It’s alot to unpack with the Punk/Ariel interview but it wasn’t scorch the earth worthy. There’s old shoot videos of wrestlers burying companies and talent that were way more ruthless than this. Punk is Punk but he was more diplomatic and gave his side to all the events that led to his firing in AEW.
I can understand Tony hating Jungle Jack for the rest of his life but he allowed that situation to fester and it eventually exploded at All In.
The atmosphere Tony created is what caused all the drama and in fighting by not being a leader. Khan is supposed to be the principal but instead acts like the substitute teacher that lets his class run wild.
Punk said nothing wrong about AEW’s issues and a lot of his points were made in this very thread. What he said about MJF was very interesting. Once MJF started catering to the mark audience is when he started to fall off as a performer and a character. He wasn’t wrong there either.
Agreed
The interview was honestly fairly tame outside of the stuff about Jungle Boy
Saying AEW is not a real business isn't burying, it's a damn factual statement
I felt the stuff he said at the All Out scrum was 100x worse and also in a setting that was completely inappropriate. I would've fired him on the spot and it really showed how much of a p*ssy and how toothless that Tony Khan is that he didn't do a fukking thing about that. That was wild disrespectful to have popped off like that right next to your damn boss.
fukk Vince but you would never see a wrestler pull any shyt like that with them or even with Triple H now.
Bidding War byke?!
That's why he is in back to back WrestleMania main events. Punk will end up burning the WWE bridge again and Cody will likely be an executive in the company one day.
