For a guy who didn’t listen to the interview, Dave sounds like he can recite the entire thing from memory.
Dave be lying his ass off.......
Yeah, not like Punk who literally contradicted himself in the same interview.
@@SanatoZen stick to the topic at hand and stop diverting.....Dave stay FOS and get proven wrong on a constant when it comes to Punk, cut the foolishness!
@@SanatoZenwhat was the contradiction?
@@SanatoZen I wonder too, how did Punk contradict himself?
Dave said he didn’t watch the full interview and thinks Punk regrets his time in AEW, when Punk literally said the exact opposite. Great “journalism”.
He had to watch two guys in a dojo go through glass in front of 25 people. He didn't have time for this!
Your comment deserves a billion up votes
@ad206 bro I was drinking coffee and spit all that shit out when I read this 😂
Yet again proving punk right…
Dave is legit happy about it lmaooo
Punk : I saw a bunch of goofs
Dave : Thats me and you
Alvarez : yeah
😂😂😂
Alvarez was just happy he was noticed
I think Alvarez to his credit, is starting to realise that maybe he was wrong about AEW. He at least is acknowledging the downward slide now. Dave just gets hyper defensive and lashes out at the criticism. Alvarez doesn't behave like an employee in quite such an extreme way like Dave does.
@@user-rx2hw8up2j true 🤣🤣🤣.
Alvarez still fuming his obsession over a woman is still held against him
@@tizzard1970what woman?
Dave didn't even listen to the whole interview. What kind of journalist is this guy?
A very poor one. Always has been
Dave is sure talking like he listened to the whole interview…. He is such a fraud.
He was trying to make it seem like the interview wasn’t worth listening too, yet can recite everything word for word.
The worst kind.
This whole saga exposed and burned out Dave forever. He will never be able to recover from that fall IMO. Alvarez kinda got 3/4 of the burn too lol, I think he's slowly trying to salvage whatever he can to be relevant for the upcoming years.
Overall Dave was used by his sources ( we all know who they are in AEW let's be real ) to spread BS, he got super lazy ( if he ever was a pro to begin with ), didn't verify sources that were very one sided, but the truth always prevails and time gave CM Punk reason. Now they stopped feeding Dave his weekly CM Punk rumors because obviously Punk is gone, but also because they don't need him anymore. The rest of the roster who didn't get the favors of the EVPs and defacto stood with CM Punk don't want to talk to Dave either because they know what he did to CM Punk. Tony Khan probably doesn't want to speak to him anymore because he knows he took active part in having CM Punk snap and leave. The WWE people don't want to talk to Dave because they saw what happened with him and AEW. He is DONE.
“Some Goof giving 5 stars for a match in front of a quarter-full Arena”💀
I remember when Dave used to say crowds mattered. Now he gives 4.5 * for people having a 15min match in front of 1/2 empty arenas
Remember Kurt angle never had a 5 star rated Meltzer match
Grown adults getting worked over another man's opinion on scripted fighting.
@@MScal0316 What was the last match that got 5* and how many people were in the crowd?
@@MaskedAvenger13 How about Ospreay vs Kyle Fletcher from Dynamite in Atlanta LITERALLY 3 weeks ago. It was in front of 3200 people. NEXT!!!
You two got cooked, this makes you look so so bad
Alvarez and Meltzer can do all the phony smiling and joking around that they want, you know their egos are hurting pretty bad after what Punk said about them, all of which was 100% accurate 😂
“it’s impossible for us to go over the entire interview.” Translation: we will go over the parts that are least embarrassing for our friends at AEW
The Jungle Boy / Rental Car thing is rather embarrassing for AEW and they spent good time on that portion, which arguably is the most interesting aspect of this whole thing because that's what started this whole ordeal in the first place.
They literally discussed the most talked about talking points of the interview.
@@TheeGlocktopus They tried to spin it like someone in management told Jungle Boy do it, which is ridiculous because Jungle Boy's entire MO is that he refuses to listen to backstage authority figures, and he was specifically being told not to do it by the people running Collision.
Facts 😂😂
@@Salisboury Did you listen to the entire Punk interview? There was a lot left out by old man Dave.
“ I heard it from the internet “
-world renowned journalist , Dave Meltzer
Bryan is absolutely one hundred percent lying about the colt cabana thing. They absolutely pushed that this was the story.
Provide a show and timestamp of when this supposedly happened.
@@jackakimbo5718read the May 30, 2022 newsletter.
They forced the opinion that Cabana was fired because of Punk as a fact on they channel. Don't be fucking lazy and find it yourself.
@@jackakimbo5718do it yourself, aew smark
@@jackakimbo5718stop being a freakin mark
The statement that Bryan and Dave and Wrestling Observer as a whole had no role in fueling the rumors of Punk and Cabana is an utter lie. Even during the feud with hangman when all of the conflict was strictly behind the scenes, Dave alluded to there being some truth to Hangman's ramblings in the promo. Then, Dave made a report on the website, while Punk was out with the foot injury, that there were rumors about Punk having something to do with Cabana's demotion/firing. These reports came well before Punk ever made the live shoot promo calling out Hangman on his return. So, yes F4W was 100% a part of the rumor mongering about the Punk/Cabana stuff. It was Tony's fault that none of this was addressed before it built up into the volcano that it did.
Tony khan isn’t here to make money, he’s here to make friends.
And make love to Orange Cassidy
And you are here not making neither of them lmao
@@Mortallica03bootlicking for a billionaire
Best Friends.

Accountability is Meltzer’s kryptonite.
Facts! Bro can’t ever just be wrong about something. He just tries to play both sides of a piece of information and then is like “well I said it was a possibility”.
TRuth
Accountability is Cm Punks kryptonite. Dude did not admit to 1 single mistake on his part, when the truth is in the middle tbh
I love how Bryan and Dave are so salty that punk put them on blast
It's hilarious. Punk said less than five people knew he signed with WWE, and now Unka Dave is trying to act like he knew it the whole time. smh
Everyone knew he was signing. Once he went on that affiliate show of wwe to squirm his way back in you knew he wanted back. This is the company that brought the warrior back, jj back I am surprised nailz is not head of talent relations at this stage. So you knew they were going to take him back. Well until he has a hissy fit over some random thing and picks on the smallest guy in the locker room.
@@tonyclifton2230 this clown parodying a journalist said that WWE was not interested and had insider information that nobody in there wanted him back. Ran with it for months and now "he knew all along". Never said better: Meltzer is a fucking goof.
Your listening comprehension is extremely horrible.

This was the definition of media spin. They took things that Punk did say in the interview and gave it a totally different context

“Ratings have been QUITE good, even now they’re at a low period”
Well, that’s a sentence.
It’s so funny how Dave’s stammering gets worse the more defensive he gets. When he knows he’s making a valid point, he’s fine.
broooo tell me about it 😂😂😂😂😂 this guys a clown
I can't stand the way he talks. Ultimate autistic mark energy.
Bryan and Dave are on AEW’s payroll you can’t convince me otherwise
Considering Dave texts Tony directly and suggest for him what to do it’s pretty obvious they’re AEW’s unofficial cheerleaders
@@JTKatz07 Dave is so dumb he didn't realize saying this exposed him even more as the clown that he is.
Who is this dude that's talking to Uncle Dave? He has really black eyes!
Crazy how he comments on the interview that he didn't even watch. So much for context. Tony Khan did way more damage to AEW then Punk ever could.
Right at the start he literally says he had time to watch over an hour, but not the entire two hour thing by the time they recorded this.
@@jackakimbo5718 Yeah, he didn't watch all of it. That's what I'm saying. He only listened to half so how does he have all the context.
“I didn’t watch the interview but I will put words into Punks’ mouth” - top wrestling “journalist”
I can’t trust anything y’all say when your credibility is this shot…
The best part is a dozen smaller wrestling “journalists” will quote Dave like it was the original interview. You can’t save these clowns.
He watched over an hour of it. No one has time to listen to a 2hr interview.
Unka Dave is so full of shit. He said from day one that WWE would never resign Punk.
Most people did and the ones that didn't are contrarians that are like a broken clock.
To be fair, he was correct. WWE never re-signed Punk... Endeavor signed Punk.
Splitting hairs. He still returned under the McMahon regime.
Cmon after what happened nobody could see it coming
They didn’t ‘resign’ him, they re-signed him. The words mean exact opposites.
Remember when Dave said there was no way Punk would got to WWE. That WWE wasn’t interested. They did need him. What’s crazy to is that he called the “ journalist” out at brawl out and said “you have my number. Why wouldn’t you call me to confirm a story”. So true.
He exposed you. Cry me a river.
Punk buried you meltzer
“goof” 😂
As everyone should. Well except for his buddies.
No they shouldn't. He doesn't do anything man. He just gives his opinions on wrestling matches and people trust/listen because the matches he says are good are usually good and he's been doing it for 90 years. We're not wrestlers and obviously we like to hear about news and shit. Where else else you going to get the news? Why are you here if you don't want news?
@@chuckles9767 I can't argue with logic lol
Five star goof. Six star goof if at Tokyo Dome@@kurtisbased183
Dave insisted Punk to WWE was not happening, he wasn't needed or wanted, now he knew all that was going on and wrote it at the time
Dave should have been on Freezing Cold Takes when Punk showed up at Survivor Series
And Dave said when Punk visited Raw in May, he was looking for a job. Punk was just visiting Bailey.
That's the Meltzer special, right next to "plans changed".
Little tangent, but on subject: on RUclips by came across old audio Meltzer and Alvarez reviewing No Way Out 2001 the night that it happened. Afterwards they are speculating on what the main event for Wrestlemania 17 was going to be. Lots of speculation. Kurt angle's name was mentioned, Kane, maybe a couple of others even though Steve Austin won The Rumble and The Rock just won the title and that was the top match to do anyway...
But I guarantee if you asked Dave Meltzer today about WrestleMania 17 he would tell you that the plan was Steve Austin versus The Rock all along and that he knew it all along. That it was 'obvious'.
The dude is a super fan with a newsletter. The dude was persistent enough to go to shows, pick up the phone and call wrestlers, try to meet wrestlers in the guise of a 'journalist', network, make connections and establish contacts and consistently put out his newsletter over the years and this is the final product.
He helped create this acrobatic tumbling act that the aew / Indy style is because the dude has been so immersed in pro wrestling his entire life that he probably got bored with it and unfortunately because wrestlers are typically as big of marks as we are and because Dave was one consistent dirtsheet of the business, the dude had influence.
Thanks to the Bruce Prichard podcast, followed by others like Eric Bischoff and other guys that have called Dave out on his shit (which I always thought that they were just office guys still mad at him for spoiling shit and maybe going a little too hard on him) and over a period of time, armed with that information and perspective, people have began to see what a fraud and a clown the dude is particularly in comparison to how he was viewed in decades past.
Not saying Dave is a bad person or anything but you just have to call it what it is. He has been a cancer on the wrestling business.
That’s not what he said. He said WWE didn’t need him and SOME people didn’t want him but that everyone knew it would make money. He hedges his bets a lot, people misinterpret his opinions and things he hears as being fact. He rarely says something definitively.
"I heard it from the Internet" A+ journalism Uncle Dave
Dave Meltzer is by far the most delusional person in the world. It might be time to call it quits.
So if the dog is in the NDA, which one of the Bucks hit the dog?
Exactly. The fact that Larry is even part of the NDA proves the story about the Bucks hitting him with the door was true.

Saying Jungle Boy "works all the time" at his ONE DAY A WEEK JOB (2 if there's a ppv that week), coming from a guy who's wrestled him on the indies is HILARIOUS
The fact he called out Dave is awesome
Dave not listening to the interview in full and then reporting on it just proved Punk’s point about shitty “journalism” within the wrestling business
Why is it when the Jack Perry situation comes up everyone always ignores that it was him that got into CM Punk's space. An that it was Jack Perry that said, "Do something about it."
he got put to sleep
Doesn't matter one bit what he said. Perry was absolutely being dumb as fuck over that, but you don't get to assault coworkers because you didn't like what they said.

Dave is a super fan with a newsletter.
Meltzer has got to stop rambling and let Alvarez talk. Also, just say what people have told you that contradicts Punk. Stop tip toeing around things. It’s clear you have a POV. Explain it clearly.
This is what to me makes these guys so unbelievable compared to Punks story. Punk is straight forward, with facts to back up his arguments, specific examples. These guys are so broad, and unspecific with their arguments- that it’s hard to sympathize with their perspective.
This is Dave's show. Bryan has 10 other shows he can talk on.
@@ChrisCardshe can’t even talk without stammering 😂
This why people rather listen to Cornette. Theses guys are just goofs
Cornette is even more of a goof. And a racist goof at that
Everything punk said is exactly what is wrong with aew Tony khan is NOT a boss he’s just a fan that lets the wrestlers run the show
Man, Dave has really damaged any credibility he had with his refusal to see the real problems in AEW. As time goes on, more and more of what Cornette has said is proving correct.
Ol' marble mouth Meltzer never had any credibility. Just more people starting to understand this fact.
Ha.
Cornette was there!!!! Lmao unreal how accurate he was.
Father Cornette called it from the beginning.Everything has happened exactly as he said it would.

Dave lying, he said for months he wasn’t CM Punk wasn’t returning to WWE
I said that to! Damn, now I'M a liar!
You can feel the butthurt in the air. Dave should have listened to the whole interview. Very irresponsible to comment on what he didn't even watch.
if you can feel butthurt here, what kind of atomic explosion went through that demschizo shitlib with trans t-shirts throughout the last few years? Not gonna mention that, yeah, he dooone donked on them, hell yeah!
The "Wrestling Legend" got his feefees hurt by two random nobody journos/podcasters and felt like making a shitfest about it, gotta give it to him for his 13-year old girl mental capacity

Dave thinks stu grayson being fired is more important than the punk interview
yes it kinda is. Someone losing job is more important than someone whining
@souvikdeb808 I wish stu greyson well but you know very well that backstage this is what they're talking about. Because punk is the anti christ. He's the reason why AEW sucks rn and I say this as a fan. He spoke about what an absolute shit show it is in terms of how its run and we've been saying this for years. Even when things were great. So if saying the truth is whining now then I guess we have to learn about English all over again

You two goofs have just had a light shone on your “journalism”. The biased is mind boggling bad on how AEW has turned into a mess. Here’s an idea why don’t you press Tony Khan at the next media scrum like journalists are suppose to do. Got a feeling you won’t as you fall to pieces when you are face to face with people. He made valued points about AEW not being a real business because they are not interested in drawing a house, and making money and it’s just a vanity project by Tony Khan.
When Punk said choking Jack was the “responsible” thing to do, it’s because when a fight breaks out neutralising someone with a hold is a lot safer than striking someone.
This. Everyone keeps acting like this meant he grabbed his throat like The Undertaker and lifted the poor child into the air.
What it actually means is that he put him in a headlock/rear-naked choke probably.
responsible thing to do is avoiding fights
@@loserhimself4044 but when one does break out, stopping the person is more responsible than beating the shit out of them.
@@loserhimself4044 Punk tried to by asking his boss to intervene. That's poor management, not getting involved in a dispute between coworkers
@@loserhimself4044Well Jungle Boy is the one who clearly took it to that place when he said “What are you gonna do about it?”
Dave’s uncanny ability to state something as fact then spew a ton of mumbly word vomit out to try and hedge his bets is legendary. You’ve been played boys, and you were cocky about it. And punk rightly buried you for it. You are not journalists, you are tabloid reporters. And that’s not a good thing.
“I just felt that ummm…. That I ah… uh… I don’t know.”
“Nobody did more damage to the company than he did.”
Yeah, Dave. Being the company’s biggest draw while he was there did such tremendous damage to AEW
Hangman hurt the company with that workers rights promo
They all damaged the company. The Elite and Jungle Boy obviously started it but Punk made it worse by his actions. "Lightly choke." He legit assaulted someone over a off hand comment. Ultimately the one who's responsible not stopping all this from blowing over is Tony Khan. As great some of the matches he sets up, he failed at dealing with this situation before it got out of hand.
He can’t see the irony in his words. Almost every anti-punk piece came from the observer which in turn outted Tony’s incompetence, which in turn made the IWC lose faith in AEW. Meltzer’s relationship in AEW is the embodiment of the “who shot Hannibal” meme.
@@FiveSecReviewsnobody has done more damage than hangman overall. Most of the decline starts with him and his "I'm going to shoot on live tv" bs
Marks at the WON convinced guys like hangman and jungle boy that they were stars, which is exactly why they developed these inflated opinions of themselves and threw their weight and ego around. A real star and proven draw stepped into that locker room and gave them a dose of reality in the wrestling business, and none of these dorks can hack it.
Again Dave mentions how he is texting Tony Khan about things to do and deal with. You are not really objectively covering this company. He needs this promotion to validate him and his prefered style so will defend and spin best he can on everything. First thing he says is noone did more damage to aew then cm punk, no, sorry, Tony Khan has done more damage to his company then anyone by not being a boss. Punk was a ratings , merchandise and attendance mover, proving his point, aew run by tony isnt a business its a fantasy league he gets to book.
Dave: I listened to the first 5 minutes and knew everything punk was going to say. 1.5 stars
Jfc I'm only 2 and a half minutes in and already Dave has spent an entire minute not finishing a single sentence or thought. "Umm... The thing is... You know... Umm... Here's the thing... A lot of people... Well... Umm..."
How does anybody listen to this guy regularly? Insufferable.
Between this and interrupting Alvarez, I agree

How did Punk damage the company more than Tony did himself? He was gone for 8 months, Elite was right back after month. Tony had full roster to produce good TV and hook viewers, but he couldn't produce a single feud on the level of Punk/MJF. Of course these 2, AEW's biggest defenders, are going to get mad over it, but the fact is most people agreeing with Punk on lot of things online says a lot of AEW's perception outside of niche IWC and f4wonline bubble
Punk “damaged” the company by leaving and showing Dave’s buddies how terrible they are at drawing ratings because no matter how hard he tried to push a narrative, ratings have dropped since Punk left. His declared best wrestler in the world Osperay bombed in the ratings in the main event a few weeks ago and he won’t mention that.
Not to mention Dave literally ran a year long smear campaign against Punk, who was the company’s biggest star. Dave has done so much damage to AEW.
I see all facts.
Tony Khan wants to be in charge but not take a charge. He wants to be the booker but not be creative. He is the number one problem.
Brawl Out was an embarrassment to the tallest order. Punk was an absolute disgrace that day. Top 3 most disgraceful moments in my 34 years as a fan. I blame Tony Kahn for not putting his foot down when he should have multiple times but I also am not excusing this scumbag of a person for overpowering his position to bury the company every which way he possibly could. Couldnt keep his mouth shut for longer than 2 weeks at a time an entire year since that incident. Nothing he had to say helped anything and he freaking knew it. Took 0 accountability in his role in all of it. He wasnt wrong in his overall assessment in Tony Kahn and the way AEW does its business but coming from him paints him as a gigantic POS I have absolutely 0 respect for as a fan and as a person.
What??? Dave ran a year long smewr campaign. Omfg you guys are insna3
No one did more damage to the company than Hangman Page. AEW is unwatchable as long as they still pay a guy that unprofessional.
Tony is that substitute teacher nobody is afraid of and takes advantages on.
Dave, PAY ATTENTION! He clearly said he doesn’t regret going to AEW. You’re doing too much, this is why you make so many mistakes.
"I didn't have time to listen to it, I had to watch Raw, and write a daily update, and argue with people on Twitter for several hours."
The cope is so real
Meltzer also has a burner that he uses on this channel to argue with people.
That was the most astounding part of Uncle Daves involvement with that whole thing. Punk literally said to him and Alvarez 'you have my number and you never bothered to reach out'
Why was Dave so concerned about protecting Tiny and the Bucks feelings that he couldn't even text Punk to confirm or deny the stuff he was wearing from the other side before printing it?
Tiny! Hahaha I don’t know if it was a spelling mistake or on purpose! But imma call him Tiny Khan from now on!
I like how you conveniently leave out the fact that Jack basically challenged Punk to do something about it before he choked him.
What gets me, is the privilege of wanting to destroy a rental car and really thinking nothing about it. Wish I could get to a point in life where I could wreck rentals and go, “Meh…”
Just the be the rich son of a famed TV actor.
It’s the Joey Ryan PWG mindset: You’re a rockstar performing in front of a thousand neckbeards and everyone else is an npc jealous of your ability to fill fractions of buildings.
He's a worthless nepo baby, no surprise in that behavior.
He knew Tony would pay the bill - next level entitlement lmao
Why David is texting Tony telling him what to do?
It’s so funny honestly
Meltzer exposed himself and showed what Cornette and Bischoff had said about Tony Khan for a long time. Tony is only booking for Dave Meltzer and even with the unlimited money Khan has watching the ratings drop and 15k arenas getting barely 3k people show that Meltzer has zero idea about the business.
Journalism 101, Dave - you are NOT friends with the promoters!
not a boss
And he didn’t even ask punk about it all either. Exactly what punk criticized them for
So Meltzer outright admitted that he is texting Khan on how to run the locker room?
Lol I caught that too
Young Bucks would be jobbers on WWE but Tony is texting Meltzer the one that knows best about the business than anyone that is why Meltzer boys have a high position in AEW even when they are ratings cancer. 😂😂😂😂
funny thing is, we know Meltzer is probably just replying to Tony Khan's stupid questions with his own moronic opinion.
This is my first experience of Bryan Alvarez.... I definitely won't be having another one 💩💩💩
8:40 No, there wasn't, "stuff." You wrote that Punk had reached out and been turned down. That didn't happen.
Dave proving punk right constantly is the best of it all.
These two are walking on egg shells here.
The line about the 5* matches in quarter-full buildings was brutal. AEW has got to stop running these 20,000 seat basketball arenas. The shots you get on TV look awkward because the ring and entrance ramp are off center, and it looks awkward watching wrestlers pose for the empty half of the arena just because that's where the hard cam is. Go get a 5,000 seat building and pack that place to the rafters.
Dave is a clown he can't get a single coherent thought across, but AEW was great now its not CM Punks not there what's the excuse why there's still so much drama
What nonsense are you talking about. What drama?
Literally what drama? Your imagination does not count in the real world.
Punk : Goofs
Dave : That's me and you Bryan(Nephew)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Could be a new tag team...And the challengers, in the blue corner, weighing in at a combined weight of 323 pounds, Dave Meltzer and Brian Alverez, The Goofs!
It was only a matter of time before Punk exposed how absurd AEW actually is. They of course will deny everything he has said.
But anyone being honest will admit everything he has said in this interview is completely believable. And likely all true too.
This show is totally buried, very sad 🎻
Lmao Dave no the Aew cuts are not bigger than this interview 🤦🏻♂️
Wow Meltzer saying no one did more damage to AEW than Punk. Punk was trying to help AEW. Tony Khan is the one that’s done the most damage to AEW.
haha These goofs Meltzer and Alvarez never had a 5 star match or sell out an arena like CM Punk yet they think they know more than him. YOU BOTH have done more harm to AEW than CM Punk with your high school gossip bullshit. Y`all made him a richer man now in WWE! Great Journalism! 😂👏👏
WWE and Punk bridge was so burned that I thought Punk will be like Macho Man and never comeback but then Tony, Meltzer and the Elite showed Punk that they are incompetent about the business that Punk decided to comeback to WWE. 😂😂😂
How bad do you have to be for Punk to say I'll go back to WWE. The same place that send termination papers on his wedding day. lol Granted Vince is not there
anymore to ruin him @@petersonofleo11
Dave speaks in jigsaw puzzle pieces...holy shit.
Do you mind if I steal this line from you lol
He wants you to really have to pay attention to what he's saying 😂😂😂
And most of the pieces are missing so he can't finish his point!
As for the original incident with Jungle Jackoff, Punk said the primary issue was that he was cursing and being disrespectful toward the people who were telling him not to do it. Regardless of what led up to the final incident, Jungle Jackoff is a preliminary indie goof in the pre show match that decided to show up the top star in the company on the biggest show in the company's history. If Tony had any balls, security should have been waiting on the other side of the curtain to escort Jungle Jackoff from the building. There should have never even been an opportunity for Jackoff and Punk to make physical contact with one another. This was all 100% Tony's fault, just as the Brawl Out incident was. He could have stopped both of these events from ever happening, but chose to do nothing.
Tell me when Punk's telling lies.
Goof. I can't stop laughing.
Ha.
Why is Dave going "WOW!" for an almost 2 hour long interview when AEW PPVs are probably double that? Would he prefer acrobatics going on in each corner, picture in picture, during the interview?
What I got from this video is ‘why is Dave texting Tony advice?’
Hate feeding these guys. But they are so full of shit. Both were writing incredibly biased pieces and led the charge on the anti-Punk movement in AEW (100% fed by the Bucks). When he was finally fired OR quit AEW, they then said he was toxic and WWE was not interested. The most I'll give Dave on this one was he said and I paraphrase 'They aren't interested, it's not happening right now... I mean it could, but i really don't see it' that to me does not shout "I knew he was going to WWE"😄
top class bullshitters! These guys can't get their story together.
someone count how many times Dave said “umm, you know”.
The comment section is awesome i hope Dave and Bryan know how much they are loved and respected in the community 😂
The only ones that give you two goofs ANY credibility any more are the countless goofs that have wrestling channels on youtube and the 700k viewers aew draws every week. That HEAT you guys have been feeling from everyone else is the go away kind
Punk should've automatically gone into the Observer Hall of Fame last year just for being the Observer main character for the past two years
Dave, retire. You’ve lost your mind and your credibility.
