Great idea by AEW to have him start the show. Great monologue. Punk was extremely touched by the ovation, and that was BEFORE he announced free ice cream bars for everybody. Punk vs. Darby Allin is going to be awesome!

I miss the golden years of WWE, from 1996-2002......Best years ever

Get away from the television it’s not healthy read a book

[stake1]

Great to see Phil!!! That was one of the loudest entrances on pro wrestling tv.
So many pieces in motion now that Tony Khan finally landed his “big fish”
Bryan vs Punk
Punk vs Omega
holy shit!

I don't know JJ...this guy read books. He even earned a masters degree and went on to teach highschool in Detroit. Look how he turned out....

In his quarterly report, Vinnie Mac stated that Aew was not competition
Oops!
summerslam tomorrow night and on the front page of Espn:
“Cm Punk makes pro wrestling return: signs with Aew”

[semibluff]

Punk and Danielson were 'teased' to have signed weeks ago. Obviously it's a plus for the industry. Let's see how long the boost lasts.

Probably, once their contracts clear, but they're still under-card to Punk and Danielson.

Wyatt could be there soon, challenge on the 30 vs 90 day no compete
Rotunda is a great wrestler, his skill set is far better suited for Aew’s platform vs what the wwf has become

[stake1]

What a grand evening for the second episode of Rampage
was one of the all-time greatest entrances in pro wrestling history
Phil’s crowd surfing improv? Outstanding!
Tony Khan is going to take the wwf fumble, and house it

[Mr KLC]

WWE was against the ropes for survival against WCW in 1996, but this time is different. AEW is bringing in the right veterans who are more than willing to elevate the younger talent. The owner is a true lover of wrestling. I don't think that Vince is going to win this showdown.

[stake1]

It’s over for Vinnie Mac. Sure he can pay “scsa” to wrestle one more time in Dallas
Doesn’t solve their problem. Also, he has blamed levesque/Helmsley for their issues, and the total failure that is Nxt. Meanwhile he keeps dumping shares. It’s all set up for peacock to buy the company, which is why they keep losing stars
when the game has passed him by. The product Aew offers? Superior in every single way. Britt Baker? She is the best female wrestler in the industry. A real life ass kicking dentist

I hope we get Punk vs. MJF at some point. I imagine those two cutting promos on each other would be fantastic.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot probably having a conniption fit after seeing this during her new mask mandates

Put your money on AEW now

[Sanity Check]

He looks and sounds nervous. Entered the arena looking like a fan who took a wrong turn somewhere.

Wonder if they contracted him to push woke story lines.

You can tell WWE upped their game last night. It looks like all hands on deck now because AEW proved they are not going away. WWE's problem is that their two World title min events on their 2nd biggest stage of the year had part time wrestlers. Then when Cena lost, they replaced him with another part time wrestler. While I see AEW building top tier stars like MJF, Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin, and Jungle Boy, I don't see too much of it on the WWE side. Maybe Riddle and Adam Cole, but that's about it. Hell, WWE is firing a lot of their NXT talent now. Goldberg, Cena, and Lesnar are a band aid being put over a much bigger problem.

yeah i agree

wwe has the bigger contracts and better marketing, but then they do stupid shit with it

let's hype up bianca bel air for 6 months... then have becky lynch come back and beat her for the title with one move... we all know wrestling is silly but fukking come on, that's just plain ridiculous

[unlearn]

Brock with a man bun? Wtf

[Ratpack]

don't foret Milwaukee mike ecw had a good run also

[stake1]

Yup. vinnie mac iin clear panic mode and desperate so he threw all the mud. caved into lesnar, and he just took his way over smackdown champ, and ruined her. guaranteed that lynch was 50/50 to show up last night.
but lesnar? nope that was a last minute ultra-panic move by vinnie, and then when the cameras go off, he f5's cena and starts his suplex city bored gimmic. he saw what Cm Punk did for Aew, and with Daniel Bryan debuting in Ny City at the Arthur Ashe Stadium event? rotunda = bray wyatt signed by Tony Khan. well.
vinnie pushed his last chips in last night

[stake1]

Brock with a man bun? Wtf

last minute deal. new look. same boring wrestler

[milwaukee mike]

don't foret Milwaukee mike ecw had a good run also

true, that was fun while it lasted

i like everything from wwe all the way down to brew city wrestling

[milwaukee mike]

time for dakota kai to finally win the nxt championship

love that skinny body

[unlearn]

last minute deal. new look. same boring wrestler

I'd much rather have Brock around than 57 year old Goldberg. I love how he got booed and Lashley got cheered. Fukk Goldberg

[milwaukee mike]

yet another dumbass move by wwe

gonzalez beats dakota kai and then kay lee ray comes back?

how do you have kai beat rhea ripley 6 years ago and then lose for the title every time? shameful

[bigtymer56]

Wow hes 57. Need to know what drugs hes on to look like that.

[milwaukee mike]

Wow hes 57. Need to know what drugs hes on to look like that.

well he's really 54

[unlearn]

Well however old he is he is still the worst wrestler alive aside from Omos. Did u see him drop Lashley off the top rope on his fuckin dome? This jerkoff ended Bret Hart 20+ years ago and should have been put out to pasture. Completely useless

[unlearn]

Goldberg the only guy I've seen gas on his walk to the ring. Impressive

[milwaukee mike]

Goldberg the only guy I've seen gas on his walk to the ring. Impressive

true...shocked that he had a match that lasted more than a couple moves

i was so pissed when i was in the crowd and he beat kevin owens for the title here in milwaukee
