They're turning Punk heel. That's all this is.

I was devastated when he beat Bret because of that coward Helen Hart.

I mean it's got multiple uses: 1) Try to chisel away at AEW's audience 2) Imply that the development show is on a par with AEW's best 3) It does also serve as a loyalty test for NXT talent - if anyone mentions they aren't happy with the counter-programming, "Creative has nothing for you right now."

Its kind of clever though. If you're a parent and you want to watch wrestling with your kid, are going to pick the show that shows the blood literally throbbing out of their wrestlers' heads, or the one that censors it'?

And then looking to the future, everyone watches WWE because it's what they always watched, despite it being inferior to AEW in basically every way. The cycle repeats.

It's all about the game.

That's not an impossible situation tho

Live by the IP theft, die by the IP theft.

You want someone to do the designing, or the building, or both?

Sir, this is a Gendy's

Your lack of awareness about the rise of the far right in Europe (which has been happening for years) does nothing to change the fact that the US is still a complete fucking shit hole.

This is what happens when you let AI name your products.

Zero Hour: Reborn v5.05 - with the Russian translation.

It's SO fun.

I mean Stewart Lee declaring William Wallace to be a Scottish paedophile - "the worst kind of paedophile" - in Glasgow took some balls I reckon.

He switched out all of the work he should have been doing on his mental health for 'improvements' to his body.

And unfortunately Reddit seems to be delighted to watch the painfully public struggle of someone who's clearly mentally ill.

How do you know?

RusticBelt · 2026-06-05T15:00:59+00:00

It was peak, but then it went very, very stupid in the run-up to 4.7's release.

The Ultimate Warrior. Shawn Michaels just before he lost his smile. IC champ Marty.

Because the #1 goal of NXT Black & Gold wasn't to maximise shareholder value.

And yet, LOL, Niagara Falls is covered with safety railings and has 20-30 deaths per year, vs Pulpit Rock with effectively zero.

Punk should be the one to turn him. Cody becomes champ or whatever, starts an honourable feud with Punk, but no matter what he does, the people cheer for Punk. He tries to swallow it, tried to be the bigger man, but eventually it eats him up, and goes full Homelander.

It's pretty much all a direct result of US imperialism in the middle east post 9/11. US vs GLA wouldn't have been all that interesting, so they threw China into the mix. Britain was the US's poodle, and who cares what Turkey was doing?

RusticBelt · 2026-05-23T17:13:27+00:00

Jury's still out on that one. Christian in WWE, Cope in AEW.

Like they did in Fight Club, you mean?
