Well the Elite won the war vs Punk. Good on them because I didn’t think they would but I was dead wrong. Now all the locker room drama is surely to end now that the only person deserved of blame is gone. Right? The Elite has literally avoided Punk in every way, the only war was on Phils head. |

This guy has dated/been with Maria Kanellis and Mickie James. Possibly at the same time. THIS GUY. There are things in this world that I don't understand. Wars. Inequality. Injustice. ...and this picture. Well like most Narcissists he is very charismatic, that is not deniable |

One thing that really sucks about this run is just how freaking embarrassing this is, like the second hand embarrassment watching a dude's creative juices run out onscreen, going from brilliant work with MJF to complete rambling messes in every feud past it. His unwillingness to turn heel, his unwillingness to do the bare minimum to get crowds back on his side, him trotting out old plot points like "I'm the real champion with my own belt" that he'd already trotted out in AEW prior, and when that didn't get him the attention and adulation he wanted, he relied instead on immature rage and petty grudges. It just makes me sad to see a dude end up this way like entirely on his own, in a place where they gave him silver platter after silver platter. Like going from the feel good vibes of his return and ending up just pitying this sad, angry man is just blech. Even more so when you used to look up to the man as a huge fan of his. That feeling of betrayal hits deep. |

I'm really curious what in like 20 years' time is going be younger fans' perception of Punk. With him effectively being unpersoned from both major companies and burning out as spectacularly as he did he's probably entirely going to exist as a punchline. It's interesting. He's likely to be a footnote that they become aware of via checking out Cena or MJF's careers. He might have an online/historian reputation of paving the way for other wrestlers but even then it'll be more he walked so Danielson or whoever else could run. Or he'll be like Cornette ranting away to his remaining diehard fans on whatever platforms exist then. |

To be young and naive… All the drama should cease from here on out! Go troll somewhere else. Not trolling. I was repeatedly told throughout this ordeal Punk is the only one to blame. I’m not allowed to express my opinions? If everyone else is/was right then all drama and unhappiness should cease. |

if there is anything I’ve learned from this whole saga it is that this board has a clear divide between younger people and those over 50 because the arguments always come down to that and then you go into off topic and it is even more obvious

100% of the people who have physically assaulted a co-worker in 2023 in AEW are now fired, so yes, I'd say things should be shaping up to be a lot better.

Also no one's ever accused him of causing all the problems, but by god, he was the biggest one. |

Meltzer today said that saying Punk “lunged” at TK was “toning it down.” Jeez, that makes it sound like Punk was even more out of control than we thought. And there’s security camera footage of the whole thing as well. And far be it from me to belabor a point, Khan and Perry are the individuals that we know of who were in Punk’s crosshairs. I’m morbidly curious to see the video. It sounds fairly damning. That and if you need Joe to get involved to get Punk to at least settle down a bit, it’s bad. |

Okay, so, now that he's gone, and I'm less concerned about the thread getting shut down, I'm gonna say my slightly unhinged, no-real-proof-to-back-it-up conspiracy theory about Brawl Out that I alluded to like, 100 pages ago.
So, remember how Hangman wasn't backstage at All Out when the scrum happened? Remember why that was? It's because he went out drinking... with FTR.
We know that Punk had the scrum rant pre-planned, because of him saying "you ruined my spot" when Hausman said he wasn't really friends with Colt Cabana. We know Punk felt threatened by Hangman, because he said as much in his ESPN interview. And while we don't know for sure, it doesn't seem like a big leap to say that Punk probably made his various displeasures known to FTR.
So, my theory is, either Punk directly told FTR to get Hangman out of the building so he could do his rant, or FTR decided to do it on their own to keep Hangman away from an already upset Punk.

As full Cornette as you can go without being a bigot, anyway. |

Now all the locker room drama is surely to end now that the only person deserved of blame is gone. Right? The Elite has literally avoided Punk in every way, the only war was on Phils head. The Elite handled the situation professionally. Not just by bringing a legal representative when they went to Punk's locker room, but also by largely avoiding association with him. Why feed the fires when AEW already had enough problems on their plate? And I don't think for a second Punk was the only problem. AEW had a plethora of them, but Punk was the biggest of them. |
