Thunder Rosa? LAX? He had solid info on them and that’s just off the top of my head. But sure, he hasn’t. You’re right. The minute detail he flubs on changes the whole thing.

I mean, yes. That is how describing a story works.

If arena security was involved, we wouldn’t hear about it because it was dealt in house. If the police were involved, we would know way more about it than we do because it’d be a public matter. That isn’t a flub, that’s the entire basis.

If the fuzz was called, a police report would have been filed and be on the public record. That doesn't happen with arena yellow shirts.

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.

Well you know brother, the story goes that little, itty, bitty CM Punk was upset that they fired his friend and said on live pay per view that he was tired of working with children brother. And then Hangman Adam Cole called him out on Twitter about workers rights dude. Then Punk and The Elite got into a brawl backstage because they kicked a door in Punks dogs face. He had to be euthanised shortly afterwards jack. Punk ate some muffins since they were his dogs favourite food brother. Then they fired The Elite.

Just reading Konnan’s account and it’s literally what someone that has been following the story on this board could have said. He breaks no new information, bar the Bucks were supposed to sit at the table with Jericho, which adds nothing to the story really. He also omits the AEW legal going to Punk’s locker room and doesn’t know if it’s security or cops. Combine that with Konnan being notoriously full of shit a lot of the time and it’s hard to take his take on this seriously.

Just as an aside Konnan and Vampiro probably hated each other in 90s Mexico because they were both trying to out lie the other one. lol

I don't even know why the Bucks and Jericho would've been there at the same time? They weren't in a position to feud or anything because at that juncture nothing had actually been resolved yet in regards to the Jericho / Bryan / Garcia drama.

The JAS and the Elite weren't even in each other's orbits at the time. So that's a weird (and likely bullshit) detail.

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.

I dunno, I would consider Muffin gate and the ensuing altercations that happened right afterward to to be a bigger debacle than his exit from WWE

[tirtefaa]

What's his next project? Punk has failed at most everything apart from wrestling, and even there, his attitude has contributed to a hostile work environment.

I guess he can go back to being a commentator, since he's not bad at that, but even then his name only goes so far outside of pro wrestling circles.

When CM Punk got fired by WWE, he basically became a martyr of the WWE corporate machine with his "punk" image intact. Now? He's completely destroyed that anti-establishment image and looks like a hypocritical jackass to all but his most ardent fans as well as the most deluded Elite haters/Cornette stans. He basically proved the rumors about him being the "Triple H of ROH" true with one muffin-fueled crazed rant.

[Final Countdown Jones]

It must be so tiring to look at words in the way they're used and understand the meaning behind them. We should just listen to Konnan who is very trustworthy outside of all the times he's not and who isn't consistent even on the things he's said to be good about knowing things about.

So Punk just posted some photos of his time in wwe on his Instagram story. I honestly think he’s trolling but who knows

Would not be shocked either if that was the case but who knows. At this point if it isn't a work (or turned into one) I buy that Punk may just head back to WWE. If nothing else this run did remind WWE that he is still a valuable name to make money off of and Punk if he does goes back is bounded to get a Wrestlemania main event-that seems like something he make sure he have in writing. Whether or not something like the media scrum happens again is another debate but I also feel WWE won't let Punk get that brazen like he did with Tony and I think Punk is smart enough to not pull it there like he did with AEW whatever gripes legit or not he has.

I buy HHH taking a chance on Punk or Punk willing to work with HHH the same way I buy a pizza without pepperoni.

Not at all.

I think Triple H would be open to it if he thinks it would help business. He’s seemed to be one to try to get Vince to bury the hatchets he had with past stars, so I would assume until we see otherwise he’ll take that same approach.

It’s Punk playing along that might be the difficult part.

If nothing else they will both be driven be the desire to want to get back at AEW-though at best it will most likely be teeth clench teamwork. Triple H seems like he be willing to put aside his difference but idk if Punk will be the same. I give the chances 50/50 when it comes back to WWE and maybe some of that lingers on the idea Stone Cold could be doing some matches here and there and if rumors are true about Punk catching the bug again(who knows in this mess at this point what is true) Punk knows that is the only place he can go. Regardless I am certainly curious to see what will happen as these next few months may be interesting.

Punk probably trolling on commentary again...

He was talking about Willow Nightingale

I can't believe Punk's willing to trash Elix Skipper on commentary.

Shameful.
