As someone who watched the horror film CM Punk was in, I can assure you he isn't a good enough actor for any of this to be a work

Don't care about any of this backstage shit but I hate the Young Bucks.

No. The 1st one was. The 2nd 1 was against a bum. No profights. And hasnt had any since. The guy completely humiliated punk effortlessly in comical fashion. But no the 2nd fight was a bum the likes of which we've never seen in mma before. The kind of bum we see in boxing to pad a guys record but never before in mma. Picked to give punk an easy win in his home town. And the guy mauled punk.

And yeah, that 95% number is obviously more of an indictment toward wrestlers of today than it is praise toward Punk. Obviously we go back in time and that number drops to like 5%. Lol
Most wrestlers today haven’t been in a real fight. Hell, I’d argue that many of them haven’t been in a fake fight. |

![]() But this is a fair assessment, to be honest. I want both parties to lose, but if one has to win, I would go with the one that would improve the company overall. Especially if it fosters a "listen to the guys that have been there before. Even if you don't agree, you may be surprised" attitude in the back, which is severely lacking. Which is actually one of the issues with Hangman. Like I said, fuck both of em, but Punk slightly less? |

The Bucks aren’t in AEW to make money, create hot programs, or elevate the company they’re in. They’re in AEW to fart around with their friends. Why they didn’t book themselves to have their second match against red hot FTR for the tag titles at All Out is proof enough for me. They don’t need the trios titles and mooching off Kenny’s return, which has been uninspired from a storytelling pov, just tells me they’re not really interested in the things punk was highlighting; making money, selling tickets and selling ppvs.
Say what you will about Punk, what he said isn’t wrong. And I firmly believe he’d beat up the bucks lol |

Hopefully shit will be sorted out backstage but it would be genuinely hilarious if Hangman, Omega, and The Bucks all ended up in WWE 4 years after WWE tried to stop AEW from happening.

So is Tony going to suspend Punk like he did Eddie for getting physical?
Be cause champion or not, thats a double standard if he doesn't. |

I didn’t watch any of the show and have only read comments about what happened after. But man, whoever said AEW is the spiritual successor to WCW, they weren’t kidding.

I really can’t wait to see what the fuck happens at Grand Slam. Last year they threw out probably the closest thing to a PPV card on TV that they could’ve, on both Dynamite and Rampage.
People are very much expecting Punk/MJF and unless they’re gonna carry these real life tensions into story and do Punk/Hangman or Punk/Omega or something else like that I don’t see how it can be anything but Punk/MJF at that show. Booking has been messy but they’ve got a chance to get some goodwill back. They drop the ball with this at their big stadium show and they might actively start to lose fans from what they thought was a reliable baseline. |

Punk v Omega and the Bucks sounds due strictly because the latter three can’t cut convincing non dorky promos. I think they’ll save mjf v punk for full gear. Can’t see them moving the title off punk before then. And they should try to sell their third meeting as a huge ppv main event instead of a TV match.

Also hoping MJF just did a business transaction with Stokely to help him get the chip and that’s that. Tony doesn’t have a good track record with stables and MJF doesn’t need one.

https://youtu.be/yxleZpWSKQE its not a joke or a dig. he's uniquely ill suited for fighting. he's one of those guys that gets in a domestic and his girlfriend wins. the only people who defend him are people who never saw him, or are marks worked by his stuff that have never fought (formally or otherwise,) and/or cant do even the smallest amount of assessment with their eyes. if you could youd watch even the smallest amount of his footage and cringe at just how shockingly bad it is. Its likely theyre the only ones Punk could actually take because if you dont know enough to know you could kick his ass of all asses fighting is not for you. I recommend buying a gun. Punk went into the UFC with a name he made elsewhere and took the spot of guys far more deserving than him, guys who spent their lives trying to make it to that stage, and was humiliated in a way that had never happened before outside of those celebrity boxing train wrecks all while getting a nice paycheck that should have been going to more deserving people. I can understand coming from a place of ignorance on the topic, thats fair. maybe you dont follow the sport or you never got around to seeing those fights. maybe violence just isnt your thing. fair enough. but to pretend like is anything other than the physical comedy that is is preposterous. he is not "good for an amateur but bad for a pro" he isnt even "good for a bar and bad for a pro." A highschool wrestling team could score a takedown on punk 9 out of 10 times. find me any YMCA boxing enthusiast and i promise they can take punk at will until their arms give out. and then theres the ground game. he couldnt win a women's league. and the only people who wouldnt take everything i just literally are punk marks. |

I mean, if the bucks and hangman were the ones starting rumors about colt being fired or resigned to ROH true, then they already proved punks point.
I also don’t see how anyone expects him to just sit there and have all these rumors floating around and expect him to say nothing |

@Destor
Take that entire description and you’re describing an average mark. Now add SOME training, experience, stamina, athleticism, etc. and you’ve got Punk. You’re judging Punk as uniquely unqualified to fight because he actually tried against other pro fighters and there’s video evidence. As bad as he was, you can’t seriously hear “the marks could take him” and think of that as anything but hyperbole. |

Steele should be rightfully fired immediately.
I don’t know why Kenny and the bucks thought it was a good idea to go into Punk’s locker room. Instead of being executives and reaching out to set up a meeting, you know, like real executives. Regardless, Tony needs to squash this shit ASAP because it is fucking toxic to his company and its perception and it’s once again overshadowing what was a killer main event IMO and the return of asédialo their most talked about star. |

Also despite his beef with Hangman for "going into business with himself" and the EVPs for starting the rumors (and again, SRS was the first one to bring up the Colt speculation and he's said the EVPs were not his source)...he spent a lot more time dragging Colt than anyone else. For a guy who supposedly wants nothing to do with Colt anymore he sure enjoyed discussing his lawsuit in the open, calling him a leech, dragging his financial situation and on multiple times bringing up the fact that he has a shared bank account with his mom. Colt hasn't said a word about Punk publicly in years and is basically persona non grata in AEW, so why's Punk going out of his way to shit on him? Just very strange behavior IMO. |

I don't think saying they suck as wrestlers is fair to say, they just need more of a filter on them. They're like Russo without Vince. They've just gotta tone down the act (I'm speaking more so about the Bucks than I am about Omega).

I dont want MJF to be a babyface , and I dont want Punk to be a heel but it seems to be going that way.
I feel a heel MJF as a chicken shit champion, and a babyface chasing - having to run the gauntlet is a better draw. The question is , is Punk that babyface? |
