A few of them have openly said they do not iirc

Page is the only one I can think of that has outright said that, but numerous have indirectly said it bitching about JR... To the point where Darby essentially called them out for being pissy rather than maybe listening to a guy with 30 years experience in the business, calling matches for some of the GOATs.
 

Darby Allin agreeing that most of these dumb flip spots with wrestlers bunching together and waiting around to catch a guy are bullshit.

When the one guy who is actually good at doing dives and makes them believable agrees with the prior generations >>


Old enough to remember when that never-was, unfunny hack Brandon Cutler had the audacity to mock Jim Ross (and eventually Darby Allin’s) opinion

Not sure if a single move can ruin an entire wrestling style, but every single lucha match HAS to feature this at least twice and it's made it unwatchable.

Cutler is Bucks sycophant. If he said something, they likely agreed with him (in private). He is probably dumb enough to go rogue in public. Why this guy has a job is beyond me. He brings zero value to Tony Khan and the company.

Like Cornette has said many times, it is All Friends Wrestling, if you have a buddy in the right position you can have a job for life as long as you don't beat your significant other or make TK feel like his "life was in danger"
 
My whole point in posting that is to point out that are tons of legitimate criticisms to be made about the use of acrobatics in wrestling. In some cases the older generation is absolutely right. Each generation works a little bit crazier and now we have people working 1/4th the schedule of the old heads and suffering more injuries.

The entire main event scene in AEW has been decimated by injuries outside of MJF, the guy who is always talking about working smarter. He’s the most over guy in the company and he’s not doing blatantly coordinated cirque du soleil spots. Because what he does actually means something, and it’s not obvious bullshit

Hmm....could Punk work at NXT in a talent/coach role?

They did, but that was a while ago.

If they're signing Punk it would be for millions, and I'm not sure how much trust they'd have after, well, these past few years.

I tend to agree on both points. Mainly, there's zero chance he's signing for small money, and zero chance they're paying him big money to train guys.

I also agree that he's probably not got the reputation to be good in a training setting in 2023. I honestly think a lot of the problems he had in AEW he wouldn't have in WWE because it's a far more professional environment, but you still only need that one guy that pisses him off and there could be a blow up.

... I merely pointed out DeMott because they do have a history of this. And some of the stuff DeMott was accused of is way worse than Punk challenging other wrestlers to fights.
 
Punk honestly seems better as an agent than a trainer to me anyways.

To me, trainers are there for the physical aspect. There are guys that have a better teaching mindset than Punk to teach talent how to do move safely. Agents, I would think, have more involvement in the psychology part of it, which is where Punk thrives.

Either way, doubt he's coming to work for agent money or trainer money, as has been drilled home by several of us here.
