I don’t back Punk on any of this (because it’s clear he’s been an idiot) but I can’t help but think the smartest thing the Elite could have done was not even attempt to talk to a clearly deranged man, high on adrenaline and muffins.

Probably would have been better for everyone to let him cool off a bit.

True, though there's an alternate timeline where he says incendiary shit on Twitter all night afterwards, maybe even days afterwards, and people ask "why didn't they just talk it out and nip this in the bud?"

He definitely put them into a no-win situation.

Captain Kirk couldn't even beat this Kobayashi Maru.

I'm trying to run a starship here!

Actually, does TK own Cult of Personality for wrestling purposes? Or is it an agreement between the band and Punk?

That's not how music licensing works.

To license a song you need to license both the publishing (the composition - lyrics and notes) and the recording of whatever music you want to play. It's never just a direct band-individual deal as that would render music publishing companies obsolete and make it near impossible for the acts to keep track of who owes them money and get paid.

Since "Cult of Personality" is a pre-existing song (in this case by the band's own Famous Chappell music, currently handled by Sony ATV Music Publishing), it can be licensed to anyone who pays for it. WWE had their deal through Sony ATV, AEW has their through Sony ATV, even when the NFL had their Aaron Rodgers television commercials earlier this year with "Cult of Personality," that went through Sony ATV.

Make sense?

Yup, absolutely. Thanks for the response!

What did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed ****ing dumb **** like Leonard "Bones" McCoy to go out into outer space and ****ing go into business for himself? For what? What did I do?

I'm trying to picture CM Punk as a Starfleet captain and I'm just coming up with Janeway.

Ace Steel is a Klingon and was just trying to mate with Kenny Omega.

I'm just here to say that I have no clue what the hell is going on and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

Rumor is that Kenny and the Bucks had their suspensions end as of Friday and that they were backstage this week. Punk has been leaking his (changed from his own earlier accounts) story through the journalist that he originally called out as being a friend of Colt Cabana because why wouldn't this shit get dumber

Except she's beyond biased, and not currently employed by AEW. Why would they interview her? It's not a criminal investigation and she wouldn't be adding anything new

Why is she beyond biased ? Wouldn’t you want to talk to everyone who was in that locker room. Well maybe she might add details that don’t reflect well on the EVPs and that’s why she wasn’t interviewed. The optics look terrible btw that they didn’t interview her.

If you’re doing an internal investigation of a workplace incident, you would typically want to avoid bringing in people who don’t work for you as part of the investigation, unless absolutely necessary (like if there are no other witnesses). Here, there were a ton of people present, including impartial parties like the AEW lawyer, and so there was no need to call in a party that’s not an employee/contractor.

Woof, the song is now associated with CM Punk AND Aaron Rodgers? They should change the title to, like, “Cult of Dickheads” or something.

Might as well post this gem I found a few days ago.

*CM Punk walks into a burger joint*

Cashier: Hello sir, what can I get you today?

Punk: Have you in fact ever served Scott Colton a burger?

Cashier: Maybe? I don't know, we serve a lot of people, so not sure. What’s up?

Punk: I’m just saying, if you’ve ever served Scott Colton a burger, you should probably make others aware that you have indeed served Scott Colton a f***ing burger.

Cashier: Ok, so...I have zero clue what is happening right now, sir.

Punk: I haven’t been friends with Scott Colton way before I paid his bills and I have every single receipt.

Cashier: Right on, but again, I have zero…

Punk: And when we had to counter-sue, in discovery, we found out he shared a bank account with his mother! And THEN he wanted to drop the whole thing.

Cashier: Ok...so, again. I’m really sorry but I just don’t…

Punk: I’ll be in the lobby. If any of you have a f***ing problem, take it up with me. If you have ever served Scott Colton a burger, f*** you. If not, I apologize.

Cashier: But sir, you didn’t order your food. What the f*** is going on? Lol.

You know what I want to come out of this now? TK keeps Cult of Personality around. Thursday on Dynamite, that opening guitar lick hits and out strolls...
