Punk Scrum Thread II: Punk terminated from AEW

[Moppy]

I mean, if he’s going to share his side of the story I just hope none of his close friends offer him to speak on their popular podcast, lest we find in 5 years that they share a bank account with their mother…

I'm sure whatever Punk says won't be complete bullshit.

Oh he’s so going to sue them, and this thread will live on for years

I hope he doesn't so this can all be moved to Wrest and I never have to think about the guy again.

I actually wonder if Punk will "lose" any more friends who are still with AEW? He's probably been stewing over the fact that Joe got him to wrestle instead of leaving right after the incident. I could definitely see another fallout similar to that of Colt.

I remember he chastised Edge and Jericho for watching hockey before a match at some point

To be fair, Punk wasn't a hockey fan yet, so once he decided that he loved hockey, it was okay for him to do the same.

I love CM Punk, but I will lose all respect for him if he goes back to WWE.

THAT is what would cause you to lose respect for him!? 🤣

Seinfeld: I think the worst part about Punk's behavior would be the hypocrisy.
Norm: I don't think that would be the worst part.

f*** this wannabe tough guy and bully.

you know what gets me with the Punk thing?back in the all out scrum Punk said if anyone had a problem with him come talk to him. and with Jack instead of just talking to him he felt the need to allegedly aggressively ask Jack what his problem was, shove him and then choke him.

Same thing with the scrum. The Elite went to his locker room and brought a member of the legal team with them in case something went down. Instead of talking about it like he said he was open to, a fight broke out instead.

[Kalmia]

So Punk had a fight with another wrestler and approached the boss in a way that made the boss fear for himself and others around them, and Punk might try and fight it? Sure. Why not? I hope Punk saved his money well because I'm sure that AEW has bottomless pockets where lawyers are concerned.

I give it 2 months before he shows up on raw with the X AEW title and puts it in the trash hurting the company more and making WWE millions.

This is what you wanted though, oh, wait you get shitty Colt Cabana on TV again.

This will likely also cost them FTR. AEW just can't stop winning eh?

The way you engage with this company is really concerning. it's not healthy to be this doomposter invested in something. I really hope you can take a step back at some point or maybe find something that doesn't seem so misery inducing as AEW does.

Doesn't matter at this point. I have to accept I cannot escape the things I hate.

Check NFK to do pre-season football? Nope WWE licensed belts

Watch sports on ESPN? Nope WWE all over the place

f*** when I played Fortnite with my young nephew, you guessed it WWE skins

It has permeated everything.


I don't use Twitter, I barely use this forum because most people have blocked me yet it's going to be f***ing front-page news when Punk faces Roman at WM and every single solitary person takes a victory lap around AEW.

Was I so wrong that I wanted someone else besides Vince and friends to win, f***ing once? Just once.

No, instead I get backstage bullshit over and over and over because I can't have nice things ever.

As for doomposting; Punks gone. This thread logically should be locked but nope, It's gonna whiz past 1000+ all so people can continue to kick AEW while it's down.

It might be a good time to start dispatching the fire department towards some bridges that might be torched.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the fans, but rather everyone within WWE. I can't imagine many of the talent would give him a warm welcome.

Reigns, Rollins and AJ Styles have gone on record for disliking Punk.

Plus there's a lot of guys like Balor and Zayn and Owens who are very close friends with the Bucks, I'm sure they wouldn't be thrilled at the idea of the guy who belittled and then physically assaulted them joining the company. There are strong rumours Cody doesn't like Punk either.

It's basically a situation where across both major companies something like 80 or 90% of top guys don't like him or would be wary of dealing with him.

And there's his previous beef with the higher-ups. Problem is, Punk isn't one to let grudges go, and if AEW is any indication, things could go south very quickly if things aren't to Punk's liking, or if he feels he's being disrespected.

But people are actually happy with AEW now for finally doing the right thing?

I wish you well and hope you're able to find some enjoyment in the product again, though. Last night's Collision was honestly a breath of fresh air and if anything things are starting to steer in the right direction IMO.

Punk was absolutely insufferable on TV for the past two months, AEW is a better place with him gone and people are happy about that.

[Soultastic]

Can't wait for Punk's response. I'm not gonna bother reading or hearing it, but we need to get to a 1000 baby let's goooo.

Yeah, if anyone's getting kicked while they're down it's CM Punk.

[canceled4truth]

In my mind Punk did the Go To Sleep taunt at Tony and started slapping his knee and TK, the avid gamer he is, knew he was about to eat a Charged Finisher

Do you serious think there's a chance in hell Punk goes to WWE?...... Punk will never wrestle again for a major company after this. Never.

Sports Illustrated: Punk was a major selling point with Warner Bros. Discovery for the new Collision show on TNT, but his firing did not come as a shock to WBD CEO/president David Zaslav, who, Sports Illustrated learned, was informed of the decision ahead of the company’s press release.
