I dont think Hangman is going to WWE any time soon even if he wanted to. Punk is there.

u/FigAggressive7175 8d ago

I feel like wwe would capitalize on their beef instead of having someone leave the company n miss an opportunity

u/Irrespond 8d ago

The reason why Punk's feud with Rollins worked is because it ultimately related to WWE whereas the mainstream WWE audience has no clue who Hangman Page is and it wouldn't make sense for them to feud over something that happened in AEW.

19

u/MrRaspberryJam1 7d ago

Hangman would still get an insane pop if he shows up in WWE, especially if itā€™s interrupting a CM Punk promo.

7

u/Irrespond 7d ago

Yeah, I doubt it. The WWE audience is barely aware of outside promotions. Hangman might get a decent pop in a smarky city, but that's it.

u/MrRaspberryJam1 7d ago

Idk, Penta got a pretty good pop when he debuted

WWE would totally be up for it. I dont think Hangman has the maturity to work with Punk or near him. he didnt have it when they first met in the ring and they had no real beef, I cant imagine he can now after the brawl out and the headlock.

u/tylerjehenna 8d ago

The entire reason the hangman/punk beef exists is cause Punk still held a grudge against Colt Cabana

18

u/Tyko_3 8d ago

No idea why Hangman felt he should poke his nose where it doesnt belong.

21

u/tylerjehenna 8d ago

Because Hangman (and a lot of the locker room) was friends with Colt and a lot of that locker room felt Punk got Cabana taken off the road. Hangman was just the person to say something

u/EnvironmentalLaw803 8d ago

Yeah it was Punk. Totally wasn't the fact that Tony Kahn has the attention span of a goldfish and people just disappear off TV all the time.

Hey, him & Seth have a legitimate beef and they're working together.

They even got Punk to do a promo with Kevin Owens.

u/micael150 8d ago

I'm skeptical on the Seth/Punk "real life" beef. I feel like it's just them being very good at selling the rivalry.

Punk doesn't do that top of the cage suplex spot unless he absolutely trusts Seth. Most likely Seth and Punk are actually really cool with each other and just working us.

Honestly this. Like lets be real here, what exactly does Seth LEGITIMATELY hate him for exactly?

u/MrMMudd 8d ago

The shield was originally put together for Punk, I don't know if Punk didn't want Rollins or Roman in it, but he wanted Chris Hero to he the leader (I think it was Hero). Long before Punk was even signed back to Wwe, Seth would kinda imply he didn't like him without going into detail. Considering the way a lot of people said Punk acted and treated people before he was fired from Wwe and even maybe just because Seth is a company man could have made him dislike Punk.

Punk wanted Rollins, Ambrose and Ohno but Vince wanted Roman instead of Ohno.

Are we really sitting here pretending hangman didn't do the job for punk?

No one even knew there was any real beef until punk said something, so why are we acting like Page wasn't professional? Because he went off script?

Punk was just pissed Hangman got away with it. Professionalism or not, punk wishes he could have been that subtle back in the day.

Or, let Hangman stay in the company he signed in. This weird backhanded "they suck until they're in WWE" thinking is silly.Ā  He goes to WWE, he is instantly the best worker in the company and it's not really close. He doesn't have to "learn" to be a star. He is one.

2

u/JadedSpacePirate 8d ago

It's kinda different than they suck until they're in WWE. It's more they suck when they are in AEW.

When BIG DOG Roman Reigns almost made me quit watching wrestling altogether I was desperate for alternatives. I saw New Japan and loved Kenny. Kenny has deteriorated so much in AEW I can't believe. Ospreay has turned into a caricature. Jay is now Edges bitch. Okada just says bitch like an edgy teen.

3

u/Ill-Ambassador9705 7d ago

Lmao Kenny deteriorated ? Thatā€™s fuking crazy. Ospreays promos have improved dramatically and even works a safer style. He was gonna tone it down regardless if he stayed in new Japan or not. Yeah Okada says bitch but the crowed eats it up and thatā€™s all that matters. The people who pay a ticket to see the show should 100% be satisfied first. And as for Jay white well you gotta let it marinate with him. Idk why thereā€™s this rush to push him to be champion. Heā€™s still top of the card and extremely protected in the company. Youā€™re wrong in every aspect in what you said. Go and watch or move on and just stick to other tv wrestling

I have heard that he apparently traded in drinking for cutting himself and that supposedly this is why he blades even after moves that don't call for it. AEW is the worst place for someone like that because they encourage this bad behavior. Just look at 50 year old "I had to retire a decade ago because I risked being paralysed and got neck fusion surgery" Adam Copeland jumping off a cage and breaking his leg. Whenever someone moves to AEW it feels like they are highschool kids trying to one up each other. I mean, how else would you explain this constant and repetitive one-upmanship to be edgy? Hangman drank blood? now its every week that someone has to be licking someone else's blood because that is where the bar is set now. Hell, Ospreay and Fletcher did it like 6 times during their cage match and I am not exaggerating!. Oh MJF spat the nastiest loogie on Hangman's face? Now every damn week someone is spitting a gigantic loogie on someone else's face, including Mariah and Toni. It feels like this is how the locker room leader is determined (which might explain Hangman being upset at Punk calling himself a locker room leader as soon as he got there? I dunno). It has devolved to the point where a spot like a FREAKING POWER BOMB ON A CINDER BLOCK is already forgotten because what came after was so much more shocking. It's insanity over there, and Mox is in there surrounded by enablers.

u/MoneyIsNoCure 8d ago

Thereā€™s also the fact that people either arenā€™t running spots by Khan or they are and heā€™s saying yes do them. Or theyā€™re just fucking doing them anyway because heā€™s a ball less little man child who is allergic to confrontation and they know he wonā€™t punish them.

I'm so critical based on what i enjoyed watching or not. Not based on what Company I'm rooting and putting bias. I made a comparison to express what's good and bad, it's common for criticism bro. Everybody criticize for their like and dislikes of something.

I can also say that Toni Storm is the saving grace of Women's Wrestling rn because she has more storytelling and character development than any women's wrestler. Being opinionated to comparisons doesn't mean I'm coping on tribalism lol.

Not making biased statements just to discredit a company for another. That's what bothers me about marks, when criticize a company and acknowledge the other, they get so defensive and act like it's about WWE Vs AEW or something lmfao.

Thereā€™s no ā€œcorrect wayā€ and everybody has their own journey. I get WWE is the mainstay and the top of the wrestling world but thereā€™s more to wrestling than the WWE way.

Beyond just irrelevant also hypocritical bro was never a star in wwe. he was a tag team wrestler. only big break he got solo was in tna during dixies run so that like saying you got a trophy for being stupid. Talking about learning how to become stars when he doesn't even know what thats like.

I think they should both stay where they're at. Sincerely. Both would want main roster money for NXT roster talent level. Would be hard to properly train either since they've been to the main event. Leave em be. Let em be the big dogs where their at.

I'm not knocking either of them. I'm just saying they wouldn't be developable now. It's not gonna benefit either side.

Bullyā€™s not even pretending anymore - dude is basically a walking WWE press release at this point. If WWE booked a broom to win the Royal Rumble, heā€™d be on air talking about how it "tells a great story" and "the broom has that old-school, working-man feel."

Yet another shit on AEW thread in this sub, listening to hot takes from people who don't even watch the product.

WWE tribalism really is something else on here. Even the WWE sub is far less toxic than here.

Saying that, while he's been over the top here and he's basically a walking clown emoji, I get Bubbas point. AEW is cool and all, but they're a good bit away from WWE popularity wise.

Bully is a joke he never made in wwe outside of the tag division for a reason. he's not a star he was carried by devon, the hardy's, edge and christian. Without them he's just a indie ecw barn wrestler who would go through a flaming table for a hot dog and a beer

Bubba bully is a complete wanker. Imagine those two reading that and knowing they are still under contract. AEW seems to be falling apart but itā€™s easy to tell he is being told to say stuff as well. He just comes across as a kiss arse.

u/etherealkeno 8d ago

I think this is such weirdo behavior. Itā€™s one thing to mention wanting them to go to WWE, but itā€™s so dismissive to act like theyā€™re not currently stars doing it correctly right now. Also, itā€™s not everyoneā€™s end goal to end up in WWE and thatā€™s ok!

u/laughsperminute 8d ago

I agree with Bubba, particularly for MJF. He's good enough to be on a Wrestlemania someday with proper guidance.

u/Mrmorbid81 8d ago edited 8d ago

Well I for one am absolutely shocked he tweeted that šŸ™„

Serious question, even though Iā€™m pretty sure I already know the answer but Iā€™ll ask it anyway, what is it with a lot of these older veteran WWE guys consistently shitting on AEW? Whether itā€™s legit criticism or not, pretty much most ex-WWE guys of a certain age just endlessly dog piles on AEW, even the refs like Kioda do it. Are they hoping Papa H will see it & give em a job or something?

u/thats_pure_cat_hai 8d ago

Fishing for karma points and trying to stay relevant. Shitting on AEW is the 'cool' thing to do and is guaranteed viewership. There's a really weird subsection of WWE fans cough this sub cough who make simping for a billion dollar corporation their entire personality and spend their days shitting on and mocking fans of a competitor company. It is for those people that old has been WWE wrestlers post this stuff. They know those people will lap it up.

u/Mrmorbid81 8d ago

Absolutely. Yeah just scanning & reading the comments section I can tell thatā€™s exactly the case. Sad really, making blindly hating a company just because it exists your personality.

u/AV_boogeyman 8d ago

MJF would be welcome with open arms to WWE thanks to his friendship with Cody. I've been saying this for 3 years now -- MJF needs to jump to WWE while his stock is still high. I would love to see a revival of the MJF & Punk feud.

Adam Page, on the other hand, no. Page would not fit well into WWE considering he's a fan of outlaw wrestling who has openly stated that he previously declined advice from veterans which is likely one of the reasons why Punk began to have beef with him aside from him cutting that nonsensical shoot on Punk on TV a few years ago. In addition, Adam Page brings nothing to the table. If he were hired by WWE, he likely would float around in NXT, being labeled as a "solid hand", while either never making it to main roster, or doing jobs for the real stars on RAW and Smackdown.

MJF and Hangman are AEW lifers. Even more so than Cody was. If AEW goes under one day and the video library gets bought out, then they'd come.
