Punk Scrum Thread II: Punk terminated from AEW

I think  I have the solution to all this drama. Just the thing to unite this divided roster:

COOKIE CAKE

It’s half cookie. It’s half cake. It’s all fun.

That’s something that really sucks about all of this. Punk may have cost himself a near 20-year friendship because of his actions.

......wouldn't be the first time......

I sure hope so, because if it isn't, Punk has completely lost his goddamn mind by picking a fight with a grizzly bear

Hey now...He also bought Joey Mercury a house so he wouldn't be homeless (then he likely banned him from it)

Speaking with Dave LaGreca on Busted Open, Mark Henry and LeGreca discussed the bad publicity AEW was getting coming out of AEW All In due to the reported confrontation between Punk and Perry. LeGreca noted that you don't want to let the bad publicity take away from the historic show. Henry then described how maturity comes with experience and, sometimes, a kick in the behind.

"Maturity comes with experience. Look what we’re talking about. We’re talking about a company that’s still young. My wife told me yesterday, she said, ‘Our kids are awesome, but they’re still kids, and they’re immature. They need grace and guidance and a kick in the ass every now and then.’ I’ve given them grace. Tony’s given them grace. He’s given them guidance. When is the kick in the ass coming? Sometimes, you need it. I had it. Didn’t want it. Didn’t like it. I don’t know if it can be explained any better. Sometimes, you need forgiveness. You always need forgiveness, and you also need a second chance. You need grace. But ultimately, Dave, when you make mistakes, there has to be consequences for your mistakes. Otherwise, you’re gonna do it again because there’s no consequences," Henry said.

LaGreca noted that, as a leader, people will take advantage of you if you're soft. He stated that leaders have to be strong, and they need to know when it's necessary to take things to the next level. Henry emphasized that, sometimes, it's important to make a business decision to get everyone on the same page.

“They’ll manipulate you. You’re thinking, ‘You know what, I get along with this person. They co-sign for my philosophies, and my ideals, and they say, ‘Hey, man, I’m always here for you. Listen, whatever you need, brother, I’m here.’ Then they do all of that, and then they try to turn you against everybody else. That’s manipulation. Sometimes, you gotta be able to say, ‘You know what? This is a business decision. I love you like a brother, but I can’t co-sign for that, and this is what we’re gonna do from here on out.’ Once everybody is in alignment, and you know that, wow, even the number one friend can get disciplined, it’s an awesome thing. Then everybody can run with the understanding that we’re working for the company, we’re working for the business," Henry said.

When LaGreca highlighted AEW's impressive growth, Henry drew a comparison between Tony Khan and Vince McMahon, given their positions with their respective companies. The veteran also made it clear that WWE and AEW can't truly be compared, as WWE had a head start, but AEW's success is evident.

"He’s done stuff that nobody’s ever done. I think the only person that probably has faced what Tony is facing is Vince. They may be the only two conglomerates, like big, big business that have faced those issues. Vince got a 50-something year jump. So you can’t compare the trio because there were things that were ironed out already before Vince Jr. took it. Tony had to eat all of those mistakes. He’s gotta make all of those decisions on the fly, and he’s succeeding. Look at what he’s doing," Henry said.

Henry did not explicitly name Punk or Perry. Likewise, he did not specifically bring up the report that the two men have been suspended following the confrontation.

Only in wrestling would some people see “did something I don’t like so time to get physical again” as ‘leadership.’

Lort 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

The Rock called Punk a "cookie puss" during their feud so that might not be the best course of action... They can go for some deep dish pizza, though, considering that they're in Chicago.

I genuinely don't even know what happening anymore, i don't know what reports are real or what reports are fake, i'm losing count of how many people Punk has beef with in AEW at this point, this has all been one giant mess





Listen, i understand Punk is a big star for AEW, but this dude has sent people home and holds grudges to anyone who just breathes a way he doesn't like, and to the point he angrily confronted the owner of the company, it's not worth it

Please, please, please have it turn out the glass was gimmicked all along, just to really put this farce over the top.

.....I think he's talking about Tony Khan needing to exert some leadership and put his foot down instead of trying to be everyone's friend.....

Earlier today on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez shared what he has heard about what went down between Punk and Perry and noted that AEW President Tony Khan was in the Gorilla position area when things broke down. Haus of Wrestling has been able to independently confirm that, as well. The action apparently got close to enough to Khan that monitors were knocked down onto him.

Alvarez stated that Khan saw the whole thing play out, but Haus of Wrestling is told that Khan may not have seen the actual altercation take place, which is possibly why there is an internal investigation into what happened. It is worth mentioning that Alvarez describes what went down as happening very quickly, with Samoa Joe and others in the area swiftly breaking things up.

Alvarez went on to say that Punk said he wanted to quit the company, which is in line with our initial reporting that his future with AEW and pro wrestling is questionable. PWTorch has also reported that Punk threatened to quit immediately following the altercation and “chewed out” Khan with harsh comments. Haus of Wrestling has heard Punk said he felt like he was working at a zoo, but there are other interpretations of exactly what was exchanged.
