Finally managed to watch the entire show.
Is that what people were making such a fuss about? Anyone saying this is like 2000s WCW clearly wasn’t watching then. You don’t have to like it, but that comparison is wildly overblown.
I get why people don’t like meta kayfabe, but this still works within traditional kayfabe. Even if wrestling is real, it’s still meant to be done in a match. It makes sense for senior people in a company to be dragged in should a fight occur backstage, and to be distracted from their own match.
The thing I’m actually impressed with is the handshake refusal. If that was a deliberate storyline seed being dropped at the time in response to the fight, that’s incredible. If it wasn’t and the Bucks were legit pissed, and they’ve retconned it, that’s clever. If it’s a coincidence, using it in this way is good writing.
But, this needs to be the last mention of Punk. There is no further benefit which can be gained.
The number of times I’ve said that exact phrase this week is mind boggling. I watched every damn episode of Nitro, Thunder, every PPV, from the moment of the ‘3rd man’ to the night I had to see Shane fucking McMahon on a simulcast.
Anyone who thinks AEW showing the tape is anything close to WCW 2000 must have parents who were fucking siblings, jesus christ.
Rolltide!
