I wanna know what Danhausen has to say about all of this, my opinion hinges solely on his

Hes grown on me not his wrestling but his persona keep him around for comedy maybe give him some goofy tag run with someone or have him surprisingly win a title.

 

[Reilly13]

Yeah the more that comes out the more I think it’s a work.


If Kenny Omega is really out here biting people though then Cornette may have been right about him all along

Article clearly says it was Steele that bit Omega. Also reports that Steel is lucky to not be in jail after having thrown a chair that hit Nick in the face.

Yeah but then other ppl on the last page we’re saying other stuff. Either way- no biting! To both ace and omega. This is a god damn society

Although I gotta be honest Ace Steel biting ppl does not surprise me, he’s got crazy eyes

 

[Troublesome 85]

how so if dont mind me asking?

That was a lifetime ago. Can just say his attitude wasnt the best. Ego even then.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It really sounds like Steel needs to be given his walking papers

Danhausen is the AEW R-Truth

I'm all for it honestly. R truth can actually wrestle, I'm not so sure about Danhausen. That said though, I love him and his character.

Cobana's next podcast episode could be insane. Hope he's got the balls to run with this

from Monday's pwinsider.com:

For the MANY of you who have written us asking about what happened backstage at the AEW All Out PPV, I haven't been ignoring you but was out all day. Based on what we have heard from those in the company today, here is what we can ascertaine:

*After Punk finished venting his heart out at the AEW All Out Media Scrum, he returned to his locker room, where there was an altercation.

*Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks went to Punk's locker room and confronted him about his comments during the scrum.

*There was a physical altercation with Punk and Matt and Nick Jackson

*No one sharing stories is quite sure who threw the first punch.

*Kenny Omega was there but did not get into a physical altercation with Punk.

*Ace Steel arrived and did get involved as his wife was in the vicinity of the incident, possibly even inside Punk's locker room as she was watching over Punk's dog Larry. Steel was said to have gotten physically involved.

*A number of AEW staff and security hit the scene to break up the fracas and separate the Punk side from the Elite side.

*Once the sides were separated, they continued to argue for some time before The Bucks and Omega exited the area of Punk's locker room. There was a lot of yelling from each side.

*Tony Khan was not present at the incident at any point as he was still on stage for the media scrum.

*At least one of the Bucks returned to the hotel late last night sporting a black eye.

*We have heard from a number of people in the company backing one side and blaming the other. Some were backing Omega and The Bucks, given Punk's comments, feeling Punk's verbal statements led to the incident and he was the guilty party. Others were backing Punk and questioning why EVPs stormed into his locker room, placing Punk in a situation where he would be outnumbered and that their decision to go there was partly responsible.

*Others are questioning how things will go down at TV this Wednesday given the situation involved the company's new champion, three EVPS and a Producer, all of whom are in positions of being leaders behind the scenes.

*The Bucks and Omega left Chicago earlier today.

*AEW is being very tight-lipped about the situation but the belief among those we've spoken with is the company is likely trying to determine where blame should be placed and what their course of action is going forward.

*It should be noted that over the course of the day, some of the stories around the incident have gotten more and more fantastical (as they were passed and on) and involved other names. In regard to FTR (who are close with Punk) and Hangman Page (close with the Elite, obviously), they were not present as they had all exited the NOW Arena after the PPV had concluded as they were not needed for the Media Scrum. They were not involved.

*There were some who had sympathy for MJF, feeling the situation overshadowed his return angle that closed the PPV and that the entire scenario has now deflected the attention from the PPV itself.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yeah Omega didn't bite anyone, he was bitten and had his hair pulled by Ace Steele lol guy should already be shit canned.

 

[The Burdened]

Fell bad for MJF.
Huge return was completely overshadowed and marginalized. Great we will get another le epic worked shot promo on Wednesday.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Well, Punk kinda invited them to come up to him if they had something to say.

On the other hand, confrontating right then and there was particularly dumb.

As I said many times already, there are no good guys in this story. Just a bunch of idiots acting like petulant children.

Fully agreed. But TK basically has two options, punish both sides or you punish the side that turned a verbal confrontation physical. To me The Bucks/Omega should get some kind of fine and/or short suspension. Ace Steel should just straight up be fired, no questions asked. Punk should be stripped of the belt and given a length suspension and if he isn't happy about it he can piss off. This all under the assumption that they can't all put this to the side and make money off this in an actual feud.

Well, that's the key here. They accidently found gold mine. Are they mature enough to exploit it? That remains to be seen.

They should turn Punk heel and have MJF be the anti-establishment antihero. He does not even have to act like a babyface. Just call out Punk for his BS and complain about you were underpaid, underappreciated, underutilized, etc.

Make it about MJF, put the title on him and then punish Punk. If he leaves, so be it. As long as he puts MJF over before he does. That is where the money is. Not in a Kenny feud.

That is absolutely where the money is. I guess we will see if Punk's ego will allow that to happen though. If he doesn't like that though I would just tell him to gtfo.

All of them will have to put aside their egos..if they do,this entire thing will turn into solid gold for everyone involved and us fans.The story line just wrote itself

 

[Transplanted Caper]

As I said last night, at the very least I think they're beginning to turn a shoot into a work (the chair shot detail added after the fact seemed particularly ridiculous) but if the below is at all true - even in the context of trying to create more buzz, the YBs need to get a grip.

The Bucks need a reality check.

They are great athletes who are great at marketing themselves outside of the ring. They did a lot for the business, but they are not stars who draw money. Without Omega, Cody and the general sentiment against WWE at the time, there would not have been an All In. They do not have drawing power by themselves.

I think they are much better promoters/marketers than they are wrestlers. Maybe they need to start understanding that and let stars be stars.

 

[Troublesome 85]

On another topic it seems AEW and Impact work with each other. Id love to see James Storm make some AEW appearances.

He may not be able to beat Mickey Gall up but he sure as shit can beat Matt Jackson up is what I learned

 

[GKJ]

There’s no way Punk said what he said, went back, was in a physical altercation, and then they stood around, looked at each other, and said ‘ok let’s turn this into a work’

 

[Emperoreddy]

Dave saying there is talk that Punk is hurt again. Arm issue or a torn pec, possibly from the backstage fight

 

[Troublesome 85]

Man all this title flip flopping making AEW world title not look so good
