Punk Scrum Thread II: Punk terminated from AEW

[King Devitt: What Plants Crave]

Okay caught up. My one takeaway is I'm glad we have our lord and dirtsheet savior WrestlePete.
I know where to turn if I want the REAL news.

I recommend reading Punk defenses in the voice of Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Even better, read them in the voice of Oglethorpe.

TK is also bias toward the Pillars, again lets go back to the Sammy/Andrade saga, remember when Sammy main evented Dynamite after he had the altercation with Andrade?

In that particular case, didn't Andrade pick a fight with Sammy on purpose to try to get sent home?

From the reports, Andrade waited for Guevara to turn up to the arena and once Sammy showed up, Andrade assaulted him. Apparently he did it to get fired.

Punk must be the most exhausting human being imaginable to be around and try to manage.

Well more than that apparently people with AEW flat out told him that fighting Sammy would get him suspended not fired so don't even waste his time.

Of course, the person who probably gets indirectly hurt from this is Ricky Starks as they were clearly building to a strap match vs Punk for All Out

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.

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.

Not a gimmick. Stop. This contributes to problems here.

[polarbearpete]

Also, the rumors from the Meltzer boards (and apparently something VOW said this week)are that there was never really a plan for MJF/Punk at All Out as MJF nixed doing an angle with him and Punk was kind of doing all of the real world champion stuff on his own.

[ace]

People can say they doubt punks story because he is always at the center of all the problems

I doubt it because it doesn't make sense from Perry's perspective. You call him out on the show to provoke a response. You don't then go backstage and start the altercation that you're hoping to provoke...it undoes the entire purpose.

[ChitownKnight]

Yeah I can’t defend Punk anymore. He’s causing way too many problems and they ain’t even turning him heel. Also wtf is the point of the real world champion shit if he’s not even gonna face MJF lol

If Punk did turn heel, then calling himself the Real Worlds Champion would have a point, especially if he refuses to face MJF. But it looks like he is going to still be the worst babyface in professional wrestling going forward.

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.

There is no breaking point when the owner is so whipped he's on a first name basis with girls at Dominatrix clubs.

Rhea Ripley to AEW confirmed.

Damn I just realized that Punk is the real life Roman Reigns tribal chief character. Piefacing people, having his minions in the Revival, having the boss by the balls and doing what he pleases lmao

 Brilliant lol

Best way to deal with this douchebag and just not give him the time of day. I realise not everyone in AEW has the ability to do so however those who can, go for it

It genuinely feels like most everyone is content to just ignore Punk and let him continue to cause issues until he finally forces TK’s hand.

And so far, that approach seems to be working.

Punk going full Harry and Megan, managing to exhaust the public’s good will in record time

The way Punk made the real world title and tried to cheeky get himself being talked about when he was spotted watching MJF on the tunnel makes me thing he was trying to force his way into a title feud by making the fans expect like ,like he did with the Elite. Dude really can't take no for a an answer.
