This is funnier to me to because I know exactly what figure he's talking about and it's such a Punk thing to bring up. The figure sucks, I have no idea why the decided for it to be a Walmart exclusive. I don't know why they thought people would buy this rather than a ring attire version of Hangman. Thats not Hangman, thats will ferrell

I just wanna throw it out there that MMA training or not, I believe in my heart of hearts that Hangman would absolutely starch Punk so hard it'd knock his tattoos off. I think most of this board would, tbh. We've seen that Punk in an actual fight, despite so much training, lacks an unbelievable level of inability to grasp even the slightest of fundamentals. Even sight unseen, I'm taking the person I've never seen fight vs the person I have, twice.

Im pretty sure the Walmart exclusive actually had a different shirt with a cactus on it lol. Still, all the Walmarts here are loaded with them. Yeah, I might have the wrong shirt here, but I have to take my grandmom to Walmart every 2 weeks so she can do her grocery shopping so I just kinda roam the store for an hour. They have so many of them, I don't think a single one of them has been bought in months.

... Wait a sec is that "I told House of Black not to chop me" shit also about Hangman f***ing HOLD UP let's go back on that wait wait wait hold on a second Yeah, that comment has got me thinking, and coming to a realization: Punk comes across as the kind of guy who absolutley CANNOT let someone get one up on him, or make it known that someone "got to him". Before the Brawl Out, he had that one promo where he stopped everything just to yell at one dude who was chanting "Colt Cabana". And I saw someone online point out that he did the exact same thing back in ROH when one person wasn't cheering him. He tries to play the white meat babyface, but the moment he hears the crowd is more than 50% against him, he immediately goes into smug mode and tries to annoy the crowd (See: Forbidden Door). He sees pro-Hangman signs in the audience, so he HAS to call them out and take shots at Hangman, because he can't let the fans think he's just gonna take that "insult". Yet, in that same promo, he directly makes a reference to his Sports Illustrated interview that people were making jokes about him over, because if HE makes jokes about it, THEY can't use it against him. I might just be letting my own biases get in the way, but Punk just comes across like a guy who needs to be on top in EVERY social situation.

I need to post about 20 times in an hour to comprehend and process each Punk shenanigan as many of you are aware, I apologize, but really honestly:
-Punk elected not to apologize for anything and got his own show for it -He has been doing fine on his own show and wrestling 30 min every other week or so and not exploding all his prior injuries -In spite of not apologizing for the whole [All Out 2022 Incidents] or having any remorse and not being punished at all, his goodwill steadily was rising week by week, and he did some real cool shit like supporting LGBTQ fan signs and the trans shirt and tonight's SAG AFTRA shirt (I MUST ADD THAT IN SPITE OF IT ALL I DON'T WANNA SWEEP THIS COOL STUFF UNDER THE RUG, SUPPORTING THE TREVOR PROEJCT IN 2023 IS GOOD SHIT and earns Chiral Points™ 🏳️⚧️) and while he's had mixed crowd reactions, with some loving him and some hating him, but I feel like opinions were swaying his way especially with the Elite re-signing -After ALL THAT....he STILL was like "OH MY GOD CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS F***ING IDIOT HANGMAN PAGE" like that is STILL, STILL™!!! where his mind is at. Is this man's mind 90% rage in a cage about Hangman Page?

Oh I get it, because College Football is approaching and WWE PLE already hurt Collision ratings that Punk would agree to even do the job to the Elite....

Punk allegedly got his ass whipped by Teddy Hart when they were both in TNA, I have zero doubt Hangman would trounce him. Got what a thin-skinned little asshole he is. I was growing to tolerate his presence again too given the Trevor Project shirt, but now he’s firmly back in the “f*** off” zone.

So what proportions of conversation right now are going on about the show versus Punk's post-show comments?
Way to go, Phil. You have managed to make people more interested in some petty remarks than your main event match and angle.

I sometimes wonder if TK is smarter than we give him credit for, because giving Punk his own show but having it be in the Saturday night death slot is some real monkey paw shit

Punk is about to turn 45 and doesn't exactly have the best record in shoot fights. Meanwhile, Hanger's in peak physical shape and got a good 13 years younger on Punk.
Unless Hangman is as bad a fighter as Punk, I think he'd whoop that ass in a real fight.

It's not even a peg warmer, because they don't bother putting them on pegs they just stick them on the shelf. You'd figure that Wal Mart could work a better deal to get something that would move as an exclusive. Target's gotten some incredible exclusive WWE figures in the past, you'd think Wal Mart would be able to do the same when it comes to AEW.

Forget Zucc vs Elon, I want Hangman vs Punk in a shootfight at some reservation casino.
I'd pay 59.95 for that. 69.95 for 4k.

Find someone who obsesses about you the same way Punk obsesses over Hangman.
On second thought, don't because you'll probably need to file a restraining order on them eventually.

I keep trying to tell myself that I won't let a person I don't know annoy me so much, especially since wrestlers by their nature are attention whores and the best way to hurt them is to ignore them.
That all being said: on what planet does Punk get this ego?
-He's had ONE hot feud since arriving in AEW, and that was against MJF who could have had a hot feud with anyone at that time.
-Has he ever defended the AEW title any of the times since he won it? I remember he shattered his foot trying to be a smartass and do the Buckshot.
-Collision's highest rating is still less than most average Dynamites.
I guess he does sell a lot of merch, but so does Danhausen. Clearly the answer here is to make Collision Collisi-hausen.

You have managed to make people more interested in some petty remarks than your main event match and angle. Well for the people who are on Twitter or socials or saw the post match comments anyway. If he'd done this on TV it'd be a million times worse But I do agree it isn't really worthwhile to do it when in a post show thing where guys can shoot from the hip or go off cuff, it's not gonna get the reaction you want when nothing is gonna happen.

So some time ago I made a half-jokey post along the lines of
Tony Khan to Cm Punk: "Please continue to keep quiet until I can get The Elite to re-sign. After that do and say whatever you want, I just need them to not go to WWE at all costs."
And I wondered how long it would take post-re-signing for Punk to start to blow smoke on the smoldering embers of his neverending pissy bullshit.
And now we know. About 10 days (since it was announced live at least).

I could see one of the Jackson bros making the contractual demand that Punk will always make less than they do. Like a favored nations clause from hell.

I don't really agree with any of this regardless but anyways no that's not how he shattered his foot. He shattered it by jumping into the crowd on Dynamite.
