Good for the Chicago fans. If there had been tons of "CM Punk" chants on Wednesday as well as a lot of returned tickets asking for refunds for All Out I'm not sure he would have held his nerve and he'd have gone cap in hand to Poor Persecuted Phil. (Might call him Triple P from now on). He still might but that he has worked out a "satisfying alternative" is encouraging.

It would be amusing if Collision did better ratings the month CM Punk was suspended.

I feel like Punk might be starting to wander into that same zone as like first run Ronda Rousey. Doing well, getting reactions, moving some merch, but not pulling in viewers to make a note of watching, not pulling in people who might not otherwise tune in to come witness this one specific star bigger than everything else. Ronda was successful within WWE but never actually transcended it as a draw like they wanted her to. Punk feels like he's in that same zone now; moving merch, people are tuning in, people are reacting in the ways they're reacting, but he's not elevating the promotion or pushing special performance out of Collision. The idea he's this god of Chicago hasn't made the tickets magically sell even on the obvious assumption that yeah of course there'll be a big CM Punk match (up until he got suspended).
And that's a problem given his behavior and how much dignity AEW is giving up to keep him around.

I started wavering on the Punk train, to be very specific, in the press conference/weigh-in the night before his first UFC fight where he did nothing but big leaguing childish wrestling shit. When you make yourself look that embarrassingly immature in a UFC environment of all places, it's bad. It solidified every criticism of him "taking a spot" in UFC as completely spot-on and valid. But we all have off days. The point of no return was not paying for Colt's costs in the lawsuit like he said he would. Once that got out, it was like "Wow, this guy sucks. What a shitty thing to do." And then the more and more pieces that come out about that, like the judge dismissing the initial filing from Colt "with prejudice" meaning he definitely saw something there but needed the lawyers to word it differently, to the reason for the falling out being Punk getting buyers remorse and using Colt getting pizza with Sami, Kevin and PAC as a reason to cut him out and think he "betrayed him," to the absolutely gross bringing Colt's mom into it and trying to make the very real very America "sharing a bank account with your Mom" taking care of your parents consideration seem like a bad thing. Just abhorrent. And I used to absolutely love his work. He just drags everything down around him. I don't know if the present-day Punk fans still adore him as some sort of wish-fulfillment or a nostalgia for where they were in their lives when he was on top, or just a level of blinders where they can just take when they see of the guy that airs on television and then project that into the only way they perceive how he is in his everyday life - but I think everyone will eventually either hit their limit on Punk or just full-on identify as a bigger fan of Punk himself than the medium of wrestling itself. What do you mean by the dismissed with prejudice part? I thought Colt and Punk settled, so any settlement would be conditioned on the case being dismissed with prejudice (which means you can’t bring the case again). That was the time before the time they settled, the very first time Colt took legal action against Punk before a judge in 2018.

Part of me thinks this investigation is just lawyers going over Punk's contract to see if any of his bullshit has voided any Golden Parachutes that he has written in.

this is all gonna loop back around to the excuse being jack perry hates straightedge people and is a huge fan of crack, i promise Maybe not crack, but I think you’re on the right track given what we know about Perry’s addictions.

How much you wanna bet that CM Punk is gonna pull a Hogan and be all "see the ratings fell when I wasn't around.." trying to spin it?
