11 Things We Learned From CM Punk's Latest Oral Sessions Appearance
6. Punk Is "On The Fence" About AEW's Wins & Loss Records
When AEW first launched, it was boldly proclaimed how wins and losses would matter, as showcased by how Tony Khan's promotion shone a spotlight on official wins and loss records.
There have been times that these records have been overlooked, but, for the most part, AEW has continued to highlight these numbers as it establishes title challengers across the company's four main championships.
For CM Punk, he didn't sound entirely sold on this concept when asked outright by Renee Paquette on his thoughts on AEW focussing on wins and loss records.
"I'm on the fence about it. Like, I get it. It's hard to maintain, simply because they have the YouTube shows, I think, which, I think, the majority of the people's records, their matches and stuff... It kind of reminds me of Goldberg in WCW, where one Nitro he'd be, like, 10-0, then the next Nitro he'd be, like, 25-0. I'd be like, 'Wait a second, this guy wrestled twice a week for a week? What's going on?'"
On the flip side of this, the Chicago native did talk about how AEW's approach to wins and losses means people can't just come into the company and challenge AEW World Champion Kenny Omega right off the bat - as shown by he himself starting his AEW run off by facing Darby Allin.
