Does the “CM” in “CM Punk” stand for “Consumer of Muffins”?

I wouldn't rule it out.

Punk story washed up and over.

All my homies talking about T-Lo blocking the world.

I think one problem with the 'valid points' theory is that unless he's got something to back up his claim that the Bucks were the leakers, he's a raging dick lashing out in paranoia. Take out the Colt thing and you only have him publicly accusing his bosses and running them down a whole bunch, and him implying a single comment in a single promo almost made him walk on the PPV and that's the other guy's fault. Even when he can have a point, he goes about it so horribly that it undermines what he's trying to say.

Absolute favorite band. Are they playing The Middle East?

Additionally, I don't think it's fair to say that the Malakai leak came from AEW higher-ups for certain at the moment. I really don't want to speculate or in any way discuss or comment someone's mental health further adding to the cycle, but that information could have come from a number of places, including a dirt sheet writer making it up and it just so happened to be true.

It's also one of those things where, yeah, Punk has had a big career, but he also blatantly was really out of the loop about stuff that didn't personally concern him, like how Hangman's been wrestling for more than 13 years, and that yeah, he obviously has gained a lot of prominence in the last 3, he isn't some greenhorn. Punk just doesn't know him because his fingers haven't been on the pulse of wrestling for some time, and it's kind of obvious.

I think Punk probably has the guys he wanted to work, and he knows shit about them. But Hangman is very clearly someone he worked because Hangman had the title. Not out of any interest in him, not out of any care for his work, but because he knew he'd be going over and getting that top guy spot. A guy he saw nothing in, and so he's free target practice now when the insults start flying and he gets mad. A guy who was in tight with Colt, in tight with the Bucks. Hangman showed up and Punk had every 'reason' to dislike him, and even though Hangman put him over in a match that was frankly really embarrassing on Punk's part, that's 'not enough' for Punk. He went over, Hangman hasn't really sniffed the main event since or even done much of any real value, but we've got to run him down because he made one comment in a promo five months ago that Punk still doesn't like.

The seas f***ing parted to give this man the spotlight and his response to the people who stepped aside for him is real telling. Remember when Batista came back, got rejected, but rolled with it and turned that into a heel character who was infinitely more compelling than the face he'd come in as? Hell, Hangman basically played the exact same role for Punk that Punk did against The Rock, and if The Rock thinks any ill of CM Punk he's sure as shit never said as much. Really speaks to a difference of character atop the hypocrisy of him doing what he hated Rock for.

Hoo boy. Big typhoon coming in tonight where I am, and this time it's really strong and my province is in its line of sight. Signal number 3 at best, 4 at worst.

And un the end he proved that one comment that no one had any idea of what it was,right to the whole world. Ironic

Be safe, your food conversations are very fun and have been a welcomed addition to this thread!

[Mid-Carder]

Punk could have raised two good points that we'd probably be praising him for-

1. he doesn't have to explain what happened with him and Colt
2. leaking stuff to the media is pathetic

All of that is negated by bringing up Colt in the first place so he could rant, claiming the PPV only made money because of him, naming specific people with zero proof and going scorched earth on one of his coworkers and his bosses in a public setting.

Honestly, doubt there will be too much trouble in my end. Had super typhoons come before, and yes super typhoons is a term when it really gets bad... but honestly terrain wise at most I'll expect power outages and maybe just a bit of water going in through the doors, far better than coastal regions here.

Hell, just got a package from a relative close by with food I just need to heat. Burgers, hotdogs, the baked spaghetti I love, big slice of chocolate cake and scones. Won't need to cook tonight, just heat on the pan. Though, personally I don't like the spaghetti being heated. Hotdogs on it, banana ketchup, and a layer of cheese on top of it all. Far better cool for me. Another New Year dish I look forward to all year. Eat it fresh as the New Year starts, then get given the leftovers on the day. Delicious.

And really, thing I do here and there, I really kinda want to be at the roof of my house (flat roof, essentially a third floor) during the heaviest of the storm and let the wind and rain go down on me. Cold, strong, and noisy as hell. Done it here and there since high school. Just... oddly calming and safe for me.

All in all, Punk talked about his grievances towards the people he feels who wronged him. Just him. Sure, mentioning others will make said others be put in hot water, but frankly he went in that scrum for himself. Voice of the voiceless, but all that mattered to him was his voice.

Which has basically always been his M.O., again he just usually picked easy targets...

I hope Page is alright after this and can bounce back, dude got buried hard the last two months.

[Tiger Millionaire]

Just thinking of the bookends of this, Punk joining AEW, partly, he said, because when Brodie Lee was sick, it wasn't leaked, and Punk leaving AEW, partly because he was upset that everything was leaking. Of course one is real life, the other pro wrestling bullshit, but I don't live in Phil's mind.

this whole situation does feel like something that would happen in Southpaw. Lance even had a similar unprofessional meltdown at the end of the first season.
