Copeland cut a babyface rah-rah speech clearly designed as a response to CM Punk's criticism of the promotion. In it, he listed theoretical dream matches he'd like to work, put over the roster as one of the best of all-time, and thanked Tony Khan for creating an alternative. It felt desperate and pointless, to be frank. You could readily believe that Copeland is in fact having a grand old time in AEW, but this segment proved Punk right. This sold no tickets. This built no interest in an ongoing storyline. This was just Copeland putting over AEW in a defensive way in front of a small, damning crowd that needed no persuading whatsoever. This, in short, was a complete waste of time.
As much as I love Edge, this was cringe. AEW went over the top all episode taking shots at what CM Punk said, and even after the show. If what he said wasn't true, they wouldn't haven't have sent Edge out there to say that. If none of it was true, they would ignore it.
This is exactly what Punk meant by "It's not a real business, it's not about selling tickets and drawing money," "it's about having great matches maybe?". AEW just proved Punk right within a week otherwise why would u put Osprey and Edge face to face on a random episode with no issue or tension between them. Just plain bad booking.
Yawn.... the only reason aew is still relevant is CM Punk mentioning it. The ONLY think aew ever had going for it was Punk/FTR/House of Black/Wardlow. A promo not needed and mangled with fakeness. Yawn.
@@MasterOfQuack ehh. Predictable and over rated as a heel, doesn’t know how to be a babyface, i.e. Roman Reigns. Not very good in the ring but good on a mic. If he wasn’t good at being a jerk, he’d be a lifer in the mid and low card matches.
Adam Copeland may be a great wrestler. However whether he has a title or no title, he would benefit AEW far more if he puts over younger talent that can become megastars which at the moment other than Swerve and MJF objectively speaking they have fumbled the ball for the past two to three years.
@naseefzarif1576 This is very weird behavior. They don't open those seats the majority of the time. Why do you even care? This shit could be all the way empty, and they could still put on better shows than most.
He's not entirely wrong. Aew is good for the industry. There needs to be a place where more talent can show the world what they can do. Where they can earn more fans and more money, and to have a variety. Atm it's cool to hate on aew but how many REALLY want it to die? How many REALLY want all these people to lose their jobs? How many REALLY just want only 1 place to watch wrestling? I see both positive and negative comments here, how many REALLY mean them? Like what you like but I've seen what happens when 1 company dominates the industry and there's nothing to make them get better. I don't wanna see that again.
I'm so tired of that line. People want AEW to get better. It's never going to get better with the guy running it and the fans pretending it's doing fine. You can only stick your fingers in your ears and say "it's good that it exists" for so long. AEW needs to get improve and it just isn't.
I didn’t get it. Don’t spend 10 minutes telling me how great the show is. Make the show compelling and it will speak for itself. Found this quite cringe and boring, personally
Thank you Adam. It’s okay to like and watch more than one wrestling promotion it’s not a crime to only watch one. If you are a wrestling you should appreciate we have such good wrestling especially 2 major promotions.
True if your a wrestling fan you can enjoy more than one company although the Adam Copeland promo didn't seem to support that and making it more seem like AEW is awesome AEW is the best anything else is Garbage
CM Punk has Tony Khan 🤡 bothered so much. He has them starting a segment of their show because of an interview he did telling the truth. As for Adam, he’s a puppet and scumbag. This guy messed around with his friends Matt Hardys girlfriend while he was rehabbing at home.
@@strongersmarterandbetter and that basically means watch AEW the rest is garbage. As for the not a drama show sure it always ain't when it is Tony Khan is usually involved in it and sometimes it involves his Twitters
Adam: "=I will put this locker room up against anyone" Past Locker room members: Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, The Hardys, The Undertaker, CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Christian and more.
"There's a reason why i came here." To wrestle with people that use real glass and work with a boss that cant be a boss ? Poor Adam, he's gonna taste soon whats like working with a sniffing coke clown like TK.
Imagine responding to heat from a podcast on your national tv show, claim you are having the time of your life while simultaneously seething with anger, saying aew has the best locker room with a straight face, and claiming that aew has the best wrestlers while not even remembering to bring your own title belt to the ring and all at the same time still managing to say absolutely nothing
@@goby1764I lost all respect for FTR and Adam for defending this company. It can’t be impossible for someone to publicly say to TK they don’t like this place
He cares so much about their title he didn't bring the belt LOL. He probably forgot he was the "champion". CM Punk owned AEW so much their microphone didn't even want to help them spread this bullcrap LOL.
He does have the belt, he's got it at the end. Heaven forbid he doesn't have it slung over his shoulder the entire promo. Punk fans will cry rivers about anything.
People are mad because CM Punk said Tony Khan isn't a booker. That's it! He said Tony is a nice guy. He never bashed Tony Khan's character, just his unwillingness to handle the backstage and the talent. He did say what every wrestler has always said, never let the boys have power or a position of power. You have to have someone that isn't a wrestler to run the yard. This is how you end up with fights, even in prison. The inmates don't run things, because it would get out of hand and it did. Punk just grew tired of it and he wanted to leave. The only person Tony Khan can blame for the issues that were is Tony Khan. He could have given Punk his release like he asked. Instead, he wanted to split the roster. How the hell is that going to work? Dude, grow some balls and sit these guys down and make them hash it out, or let them get their shots in and go grab a beer.
He starts by saying there's been lots of negativity in last week or so. Then says even if you complain about wrestling, you are still a wrestling fan. And then continues to complain about certain things happening without actually having the balls to say exact words.... 🤦🤦🤦🤦
AEW: "Stop with the tribalism, guys. Just have fun and enjoy all wrestling" Also AEW: "AEW is WHERE the BEST wrestle". The high amount of self-awareness they lack is incredible.
Gotta feel bad for Copeland. Sent to put AEW in a positive light with this promo yet the higher ups of AEW decided immediately afterwards to milk the hell outta this
Whatever the reason was for him not having the title, it made this feel like an unplanned knee-jerk reaction to CM Punk’s interview. I can’t read minds, so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and avoid assuming that’s what it actually was. But it certainly seemed like that.
Yes, let's see what the irrelevant "Uncle Jim" has to say. Cause I can't form my own opinions and have to hear what he thinks so I can repeat it word for word
@@Morganj27you mean the guy that makes money sitting at home and speaking while these marks in aew destroy their bodies for absolutely nothing but their minute audience. biggest podcast in wrestling vs amateur hour here
2/3 empty arena again. Truly awful. A real shame. AEW was a true competitor for a little while. No longer. They need to come up with some good stories and quickly.
"I came here because I saw this roster - I can face Osprey." - dude he wasnt even there. Feelings over facts is exactly what AEW is about. Fun over finances. AEW did push everyone into a better place thanks to Tony Kahn's ineptitude. Always empty wrestling is where the kids play!!!
What A Beautiful Response To Quiet The noise and the negativity. AEW is A Thriving company u should be proud of the accomplishments and furthermore Professional Wrestling. I'm so glad for Adam Copeland.

@@marktheshark7588 Yes a majority of the channels conribute to the tribalism. Content creators are new form of "drug dealer" and thier customers are the content consumers.
@@marktheshark7588Do not forget the other podcasts like Bischoff and Cornette etc that fuel this idiocy. Cornette I can give a pass to because the man legitimately lives, breathes and loves the industry but the others are just leeches.
It’s amazing how influential cm punk is on the wrestling business, he gives one interview and it causes a whole company to fire people and use up their own national tv time to respond to one man’s comments
You know what's amazing.That CM Punk would signed an NDA.But would still go on an interview to talk about the previous company,by which he already broke said NDA.And not faced any consequences.Punk did all of that just to boost his already massive ego.
Unfortunately that NDA was only for the "Brawlout" situation between him and the bucks. It didn't say he couldn't voice his dislike of how TK ran his company. So he didn't brake said NDA contact
I desperately wanted AEW to succeed because we have seen throughout 2010s what happens when there is only 1 big player. TK & Young Bucks are a "Lethal dose of poison" to AEW.

@EddiePGRPlayer420 nah, they make snide comments all the time and I’m fine with em. But this one was blatant and desperate. And the bucks said something on air too. I didn’t say anything about that because I don’t have an issue with it. But go off queen
I love how he mentioned a ton of names but flat out left Adam Cole off the list. Brilliant 😂😂😂😂
You expected him to name every single person in the back?
but leaving out MJF now that’s a crime 😂😂😂
@@usjay7671makes me wonder if he’s gone from there, haven’t seen him in months 🤔
@@jeffreysimms2318tmk, MJF took some time off to heal up. From all of the injuries he worked through.
He even left Jay White okada
Copeland cut a babyface rah-rah speech clearly designed as a response to CM Punk's criticism of the promotion. In it, he listed theoretical dream matches he'd like to work, put over the roster as one of the best of all-time, and thanked Tony Khan for creating an alternative. It felt desperate and pointless, to be frank.
You could readily believe that Copeland is in fact having a grand old time in AEW, but this segment proved Punk right. This sold no tickets. This built no interest in an ongoing storyline. This was just Copeland putting over AEW in a defensive way in front of a small, damning crowd that needed no persuading whatsoever.
This, in short, was a complete waste of time.
As much as I love Edge, this was cringe. AEW went over the top all episode taking shots at what CM Punk said, and even after the show. If what he said wasn't true, they wouldn't haven't have sent Edge out there to say that. If none of it was true, they would ignore it.
Love that moment between Ospreay and Copeland. Nothing but respect
boooooooooo!!!!
@@WilkenWilkins ☺️
I’m sure all 8 of their fans will love it
He couldn't even pronounce Ospreay correctly 😂
@@jay7449you’re so in denial, if you don’t think that’ll be a good match you’re just not a wrestling fan

@@jesseortiz7611we need Will to win the world title at Wembley tho
This is exactly what Punk meant by "It's not a real business, it's not about selling tickets and drawing money," "it's about having great matches maybe?". AEW just proved Punk right within a week otherwise why would u put Osprey and Edge face to face on a random episode with no issue or tension between them. Just plain bad booking.
@@nikhilkrishnan9not every match has to have build or an issue between the two especially a tv match. You are a really ignorant to wrestling.
@@yomamasofat77 Aew literally just had one last week lol
Yawn.... the only reason aew is still relevant is CM Punk mentioning it. The ONLY think aew ever had going for it was Punk/FTR/House of Black/Wardlow. A promo not needed and mangled with fakeness. Yawn.
Mjf?
@@MasterOfQuack ehh. Predictable and over rated as a heel, doesn’t know how to be a babyface, i.e. Roman Reigns. Not very good in the ring but good on a mic. If he wasn’t good at being a jerk, he’d be a lifer in the mid and low card matches.
I feel like Adam deserves to be in the world championship picture before he retires in AEW.
As an ultimate opportunist or....? 🤩
I mean AEW doesn’t have any other wrestlers that draw might as well put it on this old ass dude
@@Shorts-dg4pp bro what AEW has a lot of talents but they might give to Adam Copeland because he is the biggest draw for them currently
@@Gamer-y5c3xlots of talents yes. Not lots of talents that draws
Adam Copeland may be a great wrestler. However whether he has a title or no title, he would benefit AEW far more if he puts over younger talent that can become megastars which at the moment other than Swerve and MJF objectively speaking they have fumbled the ball for the past two to three years.
This promo took place in front of 2,758 fans in a 14,800 seat arena.
that’s the sad part. edge could’ve been in mania this weekend instead he took a bigger payday to work in front of no crowds
i legitimately do not care
That 14800 peoples are Roman's fangays . BTW i am not AEW Fan but still i know WWE's Audiance is shit
@@GOATRhodes can you communicate like a grown man?
Is this actually true?
Tony really asks Adam Copeland to help him cope 😭😭😭
Fitting, tony’s in a land of cope.
Nice. I see what you did there...
If a promo is cut but no one is around to hear it, did it actually happen?
If you didn't see anybody in that arena, you may need to get your eyes checked
@@Morganj27Tell AEW to show us the other side of the arena
@naseefzarif1576 This is very weird behavior. They don't open those seats the majority of the time. Why do you even care? This shit could be all the way empty, and they could still put on better shows than most.
He's not entirely wrong. Aew is good for the industry. There needs to be a place where more talent can show the world what they can do. Where they can earn more fans and more money, and to have a variety. Atm it's cool to hate on aew but how many REALLY want it to die? How many REALLY want all these people to lose their jobs? How many REALLY just want only 1 place to watch wrestling? I see both positive and negative comments here, how many REALLY mean them? Like what you like but I've seen what happens when 1 company dominates the industry and there's nothing to make them get better. I don't wanna see that again.
Preach man 👍
Finally someone with a brain
If they had a different person running the company.. then we could talk. But nothing is being done right with him in charge.
I'm so tired of that line. People want AEW to get better. It's never going to get better with the guy running it and the fans pretending it's doing fine. You can only stick your fingers in your ears and say "it's good that it exists" for so long. AEW needs to get improve and it just isn't.
@@Rebornblader do watch any of the shows? geniunely curious.
LMFAO. "There's been a lot of negative" *microphone feedback*
I didn’t get it. Don’t spend 10 minutes telling me how great the show is. Make the show compelling and it will speak for itself. Found this quite cringe and boring, personally
Just like Jim Corny said "let the ppl compliment the show , not the wrestlers"
Tony Khan clearly sent Edge out there in response to CM Punk telling the truth about the company on the podcast
Putting Punk and the word "truth" in the same sentence is just downright inhumane.
Thank you Adam. It’s okay to like and watch more than one wrestling promotion it’s not a crime to only watch one. If you are a wrestling you should appreciate we have such good wrestling especially 2 major promotions.
True if your a wrestling fan you can enjoy more than one company although the Adam Copeland promo didn't seem to support that and making it more seem like AEW is awesome AEW is the best anything else is Garbage
@@JacksonLane02 He said if you like the best wrestling then to watch AEW it's not just a drama show
CM Punk has Tony Khan 🤡 bothered so much. He has them starting a segment of their show because of an interview he did telling the truth. As for Adam, he’s a puppet and scumbag. This guy messed around with his friends Matt Hardys girlfriend while he was rehabbing at home.
@@strongersmarterandbetter and that basically means watch AEW the rest is garbage. As for the not a drama show sure it always ain't when it is Tony Khan is usually involved in it and sometimes it involves his Twitters
@@josgor9061 you came all the way to an aew channel to comment that on there video. That’s next level’s desperation.
Adam: "=I will put this locker room up against anyone"
Past Locker room members: Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, The Hardys, The Undertaker, CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Christian and more.
People talked shit about them when they were on tv too 🤷🏻♂️ said they were nothing compared to hogan, flair, macho man, etc
"Murderer's row of talent" 😂😭
Aged like milk. Now your own boss said some stupid shit.
Edge is just still pissed off about Punk hitting Beth with the GTS😅
"There's a reason why i came here."
To wrestle with people that use real glass and work with a boss that cant be a boss ? Poor Adam, he's gonna taste soon whats like working with a sniffing coke clown like TK.
Imagine responding to heat from a podcast on your national tv show, claim you are having the time of your life while simultaneously seething with anger, saying aew has the best locker room with a straight face, and claiming that aew has the best wrestlers while not even remembering to bring your own title belt to the ring and all at the same time still managing to say absolutely nothing
Just saying, I'd be cutting the same promo if Tony gave me millions to goof off with my friends on national television
@@goby1764I lost all respect for FTR and Adam for defending this company. It can’t be impossible for someone to publicly say to TK they don’t like this place
Reminds me of early 2000 triple H promos; except he had a belt
i know right what the hell is going on in this company
Why would you guys take issue with people defending their own company and standing up against critics?
You clowns must be out of your mind.
I just can’t get over how empty that room is like it sounds like you’re in a high school auditorium 😂
Edge so humble I’m starting to think they gone start doing invasions and cross over episodes
This promo just validated what CM Punk said in his interview.
what part?
You saw cope at the end flex that belt the moment Bruv came in the Ring 😂😂😂🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Just coming back to this promo to see how much they’ve shitted on this promo ever since 😂😂🤡🤡
You gotta give it to CM Punk , he got an entire company and it's fanbase rattled ,with just one interview
Only thing he can do, can't entertain in the ring
@@BRUK1423when a man can pull more views sitting down than a whole wresling company 😂😂😂 aew is 🚮
@EddiePGRPlayer420 Outdated metrics like views, ticket sales and profits? Aew literally lost money last year, why do you think they releasing people?
@EddiePGRPlayer420 You can defend it all you want but the fact is a fact.
He cares so much about their title he didn't bring the belt LOL. He probably forgot he was the "champion". CM Punk owned AEW so much their microphone didn't even want to help them spread this bullcrap LOL.
He did have his title? You holds it again at the end of his promo
He does have the belt, he's got it at the end. Heaven forbid he doesn't have it slung over his shoulder the entire promo. Punk fans will cry rivers about anything.
People are mad because CM Punk said Tony Khan isn't a booker. That's it! He said Tony is a nice guy. He never bashed Tony Khan's character, just his unwillingness to handle the backstage and the talent. He did say what every wrestler has always said, never let the boys have power or a position of power. You have to have someone that isn't a wrestler to run the yard. This is how you end up with fights, even in prison. The inmates don't run things, because it would get out of hand and it did. Punk just grew tired of it and he wanted to leave. The only person Tony Khan can blame for the issues that were is Tony Khan. He could have given Punk his release like he asked. Instead, he wanted to split the roster. How the hell is that going to work? Dude, grow some balls and sit these guys down and make them hash it out, or let them get their shots in and go grab a beer.
“ I came out here as Adam “

Haha yeah I would guess he comes out as Adam in AEW. Maybe he thought he still came out as Edge. I don't know what he's thinking lol.
He starts by saying there's been lots of negativity in last week or so. Then says even if you complain about wrestling, you are still a wrestling fan. And then continues to complain about certain things happening without actually having the balls to say exact words.... 🤦🤦🤦🤦
No bs was spewed, just punk spitting facts!
AEW: "Stop with the tribalism, guys. Just have fun and enjoy all wrestling"
Also AEW: "AEW is WHERE the BEST wrestle".
The high amount of self-awareness they lack is incredible.
Gotta feel bad for Copeland. Sent to put AEW in a positive light with this promo yet the higher ups of AEW decided immediately afterwards to milk the hell outta this
An that means cody: HUGE POP
An that means Tony khan: ZERO RESPONSE 😂😂😂
Am I the only wondering where the tnt title is when he is cutting the promo ?
He did say he didn't bring his TNT title.
Nothing helps getting the belt over more than not having it on t.v.
Why didn't he do it? That's utterly embarrassing @@reymartampus4411
Whatever the reason was for him not having the title, it made this feel like an unplanned knee-jerk reaction to CM Punk’s interview.
I can’t read minds, so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and avoid assuming that’s what it actually was. But it certainly seemed like that.
Cm punk effect continues😂😂
Punks interview had more viewers than dynamite. Embarrassing to have Adam out here addressing it
Mister Copeland surely miss his Wrestlemania moments.
If you're upset that there's more wrestling to watch and more places for wrestlers to work, you're not a fan of wrestling or wrestlers.
This didn't reek of awesomeness it reeked of patheticness

"I came here because I saw this roster - I can face Osprey." - dude he wasnt even there.
Feelings over facts is exactly what AEW is about. Fun over finances.
AEW did push everyone into a better place thanks to Tony Kahn's ineptitude. Always empty wrestling is where the kids play!!!

What A Beautiful Response To Quiet The noise and the negativity. AEW is A Thriving company u should be proud of the accomplishments and furthermore Professional Wrestling. I'm so glad for Adam Copeland.
What noise and negativity?
"thriving"
Low rating every week its garbage
Define thriving? They aren’t even selling out arenas lol.
I like how his own fans were booing him for watching WWF 30 years ago during his anti tribalism speech 😂🤡
Bet Chris Jericho was furious that he wasn't the one to go out there and open up with a rah rah speech
He is shaving is fat belly and coloring his scalp in protest as we speak
Yeah right, Jericho gets heat just for being alive these days, I bet he's glad he didn't have to touch this tribal hornets nest.
If he tried to go out and lead a rallying speech, the boos would be so loud that it would make Dominic Mysterio blush.

Adam Copeland TNT Champion.
It’s amazing how influential cm punk is on the wrestling business, he gives one interview and it causes a whole company to fire people and use up their own national tv time to respond to one man’s comments
You know what's amazing.That CM Punk would signed an NDA.But would still go on an interview to talk about the previous company,by which he already broke said NDA.And not faced any consequences.Punk did all of that just to boost his already massive ego.
Unfortunately that NDA was only for the "Brawlout" situation between him and the bucks. It didn't say he couldn't voice his dislike of how TK ran his company. So he didn't brake said NDA contact
Imagine even being mad if someone broke an NDA lololol.
I desperately wanted AEW to succeed because we have seen throughout 2010s what happens when there is only 1 big player. TK & Young Bucks are a "Lethal dose of poison" to AEW.
