It'd be the funniest f***ing thing in the world if MJF beats Mox and then ALSO has a post-show scrum muffin meltdown. I'm half expecting the Bucks to bring out muffins. Seems like the kind of twattish thing they'd do. That's more a BTE bit, I'd say. |

I don't think anyone but Punk and maybe Ace knew that Punk would go on a deranged, muffin-fueled burning of professional and personal bridges as his boss looked on.

Punk told people that they wouldn't want to miss the press conference but that's just something you say

Seems like the kind of twattish thing they'd do. Wouldn't put this past them at all....definitely sounds right. I'd freakin laugh but still your right that's the type of petty behavior I expect from them. |

Where does "The Elite are mega petty goon monsters who thrive on spite and mean-spirited meme prop comedy" even come from? Is it just the Bucks' twitter bio? Is it anything?

I don't know, it might be that that's kind of their Kayfabe persona, but I haven't heard very many bad things from people who actually know them. |

I don't think they're mean spirited at all, but the Bucks do sometimes turn criticism into tongue-in-cheek bits. They get mocked for overpaying for sneakers, so they constantly talk about overpaying for sneakers on BTE. They get criticised for being too flippy in the ring, so they add extra flips to everything. The Elite flub a powerbomb on Luchasaurus so they do an entire BTE skit about being unable to powerbomb Nakazawa. I don't consider that mean, it's just them being self aware and having a sense of humour about themselves. Many people hate that shit though and see it for something it isn't meant to be, IMO. |

I dunno, overpaying for sneakers apparently allows them to kick down metal outward-swinging doors so I think they played the long game on that one. Shit, I kinda want a pair of Young Bucks-approved stompers now. |

The cynic in me feels Tony is just saying this to save face. I mean no matter how you slice it, it was a bad look for Tony to just stand there and nod along while Punk was tearing everyone apart verbally. Plus didn't Tony invite the reporters to the show because he knew Punk was going to rant? Granted he obviously was not expecting it to go as far as it actually did. Regardless Tony looked very bad in that and came off like he could not control his workers and just let it almost passively happen instead of shutting Punk down. The fact TK didnt know what Punk was going to say is pretty much estabilished a long time ago, it was widely reported Punk just said he was going to go into some stuff but TK didnt think much of it. The reporters were invited to the show because he is a reporter, he was there before.Kids get invited to those, it isnt a big event. I mean I remember reading about how Khan was really insisting guys like Meltzer show up by saying "something big" (or something akin to that) would happen. Again I don't think Khan expected it to get that intense but he at least had a idea that Punk was going to go on a borderline pipebomb. Regardless Tony just comes off in that tweet as trying to save face because I still maintain it was a bad look that he just stood there and let Punk go off and did nothing to cut him off. |

He tried to cut him off several times and Punk kept going, and essentially buried himself. I get tired of the "Khan did nothing" thing, he was quite literally trying to steer the conversation multiple times, Punk held on to the wheel and drove off the cliff, that's on him imo. |

I don't know, it might be that that's kind of their Kayfabe persona, but I haven't heard very many bad things from people who actually know them. Right, in kayfabe, you get them basically playing Kliq-types sometimes, like mocking Cody for crying in the "my brother!" promo with Dustin, saying "We've over it", but that's A. in kayfabe, and B. was also tempered by it seemingly being part of the story that they were actually kind of resentful of how much Cody vs Dustin was probably the most talked about match of the first AEW show, so there was a touch of envy, making them be pettier. IRL, I haven't really heard a lot of them being petty. Sensitive sometimes, sure, like their bad blood with NJPW before it got cleared up for how it ended, but a lot of that seems to have been the former CEO being kind of a dickhead. |
