Might wanna throw a language warning on that, Whoo Kid likes using the N Word True, he never really actually says who broke it up. Big Hawaiian-Lookin' Joe. That makes more sense since Khan seemed scared shitless at the entire event and even admitted to such, Joe seems like the person, if it was Joe, to yell at Punk and tell him off, no way he'd let that shit go, and having been longtime friends with Punk he'd likely be one of the few people to diffuse it. I dont remember how much Jack bled in the HOOK match but yeah that might have added to the blood flying

I hope Joe offers to give people a nice Hawaiian Punch.

All seriousness, I'm pretty sure Joe at least lived in Hawaii for a little while? I swear I can remember him saying years ago that it's how he got some exposure to Japanese wrestling at a younger age, since some channels showing AJPW and whatnot would make it around the Pacific.
Just funny hearing Sam Roberts be kind of baffled at "big Hawaiian dude" when even something remotely close to "Samoan" would've gotten him to go "oh yeah, Joe."

Maybe he was referring to one of the Von Erichs--Kevin, Ross, or Marshall?

It honestly matches what Joe himself has insinuated, if you read between the lines.
I can't remember what he said exactly, but he all but said that he made it clear to Punk that they were going to have a match or he and Punk were gonna have problems.

There’s a whole generation of guys that got famous in ROH that will probably end up comprising the next generation of backstage management across both companies. Pretty wild. So, what you're saying is that Tony Khan's stooges will be Special K? Damn, I am all for this👍👍 If they’re not available I’d love to see Dunn and Marcos again.

I'm sure it was low on the totem pole and it seems like TK's main priority was delivering the match but I wonder if it crossed his mind to switch the finish if he was already thinking that this was it for Punk.

I mean this doesn't really change anything does it?
-Punk was angry and there was a brawl -Perry was bleeding from his match -Joe was yelling at people to get them in line
We knew all that before, no?

Can you imagine if Tony tried that? I 100% see Punk not wanting to play along and we get a new Montreal.

An unbiased third party person saying all this is actually really important given how Punk stans keep operating under the impression that AEW is lying and Punk never did anything wrong.

It confirms the majority of accounts that have come out, that aren't put out there by Punk's camp, which I'm sure Punk stans hate.

That's probably the most impartial report we're going to get, unless some Wembley employee who knows nothing about wrestling and just calls them "guy with long hair" and "guy with tattoos" talks about it.
Joe showed himself to be the locker room leader that Punk wishes he was and got everything back on track.

So Joe basically got the AEW title because he acted like an adult?
Also because Punk got fired and Cole got injured but like to think Joe is champion because everyone respects him.
