I don't mean to be dismissive of Dax's offense to Colt joking about his accent, but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal lol. I can completely understand a foreigner being upset as English isn't their first language, but Dax? I'm from England, and I can totally understand someone being upset that their accent is being mocked, considering issues of classism. I wouldn't say I have a particularly heavy regional accent, but coming from broadly the same sort of rural Appalachian part of the country that FTR does (though on the OH/WV side and not the VA/NC side), I also can completely empathize with the defensiveness over accent jokes. Even in the US, people from the biggest cities can be extraordinarily dismissive and condescending towards anybody from "flyover country", or just automatically assume that everybody shares particularly problematic values based off of that alone. It's a particularly frustrating form of regional stereotyping that's still a sore point for me and I'm going to stop before I go into my own rant. But going back to the topic at hand, there's a part of me that wonders how much of Dax's more recent... developments... have been a side effect of seemingly being one of the only current Punk confidantes still actively wrestling and on TV. Punk is more of a Littlefinger or Starscream than he'd probably be willing to admit, or that he even realizes, and I do wonder how much of this is just Punk being in his ear.

Of courses, unless Punk apologizes but his ego wont let it happen.
Thank you f***ing much. People that act like BOTH SIDES should make up are just shielding Punk from his egomaniac childish behavior. Maybe if I make it my signature everywhere people will understand eventually

AND THEY SURE WOULDN'T WANT ME TO GO TO MLW *draws logo in the sky, excalibur audibly blows nose* Dax with a mic after a match: Hey Tony, I just got a text before I went out from my old buddy, a Mr. Wrestling, who said "Let's run it back". Maybe instead of handing me these jobbers to waste my time you can give me a match it's worth it to show up for, or else next time I might hang out in gorilla answering text messages instead. The audience, Seven Nation Army posting: Leeeeet the door hit your ass leeeeet the door hit your ass

Didn’t Kenny and Punk have a conversation after the fight? It was mentioned they exchanged calmer .words by a couple of sources but nothing else came out of it. It could have been anything

Didn’t Kenny and Punk have a conversation after the fight? I don't think Kenny and Punk ever had any real HEATZ with each other until the fight like Punk had with the Bucks. Even the pro-Punk accounts of the fight I've read just made it seem like he was more caught in the middle than anything.

His reasoning for the latter answer makes a lot of sense. He should tell his buddy that.

Lord the Colt story is like when you ask someone how they’re doing, and they reply “bad” and go into a whole thing, when you really just wanted them to say “good” and quickly move on with your day.

Punk can return but only if they recreate the Cody-verse where only an oddly selected group of people are allowed to feud & interact with him.

You took an offense to someone making fun of your accent ? Buddy I have sometime to tell you about your pal Jim Cornette. And he defends Cornette's bullshit in the same podcast, going as far as to say that Cornette can say whatever he wants. I finally found what you were referring to with Dax saying Cornette can say anything he wants. Here's Dax's comments on Cornette. After listening to this, my conclusion is Dax is a dumbass.

I'd love to know what Punk thinks the Bucks should be apologising for Punk: "The Bucks should be apologizing to me for me assaulting them, and my best friend throwing a chair at them and biting them; and therefore being suspended for months and having their trios titles taken away from them. It's obvious."

I'd love to know what Punk thinks the Bucks should be apologising for - The Chicago Fire - Telling Steve Bartman "Go on, make that catch" - Ordering St Louis style pizza when it was their turn to get some food in.

I'm from England, and I can totally understand someone being upset that their accent is being mocked, considering issues of classism. I wouldn't say I have a particularly heavy regional accent, but coming from broadly the same sort of rural Appalachian part of the country that FTR does (though on the OH/WV side and not the VA/NC side), I also can completely empathize with the defensiveness over accent jokes. Even in the US, people from the biggest cities can be extraordinarily dismissive and condescending towards anybody from "flyover country", or just automatically assume that everybody shares particularly problematic values based off of that alone. It's a particularly frustrating form of regional stereotyping that's still a sore point for me and I'm going to stop before I go into my own rant. But going back to the topic at hand, there's a part of me that wonders how much of Dax's more recent... developments... have been a side effect of seemingly being one of the only current Punk confidantes still actively wrestling and on TV. Punk is more of a Littlefinger or Starscream than he'd probably be willing to admit, or that he even realizes, and I do wonder how much of this is just Punk being in his ear. Oh my god, this makes too much sense, this is what happens if Starscream had actually managed to take over the Decepticons for more than 5 minutes.
