Punk's media scrum, Page 54, Muffins, Biting People Bad™

[The Captain]

Anyone who calls themselves a locker room leader clearly isn't one. That's something others bestow upon you, not something that you bestow upon yourself.

The “delusional backstage leader” traces back to WWE too Cody and Jericho have talked about Punk setting up awkward meetings where’d it work for some of the talent but not for the others. In particular one where Punk said “as locker room leader I’m telling you to pick up your trash” and Booker T proceeded to throw some trash and say he wasn’t going on to be telling him to clean up trash.

RVD’s clowned on him in this respect in some clips too.

Damn don't make me cheer for Booker T come on dude

I am kinda just imagining the f***ing balls of Punk to pull something like that with someone like Booker T in the room.

You know, it's sad that Punk had a valid reason to be angry, but saying it like a complete douche just nulls it out instantly.

Hopefully AEW will keep it classy and not release close up footage of Punks backside.

Punk already did that for them by showing his entire ass at the scrum

I almost spat coke all over my keyboard. Also, not the Tony Khan kind of coke.

My dad's been consulting Youtube to try and work through this whole Punk mess since he's never seen anything like this (and wasn't regularly watching when Punk was last around so this is all coming way out of left field for him seeing mainly only Punk as attempted elder statesman type) and the last time I stopped by he was like "Have you heard Booker T's take on the Punk thing? I'm watching it now." And I was like

I would evict myself from this plane of existence if I was asked that

[Rumble McSkirmish]

Look Punk has to realize that not everyone is going to be open to his brand of advice.

Because as the late great Alan Thicke once said (Or rather sang):

As locker room leader I'm telling you to go like the Persona 5 Photoshop I did on page 337.

Is it too late to start a betting pool on how many pages this thread ends up being? I feel like we are due another push of posts due to some new revelation.

At this point, I don't know what else could make it any weirder.

-AJ Lee divorcing Punk and telling everyone he's got a small wee-wee?

-Larry the dogs vaccination records leaking?

-Kenny Omega's Libertarian Manifesto?

-Tony Khan having a literal "Scarface" style meltdown?

[chazraps]

Alright, in all seriousness, here's something to legit sink our teeth into. A very good listen.

This week's episode of the podcast Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling went live yesterday. Marty is in the unique position as he'd known Punk for a few relatively recent years when Punk kept a small circle but never once talked about the off-screen Punk following the Colt fallout.

Acknowledging Punk and the scrum being out in the open, this episode talks - not in a gossipy way or clickbait-y but an actually insightful way about it.

He comes back to it a few times throughout the whole episode, and it really puts a lot in perspective.

Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling is my favorite current weekly wrestling podcast so I'd recommend a subscription. Their take and approach to the medium is refreshing and unique.

Anyway, here's the episode, it's also on all podcast platforms - mnslovewrestling.libsyn.com/324-lets-get-into-it

I'm waiting to hear that they actually had planned on sacrificing Larry to a pagan god or that Ace is actually a cannibal.

I highly suggest googling “Mindys Bakery” in Chicago and reading the latest reviews.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I don't think any of you are doing it but... Please don't leave fake reviews for the Bakery. They're not responsible for anything.

That thought crossed my mind as well. I doubt that they were too thrilled to have their business namedropped during all of that. I legit feel for anyone that works there right now and has to deal with this. They're an innocent party.

[Psicofreak667]

NGL, Phil Brooks' nonsense aside the food from Mindy's actually sounds really damn good and I would eat some if I lived in Chicago.

[Gawk Rivers]

For what it's worth: The Mindy's reviews ppl have been leaving are all super positive (f***ing surprised me too), so as far as fake reviews go it could be A Lot worse.

AJ dumps Punk for Kenny. Kenny is Larry's new father.
