Wouldn’t surprise me if New Japan wanted Punk and FTR over Omega and The Bucks too. You know, from that time where they outright lied to New Japan about staying even though their names were in the name of the new promotion cutting into New Japan’s US expansion and they thought it would be just fine.
Don’t think that didn’t make Kenny mad on top of Punk doing better Rampage numbers than him.
Punk didn’t suck their dicks and likely spoke out about their creative and how it is factually holding back the promotion. Yeah, he ruffled feathers. But he was also likely under the impression that he was brought in to help the product and assumed he was being paid enough for Tony to listen to his common sense. Nup. TK wants to entertain these two completely disparate visions. One is based on what works and doing things for effect. The other is based on what a handful of guys want to do to make themselves feel good regardless of if it works or not. They’re completely incompatible and it was always going to end in some sort of explosion between the people who want to bake a pie and the people who want to put their dick in it, regardless of if Punk was there or not. JR has had problems with this. FTR.
You have to go along with the corrupt management in AEW. It’s a toxic culture. Yeah, it’s gonna make a few people miserable, especially if they are already inclined to be miserable. But hey, they’re going to get theirs.
