Suddenly sitting on a gold mine? They’ve been sitting on a gold mine for years but Vince was too arrogant and stupid to realize it.
It’s not like WWE made bank under McMahon for all that time
@@night6724they did but they could’ve made A LOTTTT more
Oh stop
Agreed
@@EllyJelly23. This, as CM Punk said "Vince McMahon's gonna make money despite himself. He's a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he's not a billionaire? It's because he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical douche bag yes-men like John Laurinaitis, who's gonna tell him everything he wants to hear."
Honestly CM Punks injury was the best case scenario because now we have this amazing build for a match that's going to absolutely blow the roof off the building when it occurs in Punk vs. Drew McIntyre.
Had he not been injured during the rumble, we'd still get that match at some point but not with this level of heat. The heat behind this build is unbelievable and then it'll get even bigger when Rollins returns to feud with Punk.
Definitely going to be feud of the year. Need to keep this back and forth going
It sucks for Punk but it actually was for the best. And Drew as well. They get to build a feud and they don't need to wrestle to do it. It helps that they are both REALLY good at that. At the same time, no one will be fed to them while they are injured and it frees up talent to make those wins and losses mean more.
I’m a punk fan and it’s hard to believe punk won’t get hurt again when he comes back.
@@shanerothrauff6512this. He won't finish it without another injury
drew McIntyre is boring, I'd like to see Punk vs Rhodes
The fact Cody vs Randy hadn’t even crossed my mind, shows how stacked the roster is. I need that feud
as long as cody drops the dusty legacy bs every damn moment. Cody pure heel materal but whatever
@@MrMarcodarko Cody is almost never the one to bring Dusty up. He didn't mention him once when he was feuding with Brock or the JD, because no one else brought it up. Reigns brought Dusty up the first time around, and Rock brought him up the second time. AJ brought up Dusty first most recently.
While WWE is heavily pushing this as The Paul Levesque Era because they want everyone on planet earth to know Vince is gone and Trips is in charge now, I feel like in ten years we're going to be referring to this era as "The Second Golden Age of WWE", with WM40 being recognized as the start of it.
Of course, this could not come true but it's just how I feek right now.
renaissance era sounds good too
I feek the same way. 😁
@@cappyjones😂😂😂
One of the reasons the attitude era succeeded is that there were plenty of wrestlers who didn't need to be in a title battle to get bums on seats. So the title could be used to boost those who needed the push. Contrast that to WCW at the time who kept sticking titles on characters who didn't need it and it just led to a stale roster and repeated storylines.
AGREED
we all loved trash tv, Thats why it got ratngs and remembered. Today everyone is pc and wants the wrestlg aspect focused more than story but dont want the trashy stories. WWE is the disney of wrestling.
I wasn’t allowed to say “what the flub” when I was four
Tiffany vs Charlotte is something i want to see
Just as long as Tiffany wins. No more charlotte burying talent. Time for her to start putting others over.
@DragonHeart613 she put rhea Ripley over. Don't be a hater
@allenshadrick22 She put over one person. ONE person. Not only that but when was the last time that Charlotte was in a non-title feud? I honestly don't remember the last time that she was involved in a rivalry that didn't involve a title.
same
@DragonHeart613 she is the queen, after all. It's evident you just don't like her. Charlotte is great, and I look forward to her return.
SummerSlam 2025: Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu vs. The Usos 🔥🔥🔥
Nah needs to be Zilla . If anyone needs to team with Jacob Fatu its needs to be his brother
Tony Khan's fumbling of Okada, Mercedes Mone and Will Ospreay needs to be studied.
Don't think any of them have been fumbled I just think everyone had the wrong expectations of all of them.
Mercedes is the big mainstream star but can't cut a promo to save her life and in AEW's women's division you really need to lead rather than just be another wrestler.
Osprey and okada wouldve gone straight to nxt if the went to the fed to make them wwe ready.
what fumbling?
This sounds like an opinion of someone who hasn't watched any AEW since any of those names have been signed.
The only one I'd slightly agree with is Mone. But I'm fine with waiting until she starts wrestling and then seeing how that plays out.
@@MrMarcodarkoseriously?
@@MrMarcodarko Okada isn't being presented as a star, he's a lacky within the "no heat" Elite. Mercedes has done absolutely nothing. Osprey has been presented the best but he's starting a feud in a meaningless mid-card title. I'd argue that at least 2/3 have been fumbled.
Random thought, what if they start pushing Chad Gable somewhere in this mix? I would love this ❤
You realize he just turned heel and is building towards a feud with Sami Zayn over the IC title, right?
aren't they doing that with him and sami
@@cdmit27 right!! I'm excited about this
@@jabberwock6 yes!!
WWE is on fire again and I'm here for it! Rock, Rhea, Cody, Punk they're why I'm watching
imagine not naming roman mf reigns
Tbh normally I watch wwe and im thinking where is this even going but now I just sit back and relax because I know triple h has a plan
Cm punk vs drew mcintyre clash at the castle
All CM Punk needs to do is stay healthy for 1 year. 1 year and he will have the best year of his career and that main event!
Carmelo Hayes Vs Seth Rollins is a match I want in the future.
Hopefully they wait a little bit for Hayes to establish himself on the main roster, I feel like Rollins vs Hayes could be a huge passing of the torch moment
@@jamiek9780 I agree 100% I want there to be a great build. Plus wouldn’t hurt if it was for a belt to.
I want Punk vs Cena as Cena’s Final match
La knight Vs Cm punk. the promos would light the roof on fire
Ngl they would have to book LA strong bc his promo style doesn’t work well vs a CM punk type guy Punk could end up burying him bad
Sheamus and his journey to getting the ic belt
Has he won the IC belt yet?
@@rodneydonaldson4097 nope
@@rodneydonaldson4097 Thats all he needs to be a Grand Slam Champion
@redneckjedi the ultimate grand slam champion, he's won every single other major accolade except the IC belt
I just want punk vs styles before styles retires :( but I don’t think we get it ughhhh fml
Summer Slam Dream Matches Rn:
* Becky vs Lyra
* Sami vs Gable vs Ijla (IC title)
* Punk vs Drew (Steel Cage, Seth returns & screws Punk)
* Usos vs New Bloodline (Bloodline Rules, Debuts Jacob Fatu x Roman returns)
* Bailey vs Stratton vs Nia vs Naomi (Fatal 4 Way Ladder Match)
* Jade x Bianca vs Kabuki Warriors rematch
* A Town Down vs DIY
* Awesome Truth vs Creed Bros
* Logan Paul vs Andrade vs Escobar
CM Punk vs everyone in the roster, one each week and we'd still cheer it.
As a Punk mark?
Yes.
no we wouldn't
Very good points. Something epic in my opinion would be Dom booted from Judgement day, returns to Rey for forgiveness, father coach, Dom is already sporting the stash, what if Rey says he can wear Eddie’s tights in a big match? Rey and the fans would lose their shit watching Eddie wrestle again…Dom does have some skill.
Punk v cody is potentially a fire feud
Suddenly? They've been working toward this era for at least 2 years.
This is truly the Renaissance era as wrestling fans from all walks of life are eating right now.
Loved the WM X7 reference Simon. Your shows are always great.
The honest reason wwe is so hot right is that there’s very few people that feel pointless. Yes not everyone has a point/a clear direction. But in the Vince regime, so many people besides Orton, Cana and Roman felt pointless. And now with way more people getting some spotlight, it feels way more people and their stories matter
Hot accordng to whom?
@@MrMarcodarko according to the in arena crowds, the number of people watching on tv, merchandise moved. Etc etc. while it’s not as hot as the overrated attitude era. But WWE has been so damn fun to watch
WOOOOO! I finally found myself at Wrestlemania 35 I even have a spotlight on my family thanks Simon!
Just a few years ago WWE could barely count on one hand how many top stars they had now they can't count on two how many they have now great times
I only want another John Cena vs CM Punk. One more time. Just to feed my inner child.
Random specific shout, but if Chad Gable does team with the creeds, either member of the new catch republic fighting chad at any point will be incredible. As will them taking on the Creeds. I just need that feud
I wish we could of saw a prime HHH vs Kevin Owens in a no holds barred match I can just see them bleeding everywhere would of been epic
Simon Miller!
Roman's Bloodline (Roman, Jimmy & Jey, and Naomi) vs. The Rock's Bloodline (Rocky, Sola, Jacob Fatu, and Nia Jax)
roman should have sami
WWE is doing the slow burn so well these days.
I love the idea of traveling back to 2017 and spoiling all of the mania 40 matches. That’ll be a real headache for some people
Jade and Bianca are (please put on a 90's commentary voive) about to be the "MEGA POWERS EXPLODE" story and that will make me laugh.
2.1million subs and we’re on a $50 Logitech webcam 😔
Still not sure why people are surprised by Punk’s injury. Returned Punk is literally made of paper. He’ll wrestle Drew and rip his other tricep.
I hate to say it, but the dude is washed now. There are people who think that he can still go like they are in 2011 or something. I watched his run before coming back, and he just doesn't have it anymore. I thought Royal Rumble would have shown them that, but 🤷🏻♀️
Wtf are u talking about? He just had one knee injury in aew and he had more matches there than roman's whole championship run. You are just a hater
@@vishalsingh-xi6guand how many botches? He looked so washed up in his matches
@@vishalsingh-xi6gu My guy, he tore his tricep and broke his foot... both in 2022 alone. Not to mention a concussion scare and othe rminor injuries. He came back to WWE and IMMEDIATELY wrecked is arm. Not hating anyone...he had some great matches in AEW... but he's washed now.
What about a Bloodline Gauntlet match at some point; Roman vs the bloodline who follow solo now, culminating in Solo with the winner being tribal chief?
Tell me about it, they got Matt Damon and featured only on 6 of their 9 shows? Ridiculous
Finn Balor vs CM Punk would feed families
It truly is The Renaissance Era
Tiffany VS Charlotte at WrestleMania, there you have it
There’s nothing better than WWE right now
Give Nakamura a manager like Paul Heyman who will talk behalf of him. Make nakamura, the deadliest foreign villain. And give us the classic from NXT 'Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura' for IC title. Make it personal, make it a bloody feud. They will surely give a 5* match.
i still want an all joshi ppv match from asuka kairi and iyo
S/o to the Iron Sheik reference from WM X7! 😂
The most ironic part of it all.
DX is running the company.
Gunther vs ilja draganov
Scottish Warrior vs Cody (c) vs Gunther vs Randy Orton
I want Mcintire to win the title at the clash and yet that would make me sad because I'm a Priest fan. I would also like to see Punk take out McIntire and cost him the title at the same match.. I want both / neither / either to happen. Everything is rock and roll!
Tony Khan is fearing for his life right now
Wow . Wow . Talk about posting a comment because you need attention . I think you need to get your carer to up your meds rather than overthinking what comments to post for 'likes' from strangers. Weirdo.
TRIPLE H DIDNT READ THE LAWSUIT
Rent free inside your head
This video is about WWE. Where in the world did Tony Khan come from? The level of obsession you people have for him is hilarious 😂
@@Morganj27 Exactly and in aew videos WWE gets mentioned you all dream about Tony Khan or what
Let's not forget Punk vs KO, which could be the best out of all of the potential Punk feuds
Cm punk vs logan paul could be a great program in about a year and a half...
I want to see a rematch between Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns.
I would like to see gargano vs chiampa in a intercontinental fued
But this doesn't explains WHY it's suddenly on a goldmine. This video only tells about the potential feuds and storylines.
kaiser v gunther will literally destroy the perception of what a great match is
How can u 4got bruiser vs the fiend
WWE has a history of letting certain opportunities pass them by.
I need Jey Uso with a singles title, Idc which. His part in the Blood Line feud and then the singles run on RAW needs to be paid off.
Was it ever explained where Simon is?
You rock Simon.
My problem with Randy vs Cody is tha everyone knows they are like great friends in real life.
Then lean into that. Friends can be competitive with each other, and Orton is still the viper, so he could always pull off a convincing betrayal with a well timed rko out of nowhere...
@@kennyfleck8630 fair
WM41:
Rock vs Roman
LA Knight vs Drew(c) for the World Heavyweight Title
Cody vs King Gunther(c) WWE Championship
Punk vs Austin*
Jimmy and Jey vs Solo and Tama
Rhea vs Charlotte 2 World Heavyweight Title
Nia vs Tiffy Time WWE title
Jade vs Bianca
DIY vs New Catch Republic world tag titles

6 man US Ladder Match
Punk vs Cody could feed families for years
gdi hhh book tiffany vs rhea. i'd kill to see that match.
This year money in the bank will peak
We need to have Chad gable vs Cody 👀
Honestly thought this was going to be a piece about how WWE will put on the dream match AEW blew: Cody vs Punk
Dragunov and Kaiser will be tag champs or #1 contender by WrestleMania. Book it. 😄
Later on it would be really cool to see babyface Roman teaming up with Sami
I really want to see a CM Punk v AJ Styles feud 🙏
and
I really want to see a CM Punk v Kevin Owens feud 🙏
But the goldmine has a weakness, its fragile in some areas example cm punk. His recent upgraded big biceps cant hide the fact that he's way past his prime.
Can’t forget about Charlotte Flair’s return…technically she’s out because because of Asuka
CM Punk Vs AJ Styles
AEW miss out on a big feud with the Elite versus Punk!! Really hate they didn’t do it!!!!
They don't need Punk for that feud.
My dream match is Punk vs Roman one on one for the World Title if Roman does win it back
And yet i’m sure Razorfist will still insist WWE needs to bring back Russo because drawing less than a 6 in 2024 is useless
LA Knight Yeah as a champion
I cant believe Simon Miller still hasn't fixed his mic, SMH. 2.1 million subs and this is the quality mic he uses, HOW? BRO IM COMMENTING THIS UNTIL YOU FIX THAT HIGH PITCH SHIT, IT HURTS MAH EARS
tiffany vs Charlotte
C m punk vs Cody Rhodes Roman vs rock charlotte vs jade
Roman reigns jimmy n jey uso vs rock solo n Tama
Let Ripley come down and take cargill out. Who is Cargill at this point? Shes riding on bianca's power but in no way has it yet
Carmelo Hayes Seth Rollins I think I deserve it
Lol you said do do
Bliss if she comes back?
Charlotte flair vs jade
Bianca Belair vs Jade Cargill 💪🏻
CM Punk wins the heavy weight championship
CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes at survivor series
AJ Styles wins Royal Rumble
CM Punk vs AJ Styles at WrestleMania
Jimmy v Solo
ive been wanting Seth vs Roman for a really long time.
why WWE hasn't hired you for their creative team is beyond me. you are weaving a EPIC storyline that can span years
Bob Lashley
I hate how good Logan Paul is. Put him with anyone idc he’s so good
I hope we have less than 200 day reigns this year
Wild
Why are you so dead set on having Rock vs Cody at next years Wrestlemania, just based off of a report by Dave Meltzer, someone who is not credible in the slightest? Waiting another 2 years for a Rock vs Roman match is going to be a drag.
