At first I was gonna criticize Punk's current "happy to be here" routine, but you have make some great points in its defense. I have noticed that Punk has "lost a step" slightly, but it's probably mostly just general ring rust, and yeah, this might be the best way to work it out of his system.Super, I'm curious, what are your thoughts on Punk's AEW run so far? How much longer you think Punk can stretch the "happy to be here" routine before he starts getting into actual programs with people?
Though I'm pretty eager for some proper feuds, mostly because he has so many young or less big guys he can elevate and AEW needs to elevate some talent, usher them up to the next level as far as in-ring work and promos, up their cred.
