Theres only been buzz from WWE fans

What they've actually said is completely standard for someone with a name who has done some good stuff in the past 20 years but is completely past their prime.

If they got someone WWE wanted they'd have told you that
That's why I don't think it's Lesnar or Punk. Let's not kid anyone, if Punk said he'd be willing to return, WWE would go in big for him, definitely. He'd do wonders for storylines (if booked properly) and he'd get some ratings back in my opinion.

Vince loves Lesnar, he'd always pay way over the top to keep him with the company. There's a slim chance they may have said you're asking too much this time and said they don't want him back, but i can't see that, plus AEW would have gone all out big time with the hype for someone of his caliber, literally naming him as the signing.

Maybe it could be Christian, but it depends on who you see as a huge huge star I suppose...

Its not quite that simple. They fired Punk on his wedding day. They took him through the courts and took a lot of money from them.

All he has done to do with WWE is being hired by Fox to talk about WWE. I would imagine there is a figure for Punk to do something with WWE again, but I'm sure its a price Vince wouldnt want to pay unless he had to.

I liked some of his promos but I always thought Punk was overrated in the ring anyway

How can you possibly say there's only been a buzz from WWE fans when it's all anyone in the wrestling world has been talking about.

Getting the excuses in early for when it's undoubtedly a let down.

Nobody ever liked him backstage, he cant wrestle just talk which is the opposite of AEW and brings nothing to them.

He and Cass had a brawl coming out of the crowd at ROH last year. The reaction was so bad that they never used them again

Holy shit! That's insane. I'll roll back on my Enzo guess then. How to lose a career in 100 seconds.

I'm not sure he was that bad in the ring though, he sold pretty well and did some good stuff on 205 from memory. He's certainly no worse than Best Friends (not incl orange), for example.

They can actually wrestle. They obviously do some goofy stuff as well but Trent was getting a singles push in NJPW before AEW signed him.

Maki was kicked out of an Idols group for not being cute enough?

I'm making a mental note to google the rest of that group later.

Never heard of her. Who is she?
Maki Itoh. Former Japanese idol / young popstar singer. She was fired from her group and started wrestling

Wrestles with Tokyo Joshi Pro which is the sister company of DDT - where Kenny omega and kota ibushi met before New Japan. Comedy promotion with some athletic moves

I feel like they could have given Jim Ross the night off. He sounds horrendous.

Miro is fecking rubbish. The only reason he was ever over in WWE was Lana and Aiden English.
It's a weird one. Hes a great worker, but something just doesn't click with him.

Thought it might click in AEW, it hasn't.

That said Rusev day was over, but Vince has a thing about chants being over and not the actual wrestler. 10.

Miro shouldn't be playing second fiddle to anyone. He should be booked as a destroyer, not someone who feuds over an arcade machine.

He's obviously the Jannetty to Lana's Shawn Michaels...



He was holding Lana back from reaching her full potential.

Dont know what you're talking about Miro is looking much better physically now than he did in WWE. He's just been in a holding pattern while they build him up as they have so many people they want to push, hes unbeaten and now they're sowing the seeds for him and Kip to break.

Why do you care so much about wrestlers physiques these days?

Darby should keep the cargos. The short shorts over leggings look does nothing for him.
