None of Bray Wyatt's nonsense post backwoods cult leader was ANY good once he got into the ring. Dude was creative as hell and some of those backstage segments were golden, but he never could translate it into in ring material that wasn't absolutely trash and cringe. Hell, before they fired him Reigns and Lesnar outright refused to work with him due to how abysmal his Fiend programs ended up being

Dunno if it will be uncle howdy. Documentary also showed another incarnation of the fiend that they had just finished not long before he passed. I could see doing something with that as well. Documentary itself was good though.

Can't believe AEW is still going to make fools of themselves and either release that CM Punk footage or do a skit about it.

They're using it to bring Jack Perry back for one...for 2 it's a way to throw shade at Punk who literally will not shut the **** up.

I don't really watch wrestling (haven't watched it consistently since early 2000), but I did watch a lot of the Wrestlemania since I have Peacock and it was damn good.

And prove that Punk is still your biggest ratings draw despite him not working for your company? AEW has problems to solve and Punk talking is not one of them.

Its just incredibly stupid. The show immediately afterwards you had a half dozen guys go on TV and publicly say they don't want to focus on the negatives and now the week after the Bucks are either going to legitimately show the footage or, even worse, do some stupid skit.

I would be more sympathetic to the argument that AEW is using someone who doesn't work for the company for a build if Punk and Drew didn't spend 2 months using AEW as a backdrop for their feud including muffins and almost direct quotes.

I like the "war" aspect of wrestling, trust me...makes it interesting. This particular decision just baffles me. |

Except WWE is using that to build a feud, so a goal and a way to draw an audience, and it has been highly entertaining because lets face it Punk and Drew are better on the mic than pretty much everybody in AEW.

Punk and Drew using it to build to a money feud is a hell of a lot different than Khan and the Bucks either trying to embarrass Punk or bait and switching the most compelling footage they have with some goofy ass skit.
