PWInsider:"For those who have asked about reports of CM Punk undergoing surgery for a torn triceps, we can confirm that was the case. The AEW third party legal investigation is still ongoing."

f***ing come on now! Bucks and Kenny should've known better than to walk it well Punk was that heated. And you know that but that Punk hate runs deep huh?

Have you ever worked in a media-facing job? You're damn right your boss would immediately go to speak with you if you went off-script in any way, nevermind a public meltdown like Punk did. What do you want them to do, let a manchild hijack their life's work because he's a spoiled brat?

I was digging for something and came across this post, I'd somehow missed it a few hundred pages ago...

You bring up a great point that I hadn't considered (and have experience with)

As someone who has worked in Media...yeah...I've actually dealt with this kind of thing. One time, as the Producer & Technical Director of an afternoon drive talk radio show, I f***ed up and - during an on air debate between the Mayor and a political enemy of his - the political enemy, after getting worked up at some of the stuff the Mayor had been saying to him, dropped an F bomb live on the air. No biggie though...we run a 7 second delay...so, I dump out of the audio and the host (my direct supervisor) cuts everyone's mic but his, resets, and goes to throw to a commercial break so everyone can cool off and get back to the debate during the 6 mins of news/weather/commercials that are on deck. And in that brief few seconds of perfect timing shit storm...the F Bomb dropper...drops another, much louder, F bomb at the Mayor because it has devolved into a full blown shouting match loud enough for the host's mic to pick up. The 7 second delay (which rebuilds slowly so that the average listener won't even notice a difference) had not rebuilt so I couldn't dump out and had to sit there, mortified, as the F bomb went live over the air unedited.

Within the span of 30 seconds two different management level people who had bene listening in other parts of the building came (metaphorically) screaming into my studio control room wanting to know what the f*** had just happened and why had this F bomb gone out over the air. I explained everything as best I could and they went into the studio to try and sort THAT mess out. One of these two was a vice president of the company my radio station was a part of...the 3rd or 4th highest ranking person in the entire corporation.

Later, after we were off the air at 6pm, he came BACK to my control room. As soon as the door opened I thought "welp...i'm fired." but that wasn't the case. We had a very good discussion about the situation and what to do in the future if that set of circumstances (or anything like it) ever arose again.

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is, by the logic of some people he never should have come into my control room and if he did I should have...thrown a sucker punch while my friend the evening news anchor (who sat in a studio directly behind me with a big wall to wall window and could see everything going on - but couldn't hear it) should have come flying into the control room and thrown a chair?

I have it under good authority that before joining the Scrum, someone showed Punk the opening battle of The Transformers movie, the animated one. So if he went out there looking for blood, he can't be blamed. The level of violence and hatred for all things good in the opening twenty minutes of that movie is off the charts.

Hangman laughs with the Bucks about texting, meanwhile Cody and Omega don't do shit. Hell, Omega doesn't even smirk during that or say a damn thing. Cody's worked with Punk, so he knew that while Punk is great on the mic and a great storyteller in the ring, he's a prick and can be hard to get along with.

Punk's great on the mic, a great storyteller, loads of charisma but being that egotistical prick has held him back from reaching what he wants.

Cody’s weird in that sometimes he shows zero self-awareness and other times the cat comes across VERY self-aware lol

Anyway, Kenny’s first appearance post-Muffingate in Japan

Poor guy’s clearly lost it

Kenny's just practising for Target.

I just saw a promo video for the Packers/Bears game on Sunday Night Football on 9/18 (it was during a commercial break for Chicago P.D. on USA Network. It's not online, yet. I looked.)

It opens on Aaron Rogers for the first 15/20 seconds (hyping him up) and uses....Cult of Personality as the music bed.

So, which one of you works in video production for NBC Sports?

Ironically, Aaron Rogers shares some similar characteristics to Punk

That’s it. Perfect thanks

Yeah Cody and Kennys body language giving off major “Eh I’d rather not vibes”

Oh for an updated version of this video one day lol

Kenny is like that almost the whole interview, dude probably had no opnion on Punk

Cody just seems like "no comment here is the better choice"

Yeah, it's harder to tell with Omega, since he's so often low key in these kinds of things and probably tired, but yeah, Cody and Kenny just give a little "yeah" of sorts when the topic of doing what is best for business is brought up, but otherwise don't show much enthusiasm for the subject, Cody more conspicuously. I do wonder if that was out of disdain, or maybe even just that he's just not going to get that awestruck by a guy he had worked before, probably, I cannot recall, and who he certainly knew in any case.

Yup. And that's exactly why the commercial caught my attention. That riff will always cause my ears to perk up, but when I realized the bulk of the spot is about Rogers (and all the similarities between him and Punk on a couple different levels) that's when I went "yeah, ok. Someone at NBC sports knows exactly what they're doing with this one" lol

The fact it's a for a game against the CHICAGO Bears? Really ties the whole thing together

[héad.casé]

I’ve done it!! I’ve actually caught up!! 😁😁

Hold up, multiple people in this thread also had dreams last night at least tangentially related to Muffingate?

Mine had nothing to do with any of the men involved directly, but (this is *not* a euphemism) one of their wives showed up at my childhood home on Easter Sunday asking if I knew any churches in the area having Easter Mass as the one she wanted to attend while in town was so packed they weren't letting anyone else in and she didn't know where any other ones were. So, I gave her the names and directions of three nearby churches so she had some options.

Gang, it was a full moon last night. Dreams get kinda weird on those.

...this is embarrassing, but I legit had a nightmare about Punk stalking and trying to murder me last night.

I remember when I was a kid, probably around fourth through sixth grade, I had a dream at one point that I was being chased through an elementary school (the one I went to during those years) by a ton of monsters. For some reason, despite the entrance to the school being directly next to it, I ran into the gym to get away wherein I was attacked by Linda McMahon and that's where I woke up.

If you ask me 20 years ago if you had nightmares of Bill Cosby, I would have scoffed at you.

Today? Well...

My dream last night was also weird. Involved an ex, being entrapped in Japan, watching king of the hill, my mother enjoying Universo through an app, and a gnarly bittersweet exit from the entrapment in Japan.

The only connection to wrestling was finding a cigarette/keychain in 7/11 that ended up belonging to an old retired wrestlers who ended up calling me and helping out with said escape *_*

I mean, if it's a full moon, then it's Ace we gotta watch out for.

Guy bites a guy before the full moon's out, he's either consuming things left and right when the full moon hits, or he's the most harmless guy in the world for one day.

At this point, this entire thread has been this strange fever dream.

I've had messed up dreams, and those at least followed some rules. This led me into believing I should go back to being green, which I realize is just another thing to my own insanity at this point.

No surprise but a lot of the new Botchamania was about the CM Punk stuff, some god tier endings as well

Definitely worth a view and a post in the thread! Obvious language warning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X78u8sbuAUg&ab_channel=BotchamaniaAgain
