Ignoring the speaking out stuff, is Punk the first official firing? From AEW? If you don't count not letting contracts expire without renewal, I think so. That's what I'm thinking. Obviously some firings from #speakingout but I'm pretty sure this is their first firing. Usually they quietly let the contracts expire

I'd open Collision with a triple threat match between Christopher Daniels, Ryan Nemeth, and Matt Hardy
I'd also have Colt Cabana on commentary

I sincerely wonder if Punk has a touch of mental illness or clinical depression? That's what keeping me from celebrating and saying "you deserve it." Guy objectively has the life. Fame, Beautiful Wife, money etc. But he always finds himself in trouble and thinks he's above everyone and everything. Probably but most everything and anyone deals with something. This dude is in a position in life where he could tackle his issues in a copious amount of ways, but seemingly doesn’t. And if you believe those podcasters Chazraps has posted before, doesn’t seem like guy buys into therapy or whatever. My take exactly. It's blindingly obvious Punk has some very serious mental health issues. But like... That's not an excuse for treating other people like garbage. I have mental health issues too but that never gets in the way of me treating people how they deserve. And when you factor in how obvious his issues are coupled with a seeming refusal on his part to do anything about it, that's where my sympathies end. Phil Brooks needs to get as far away from wrestling as he can because it clearly brings out the absolute worst in him, and hopefully he takes this as a wake-up call to get the help he needs.

I feel like there are gonna be some wrestlers who are sad their buddy/meal ticket is fired after he finally went too far, and then another group that are like "Oh my god, I can finally stop pretending I loved this dude and his ideas"

Rewatching this cuz Moxley summed up the dude entirely last year with that promo Not sure how, but I never saw this promo. Not sure if the alcoholic is the one who should be calling out someone mental weaknesses, but go off, King. This promo was cut months after Mox had finished his rehab. Rehab that he himself voluntarily entered for the sake of himself and his family.

When you are never getting that vacation: I know we all joke about Mox not getting his vacay, but Mox deserves the upmost respect for how he goes about his job. Universally respected across the roster. The man is the f***ing ace of AEW no doubt. Nick Jackson's recent words on Mox are well worth reading. Sums the man up perfectly.

Funny how an "unserious" post could be one of the last ones you make on this board because holy shit dude, have any sense of awareness.

It’s definitely the best decision for both parties but it really should have happened directly after the first backstage incident. It’s crazy they allowed this nonsense to continue for so long to the point where it almost derailed their biggest ever show.
Long term I hope Punk finds something that brings him happiness or peace.

The best thing for everybody. I think it’d be a lie to say Punk didn’t have good matches and moments in AEW but it wasn’t going to work.
I think a few folks could learn lessons:
Tony Khan probably could be better at managing egos. Punk needs to check his ego and anger at the door.
I still think Punk has stuff to offer the business from a creative standpoint if he can get his shit straight. Big if, but yeah.

i did not expect a new contender for worst post to show up after we dealt with that 60 year old guy but here we are
i hope they don't actually believe that or have anyone close to them that has had to deal with how horrible alcoholism is

Oh I love that dude, I think we all love this dude The fact someone tried to make a joke about his alcoholism and got absolutely shut down by multiple people already proves that

The biggest winner out of all this is Edge, who just guaranteed himself another 7-figure year if he wants.
