This was brought up in the Cody Thread, and while I agree it was part of the Domino Effect, the actual starting Domino is "Black Adam bombs at the box office", like legitimately imo. To me, the real first domino is Marvel movies doing well and DC being desperate to catch up. Then we can take this whole mess back to Marvel selling the film rights to Spider-Man, the X-Men and Fantastic Four, since the whole approach to the MCU was because they didn’t have access to their biggest properties.

The whole thing can be traced all the way back to the Big Bang when Earth and everything else was created. Or God did something. I don't know i didn't actually read the Bible.

That's why I watched the movie instead, with Jim Carrey.

It will be funny if Jack Perry is the catalyst for a new Boom Period!

What if Perry started using the GTS, and called it the Butterfly Effect?

This is fun and all but I don't see how Punk being off Mania relates to Rock taking Cody's spot. I know dealing in counterfactuals anything could have happened but surely this still would have played out the same re:Cody/Rock even if Punk was still in AEW

Punk should have either let Colt take the podcast down when he asked or actually covered Colt's legal fees like he promised and not go back on his word because Colt got pizza with Owens, Zayn and Pac.
If Punk just does one of those two things - none of the toxicity as we know it follows.

"Jack Perry and The Butterfly effect" sounds like a super pretentious Math Rock band with super elaborate stage shows I would own all of their albums.

The time away in New Japan seems to be doing wonders for helping Perry improve. Whether there's really heat or this was a planned work it's making Perry more interesting. Can't wait to see how his return to a vastly different AEW landscape will play out.

I thought Jack would have returned by the December World's End PPV but at least he's getting some work in NJPW.
Wasn't the biggest fan of his heel turn but we'll see where it goes from here.

I'm taking anything Meltzer says with a grain of salt nowadays. If he says he's being punished or whatever, I'm going to need some secondary sources on that from SRS or something.

Meltzer used to be very reliable when it came to AEW news, then he seemingly fell out with Tony, and it's been very hit-and-miss since

Is it possible that TK is still mad about the Punk fiasco? Sure. Based on how the Bucks and Perry keep hinting at each other on social media, I think it's more likely that Perry went on excursion because he was exposed badly during and after the pillars feud

I think he's obviously forgiven him now, you don't let someone go to another company and rip up an "AEW contract", call yourself a scapegoat and do the whole worked shoot thing if you haven't moved past your issues. Tony will have no doubt been angry with Jack, he loves (and has a massive blind spot for) Punk and Jack threw a spanner in the works right at the start of their biggest ever show, even as someone who thinks it's a good thing for the company that Punk got fired I'd say what Jack did, instigating the matter, was one of the stupidest things you'll see in wrestling, and some of the very worst timing possible. But I'd imagine a lot of why he hasn't been brought back for so long is just not knowing quite what to do with him or how to bring him back, hence this NJPW stint.

Even as someone that thinks TK was Punk's bitch to the end I doubt any of that is true

This sounds like a very convenient story to help get Perry's new gimmick over.
In the unlikely event it is true, Khan needs to get a hold on himself. No wrestler in the world is worth still being bitter about losing this many months after the fact and especially not a wrestler who managed two matches and ended up injured again.

It seems like Dave thinks Jack is a scapegoat of some sort.
