturday November 25th 2023

[Kross Rhodes]

He looks about the same tbh? Basically as he did when he started in AEW

Started? Disagree. When he finished with them in August, yes. About the same.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It's Punk. I don't think he has that much self control

He had 9 years in WWE the first time. We’ll just have to see.

It’s on him and no one else at this point.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

"Decided"

Wild take, but I’ve seen a few times. Collision is always Saturday. WWE decided to run a Saturday PPV.

I will die on the hill we need to go back to Sunday so PPVs aren’t countered.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

that's what I want, gimme the Saudi show, his Instagram story meltdown will be amazing that week

Aren’t they still giving talent the option or did that change when Sami went?

he can decide not too I'm sure, I just don't think he will but we'll see

 

[Roy Mustang]

I mean we can safely say the WWE hints were definitely there and done on purpose, but I never took anyone seriously who thought the devil was Punk. You don’t publicly fire one of your top stars for months, just before his Chicago PPV, only to bring him back later for a kayfabe angle.

All reports say they came to this deal with week so they were not if those were true. Also people were picking out the most random ass shit that didn't even link

We know WWE makes billions off those trips. I assume talent gets a higher than average bonus for going?

 

[Dale]

HHH was very non-committal when he got asked that Guilia question. The way he skirted around it definitely makes me think the report is true of them wanting her.

The comments about Jade too were pretty interesting. Definitely a little jab to the ribs of the other place.

The deal closed 10 days ago, but negotiations didn’t start then. We know he’s been up there a couple times.

I mean didn’t Nak do a gts at one point?

 

[Jimmy King]

I think everything with him will be fine and not as bad as some people are thinking it will be. If it isn’t I’ll admit I was wrong but I don’t think it will be as bad people think.

And yes, people will also see the clues everywhere, but some were pretty obvious.

Agreed.

I’m taking the cowardly way out and saying it wouldn’t surprise me if he flames out. It’s always possible he can’t be a man and make his last shot work, but my only thing is I don’t believe it’s a for gone conclusion, either. Sometimes different environments are better for certain talents and we know he was there for almost 10 years last time.

We’ll have to wait and see. I think Hunter will be on his ass as well as anyone else who initially tries to provoke him. WWE is heavily produced. There’ll be no you got Colt fired shoots on WWE programming.

And if Punk throws hands, plenty of people in WWE that won’t be afraid to throw them back. He’s gonna have to be a good boy or ruin his legacy forever.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Maybe he tries to throw hands at Karrion

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Here it is.

At this point someone in WWE was confident the deal would be reached.

 

[Dale]

Yeah i'm in the same camp as you and Jimmy, totally different environment and leadership. He patches things up with some people there were issues with, fulfils his contract and ends up in the HOF to close out his career.
