Let's be real, who would ANYONE take in a fight Reigns or CM Punk? lol Punk has no freaking muscle tone, he does look slower than he used to and frankly looks older all around because he is as are the rest of us. Punk can't fight, his whole "character" was pretending to be a guy who could fight and he bought into his own s***, when he tried to be a real fighter he got his ass kicked.

Yep. Look after he came back after leaving with the title. It was all in going to kick everyone's arse promos and so on. Then he went to UFC and got embarrassed by 2 no bodies and was shown to have 0 fighting talent.

Reigns on Punk. But also on AEW, fans watching wrestling on TV want more than what AEW offer, look at NXT when HHH was running it.
Lots of praise over the years but had a small but hardcore fan base who enjoyed the indie league. NXT UK puts on quality wrestling matches but has a very small viewer base.


 
If AEW doesn't come close or beat Smackdown this week with it being on FS1 and going against baseball then they might as well kill the plug on Rampage.


Anyways Edge with the promo of the year and him vs Seth is the feud of the year.

Because someone is bigger and uglier he is tuffer?
Only a person who doesn't know how to fight would think this and yes I think the 200 lbs mma trained Punk would whoop his ass.

Nxt lost its viewers to the improved version of what they did.

Sadly instead of trying to keep up with the champ it has become unwatchable.

10pm time slot is the killer no matter how you try and spin it.

Rampage needs a earlier time slot on a different night.
As going against free fox tv doesn't work either.

Keep spinning those poor numbers for AEW.


Punk can't fight that was clear in the 2 fights he had in the UFC. Unless its scripted he doesn't have a chance while Roman was a bouncer.
You don't f*** with a Samoan.

In America we go out late Friday night.
Fox is a bigger network and free.

Punk would whoop his ass.


Figured you didn't know how to fight...
Samoan?
Try Italian with a Samoan dad.

TNT has a larger audience than FS1 and they still lost comfortably to Smackdown.

You clearly never watched Punk in UFC otherwise you would admit he's lack of fighting talent was clear to see in less than 10 seconds of his first fight.

10pm

I watch Joe's terrible lack of ring skills.

Him pointing out his size and weight shows he can't fight.

Take a HEAVILY advertised SD off of fox FREE TV on a Friday night day night and it's not pretty.....


Mat Men Pro Wrestling Podcast’s Andrew Zarian reports that that WWE’s October 15th SmackDown supershow on FS1 brought in a fast national number of 793,000 viewers. No demographic rating was noted, but this was a tremendous fall from last week’s episode which garnered over 2 million viewers on FOX.
 
Roman Reigns is a first team All ACC defensive tackle, is extremely in shape and built, and can work in the ring.

His in ring ability has never been a problem, it was his booking. He's being booked properly finally and is living up to the hype he's had behind him.

Val, take the L here. Punk would get demolished in a shoot fight and we all know it. He's also not wrong about him losing a step. I've watched his matches, they're not bad but you can tell he's got some serious ring rust

He has been booed since becoming a singles wrestler because of how bad his in ring work is.
Google it!

You saying his ring work has never been a problem shows you don't wtf you are talking about.

What has he improved?
He added a choke and does 2 spears and superman punches instead of 9? Lolz

I can tell who can't fight in real life here.

You mean the guy who's well past it, and got knocked out in his last 4 fights and moved to sports entertainment because no MMA organisation wants to see him get beaten up anymore?

Doesn't include other areas that showed it on normal networks so expect it over 1m come Monday and then expect more AEW tears. Those numbers are just FS1... oh wait as is mentioned but let's try to make a drama ;)

Val will defend him right up until he's back on WWE TV.
But then that won't happen as this run has shown he isn't a draw so WWE will feel no need to hire him and he will still be bitter over him vs Taker not being the last match on WM.
And I imagine he had a massive sulk after Miz/Dolph made fun of him in a match right after Punks UFC debut and another sulk when Steph shut up the Chicago crowd making fun of him.

This is also the guy that claims he had a real fight with Teddy Hart and it was 'even' despite everyone who witnessed it saying Hart easily won and punk didn't get a single shot in.

AEW tears for what?
It isn't and hasn't been a fair fight.
When it was a even fight.... NXT got moved to Tuesdays.

The desperation is real lolz

Would beat the s*** out of Reigns.
Vince buttering him up so much that he now believes the sweet nothings he whispers in his ear when he comes to his office... now he talks tuff on twitter lolz

Competition is good, but tbh I'm not liking Tony Khan's change from "we're not trying to compete with WWE" to "f*** WWE LOL." Let the wrestlers make the references, but I think as the executive he needs to lay a bit lower. Like BITD when like Nash and Hall would address Shawn Michaels and Triple H in promos or to the camera, that was awesome. I just don't remember Vince ever doing it, I could be wrong.

I really like Tony Khan a lot, it just seems a little low class IMO. I get what he's doing, I just don't think it's necessary. Came off that way with Bischoff in the 90's, comes off the same way 25 years later.

Anyways back to actual wrestling.... I think I'm gonna buy Full Gear. I don't really love paying $50 or whatever for a PPV, but I've got high hopes for this one.
 
Tony's been doing some really strong drugs over the last week. Even declared they would beat Smackdown this week before back tracking when the drugs wore off.



So glad they left for pro wrestling as they don't want any of that sports entertainment nonsense...



And him



Holy s***


Wasted

i watched the bryan match, they were going blow for blow, as in they intentionally let the other strike them to prove they can absorb the hits, as part of the "story" of the match... so that wasnt a botch
