ixcuincle Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Do you want to know how big Punk's return was Friday? WWE held SummerSlam the next day, Becky Lynch (best WWE female wrestler atm, returning after a layoff) won the WWE women's title over Bianca Belair, and nobody talked about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Sorry ix. AEW Rampage averages 700k viewers. They estimate they might have had 1.2mil on Friday night for Rampage featuring Punk. WWE had 2.4mil that same night for Smackdown. 😁 But good for AEW for pushing WWE. It's always needed.

PartyPosse Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So now word is WWE wants to make Becky heel. it’s almost like they can’t get out of their own way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday Night Nitro wars were good for WCW and WWF. The same should be done here. WWE cannot be allowed to stagnate a mediocre product. Also if memory serves me correct AEW is not relying on old talent like "Oldberg" and Brock Lesnar (who will return very soon, possibly today) to headline events lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind old guys, my issue is with using part-time talent. It’s obviously just a cash grab from them. Not that I blame em. At least Y2J and Sting are there almost every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Punk during his rant Friday made it known he was also there to help mentor new talent Jericho has said similar things Meanwhile who is up and coming in WWE? Nobody that you have heard of. Because they aren't being pushed. No, WWE would rather let you know some legend is wrestling again (Lesnar, Taker) or that Roman reigns exists.

Redskins Reparations Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I am a huge CM Punk mark but he would be a mid-carder at best during the Attitude Era. I stumbled across this when I was watching some of his promo’s prior to Rampage: I think an underdog CM Punk versus SCSA angle would have been amazing!

The Evil Genius Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) You know who is also 6 years younger than Punk and has a bigger image in the WWE? Drew McIntyre. The major problems facing the WWE right now are storyline, and predictably, certain wrestlers being favorwd by Vince or Triple H.

Redskins Reparations Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) @The Evil GeniusYou have to include Reigns in this group as well.

The Evil Genius Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 To me, Seth Rollins is >>>> than Roman Reigns for star potential. But Reigns has gotten the major push from day 1, it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this directly impacted Reigns becoming the heir apparent after winning the Royal Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 watched the first 25min of Smackdown last night. I think they are trying to make Lynch a heel, but the crowd still loves her. If that's their plan, it's not going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the female equivalent of her husband...always straddling the line between face and heel. Never afraid of stabbing someone in the back. That said, I think Bianca Belair is more impressive right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Lynch is immensely overrated. People say she delivers great promos but the promos pale in comparison to Rock and Stone Cold who would just go off for long periods of time. I saw Becky deliver a promo she paced it so slow, and kept taking breaks to let the audience take it all in. Just go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
