The worst part about this is that another Punk incident has become the main discussion point about another good AEW ppv. Nah, I'm not going to believe the "hey guys Punk is so cool and awesome and wasn't in any of the wrong" takes nor am I believing the "Jack wasn't in the wrong" takes either. At the end of the day this keeps happening with Punk so they need to do something about it. Tony should have fired his ass but he's as big of a Punk fanboy as his extremist fans are trying to be like "well Punk is ok now guys" here knowing Punk did all that shit and he shouldn't be in the company now. Both these dudes are doing shit they shouldn't be doing. Jack doesn't have a history of it but Punk does.

This is stupid.

think there’s a lot to be said about what it does to your locker room seeing one guy get away with shit or doing whatever and the next big star in line thinking “eh f*** it I’ll do the same thing”

you have to nip these things in the bud at some point

Again, this is all on Tony Khan. Why do you never hear this shit in WWE? Because Vince or HHH wouldn’t stand for a second of it. Tony Khan lets people walk all over him so much I wouldn’t be surprised if he was related to Tony Atlas.

I would say Vince would never let talent bitch him out like this, but he did to a degree with Shawn Michaels in the 90's.

i don't want to play this card, but wouldn't losing Bray this week set things into perspective to avoid this petty shit? Shame on everyone

No conversation in pro wrestling makes me roll my eyes harder than discussions about who could legitimately beat who. Who the f*** cares? Whether someone has never had a legit fight in their life or has won 1,000 makes no difference - they all make a living out of pro wrestling.

Okay but who would win if they both had hammers.

Hmmmm. Whilst you rarely see this sort of thing spilling over into the product, you really don’t need to dig very deep for a big list of crazy stuff that has gone down behind the scenes under the control of Vince and even HHH. Some of it ten times worse than the Punk drama.

Punk is the most exhausting man in wrestling if not all of TV. The biggest show in company history and a lot of people are going to be focusing on his antics again rather than the wrestling.

Surely there has to be a breaking point soon, right? It's been a year now of brawls, insider shooty comments, negative press, getting people kicked out of arenas, etc. This current set-up doesn't seem sustainable with him controlling who can and can't enter his arenas on Saturdays (including the head of talent relations!) then the awkwardness of the PPVs with him and his enemies having to be kept in separate parts of the building because everyone is afraid everything will blow up again.

Every time I hear another story about Punk, I just picture a title card reading “Meanwhile……” and Miz just having a nice quiet day with his family, playing in the yard with his daughters, and he briefly thinks to himself “You know, maybe I should invite Phil and April over some night for a nice dinner, maybe exchange baby pictures.”

The he shrugs it off because Phil is probably busy and this is the only time he ever thinks about him.

Then cut to Kenny backstage, playing a game online with Creed and some other guys, there’s some shouting in the background, Creed says “What’s that over there, Ken?”
And Omega just sighs deeply.

You really wanna roll out the "This would never happen in the upstanding moral compass that is WWE" in the AEW threads huh? Despite all the evidence to the contrary of ESPECIALLY Vince allowing backstage fights and shit like Wrestler's Court, for decades?

With all due respect, this isn't the first time you've come into this board with a blatantly antagonistic baity post like this, this gimmick is beyond stale.

Both companies can be trash at handling things in their own ways. Vince is a rapist, TK lets his roster walk all over him and treats people like his action figures to smash together, both seem to actively go out of their way to push credibly abused criminals. Both dudes suck.

My dude there's literally a Dark Side of the Ring episode about one of the numerous backstage WWE shenanigans.

And no one is saying that stuff happening in AEW doesn't suck, but saying "You'd NEVER see this in WWE" is outright laughable, this thread doesn't need anymore than it already has tbh

Miz won the feud with Punk, and all he did was just ignore Punk and live his best life.
