Konnan's so untrustworthy that even parts of the story that have been consistent across every telling of it feel like they may not have happened now.

I just find it weird how apparently Konnan's decided this is what cemented CM Punk as a big name. It's not even the highest-profile flameout he's had from a wrestling company.

Given Konnan's questionable history with truth telling, I kind of want other famous BS artists in wrestling to offer their own input on this; the further they are away from AEW the better. Gagne: Tony asked me, "What can I do to bring this whole thing to the next level?" I told him you gotta bring this Punk in. I said if he shows up, you'll make millions. Just make sure you don't give the guy muffins cause that'll set him off. Of course Tony never honored the consulting deal we set up, and didn't listen to me about the muffins, and we all saw what happened.

I will have better luck using a time machine to convince Shawn to job to Davey Boy in England than Tony will have to convince Punk to job to Omega.

Like, I would think Punk leaving WWE would be more notable as that was years of bullshit leading to one of the biggest stars in the company leaving millions of dollars on the table. Even if you believe Konnan's story (which nobody should), Punk acted like a diva and got pissy when he got overshadowed by younger talent.

Out of 100 times, Konnan lies in 99 in them and in the 100th he is exaggerating what happened.

I have posted about it literally twice(well 3 times now). I would assume its the same for a lot of people.I would bet people are just overall tired of treads being closed because one or two person didnt like it and the CM Punk thread is just the peak of it. Also its easy to say "just do another fun lighted thread" but all of you know it doesnt work like that, some type of fun just happens organically, you cant just make "the general thread look strong" .Especially when a lot of news about the scrum are still going. Being passive aggressive when people bring a love 600+ page thread also isnt helpful at all to the situation(not singling you out, went to read AskAMod, there was a few occasions). Just makes the people more mad and it becomes a cycle of pettiness and madness. Its locked and eventually it will run out of peoples system That's not my fault. I'm not the one in the other threads taking shit way too seriously. Why can't you guys have fun all over the board like you did in that thread? I understand some things happen organically, but what's stopping you? This is what I don't understand. You're putting it on us to open a thread that went nearly 700 PAGES to have fun, when no one is putting that restriction on you. We're actually advocating for the opposite! Be silly! Tell jokes! Have fun! In fairness to the mods, I don't see why the same fun can't be had over multiple threads instead of having 100 pages worth of filler and retelling the same jokes. I mean I get FAN does that a lot but still, can still make the same jokes on diff topics. I mean I stopped really paying attention to the thread in the 300s but that's my 2 cents

In regards to a Punk/Omega match, it could and should do well but you'd open the door for it to be more "shoot" than anything as far as the feud/promos go

Here's webcam footage of Konnan as he told this story:

Seems a bit weird to need a specific thread to tell jokes that could be told in any thread related to the subject. Why does it matter *where* you type?
I'm sorry for snapping; I'm old, tired, hurt....

I like that in all versions of the story the only element that seems to remain consistent is that Kenny's MO was protecting the dog.

He literally used his dog as a sympathy shield and said the Elite knocked his teeth out Like I haven't trashed Punk as much as others have but whoever thought that was a good idea, whether it was Punk, his team, or both, good lord guys, that was f***ing stupid lol

Konnan is an odd man. He has numerous things he consistently is credited with accurately, like that he got WCW's luchadors booked and that guys like Rey benefited immensely from that. He also I think is pretty indisputably who taught Bret the Scorpion Hold (the Sharpshooter). Like, he doesn't need to bullshit for credbility, he just wants to, I guess?

Cracks me up how the overall sentiment here and elsewhere is basically to job him out and release him... Man what a year can do... I believe you mean "man what a five minute muffin scrum can do"
