  • Wrestling Twitch Q&A: CM Punk News & Rumors

    Not too long ago, Dave Meltzer, a wrestling journalist, released his Observer Newsletter to his followers and mentioned new information about CM Punk.

    1. AEW/Tony Khan is looking to buy out CM Punk’s contract.
    2. The feeling in AEW is that CM Punk is done with the company.
    3. WWE may be interested in acquiring CM Punk.
    4. There’s probably more, but these are the main points.

      I counter these with an ageless question:

      Is there not a legal investigation still happening?

      After the All Out Brawl, we got the one-sided retelling of the Brawl. How convenient there wasn’t any photos or videos. Everyone retells this story as:
      1. CM Punk said some things.
      2. The Elite didn’t like it and were the aggressors.
      3. A “fight” broke out. Kenny Omega bitten by Ace Steel
      4. Those are the main points. And then the following weeks the phrase “legal investigation” popped up into the story. We also included two new people to this story. And if there was a “legal investigation” happening, Kenny Omega wouldn’t have been able to fulfil his Japan booking of promoting the upcoming AEW game at the Japanese Games Con. You can’t leave the country if a “legal investigation” is happening/in process.

        A month later, this “legal investigation” suddenly disappeared. No mention of it. Or at least new information. Also, if The Young Bucks were the aggressors, how come they never apologized to CM Punk? Everyone involved needs to apologize — that’s something we all agree on across the board.

        However, every month; every week it feels and seems like we get new info about CM Punk and Ace Steel but NEVER about The Young Bucks or Kenny. The only new info we got about Kenny Omega is from Konnan. He runs the Mexican promotion AAA. He said that he asked Kenny Omega for a promo to help set up his next match against a AAA opponent. Kenny tells him that he can’t due to “legal reasons.”

        YET! Kenny Omega was in Japan without a problem and while at the Haoming store in Japan he made fun of CM Punk’s words of: The Elite couldn’t even run a Target.

        So while streaming on Sunday, 10.23.22, Ultimate Sports Talk asked me this question: Are you heartbroken over the CM Punk Rumors? This is an extra, bonus podcast episode. I hope you enjoyed.

              • WWE RAW Preview: The Good Brothers Have A Match? [Twitter Spaces 10.17.22]

                I hosted a Twitter Spaces with fellow members of the Internet Wrestling Community to discuss NJPWxWWE, NJPW allowing The Good Brothers on WWE television and a RAW preview for today!

                ***

                Today on this edition of Monday Night RAW, we have an interesting development with The Good Brothers. Last week, The Good Brothers showed up to help AJ Style against Finn Balor’s Judgement Day group. For weeks, AJ Style has been attacked by Judgement Day. The Good Brothers can now even up the score so to speak.

                The topics discussed were the following:

                1. The Good Brothers in a match tonight on 10.17.22. Monday Night Raw?
                2. How long are their contracts for?
                3. Is this a verbal, handshake, or written agreement?
                4. What will happen on November 5th when Karl Anderson defends that NEVER Openweight Championship against Hikuleo?
                5. If Karl Anderson loses to Hikuleo, will this raise red flags within the wrestling community in regard to Anderson’s wrestling contract with NJPW?
                6. Leave a comment
                7. If Karl Anderson retains the championship, can we see Hikuleo on WWE television chasing the NJPW NEVER Openweight Championship all the way until Wrestle Kingdom 17?
                8. Leave a comment
                9. We fantasy booked.
                10. We previewed Elias coming back, Brock Lesnar, and another match of Seth Rollins — our new WWE United States Champion — vs Matt Riddle.

                14. AEW Dynamite Grand Slam 9.21.22 Full Review

                  All Elite Wrestling headline New York City, Queens yesterday, September 21, 2022. They held a show called Grand Slam at Authur Ashe Stadium in Queens.

                  I talk and give insight about the following matches.

                  I mention that if AEW and Tony Khan wanted to be successful during the week with great wrestling since TK in an interview said that NYC is the crown jewel of wrestling - which it was like 5-15 years ago, not currently - I help him out with a nice schedule that fans would have loved.

                  So after AEW went off the air, TK decides that Rampage — which is taped for this Friday — become a 2 hour show. All the fans are tired from AEW Dark Elevation / Dark then a Dynamite then a Rampage taping.

                  I suggested this:

                  Wednesday: Live on TBS.

                  Thursday: have a house show taping at La Boom in Queens.

                  Friday: have a live show on TBS at like Manhattan Center or somewhere else.

                  You space out these events so fans can breathe and enjoy it more and he’ll still make money.

                  I talk about all the matches.

                  I give valuable advice for women’s wrestling about cosplay, characterization, and developing better matches on the indies especially when the crowd is super red hot for both wrestlers. Don’t calm that down.

                  I want women’s wrestling to succeed.

                  Enjoy!

                  As always, tell a friend.
