I’ve been a fan of Jim Cornette for 30 years and this is the first time I feared for my life.
Best comment here
Well fucking done, sir.
Looks scary, you should talk with your Legal Team.
I'm about to watch it. I'm nervous. What if Jim gets too angry (I hope so)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Jack Perry. Road to WrestleMania 40 is going to be insane
aged well
@@orster2076 Aged well, because the comment was made after Punk's return.
LFG Thank you Tk.. Hopefully you get it together. Thank you for helping make this WrestleMania next year amazing
😂🤣👍
this aged like fine wine
Back here after CM debuted at Survivor Series. That loud roar of the crowd probably made Punk fear for his life.
Debuted ?!
Coming back to this classic after Tony aired the footage of the scuffle makes it ten times funnier that punk got fired for that😂😂😂
Watching it right this second is just as rewarding. This ages so well.
Now people will understand why Vince Mcmahon managed the WWE with an iron fist.
Punk caused a load of backstage problems there as well-seems to be problems have been in every locker room he has inhabited his entire career.
Except he bent over backwards for Shawn Michaels.
@@james2651 Bent over forwards, more like.
Still, even HE got tired of Shawn's shit eventually.
In hindsight, AEW and TK needed to happen to show the wrestling world what exactly would happen if you let be buddies with wrestlers and let the inmates run the asylum.
@@jesuszamora6949And Shawn changed and eventually became a better man
The video we’ve all been waiting for.
Glad I'm here early
Hell yes we have!
H E L L Y E A H
The EVPs and their large circle of friends in and out of AEW were successful in complicating things for one man enough to win in the end
The Kliq ain't got SHT on The Elite
I'm still waiting to get accepted to the Cult of Cornette facebook group. but this is an even better replacement!
I met CM Punk years ago in Atlanta. I used to work as a supervisor at State Farm Arena & my office was right next to where the wrestlers would set up. I'm a BIG Rob Van Dam fan and I wanted to meet him. RVD wasn't with it AT ALL! 😂😂😂 CM Punk saw me get played and he came over and talked to me for 15 minutes. I've been a fan ever since.
😂 i like RVD and cm punk a little more from that story
RVD once a slapped a certified retard for touching him so don’t feel too bad he was just being himself 😂 (he didn’t know beforehand of course)
Cool story. Maybe RVD was having a bad day. I didn't meet him but saw him interacting with fans at last year's wrestlecon with Sabu and he seemed very friendly with the fans. Never heard RVD getting into backstage fights with other talent.
@@MoviePalaceOfBlood Then you haven’t dug deep enough into that.
@@MoviePalaceOfBlood everybody that I know that ever met RVD said he was cool AF. I think I caught him when he was focusing on a match
RVD was high as a giraffes ass
The Elite kept saying Punk got Colt Cabana taken off of TV, even after Tony said that's not true. They kept on with it and Tony did nothing. Adam Page went into business for himself on live TV and Tony did nothing. Then, we get the famous All Out media scrum where Punk had enough and came in guns blazing and then beat the shit out of the Bucks afterwards. Tony finally took some action and suspended both parties. The Elite comes back, takes shots at Punk on live TV, Tony does nothing. Notice a pattern here? The only time any disciplinary action was taken was when Punk finally had enough and defended himself. Tony Kahn couldn't manage a Target and his EVP's couldn't manage a lemonade stand.
lol, at was 90/10 punks fault. you cant get physical with people like 5 times and not get canned
@@joeallan3706What was he supposed to do then? Fuck the bullshit.
@joeallan3706 people, especially the vast majority of adults these days, need to learn that running your mouth continually, will get you smacked up.
I'm not sure how much I believe Hangman went into business for himself. What he said to Punk in that promo wasn't any harder than what Eddie Kingston said to Punk before his match with him, about how nobody wanted him in AEW. And if Hangman wasn't supposed to say it to him, they didn't try to make it seem that way when they replayed the clip of it in the countdown show, their TH-cam channel, and the pre-match video package.
@@kaijusoshingeki7214 Yeah but Eddie and Punk discussed what would be said in the promo beforehand. Hangman didn't. That was Punk's issue.
Cody once again proves why he’s the smartest person in wrestling.
Saw a comment from an AEW mark about how AEW is better now than when they had Cody. I can’t believe the nonsense some people believe.
The only people that still watch AEW are their hardcore marks that will sniff the farts of the young bucks and say it’s the best thing ever
Smartest mid-tier because he's not getting the world championship from anyone
@@UncomfortableShoesI’m coining it the “Russo effect “ say a bunch of shit how you want to remember it, then say it til you believe it’s true
@@shindean but at least he's in the major league of wrestling. WWE=NFL, AEW=flag football being played by paraplegic blind kids whose motorized wheelchair batteries are drained.
If we get a CM Punk interview on this podcast it will break wrestling for months.
It wont happen. There would be massive ndas
Yes please!!!!
@@arviejustiniano2359 that's the only possible way it doesn't happen. But I have no clue why Punk would sign an NDA, Tony was the one desperate to hire him, not the other way around.
@@arviejustiniano2359there is no NDA, Punk got FIRED. No settlements have been offered, so Punk, if he wants to sue for breach, which would result in NDAs, he can’t talk. If he doesn’t give a shit, he’ll open up the can of worms.
TK WILL SEND AN ARMY TO SHUT THAT DOWN REAL QUICK
The big thing about the "feared for his life" ordeal thats messing with me is
1. We found out about Jack Perry getting choked pretty much the instant that the bell rang for punks match. Lunging at the boss and attacking him is much bigger and more serious. Why did no one mention that in the initial leak and we only find out about it 6 days later?
2. If he really did fear for his life and punk was gonna seriosuly hurt him, why did he still go out a wrestle for 20 minutes, go back through the curtain, joke around with Miro and Jericho, take photos with Samoa Joe Jerry Lynn and Paul Turner and basically hang out for an hour before going back to the hotel and ordering Nandos for all his buddies on the roster? If people were fearing for their lives, shouldnt he have been arrested? Shouldnt charges have been pressed? Im almost 100% convinced that Tony Khan is lying his ass off.
Tony Khan is lying, of course. The lawyers did their job albeit in a shady way but Tony couldn’t deliver it correctly because he knows he is in the wrong. To add onto your points:
1. Let’s assume that the skirmish backstage did indeed happen, which in and of itself is highly doubtful considering the sources that talk about it. The moment Punk walked out for his match, the children backstage couldn’t contain themselves. This is after several backstage meetings, the alleged enforcement of rules and regulations for all talent, and all the damage control that TK and the veterans attempted for the good PR. Despite being told that there would be serious consequences for leaking to the dirt sheets, these children did exactly that the moment they saw Punk walk out. Shamelessly talking shit about Punk behind his back, changing the narrative to suit their needs and pissing Punk off even more. Anyone would be furious at that. Leaking dirty laundry to the dirt sheets while they have their biggest show going on? Ridiculous!
2. It’s almost like Punk didn’t even have a clue that there was a conspiracy against him going on at that very moment but for sure sensed that this was his final day in that locker room seeing his actions after his match. (The goodbyes and the final gesture to the sky) Which means those little children were silently plotting it all and perhaps, TK was in on this. It was a way out to not pay Punk for the rest of his contract. Again, shady as fuck.
Not to mention, the cancelled meeting with the Bucks at Atlanta, the shoddy travel plans for him, the Jackass boy antagonising him and so on and on. It would make any sane person insane.
It’s 100% a work. I bet CM Punk is injured.
@@KrishnanNathReally.
well, this didn't age well
@@karma_coin what aged poorly? Nothing I said here got contradicted by him going back to the WWE.
Listening to this after the unthinkable return happened and it's even funnier to listen to today
Only Tony khan could make Jim Cornette & Vince Russo agree on something
hell has officially frozen over.
JC and VR tag teaming?
Bischoff
@@richardauthement3105This isn't Hell freezing over. This is God and Satan Teaming up to become the Single Most unlikely Tag Team ever
Holy dogshit...
Tony Feared for his life yet Brock on camera backstage literally threw his title at Vince and instead of crying Vince just yelled out “Asshole”
Exactly those wrestlers respect and Fear Vince those Wrestlers don't respect Tony Khan.
Please. Forget about Nailz? Forget he openly admitted he scared Bret would kill him after Owen's death? Vince isn't made of stone.
I can bet a million dollars that if Vince ran AEW none of the shit we hear backstage would happen.
@@paulprimus1666no it would happen as it always has happened it just wouldn’t get out.
Khan is a wimp and he's the Elite's concubine. Bret literally right hooked Vince in the face, and Vince didn't "fear for his life". He took it like a man, a man who knew he wronged another man. Khan is boy who doesn't understand such concepts.
I'm back to this after CM Punk's return to WWE. Last was right. None of this would have happened if Tony Khan had been a boss from the start and squashed all this at Brawl Out.
Now, after the MSG house show, even Cornette called it. Punk has been helping WWE break records and generating a whole lot of money. Hell, they just broke their MSG attendance record, even breaking WM20. The Punk effect is real.
Thank you Tony Khan for releasing CM punk from the Prison called Aew
Tony khan’s ownership of AEW makes Dixie Carter’s ownership of TNA look like WWE under triple H.
Man.....if even Dixie Carter is a great booker by comparison, you're really fuckin up.
TNA at one point had more stars for one thing
Impact has been pretty good recently.
lol. I think that was a classic joke - how terminator: genisis makes terminator 3 look like terminator 2.
All three blow.
Choosing jungle boy and the young bucks over CM Punk is like picking 3 Count over Hollywood Hogan in 1998.
Or like Horace Hogan over Hollywood Hogan.
Hogan isn't much better
Punk has like 1 year left of good wrestling if his old ass can even stay healthy lmao
3 Count didn't even exist in 1998, and yet your comparison is still somehow accurate.
@@XantroyXhe was off by only a year. Stop nitpicking
“Kennys probably too much of a wishy washy douchebag to even be mean to people” thats probably about the closest thing to a compliment to omega that we’ll ever hear from Jim
I agree with him. I like Kenny Omega due to his pleasant interviews with outsiders. I think he stupidly walked into the locker room with the Young Bucks and seriously wanted to defuse the fight and protect the dog. I think his role was a simple misunderstanding. Now remember he was the only one that CM Punk didn't hit.
lol
Well he was wrong because Kenny has been shitting on him on the TH-cam show
@@Saltycracka74because most people won't hit someone holding a pet, especially their own pet. That'd be like trying to attack someone holding your toddler.
Rather it was intentional or not on Kenny's part, it was the smartest thing he done that night.
Nah. The closest Jim Jason gone was admitting that Omega is talented and is very athletic. He just hates everything else about him with a passion.
The fact now they’re using Bryan Danielson as a scapegoat. Stating that he was the head of the disciplinary committee that terminated Punk. Shows how pathetic Tony and the EVP’s are.
And the Buckaroos are *coincidentally* on sabbatical while all this is going down..
@@barrymccockiner773exactly
Tony Khan feared for his life, but had no problem let Punk take pictures and leave the arena on his own. If he wants real fear, try riding with Jeff Hardy from town to town
That’s messed up but valid lol
@@thehorrorhound6575Oh shut up ya mook😒
Really ya mook?😒
Dude this is the first time he saw CM Punk actually be the aggressor and it probably pissed him off again. He did the right thing because it was just going to be more drama with this dude
@@flyguy7825When will the "footage" be released?
The rise an fall of AEW is going to be one hell of a documentary. Or an entire season of dark side of the ring.
It’s hilarious to see because all their fans talked down on WWE’s politics and drama for decades but this has taken the cake and they’ve only been running for 4 years
Tony should've learned form Herb Abrams. Being a mark doesn't mean you're cut out to run your own show.
Hope we don't have to wait too long for it.
Its going to be a really good Documentary looking forward to it
Don't worry Vince will be there to buy the media library and that one will sell better than the ECW doc for all the wrong reasons 😂
0:46 the bad guys thought they won, but as the legend Scott Hall said; survey says one more for the good guys.
So true! They thought they won and even had a victory lap. Look at CM Punk now and look at them 😂
Back here after Punk's wwe return. Thanks a lot Jack Perry 😂😂😂😂😂
For the love of god, Brian and Jim, PLEASE get Punk on the Experience or Drive Thru. That episode would outdraw Wembley and garner more heat than Ox Baker in Cleveland
I'm team punk, but wouldn't that mean he would have to sue Jim and brian later 😂
@@LowTierScrub yes
Nebraska Women's Volleyball outdrew Wembley
@@jamesfierro94 GOOOOO BIG REDDDD!!!
@@LowTierScrub no with Steven P. on the case.
Brian and JC should literally write a thank you letter to TK for the abundance of content they’ve given them.
Jim will likely put a booger in his before sealing the envelope.
A lot of people watch(ed) AEW purely because Cornette took an interest. They're good.
Brian should thank Cornette for giving him a level of fame because he has no real talent other than being born with a silver spoon like Tony Kahn .
The same could be said for Cornette as well. They both bring new views and ears to each other... unintentionally or not!💯
@@myhandlewastaken i just listen to the reviews
I've tried to watch it a few times but gosh it was so awful.. Like when i saw dino walking akward, like how tf can those fuckers even walk weird?
I'm actually happy for Punk. He collected a mark's money for almost two years, and now he no longer has to deal with the Elite and their grade school bull crap. I doubt anyone's happier Punk got fired than Punk himself.
that drama queen wont work in another promotion 😿
He got robbed out of his contract though
And he ended his run there by working with his old rival from his ROH days in front of 80,000+ people. Not a bad way to go out.
Sounds like he did a Hulk Hogan. Interesting ...
I'm sad. This means someone might actually pull their punch next time. Then again, if Andrade decides he wants to try and get fired again...
I was watching some guy at UFC, haven't been keeping up with it much since 197, missed most of the almost 100 cards they've held since, but there was a prick on a losing streak who finally won and then insulted the fans. I know there's a high probability that prick is going to get punched in the face at UFC 296? 297? Some time in the near future. But what about all of the pricks in AEW so intent on not giving us the product we were promised back in 2019? I don't care that they failed so much that most of them aren't even trying. I want them to be punched, squeezed, twisted, choked, stretched, thrown, slammed, kicked, stomped! That, or you know, try the sports based pro wrestling already. In that sense I am sad about Punk being fired, because I doubt the product is going to change for the better because of it. As long as the product is largely bad, locker room fights that bad workers largely lose are fun to snicker at.
For the sake of AEW as business? Who cares! Just don't replace CM Punk with yet another goddam clown or spot monkey. Better yet, don't replace him at all, use Anthony Agogo. Use Wardlow. Do something serious with Claudio Castagnoli while his body still works, before he becomes another Chris Jericho or Keith Lee. But if you don't do something to improve the product and we can't even take enjoyment in off camera violence, then what's the point? There's better pro wrestling. There's mixed martial arts, my Gameboy, Microsoft paint, there's the sidewalk, the grass!
I was at All In Wembley. I saw thousands of people outside the stadium and in the stadium. What struck me was the volume of CM Punk merchandise. Honestly I could not believe the amount of fans with Punk shirts. I saw more Punk t-shirts than MJF, Adam Cole and all the Elite members combined at Wembley.
Wembley booed the shit out of Punk.
Yeah he was the top merch mover for aew
@@dustinbaxter4521 So is Orange Cassidy.
@@SomePotatoThey played along lololol
@SomePotato the cheered tf out if him when he entered abd when the match was over .
You guys need to get Punk on a podcast one of these days. It would be a glorious coming together filled with laughter and wit.
Sadly Punk would just accuse Cornette of trying to profit off of his misery the same way he accused Jericho, JR, and anybody but Cabana when they offered him a chance to come on their podcasts and tell his story.
Then punk would sue them :) I joke I joke
@@donovanbradford8231Yeah I like Punk but I never understood that shit....... YES Punk............ That's the name of the game. WHY NOT make some money off it somehow AND get your side of the story out.
They will be pursued in the courts by aew...thats why punk cant talk in podcast ....thats what happen to him and the stupid cabana when they talk about wwe
At this stage I'd be scared to get too involved in Punk because you wouldn't know how he would view your actions. He did not respect Tony at all and lunged for him. However when he faced strong leadership in Vince, he had a major issue with that too.
The most anticipated podcast in the history of podcasts. And thanks to Jim & Brian for the quick turnaround time.
BITW.!!!!
The next best thing would be CM Punk doing a tell-all podcast with Jim and Brian. Imagina podcast like the one he did with cabana with him just exposing everything aew has done
No there have been some others
Thanks guys
Brian Least is a complete stooge.
Here after CM Punk returned at Survivor Series.
Here while frying chicken.
Bischoff and Cornette have both been proven 100% right about AEW. I say that as someone who despises WWE and really hoped that AEW would be the second coming of WCW.
The problem is you and I were hoping for WCW 96-98 and we got WCW 99-01.
@a.d.3788 😂😂😂

Tony khan has to be the biggest example of someone who wouldn’t be anything without his dad.
If Tony Khan wasn't the son of a billionaire, he'd be working at Starbucks, not running a wrestling promotion.
@@virgilhawkins7368 He'd be a Target Manager at the most.
One can easily say the same for Vince & his ties to WWF / WWE, let's be honest. Familial ties are what they are.
@@bridgersouthwell1471good point.
@bridgersouthwell1471 Vince took what his father made and brought it mainstream, you really can't compare the two since Vince Jr actually knew what he was doing.
Does anyone else think Cody was the only adult in the room when this thing started and saw the immaturity of the Elite and the gullibility of Tony and said, "Nah, I's rather deal with Triple H."?
Triple H actually will do what's best for business.
Thats exactly it!!!
I haven’t thought of that until u mentioned it!! Cody knew the direction AEW was going & wanted to be a better structured company & for that I don’t blame him!! 💯
Cody (on Camera) said that he left for personal reasons - I think it was the fact that the 2 bucks and omega always voted together/ stuck up for each other and so made Cody's life hard as they could easily out vote his views due to their numbers.
@@zach7948 Like fire CM Punk on his wedding day.

You would never hear Watts, Frits, Inoki, Graham, Vince , the Crocketts or any other wrestling promoter say they feared for their life from a wrestler.
Half those guys would have tried to end anyone who pulled that on them.
I think Bill did with Scott Steiner
To be fair. Paul Heyman 10000% would😂😂😂😂 but point taken
@@ItsHappyHourArchived hah Paul should thank Jim Ross everyday that he stopped Tommy Dreamer from going homicidal
Dixie Carter never sounded as feminine as Tony did during that speech.
The thumbnail is magnificent! TK as Richie Rich with his broken toy and Corny as Cadbury looking exasperated is gold!
Now I wanna watch the movie again
Proof that just because you're a super fan doesn't mean you can run a wrestling company. Cornette said it perfectly when he talked about Tony being a little kid with action figures.
Yeah yeah that's why Jim sold his own wrestling company in less than 2 years. Because it was a major flop. Y'all think Jim is like the greatest thing to ever happen to wrestling while he's only a crying grandpa and ruined people's careers like Santino lmao.
Same goes for Kenny proving he was out of his depth with the development of the video game. Just because you've played video games all your life doesn't mean you are qualified to be in charge of the creation of one.
@@muryt12 Like Smoky Mountain and AEW have anything to do with each other 😂
I think khan is doing a better job then most fans would have done running such a big company but he's maybe a bit naive to the politics and scheming that goes on behind the scenes and doesn't really have any wrestlers he can trust to be a locker room leader - compared to, say, Vince McMahon who at this stage in his career has a lot of guys who he'd grown up with and were fiercely loyal so he could trust them to iron out disputes without needing to be on the front line.
@@josephstewart2821 "I think Khan is doing a better job than most fans would have done at running the company"
That's the problem. "Fans" shouldn't be running wrestling companies at all. This kind of play-promoting is for 12 year olds with their action figures.
After hearing the stories about the Atlanta meeting and Punk being left at the airport, it amazes me that there are so many AEW fans who still claim all of this is on Punk 🤯
It's more 40% punk and 60% aew. Punk is not innocent either. Aew is definitely the worst actor here though.
While both share blame, AEW really messed up here. How do you leave your biggest star at the airport with no transportation? I get it, he could have used Uber, but the aesthetics of it still make the company seem like the minor leagues.
I agree 100%. Whatz the Atlanta story about? I missed that one.
Punk would have a job still if he didn’t assault someone and tell Tony he hated it there lol yeah JP did pop off and he’s a little shit for that lol but Punk went too far lol easy. Nothing to do with the Bucks/ KO
@@SocialVoiceAppsmy biggest gripe with people who make this argument is the dismissive attitude towards the Elite and Perry. They started shit with him.
FTR coming out with Chicago shirts and doing the X taunt was proof that people backstage are definitely pissed
People outside the lollipop guild, anyway.
Just as juvenile as the Elite taunting Punk previously. Punk is the architect of his own downfall.
@daveborder7751 FTR aren't taunting anyone though? How is it juvenile?
@@benodonovann Come off it-who do you think doing the Punk sign is directed at?
@@daveborder7751 the fans in chicago? 🤣 Or just punk fans in general, ftr miss him too they're his mates after all
CM Punk showed Tony Khan what REAL Pro Wrestling is and Tony couldn't handle it.
U know ur doing well when u make WWE look like a sanely run organisation.
Could you imagine Bill Watts, in his prime, making the statement to the media "I've never feared so much for my safety in my life" because of a backstage dustup? Tony Khan has proven how "in over his head" he is with this position.
Defo. The guy is an absolute fanboy dweeb.
😂😂😂
A rich kid who probably grew up never really facing any serious confrontation in his life is probably not lying when he said that
Nah the Cowboy would have had Grizzly Smith take care of it or done it himself
Well Bill Watts could've beaten the shit out of most of the wrestlers in his Mid-South territory if they wanted to test him.
Tony needs to realize in the wrestling business you can either be the boss or everybody's friend you can't be both
Tony is the George McFly of professional wrestling. He’s not very good at confrontation.
He wants to hug all of them like their his stuffed animals
He just made a huge decision by firing Punk. FA : FO
to me, applies for everything with business. you can be kind and firm but the nice people always get stepped on.
At all
When I found out Aubrey Edwards was on one of these counsels, that told me everything I needed to know on how AEW is ran. These people are all taking jobs and pretending to be something they’re not, including professionals.

It's not what you know, it's who you know: unfortunately CM Punk wasn't inside of the large circle of friends in AEW, so the narrative is theirs and the amount of people who could poke and harass him was plentiful.

Same!
Vince McMahon got knocked out by Bret Heart...stood up and took it like a man...then turned that into a promo and created one of the best heals, Mr. McMahon, in the process. At no time did he whine and claim that people were in danger...that's the difference between AEW and WWE
Vince is a Man Tony is a rich Incel.
Well said. First thing I thought of when I heard Khan’s statement.
Vince took no responsibility for what he did. He lied and did what he could to smear Hart in a... What was it 2 part 20 min segment.
It feels like people are responding as if they lived during the time but are young ones who were either kids at the time or not existent yet.
@@daisusaikoro And then brought Bret back. Punk is gonna be back.
@@daisusaikoroHe kinda did take responsibility though.
Sure, he said Bret was derelict in his duty of "Honoring the time honored tradition".....but then he said he did what he had to do, he didn't regret it, and essentially the inflated ego Bret had, combined with his justified hatred for Shawn, caused him to not do business.
That's where Bret screwed Bret comes from.
And we all know Vince is gonna do what's best for business, come hell or high water.
Imagine CM Punk returning to WWE with the same “Belt in the bag” promo saying he wants to swap the garbage thats in the bag for a real world title 😂
Make it happen.
Like when Alundra Blaze went to WCW
Vince will never hire punk because he has major beef with punk
@@sauravnirala3876Lmao wrong. So wrong. Vince cried when he said he was leaving. He also said on Stone Colds podcast that he’d love to do business with him again. Triple H said it too.
@@sauravnirala3876bruh. Vince will fire his own children to make more money in his company, what makes you think this is different? Plus are you forgetting when Bret literally punched Vince and in still brought him back and put him over at Wrestlemania?
Jim's description of how he would have handled the Perry/Punk incident is exactly how last year's situation AND this should have been handled. Bosses put their employees in check. Marks let the inmates run the asylum. Absolutely embarrassing.
Dutch Mantell had a good take on the matter too and would've fired them both
He handled the situation by firing the guy who was pain in his ass
They would still be in the same place as they are now ... if not worse
Most "big" companies do not tolerate any physical altercations between employees. Most times, you are one and done. All parties are gone. AEW's HR knows that. Punk being the only goner could lead to a big time lawsuit by Punk. He can say that he understands his termination but what about the other parties?
@@sauravnirala3876Hangman , The Buckaroos and Small Dick Perry still work there so Id say he fired the wrong pain-in-the-ass
Imagine if Vince acted like this when Bret punched him? 😂 Granted he was done with the company anyway, but imagine if Vince said he was afraid for his life? 😂
thats heel talk right there
tell me who didnt use that phrase in the 80s-90s
Nailz also threatened to kill Vince in his face and they were alone inside the office. You may say what you want about Vince but he clearly knew how to handle situations like this.
@@troyancheta3803 Well, that's a bad example, Nailz would have choked Vince to death had someone not stepped in to stop him...
@heinrichvonwicker168 yes but Vince never go out in public and said he was afraid for his life.
Tony coming out bragging probably would have been better because at least he could’ve said himself up as a heel although I don’t think it would’ve worked he’s really forgettable
Coming back from the future, where AEW just showed the footage of this to confirm Punk's recounting of events, pop an okay rating, and get CM Punk chants going on their show. Since CM Punk is happily working in WWE, I don't think he'll be back next week to prop up Dynamite's ratings again.

Meltzer says describing it as a "lunge" was being kind to CM Punk. Because Meltzer is always kind to CM Punk. So what really happened was a backstage Benoiting.
*Inhales*
Good
Meltzer is a well known liar. Has been to anyone with critical thinking skills.
I’d hate to see how meltzer reports on people he’s not being kind too
Meltz has not been credible for four years.
Surely if he was "scared for his life" and Punk went for him, there would not have been a near week long "investigation" and Punk would have been fired on the spot??
The whole thing sounds like somebody has stitched Punk up here to get rid of him.
1. The supposed cancelled meeting after Punk flew to Atlanta then the transportation incident at Heathrow airport would have annoyed punk enough
2. Conveniently being given the curtain jerker spot IMMEDIATELY after Jack Perry's match. I would not be surprised if someone put Perry up to saying his comments on camera knowing that Punk would have been in gorilla when Perry went back through
3. Punk being the one made to allegedly go up to Perry to tell him about not being allowed to use real glass.....why didn't any of the Elite do that?? Isnt that part of being an EVP??
4. Perry was apparently TOLD to leave Wembley after the incident whereas Punk was given the choice....so what on earth has changed that all of a sudden makes Punk the one losing his job? Again if Punk made Tony feel threatened, why was security not waiting for Punk to come back through gorilla after his match to fling his arse out of the stadium??
The whole thing just seems orchestrated to get rid of the guy. Not to sound like a nutjob conspiracy theorist, but I would not be surprised if the bucks are at the back of all this
All good points I can make multiple more but I'm bored of typing about all this now
You nailed it!
I'd almost bet one of my limbs that it was the Bucks putting Perry up to it. "You'll be fine, you'll take a break and get to come back." It feels way too planned to be a coincidence.

Woah, the term locker-room leader doesn’t exist in AEW
“I’m surprised he didn’t football kick tony in the pussy” is absolutely the funniest thing I’ve heard recently
Coming back to this video after punk shout out jim cornette on raw.
Imagine Vince admitting he was scared during a skirmish 😂
Vince literally walked on his own legs even after tearing his quads, Just so he doesn't look weak.
Bruh, he took a punch from Bret willingly, apparently asked Angle to amateur wrestle him, asked the Road Warriors to do their finish on him, etc. That man was something else
Instead of 'Bret screwed Bret' after willingly taking a punch, it would've been.. 'I've been a promoter for decades, and have been around the wrestling business my whole life with my father. I've never seen anything like this. I was scared for the safety of the personell and other talent, and when Bret stormed into my office.. that was the first time in this business that I feared for my life.'
He might be an accused sexual predator and a generally horrible human being, but I would not think of Vince as being scared of a fight.
Jack Perry will go down in history as the guy that got Punk fired because Punk was looking out for his safety.

TK is an enigma to me.
He builds a second main show around CM Punk. Punk does exactly what he should be doing in and out of the ring. His in ring skills where returning to old form. His mic work was amazing.
The formula was simple, sit Punk in a room with creative and let no one else near him. So what Punk needed was a middle man, much like TK had in Cody Rhodes. The middle man would deal with the talent directly and getting time with Punk would have been slim to none unless it was an absolute emergency.
TK started off with the right idea but since the loss of Cody Rhodes , his way of handling the talent has become counter productive.
Which makes me wonder, how stupid was TK in turning down Bret Harts services. Hart knows wrestling inside and out, his father ran Stampede wrestling and Bret was his fav protege.
TK needs to create a second and third wall between himself and the talent and allow zero non sense kind of people who can handle the situation. TK is too impulsive which makes me wonder, is TK on drugs?.
Is TK on drugs? Are you serious? Is the sky blue? Does a dog bark? Does a cat meow?
Young Bucks has TK's ears, except for that brief moment TK began to acknowledge Corny's criticisms, then relapsed back to sticking with The Elite.
CM Punk is back in the WWE!! Book Seth Rollins vs Cm Punk for the world heavyweight championship!! Wrestlemania 40 is going to be a movie

Let's be brutally honest, the most intersting thing Jungle Boy has done since joining AEW was being choked out by Punk backstage. That says it all.
Listening to Tony Kahn’s statement after seeing the actual footage gives it a whole new level of hilarity.
Tony Khan doesn't want to push alphas. Doesn't push the big guys Warlow, Lance Archer, barely Miro and Hobbs. He pushes everyone who never would have made it during the Attitude Era. It's nothing wrong with pushing different types of wrestlers, but this is Revenge of the Nerds.

This is big news bro the top star gone only top star there is MJF Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan Samoa Joe everyone just shocked
Brian has been spot on about the problems going on in AEW since day one and A LOT of it was transpiring before Punk got there and when he wasn't there.
Watch, there will be "peace" in AEW for about a year and then drama will resurface due to the ongoing conflict of interest: entitled EVPs doubling as wrestling talent.
And as long as it has those problems AEW will never be a proper competitor to wwe. But then vince always wins. And as I’ve said in passing vince could die tomorrow and still run wwe from beyond the grave.
Punk had the name and the bank account to stand up for himself without fear. I'm sure lots of guys buried by Khan's pals suffer in silence.
For as slimey as the EVPs, Jericho and Meltzer have been, the blame all goes back to Tony Khan. His lack of leadership and discipline led to this. He might be a nice guy in general, but he's a big Pu$$y.
@@victory7763we'll see. The chilling effect of everyone knowing the Cucamonga Gang will always get their way might stop folks from speaking out.
This firing turned out to be the biggest blessing in disguise!
Tony Khan is the poster child for the quote "A fool and his money are soon parted"
Vince had a championship belt thrown at him by the most legitimate fighter in professional wrestling and he just called him an asshole and kept booking the guy as champion like nothing ever happened. That's how it works in a real wrestling company that isn't run by immature EVPs.
That is a fair point if we going by tony logic Vince should have been legit terrified from that incident 😂
Just remember Paul Heyman ran ECW with a bunch of Insane people, and I never once heard him say that he was afraid for his life. I mean, he dealt with NEW JACK.... NEW JACK for Christ's sake
@@KickinitwithRosseven more terrified when he ate a knuckle sandwich from Bret Hart and did literally nothing about it lol. Imagine taking your comeuppance. Couldn't be TK lol.
Vince let Bret spit and punch him in the face. Albeit was a while before Bret returned. 😭😭😭
Nailz ACTUALLY lunged at McMahon, and McMahon didn't make an announcement while shaking like a fig leaf.
The fact that Khan got on live tv and started crying about being scared for his life and his family's lives because of a fight in the backroom is hilarious. Could anyone imagine Vince doing that? No wonder why no one respects him.
Vince wouldnt do it cuz EVEN NOW AT 70 vince is a JACKED TO THE GILLS OLD MAN! Lmaooo i dont see vince backing down from a fight tbh

Yeah, Tony was afraid for his life. That is exactly why after the situation happened that made Tony so afraid for his life he let CM punk go out and do his match and then hang out backstage for over an hour afterwards where CM punk eventually leaves the building only when CM punk decided to, and no one else Told him he had to leave. Tony was so afraid for his life that he met alone with CM punk after the situation when CM punk was talking about quitting and being pissed off about everything. That really sounds like the actions of somebody that was really afraid for their life. Not to mention he was so afraid for his life that he only suspended CM punk and waited an entire week to fire him. None of that adds up.
I'm not defending Tony or the bullshit, but the way you just represented it is actually classic de-escalation and makes perfect sense. Play it cool, make contact with the individual, be personal and let them think they're in control to achieve a desired effect/outcome. Law enforcement use this tactic literally every hour of every day.
Mind you, Tony actually wasn't in fear for his life.
@@cameron3578 yeah, he definitely was not in fear for his life. Like I said, if you are truly in fear for your life because of an individual, you are not going to voluntarily have a meeting alone with that person without anyone else around. You are also not going to allow that person to be in the same building with you for a long period of time if you have any say in the situation. He is easily just trying to build some kind of peace if something goes to court. It makes absolutely no sense in anybody with any kind of logic in their mind will be able to tear that apart in no time.

It’s the most over the top statement someone that’s never had a real life argument with a human would say.
Me too. And a lot of people actually give Tony props for this: 'He is so brave for doing this in front of Punks hometown fans etc' What the hell...
He literally said he was scared for his life just because an understandably angry wrestler was throwing a tantrum. Then he proceeded to portray Punk as a potential murderer to make himself look like the good guy...
@@nicup1737 Don't forget, TK is "from Chicago, too." Just like, "Britt Baker is from Pittsburgh." You're not from there when it's over a 2 hour drive to get there!

Jim is the biggest craze here, so do you. They kicked Punk's ass to get rid of their cancer parts. And now they finally don't have any crying old grandmas like Punk or Cornette. By the way Punk was botching at least 3 moves every single match and his matches were average at best. (most of them were trash) So I wish he never comes back.

@@Thunderbolt210 Jungle boy is one the elite flunkies. This is all stems from a bunch of man babies upset Punk is a threat to them.
Perry was suspended and as far as we know has no major prior "incidents" on his AEW record. Punk's the problematic repeat offender. Let him skate with another suspension for attacking Perry, then at the next PPV he's booked on just hope he doesn't attack another wrestler who makes an offhand remark Punk doesn't like? Tony set the example that noone, not even CM Punk, is above being fired for doing shit like this. If he let it keep happening you'd risk backstage fights breaking out all the time between others because guys won't think they'll get fired for it. Also Punk had 5 years max left in him, Perry, like MJF and Gueverra are guys they can invest in and build around for another 10-20+ years.....Punk was a just a quick short term way to draw more attention to their company, not some long term magical turn them into WCW 1997 success.

How is Tony and his legal team going to justify firing Punk when Andrade, Kingston, et cetera, punched other AEW “family members” and were still paid and allowed to keep wrestling?
Oh boy, I forgot about that, eeek.
You're right, they can't. I guess that's why they're already trying to change the focus to "the lunge" that we started hearing about well after the fact. Somehow, people were climbing over themselves to report the stuff with Perry, and even the silly story with Miro. But it took forever before we heard anything about this life threatening "lunge", and _THAT_ is what just so happens to be the reason he was fired. How about that.
Because these guys didn't go around doing that week after week, and then threatening the boss. Tony is a massive mark for Punk, and there's video footage - Punk had to have done something very wrong for his #1 fan to fire him, and go out infront of a Chicago crowd to tell them about it.
They did that once punk did it a few times cause he’s hardheaded I seen the comments on everyone is blaming everyone else but punk
Seriously. Sammy Guevara has been in the same number of backstage fights as CM Punk, and he's still there.
