The AEW marks hated Punk from the start because he was a "Fed" guy so they were never going to enjoy anything he did.
Even with this injuries, Punk's run was better than most on that list especially Hangman.

Meh, Moxley is a "Fed" guy. Jericho is a "Fed" guy. Danielson is a "Fed" guy. They didn't hate them but Punk is hated because he's a "Fed" guy? That narrative doesn't make any sense. I'm a workrate guy so match quality is very important to me. I put Hangman's reign over Punk simpy because the match quality was better. Hangman works his ass off. To someone else who values story and promos over match quality they'll see things differently and that's perfectly fine. We enjoy what we enjoy.
I can't even disagree with this...I hope something changes, but going by the track record, it's not looking good, but we'll see....damn...evidence is a mutha fucka
Yes, it really happened and it was awkward as fuck
They didn't hate Punk until he called out their favorites for being what they are. That's when they turned on him. Then the "cancer" shit started, and they started talking about the "problems" he was at WWE, which again, none of them can tell you what the problems were, just heresy from dirtsheets and rumors, even tho his problems with the company have been put out there publicly (working sick, broken promises by Vince, etc.) It was all cool til he called out Magnum VA and the bucks at the scrum.
I wouldn't expect a Guy who put the Title on David arquette and Himself to understand what it means to wrestlers to win them. Russo is a god damn moron.
I wish this Japanese foot worshipping asshole didn't have me on ignore so I could continue to destroy all his bullshit and lies, this guy literally uses the exact terminology of every annoying IWC lame ever.
Just a pathetic lame lmao I hope cm punk fucks your mom again hoe
I'm a "Fed" guy that never liked C.M.Punk
I also noticed I didn't like when WCW and WWF/E merged I didn't want any WCW guys holding the WWE title. The same with AEW I don't really care for old but ass WWE wrestlers holding the AEW titles. I also hate Moxley and his characters.
Why? So I'm clear in my question. Why the dislike for Punk?
What was the issue with WCW guys?
Hangman Page thinks he's Magnum TAWait, who's Magnum VA?
You don't mean
do you?
I need Tony Khan to put me on creative

Faction Dynamics
Purpose: The Apex exists to impose absolute control over AEW’s landscape by leveraging their power and precision. Each member has a distinct role, contributing to the faction’s overall goal: dominate every division they touch.
Entrance Theme: A thunderous orchestral theme with dark, menacing undertones, complemented by a heavy bass drop—symbolizing their overwhelming power.
Entrance Style: The faction walks to the ring as a unit, each member focused, exuding silent menace. MVP leads the group, hyping them up, while Miro and Wardlow walk slightly ahead of the pack to add a psychological edge.

Potential Feuds
1. The Elite – The Apex targets AEW’s fan-favorite faction, aiming to outmuscle their high-flying tactics.
2. Blackpool Combat Club – A brutal battle between factions focused on physicality and control.
3. House of Black – The Apex seeks to dismantle the House’s mystique with sheer power and discipline.
---
This version of The Apex combines MVP’s management expertise with a perfectly balanced roster of powerhouses and tacticians. With Lashley leading, Miro's intensity, Wardlow’s hunger, and Hobbs’ raw strength, this faction could dominate AEW’s singles, tag, and trios divisions with ease.
Nobody is fucking with this unit. They easily take top heel faction from BCC.
Add Megan Bayne as their Badass Female Powerhouse

I've always has a dislike for Punk. I guess I am a tribalism at heart
I never wanted to see Goldberg/Sting/Diamond Dallas page hold up a WWF/WWE belt. King Booker was the one exception and vice versa I hated Brett Hart/Kevin Nash/Hogan as WCW champions. Flair doesn't count I used to watch him in the territories: NWA AWA/UWF and early WCW
Adam Page who's from Viginia is a Magnum TA knock off.....and I KNOW you damn sure didn't think me as a person who absolutely knows who Magnim T.A. is confused the 2....Wait, who's Magnum VA?
You don't mean
do you?
I've been calling him that since he grew the stupid mustache...
Interesting. Thanks for the clarity
Had thought this was the idea for a while..Xavier (and Miz) joining Final Testament
I love final testament, every time they're on tv it gives me time to grab a beer or take a piss.
Worst raw in a long time
Damn Rachel Rodriguez makes Nia jax look like Rick flair.
Damn Rachel Rodriguez makes Nia jax look like Rick flair.
Entirely too much crossover between the shows.
Watching MNF and The Yankee game, guess I didn’t miss much
I mean... just Jade, Bianca, Lash, Jakara, and Rhea...oh and the War Raiders got their ghat damn name back....
@XXXplosive , The reason why myself and I see others on here put CM Punk last on this list of good AEW champions cause he really didn't have a title reign at AEW...As soon he got the belt, He got hurt and they stripped the belt from him and Moxley won it for the 2nd time!!..Then they try to put the belt back on him and what happen??..This guy got hurt again and had that situation backstage with the The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega!!...
....So he really didn't have a title reign at AEW brother!!...No lie, I really wasn't feeling him coming to AEW from the beginning..He was a problem at every wrestling company he work for and I was hoping that TK didn't bring him in but he did!!...As for Hangman Page, I think he was a ok AEW Champion!!..He wasn't the worst but he was ok!!..Some of his matches were good when he was the champ!!..
They have to build up to Crown Jewel

Honestly what the hell was this, it's like a basketball player that quits on the team or fakes an injury. The introduction and build up was better than the match. Even before the "injury"
This new 2-hour RAW is fucking me up. Gonna take some getting used to.
I get home from coaching my son's team after 8pm and keep expecting to see RAW at 9pm, but instead see some lame reality show.
And yeah, Raquel Rodriguez just looks so awkward all the time. She just doesn't have it.
@XXXplosive , You're doing some coaching!!..That's what's up!!.
..How's the team doing??..What are ya'll record this season??
We started out slow and lost the first 2 games (against the same team), but we're at 3-3 now and should win our next 2 games before playoffs begin. We've been to the championship game the last 2 years and barely lost each (again, against the same team).@XXXplosive , You're doing some coaching!!..That's what's up!!.
@XXXplosive ...Alright, Good luck to your team for the rest of the year!!..I'm rooting for yall to win the Championship this year brother!!..Let's go!!..
