“I just feel it was longer because I got a lariat in the throat from Takiawa every night. Or because my back hurt from carrying CW the whole tour. Or my ears were bleeding from listening to Corino promos.”
It may not have been as bad as he remembers it to be, but eighteen years is a long time.

Current AEW pro-wrestler Paul Wight has revealed that even he’s heard the same news, but even he doesn’t know for sure.
“I’m excited about it. I don’t really know. I’ve heard, of course, some backstage scuttlebutt. I’m friends with Daniel Bryan and CM Punk both. I think if either one of those guys made a serious commitment to come to AEW, they would blow the roof off the industry.”

“There’s a lot more freedom for guys like Daniel Bryan and CM Punk to really excel and give the fans what they love most about them, there’s very little micromanaging in AEW. There’s a lot of trust in your professionalism and knowing who you are as a talent and what you bring to the table, there’s a lot of freedom to really amplify that and bring out the most for the fans. Personally, from where I’m sitting, I think it would be an incredible opportunity for Phil and Daniel to come here to AEW. If they do, that’s fantastic.” h/t RingReport
