Although I'm sure the gift card was a dig at Punk, it's also just a dig at corporate life in general. I've worked in places where management thought a low value gift card for places you might not even shop at was a good replacement for being treated well or having a better salary. A gift card is better than nothing but sometimes it just feels insulting and that's what the Bucks were aiming for. My employer- which admittedly does treat and pay its people really well - LOVES giving away the ol Amazon gift cards. I’ve scored around $200 US in em already…and I’ve only been with this company since July 2023 😂

Yeah, it was probably a dig at Punk, but it works just fine as condescending boss behavior without that context.

Tony Khan Driver is a dumb name but so is Meltzer Driver and that's the whole point. I think a lot of people take the Bucks far too seriously and don't realize that half the stuff the Bucks do is purely to take the piss out of the people who hate them. The Bucks get criticised for doing too many flips... so they added a couple more flips for good measure. Those fans are being worked and don't even realise it.

How is the Amazon gift card a dig at punk? I think I missed out on that part of all the punk drama.

Have thought for a long time nobody works the dipshits on social media and turns them into complete marks more than the Young Bucks.

I remember when Brodie's Dark Order character was taking shape and people began to go over everything he did with a fine toothed comb to prove it was actually all a shot at WWE and Vince McMahon for some kind of petty reason. It was all actually just evil boss behaviors and there was a lot of stuff that ti turned out was even specifically ripping Quackenbush and not Vince, but people were hard wired to look for any and all proof that the whole character was just a pisstake of another guy so they could get mad about it. People are absolutely living in that space now with this and want this to all be targeted at Punk because somehow that proves Punk 'wins' or some shit.

Matthew and Nicholas are doing a perfect copy of the modern day evil boss: Egotistical condescending bosses who look down their nose at their employees, and then "reward" their employees with token gifts like gift cards and pizza parties. This new Bucks gimmick is perfect.

This new Bucks gimmick is perfect. I had a boss that made us donate $50 each Christmas to send the owners in a cruise each year. Our Christmas bonus was a $25 Wal Mart gift card. Had another job told us that we would get overtime after 50 hours instead of 40. The next day they gave us a new baseball hat with the company logo. They are nailing this gimmick.

Another excellent quote from Matthew and Nicholas from the article: "Cody is the face of the WWE now, and it’s cool to see because we always knew how much of a star he was. The founders of AEW will always have a lifetime bond with each other because we all know what we did for wrestling. We talk every week and in a weird way him leaving made us grow more as friends."I'll make sure to have this quote saved on my phone for the next time a Bucks Derangement Syndrome sufferer online says that The Bucks "forced Cody out of AEW".
