Jack Perry didn't freaking CHOKE ANYBODY. What triggered the chain of events? Perry knocking on glass and saying "Cry me a river!". "He started it" stops being a valid justification for actions after age 5.

The proverbial body is still hot and there's people out there running conspiracy theories that The Elite were in Tony Khan's ears, telling him to fire Punk while Jack Perry gets no punishment... I have the scoop on this. They dressed up in suits and with fake mustaches and posed as the external legal team that AEW sought advice from.

I’m not sure NWA has the lure to reel in Punk. But if Ace Steel becomes the Pumpkins new bass player, something may be up.

OK for us all to laugh like Bobby Heenan at Hacksaw going to college?
Because I'm doing it no matter what.

Now the big question....tonight on Collision, how do they address this? I assume they will have a taped quick promo from Kahn saying that Brooks is no longer employed by AEW,etc.

Honestly if this makes all of the weird "CM Punk is my saint" people bounce off of AEW I'm all for that it sounds like a nicer place when one petulant manbaby isn't treated like the main character of reality by fans.

I assume they will have a taped quick promo from Kahn saying that Brooks is no longer employed by AEW,etc. TK announcing it via saying "We have caught and compromised to a permanent end, CM Punk's contract" will be an odd choice but novel at least.

Mr. Khan wearing that gaudy Jaguars blazer addresses the Chicago crowd about Wembley Screwjob:
"I didn't screw Punk. Jack Perry didn't screw Punk. Punk screwed Punk!"

Man just thinking about his onscreen stuff since coming back...what a nothing run to implode yourself over. If he kept busting out storylines on the level of the MJF one it'd be harder to debate his worth but after that it feels like his creative juices were just tapped. I keep saying this but I really think TK's spiel about second chances shows his thought process here, flawed as it may be. Others got second chances and bettered themselves and helped the shows, and Punk...see everything he did backstage in this run. And even before that with all the drama he stirred up while he was on the shelf. It's quite the fall from grace for someone who could've easily added so much more to his legacy. Just as baffling is the fact he was given just about everything and he still let it go up in flames.

Punk is the kind of personality that could ONLY exist in the kinder, gentler wrestling of the modern era. It's not an indictment of wrestling's evolution from tough guy sociopaths, just an observation. Even 90's HBK was smart enough to be friends with guys who could fight his battles for him in a pinch. Can you imagine Pepsi Phil pulling this shit in a Mid South locker room? Or in the coked-out insanity that was 80's WWF? Look not to indulge the Badass Destroyer gimmick he's been trying on the sheets for the last year but there has never been any indication Punk could not fight his own battles. Sure, he got f***ing DESTROYED in MMA - but he has actual training (Which is probably half the problem. Phil is now convinced he can 1 v 1 anyone in the locker room thanks to his 90 trillion wasted dollars in the UFC camps) and it's not like the 80s/90s were a high watermark for Legit Shooters in wrestling.

Dude was really handed everything on a silver platter and completely blew it all by acting like a total clown. Pro wrestlers really are a goofy bunch sometimes.

Hopefully Prince Nana can recover Swerve from the casket phantom zone so he can get a bigger push now.

Collision should open with a 45-minute Elite promo where they don’t talk and just laugh uncontrollably as they pour bottles of Pepsi on the ground.
Kenny Omega comes out in Punk's trunks to Cult of Personality while drinking a Coca-Cola.
