People love making assumptions about Tony and what a "bitch" he is, it's a bit f***ing creepy honestly, it's like people have a legit fetish for it.
Anyway, Punk is a dick, if it was anyone else I'd say it was 1000% a work because the Elite have started to be mentioned regularly on Collision, with Kenny also mentioning seeing them on Collision in his promo on Dynamite 200, plus the Bucks facing off with Bald and Hair. The stuff about Page quitting over it is hilarious though, it's a nothing, childish comment from Punk, I'd be absolutely stunned if Hanger really cared about it.

Thing is, Hangman really should care about it, because if a coworker would call me out in public, unprovoked, I would want my boss to do something, anything to show me that he cares. Sure, wrestling isn't comparable to many or any other business, but why should anybody settle with less? It's not about getting satisfaction, but about getting a feeling for your boss' leadership. Hangman may do whatever he wants to do. But not caring about it personally may bite other roster members in the ass when they get targeted in the future and no rules got established. It's all so dumb and unneccessary from an outsider's perspective.

Might as well tell us "Im just working you guys" See, this is the kind of stuff I'm talking about when I say Punk can't be seen as being "gotten to". As long as he vague-posts some song lyrics on Instagram and goes "LOL I'M WORKING YOU, LOOK HOW HARD I'M WORKING YOU, YOU'RE GETTING WORKED SO BAD", he can say whatever the f*** he wants, and his fans will just just repeat it and call you a mark for calling him out on his BS. Also, just saw this, but YET AGAIN, Punk is only calling someone out when they're not in the building to actually respond.

If this is a worked shoot, it’s tiring Russoesque bullshit you need the Rosetta Stone and a working knowledge of off screen “real life” feuds and relationships that have largely played out offscreen to follow.
If it’s a true shoot, then Punk is a giant piece of shit who wouldn’t be worth the headache and the negative effect on the locker room if he actually “moved the needle” in some appreciable way, much less when he really doesn’t seem to be doing much of anything for the company as a whole.
There’s no way to spin this into a positive. It sucks. It’s absolutely f***ing terrible.

Renee has to interview Page about Punk like when she asked Cena about Ambrose on Talking Smack that one time and hopefully get the same answer.
Renee: "You and CM Punk clearly hate each other..."
Page: "...Wait, what? CM Punk hates Adam Page. Adam Page doesn't care about CM Punk."
This is the most one-sided ever and apparently a random fan with a sign is what set him off this time. He could have 99.9% of the crowd cheering him but he's so thin-skinned that if even one person isn't falling in line he'll go off. Like that one Raw a decade or so ago when he was a babyface and getting mostly cheered but one guy chanted you suck at him and Punk stopped his whole promo to call him a fatty and threaten to beat him up.

Punk uses kayfabe as a way to genuinely bully people. He is a bully and simply gets away with it because he can still draw.

Hangman used to be a school teacher. I'm sure he's used to people with a playground mentality like Punk's so this is probably water off his back. Whenever he hears the level of Punk's insults he probably has flashbacks to parent-teacher conferences.

This tweet isn't about Punk, but when I saw it on my feed I honestly thought it was about Punk:

Bald even said "I believe thats what you call a ‘heel turn" so its more likely a work, besides FTR being the heels vs the Bucks makes more sense than the other way around.
The could even do CMTR vs Bucks and Hangman, while Kenny continues feuding with Take and Callis.

Ugh it's so tiring. And for what? He the center of his own show, has multiple storylines going on and just got choked out, be angry about that, promote things that are actually happening. This. Honestly if this isn't a storyline it'll just become a detriment to the company. Where people will clamor for a match that'll never happen.

It might happen, if only they have Hangman beating Punk for that "World Title" after All Out.

I will always thank Punk for making it real again If anything, he's made it fake again. Punk just got choked out by Joe and should still be angry about Starks beating up a legend. So he gets a mic and talks about...someone who he hasn't interacted with on tv for over a year. That exposes the buisness. Something he gets sand in his vagina about others doing.

We all accept Eddie Kingston having fifty enemies at once, do we not?

I'm imagining a kid coming home from the show to excitedly tell his mum all about it.
Mum: Hey little Jimmy, did you have a nice time?
Jimmy: It was so cool, the angry old guy needed a sit down and then the spooky man sat down too then a scary man jumped out the crowd and choked the old Punk. Then he woke up and started talking about why the cowboy is called "hungman" and pegging and toy sales.
Mum: That's it, no more aew, you're only watching gcw from now on.
Jimmy: Aww but mum he's going to whip the young guy soon, with leather.

He wants to have it both ways, attack people AND make it look like he's working marks.

He already addressed the Starks stuff in a post show segment that was part of the recent AEW Control Center vid(it was also shown on Rampage iirc)

We all accept Eddie Kingston having fifty enemies at once, do we not? I guess, but Eddie's character is literally that he's an unhinged paranoid maniac. And even then I can't think of an example where he just went on a rant on someone he hasn't interacted with for months.
