People need to realize Hangman is only 30 years old. He's going to have like a decade to shine after this.

AEW Double or Nothing 2022 |OT| The Best Wrestling in the World by a Large Margin
- Thread starter Empyrean Cocytus
- Start date
Overall, I'd say this was a 7/10 PPV. However, I'm so happy that Deeb and Rosa put on an awesome title match, we're finally getting rid of the godawful MOTY/Sammy/Tay stuff, Page looks to be on his way to heel town, and Julia Hart finally let the dark queen of the House of Black out.
But dear God, someone needs to tell TK that not every feud needs to be on a PPV simply because it's a feud. PPVs are for the important stuff.

I'm bummed Page lost and I think based on match quality he had an incredible run.
I drawl the parallel between Page and Okada. The first run with the title was great but the second run will be the one that goes down in history.
Rest up cowboy, you earned it.

Danielson is humble, he doesn't need belts. Punk has a gigantic ego. But, also, to him, the belts is what all of this is about. He won't say no to a title chance
Yeah... parts of it did feel like I got a super-sized Dynamite.
I could see it being Hangman first with Kenny beating him to even the count between them. With a heel Hangman potentially.
Incredible PPV. Time flew by for me. I'll post a review of it tomorrow. I'm sure I'm in the minority though as ERA always loves negitivity.
Punk getting the belt is good. Hangman had a great run with it.
I'm still disappointed Hobbs and Starks aren't tag champions. T_T

And thats why it rub me the wrong way. Maybe in a rematch sure alright but of course he wouldn't lose in his first attempt
You can get a lot out of this in the short term and that helps it go long term. Kenta being Punk's opponent for Forbidden Door and the "poison" in Hangman coming back with sprinkles of Bullet Club nostalgia can set the seeds of him being heel again. AEW likes factions, and you can have Kenta be the start of Hangman's heel feud with a Bullet Club reunion of sorts.
I'm so fucking happy man. CM Punk returning is the reason why I'm watching wrestling again.

This thread has some weird (but interesting) reactions, and seems really split on the decision... which makes me think Punk was the right choice to win. It opens up more doors and stories going forward
I don't know what the feeling is outside of this thread though
Personally I think they will work towards Punk vs Omega at Full Gear, but anything can happen in the months between then and now

If I were to guess, Okada or Tanahashi since Forbidden door is coming up.
I know they're already ROH champions but this is AEW baby. I'm ready for FTR to dethrone the Jungle Friends.
I love y'all, but I gotta say that some of you look for the worst in everything. I get it that some are jaded from hate watching wrassling for the past 20 years. But really, I think this is the first time that following the discussion on Era detracted from my enjoyment of the show. I would not check for a bit, come back to post something, and see negative comments that didn't line up with what I was seeing on screen at all. To be fair, I also dropped some criticisms in here but some of the stuff I read were straight up fabrications. (Ex. Jeff looked high, the crowd was shitting on the main event)
With all that said, not AE-Dub's best show. The positives far outweighed the negatives though and I'm actually kind of surprised that it felt shorter than it was.

Lol I know that, just not surprised is all.
Anyway show was...ok but I found myself looking at my phone more often than I normally would during an AEW PPV. It definitely picked up a bit around KOR vs Darby then picked up even more during Rosa vs Deeb. The last 5 matches were pretty good, finish aside for the main event. MOTN for me is either Rosa vs Deeb, the trio tag match or anarchy. Not sure yet.
yep, agree with all of that.
at the end of the day, punk is the biggest name/draw they have, so making him the champ just makes business sense. there will be seriously no lack of competitors you can pit him against and have it be interesting and he should get a good reign out of it. ultimately, i do hope it's eddie that wins it next but i'm not sure that will happen. still been waiting on santana/ortiz to get their long-deserved run with the belts too.
I mean he clearly hijacked the booking and put himself over, brother!
It was awesome live! My only 2 complaints were a third of the arena running for the bathroom and merch stand when Anna Jay's music hit and AEW's insistence of only having one merch stand going in these larger arenas. Line for merch looks about 2 hours long now.
If people are really mad about Punk winning I wonder how furious they're going to be when Adam Cole takes the belt from him.
