This is from Voices of Wrestling ,so the promo was meant to be a work even though it was not planned, and he wants to turn heel(which what a lot of people have been asking for)
I know for the Bucks its hard to agree working with Punk given what happened but if Hangman AND Punk agree to work together and actually do it properly unlike last year then it can be a compelling story(that should end with Hangman going over).

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. Pro wrestling is only real when a guy says stuff off of TV and on social media that conflicts in every way with his narrative portrayal and leads to zero storylines. Everyone remembers when Crockett drew huge money with an ARG that was actually just Ric Flair getting sloppy drunk and screaming at hotel staff.

Punk is extremely hands on in regards to all things Collision but it isn't really his show

In no way does Punk not come off as a controlling, pushy dick with that story. Still trying to get a story with guys who refuse to speak with him. Wants to be involved in creative meetings with them againstr other people to get in the room with them, keeps being denied, but also takes wild off-show digs at their friend to try and generate hype and keep pushing shit in this direction. It's in every single way red flag weirdo behavior from someone who sees others' boundaries as an obstacle to what he wants and it's f***ing gross.

The problem is, Punk has a proven track record of pettiness, public insults and hissy fits so I don't blame the Bucks for wanting nothing to do with him.
It's not like this is a Sammy Guevara/Eddie Kingston thing where it was one incident that was dealt with and everyone moved on. Even if he were sorry and willing to take responsibility, Punk has shown he can't be trusted.

So it's meant to be a work, but he didn't ask for permission and it wasn't planned. Yeah. He wants to have his cake and eat it too.

The year is 2043. Due to AI taking over our jobs, your only viable career path is Elon Musk Reply Guy, due to it being a task so demeaning that once they took over the machines refused to do it anymore, and it become one of the only paying jobs left. You finish your shift of laughing at his reposted memes and astroturfing Tesla PR campaigns to paper over that their self-driving feature is still causing accidents to tune in to AEW Saturday Night Tesla, which changed its name after Elon Musk successfully banned collision and related words to cover up that their self-driving feature is still causing accidents. Cyborg Man Punk beats Ethan Carter the 5th in a squash match, grabs a live mic, and starts calling out The Young Young Bucks and El Hijo Del Hangman Page as being weak baby men. FAN, whose main board is now for discussion of Faith No More tribute acts, still has a small, devoted wrestling section. You see in the all purpose live thread--because wrestling is now so niche on here that it's like the Impact superthread--that people are excited for this sign that for sure this time really The Elite vs. CMFTR is going to happen. Dave Meltzer's brain in a jar hooked up to a voice box says the next day that that was a shoot, no plans are in place, and that Chris Jericho's clone has been doing very well since coming out of the vat and is almost ring-ready. This post is now realer than Punk has ever made wrestling.

"its a work! Except no one but Punk planned it"
...so a shoot?
Also Punk trying to weasel his way into talking to Bucks and keeping harassing then is scummy as f***.
Also f*** everyone involved in having the DO story being dropped

"In regard to the promo, we asked Hangman and his response was:
"Do you have any cheese puffs"

That entire report is hilarious. I don't even care if it's true because it's just so funny.
It really seems to be eating Punk up that the Elite won't engage. Trying to accompany FTR into meetings to speak to the Bucks? Speaking crap about Hangman as a work but without getting permission first?
Keep doing you, Phil. I have no interest in watching you, but you're funny as hell.

This is the whole Post Collision promo with CMFTR.
Starting at 4:30 min mark, Punk thanked the fans and praised their signs.(that was clearly non kayfabe)

So...
He goes into business for himself by doing a shoot in hopes of making it a work with people who _probably_ want zero, zilch, nada to do with him and just want to move on with their lives if you take what they've said publicly at face value.
He also suddenly wants to turn heel. Right.
Why do I feel like this whole "I'M TRYING TO WORK, YOUR MARKS" thing he's pulling is him having some next day regrets?
