A hilarious thing about all this is how Punk‘a awful UFC record hangs over this. No one wanta to be the next guys that try and fuck with Punk and take the embarrassing L of getting their ass handed to them by a guy who can’t fight professionally. So you get all this skulking around, Jericho making comments after things are over, etc.

I still think it's funny how the Cabana shit gets brought up when they were already not using the guy well before CM Punk coming to AEW was even a thought. They were dragging out a supposed drama of "will he/won't he" join the Dark Order bullshit. To say "the crowd went mild" is overselling it. It didn't even look like HE cared about the angle. Hell, until that Jericho match, I thought Colt got the Chavo Gurerro treatment.

This.

A thing that has always been funny to me about it is the fact that, yes, CM Punk was pretty delusional thinking he could just jump into something that people have spent most of their lives working towards... but at the same time, it isn't like he went in off the street with zero training whatsoever. He put in work. Just not the same amount of work someone who has amateur wrestling backgrounds and years of grappling and standup work ahead of him.

I personally could start going to a boxing gym and luck my way into a professional heavyweight fight. I'll prob'ly get my ass handed to me in said professional fight. I will also be able to easily take out any shithead in a bar who thinks he's tough and thinks he can outbox me after seeing me eat shit on a PPV. Both things can be true.

An 0-2 UFC record is only funny in the context of him fighting in the UFC, not throwing knuckles with some dicks in a backstage fistfight. That is an absolute false equivalence whether you "like" CM Punk or not.

But the worst part of it is exactly how all of this "news" just keeps showing up for no reason, and then any clarifications or retractions are kinda slow to show up. Starts with the instant clickbaity "CM PUNK HEAT WITH RYAN NEMETH" and then the whole "they talked it out and it wasn't as bad as we made it sound" just kinda slips under the radar. Punk gets the headline, and saying how horrible he is gets the attention. Hit job done.
