    The Rocky 3 thing could work if CM Punk became the champ over Moxley and then was the champ for 12-18 months with numerous defenses, mostly squashes or at least easy wins. Along the way a Powerhouse Hobbs monster type stealthily comes up the card undefeated over 12 months crushing everyone. Then he'd beat up Ace Steel and then squash Punk after insulting Punk's wife. Then Punk comes back after a few months and wins through new tactics learned from former adversary Moxley in exchange for a title shot.

    Remember that, when Punk left WWE, he rejected the offer from Jericho to appear in his podcast. Jericho himself confirmed this and said that Punk had, apparently, said that he wasn’t interested in giving an interview to anyone who just wanted to massage their ego. Jericho was clearly pissed at this and has never gotten over it. If I were Punk, I’d tell AEW where to shove it. They need him far more than he needs them and, whilst Tony remains at the head of the management of the company, the lunatics (specifically Jericho, Bucks and co) will continue to run the asylum. Punk should walk away and watch the company crumble.

    For those who were born in the mid 1990's or early 2000's that have never seen a Rocky movie . Silvester Stallone became a major movie star in 1977 when the first Rocky movie ( Rocky) came out. He played a down trotten boxer who fought every 2 weeks in back ally bars and night clubs and was also a " fixer " for a Mafia numbers guy, and did both things to make money. Apollo Creed ( Carl Weathers) was a character inspired by Muhammad Ali, who was the heavyweight champion of the world in boxing. He was going to defend the title against the #1 contender who got injured during training, Creed decides to fight anyway by giving an unknown boxer a chance to beat him for the title, choosing Rocky , who accepts the fight with the purpose of proving to everyone that he's not a loser. Creed wins by the skin of his teeth and dicides to give Rocky a rematch to prove that he didn't beat Rocky by luck ( Rocky ll ), but ends up losing the title to him. In Rocky lll, Rocky is the multi millionaire world heavyweight champion boxer who's living the good life making money, he buying clothes, and expensive cars. Clubber Lang ( played by Mr. T ) is the hungry young fighter that's knocking everybody out and wants to find that Rocky anytime, and anywhere. If Punk had agreed to work with Moxley, who is going to be Rocky and who's going to be Clubber Lang? Because both Moxley and Punk would've both identified with Clubber Lang, and that's impossible !!!!!!!! With all do respect to him, l think that Moxley got confused with that idea.

Those surprise debuts can only last so long, then there's nobody left. Now you gotta book something. All AEW's issues were being hidden, now they out. Now look, WWE still here and still #1. All the small victories are on WWE's side again. Meltzer, Khan and everyone else are coming to a reality now. You need to be competent, cause all that BS comes to the light sooner or later.

    I can't help but laugh to myself how similar in a sense the drama I've experienced in my life for the last 2 years or so in another fandom I'm involved in is to all this AEW drama between Punk and the Elite. Watching what happened at the Press Scrum last year and the days that followed made me realize it. It's not a 1:1 the same but thematically it absolutely is if you really look at it.
    *I'm an amalgamation of Punk and Moxley. Punk mostly in that I'm the one fucked over just trying to do the job at hand, Moxley in that I'm always here to serve the project
    *The group of girls who has done nothing but stir the shit and are the favorites are the Elite
    *I personally never had an issue with the Kenny Omega of the group despite knowing what she had done to others until she did that shit to me and tried to pass the buck. Her Young Bucks always said the right things to me publicly and to me directly but say the complete opposite behind closed doors which I found out after the fact. I've barely spoken ever to the Callis and Cutler etc of the group.
    *The actors we're all serving are Tony Khan because they know it's The Elite but don't say anything because they're the biggest donors. I'm sorry I just have a regular job and can't donate endlessly to their passion project but I've donated a fuck lot for a regular joe.
    *The indiegogo show they're trying to get made is AEW.
    *I tried to do the right thing and call out the actions of The Elite directly to Tony Khan behind closed doors when they finally fucked with me directly and it's effectively ostracized me and cost me friendships even with other people The Elite have fucked with previously.
    My brain when talking about everything to others in the fandom who all know something has been happening but don't know the details is logically Cornette because I saw through all the bullshit but when trying to talk about it is Meltzer 😂

But if you were one those guys, or gals, or people, who really did listen- I mean REALLY listen to what I have to say. I'm not saying, like, that, I'm, like, some kind of wrestling guru... although... yeah, I mean, if there was a guru in, in, in, in, in, in wrestling you would prooooobably, yeah, probably have to go with myself on that one. Yeah on that one. If you really listened to me, not saying I'm a guru or that I'm not a guru or that you're guy or not a guy, if you REALLY listened to what I, or some other guy or guru who isn't me, said, like, like, like. Uhhh. You'd have to, or *sigh* well, maybe you would have to, but you're probably... .... ... very... very, uh, likely to eventually figure out, or maybe more quickly depending on what, say, kind of fan you are or aren't, that what I, uh, have to say, uh, is, uh.. really... really... something to hear. If you know what I mean.
