Yeah, but they don't have bad TMZ ripoff comedy segments.

 

I still can’t believe they let that mf run a show lmao

 

you are the worst Josh wtf

 

More like Tyler Bland. [/2009 joke]

 

If CM Punk is going for a heel turn I’d say last night’s promo was genius in the sense of it purposefully being underwhelming (kinda like Jericho’s 2011 return), insincerity of his love for the fans, and perfectly sets up blurred lines of what the character and the real CM Punk are about

 

Bryan Danielson forever.

 

CM Punk was terminated by AEW following a situation at AEW All Out by a quickly developed discipline committee, and we’ve learned more, largely because of a tweet that may have referenced it.
Recently, Fightful revealed that a long rumored member of the committee, Megha Parekh, had actually stepped back from a lot of her duties as Chief Legal Officer by that time and actually had nothing to do with the committee. We’ve since learned that AEW General Counsel Chris Peck, who assumed many of her responsibilities, was a part of the three-person committee, along with an outside attorney.
However, there was also one long-respected member of the AEW talent roster that was involved, in Bryan Danielson. When asking sources on the AEW roster about his inclusion, one called him an “appropriate moral compass who exemplifies objectivity" and said that he effectively headed up and was the face of the disciplinary committee. Danielson was said to have spoken to the roster when addressing them about Punk’s termination, and noted that the decision was a particularly hard one. He cited the positives that CM Punk brought and his longstanding friendship with Punk, but said that it was the decision that had to be made.
On November 27, Danielson tweeted “My dad always told me, “The right thing is often the hardest thing to do. It won’t always make the most money. It won’t always be the most popular. But it’s still the right thing." We’re told that’s what Danielson said when speaking to talent at the meeting months before.
We weren’t given any indication regarding the decision making process that occurred by the disciplinary committee. Those that we spoke to said they believed CM Punk was aware by now that Danielson was a pair of said committee, as many of his friends were included in the meeting where Danielson addressed them.
This is a continued duty for Danielson, as he's also responsible for handing out fines when necessary.
CM Punk returned to WWE this past weekend

ToNy mAdE hIm TwEeT tHaT lol

 

Oh yeah are you a big Rollins guy Grant

 

Dork

 

First and only time this will happen lmao

 

Let the Tony Khan shitposting commence.

 

That just shows how must power being on FOX has. The SD numbers are definitely going to take a hit once they move to USA. I’d assume they will be closer to RAW if not lower.

 

Let’s fucking go

 

Must be a friday night thing (or an FS1 thing), but RAW when it moves to SYFY or whatever never drops that low. They lose like 20-30% of their audience and soldier on...how does Smackdown lose like 70% of its audience?

 

Love seeing how involved with the backstage stuff Danielson has become. He's certainly too reckless with his own body, but, he seems to have a really solid grasp of how to handle other wrestlers and how to build characters/work stories.

 

Danielson should be the AEW booker when he hangs it up.

 

Ok I tuned into NXT. Forgot Karl Fredericks is here

 

Do not understand the Chase U stuff

 

He gambled the schools funds and now the school is in danger Josh

 

Why is a school administrator a part of the NXT roster? Is it a wrestling school? I thought NXT was the wrestling school! I’m so confused!

 

So this Bron guy is a real piece of work huh
