AEW did two impossible things: 1. Bring CM Punk out of retirement and back into wrestling. 2. Bring CM Punk back to the very company that made him sick in the first place.
Dude I’m still punching myself at the life I’m living rn. First CM Punk is back in WWE and I finally got my PS5 last week so I’m really loving the timeline we’re in rn.
Looking back at this now the only person to blame is Tony. He didn’t act like a boss and he didn’t handle this situation properly. Cause of that he lost the biggest start he will ever have. Punk was completely right.

For anyone that thinks he was wrong, look at the current state of the young ducks and look at the current state of CM Punk. 1 is ascending and the other is declining

Absolutely spot on! Colt C lives rent free in his head. Punk was the one who brought this whole thing up. He acts like a spoiled child and he's poison to any promotion he gets involved with. Wherever he goes he causes trouble, wherever he goes he ruins.
@@MuggsyTM Yep, you're right. He does draw the money, but then it seems he lets his ego get ahead of him and then all hell breaks loose. To me he's not worth the trouble. His shelf life is starting to run thin at this point so who knows how long he's going to be around.
@@jimguy9874 I can see why he is upset. Rumors were spread against him about Cabana. Kahn should have made it clear that Punk had noting to do with Cabana being released.

@@mr.awesome6011 In what way? The only people that believe that are punk apologists. There's a very good reason he's not starting fights in WWE. He's neutered and he's on his last chance in the business. He's been fired from every major promotion in the country. If the nerd wanted rumors to go away, he should have ignored them like grown ups do.
@@platinumpagoda3079 Grown ups also need their chance to justify themselves.

I actually prefer this version of the scrum rather than the official AEW stream. This one has the camera facing both guys at the same time, so you get to see Tony's facial expressions throughout Punk's entire rant, and you also get to hear the journalists laughing or talking, instead of the plain silence we got from AEW's stream.
Punk had to address the indie darlings such as young bucks. Brilliant pay per view. Enjoyed vlogging my adventure attending the spectacle th-cam.com/video/FTrDjAUs2Mc/w-d-xo.html
@@pakhtun7639 One the the WWE doctors sued both of them for defamation, and there was an issue regarding lawyer fees that caused a rift in their friendship.
I fear Jim may be too biased towards Punk in here because he considers him the best worker and old-school wrestler. In the end this was not a good look for either Punk or the company.
The fact that Tony just sat there ENTIRE time and didn’t stop Punk was very telling. He was either : A. Scared as holy hell to say anything ( as he said when he fired him 😂) Or more than likely B. Wasn’t his first time hearing it and it had to be aired out in public and he low key agreed with what Punk was saying.
No bruh look at TK face he didn’t agree with anything Punk said he just simply didn’t know what to do because it was so awkward for him when you see he’s nodding his head it’s not because he agrees it’s because he was nervous and legitimately didn’t know what to do
Tony has no fucking balls 0 none. Just a rich spoiled brat with daddies money. Can't run a wrestling company doesn't know how to book. Didn't put his foot down and Punk was their biggest star fuck the bucks
It’s insane how people were like “dam maybe punk really was the problem all these years” now we see this video aged like a fine wine and Tony Khan is left with 80 year Big show and Chris Jericho as his top stars in AEW 💀💀💀
@@Saddler1944damned if you damned if you don't. You laugh at Garcia shouldn't they push their younger talent? or should they push the older ex WWE guys. AEW will never win in the minds of the weirdo trolls.
@@mr.montana1384 I can get that you need to push your younger guys. I just think AEW over pushes younger guys it never feels natural and you see right though it. Much like smiling babyface Rock back in the old WWF. As for the ex WWE guys they should be teaching younger AEW talent how it's done in 4 to 7 minute TV matches. Yet we all heard the stories that the younger AEW guys all think they are stars that know everything about the business. They take no advice from veterans.
Tony obviously is feeling a lot of terror throughout all of this. But watch him at exactly 2:30. There is a small moment there where the only thing in the world he wants... is one of those cupcakes.
When you win the world title, are you going to bring up legal issues from ten years ago? No, because that would be sad and ungrateful Did Adam Page go into business for himself with one cryptic line in a promo segment for a title match where Page did the job for Punk? No. So Punk wasn't spot on This is captivating stuff but it isn't the truth
@@scottroberts7103 and at other points he showed strong disagreements. Like when punk said he wants me to work with assholes or whatever he said and then kawn just continues with nevertheless.
That was sus af haha but nevertheless that’s prob like fuck wish this water can choke me to death and get me out of this haha poor tk bro he’s prob like I wanted to book something great but he prob thought this clashing of the egos would ever fuck this up.
I think the drinking from the cup was his way of masking his response or dealing with anxiety because he was clearly uncomfortable and didn't know how to react
As someone who worked there for 5 years and all through the pandemic, I think that CM Punk severely underestimates how difficult it is to manage a Target 😂
And it may come as no surprise but the Army too. However, I suspect Jarheads have it even worse. That's assuming there's a Jarhead capable of recognizing such an issue, instead of BEING the issue...
The thing is, if AEW fails then Tony will be fine. He might be bummed, but he'll still have more money than he'll ever need. If it fails, it's the wrestlers who will suffer, and it'll be their own faults.
Only thing is I think that he didn't think this through of how things were gonna go especially with having all these big egos.. yea Vince was a jerk but he knew how to keep everyone in check . WCW hands it's down fall cause everyone wanted to do their own thing.
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 How will AEW fail though? If impact and other minor orgs can survive.. I'm fairly certain the second largest promotion in the world can.
Way to go Tony, The Elite, Jack Perry you all pushed your only million view draw back to WWE Where he’s super happy and doing great. So actually thank you
Once again Denise, you get the best quality footage. Punk is fired up throwing shots left, right and centre pipebomb levels. FTR and Punk VS The Elite book it Tony!
That wasn't a pipe bomb. That was him throwing a tantrum about a lower midcard guy. There was no story or anything to push. He just complained about dirt sheets
@@adamirishconundrum851 That actually wouldn’t be a bad idea. I don’t drink either but I’m also really happy with where I’m at in life. Punk just always seems like he’s miserable and on edge
This media scrum was indeed one of the most explosive moments in professional wrestling history. CM Punk's raw and unfiltered comments not only shook the foundations of AEW but also highlighted the deep-seated issues within the company. His willingness to openly criticize his colleagues and the company's management was both shocking and refreshing. It showed a side of Punk that fans had always known existed but rarely saw in such a public forum. The aftermath of this media scrum has been nothing short of dramatic. The fact that CM Punk, a man who had sworn off WWE, found himself back in talks with them speaks volumes about the state of AEW. It’s a testament to how toxic the environment must have been for him to consider returning to a place he once despised. This moment will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point, not just for Punk, but for the wrestling industry as a whole. Tony Khan's role in this saga is also worth noting. His efforts to mend the relationship between Punk and WWE, whether intentional or not, have had a significant impact. It’s a reminder that in the world of professional wrestling, alliances and rivalries are ever-changing, and sometimes, the most unexpected outcomes can occur. And yes, Punk's line, "I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm f'cking tired, and I work with f'cking children," is iconic. It encapsulates the frustration and exhaustion that many wrestlers feel but rarely voice. It's a line that will be quoted for years to come, a symbol of Punk's no-nonsense attitude and his commitment to speaking his truth, no matter the consequences.
@@tonyjackson4078 why is everybody on cm punk's ass? Isnt this what everybody wanted? Everyone wanted the mean and heel cm punk and now your getting him so what's the fuckin problem? And I bet if mjf did this yall would be praising him like a god when he's just a cm punk wannabe
Here's how a real booker should book this coming Wednesday: MJF starts with a promo. He will vent and get the crowd all excited. He will not leave the arena until Khan gives him a title shot at Punk. So the viewers get MJF at the beginning and they stick around because he will show himself backstage one hour later. First match: Miro takes on Malaki Black. Jayme Hayter confronts Brit Baker about costing her the title at the PPV. After the confrontation, have Excaliber say that Brit Baker will face Jaime Hayter next week for the #1 contender match. Second match: FTW vs Gunn Club for #1 contenders match for AEW tag titles. The Young Bucks and Omega walk backstage and see Danielson and Claudio. The Bucks tease Danielson and Claudio for losing at the PPV. Danielson issues a challenge to the Bucks and Omega. Then Moxley shows up claiming that he, too lost at the PPV, so why not put up those shiny belts up during the Main Event tonight against the three losers from the PPV. It's official, the Bucks and Omega vs Danielson, Claudio, and Moxley for the trios title in the main event. MJF is causing ruckus backstage trying to get a title shot with Punk in his home state of NY at the Arthur Ashe stadium. But instead runs into Wardlow, both have a stare-down and keep going their own way. Third match: Tay Melo vs. Ruby Soho in a falls count anywhere match. Sammy tries to interfere and then Eddie Kingston and Eddie are fighting all over the arena. Fourth match: Samoa Joe vs Giant pinhead Singh in a short match that has Miro come out and challenge Samoa Joe for a title match next week. Shiavaone interviews CM Punk. MJF comes out and surrounds the ring with his cronies. Punk accepts the match at Ashe Stadium. Darbi, Sting, and the Acclaimed come out to help Punk in what turns out in a slug fest. Punk goes after MJF, but MJF escapes without contact. Wardlow defends TV title vs. anyone (open challenge) and Powerhouse Hobbs comes out and takes the challenger. Back and forth match. Ricky Starks costs Hobbs the match setting up a rematch between Hobbs and Starks at Ashe Stadium. Jade Cargill is being interviewed backstage and Serena Deeb comes to congratulate her on being undefeated. Deebs makes a remark that her opponents so far have not been good opponents and Jade should give Deebs an opportunity. Cargill hesitates and says that if Deebs can defeat Hikaru Shida on Rampage, she can have that opportunity. Main Event: Bucks and Omega vs BCC for the Trios titles. Great match all the way when Adam Page comes over to interfere on the Bucks and Omega's behalf, Regal leaves commentary to confront Adam Page and Page gives Regal a Buckshot lariat on the arena floor. Moxley gets distracted and is rolled up by Omega for the pin. The Elite leave with Adam Page with the titles. A show like this will give us quality guys top to bottom.
Punk has been in the Wrestling Business Longer than Tony has. Tony is already the Boss so money is never an issue for him so I’m sure he doesn’t mind taking pointers here and there to improve his management skills
Yes thank you because now he is on FIRE...and this is being back in wwe for 6 months amd only wrestled once at royal rumble...now injured he made a HUGE moment at mania 40, is KILLING it against drew amd on the mic, and it makes it so hes injured but we all are waiting for him to b able to wrestle again. It keeps us watching( not that we wouldnt be watching him) but just proven he doesnt need to even wrestle to be over hardcore in wwe. So now the drew fued is building in spectacular fashion ,from BOTH men, and when they finally meet in the squared circle for a match it is going to be months of pent up aggression and im "all in" for the banter and the actual match(es) they are going to have...
It’s almost a year later but watching this back when punk mentioned mark henry as one of the great minds in their locker room alongside dean malenko and jerry Lynn its really cool to me. Like one of those guys is definitely not like the others, but he still appreciates Henry as a great mind and talent in the business. As he should 👏🏻
Henry worked for WWE from 1995. And if we're being completely honest, but the later stages of his career, he was a significantly better promo than Malenko or Lynn ever were. Who ever had a problem with Mark Henry? More to the point, who was brave enough to step to Henry? There's a story (with video evidence too) that Vince and other management thought it would be funny to tell Henry he had a match but he didn't. So they sent him to the ring and just left him standing there like an idiot. Henry waited nearly 10 minutes before he realised Sin Cara was not coming out. A visibly pissed off Henry walks to the back. It's been reported Henry was so angry he damaged equipment and everybody avoided the incredibly angry worlds strongest man. Henry has said, the next day, Vince called him into his office and sincerely apologised. This is same guy, who stepped in the middle of a Lesnar Jericho confrontation, but he wanted nothing to do with a PO Mark Henry lol. Henry actually did say, receiving a personal apology from Vince, showed Vince actually did value him.
Listing to this again and you know.....for all the people saying Punk buried Tony and the entire company, he praised the fact that AEW has great wrestling minds backstage, a strong roster, is worried about Adam Cole's health, praised Danhausen for his boots of all things and said MJF is very talented....... this doesn't sound like a guy burying a company, more like calling out the EVPs and Hangman Page. When Punk says that it's not Tony's position to make it clear, I don't see that as Punk burying Tony Khan at all. Punk's merely stated that guys who are (and should act like) EVPs should know better than to not address the issue of the Cabana rumours with Punk, instead of seemingly ignoring it and siding with their friends.....mainly, Hangman Page. But at the same time, if TK knew this rumour issue was becoming a problem, then address it. Punk wanted it handled in private and no one gave Punk that consideration. Frankly, Punk spilling it all at the scrum was the picture of a guy who had enough, was frustrated that it wasn't handled in private, so he brought it up publicly. Clearly, thata finally caught the attention of the EVPs. Was it a bad look for Punk....yes, but not by his choice.......he was pretty much forced into this.
@@chickmagnetpunkcmpunkbesti8896 oh, come on... this is Punk we're talking about. He built his career on never being the goody two shoes, quiet little choir boy. People love him because, as he put himself "I have the balls to say things that nobody else has the balls to say." Hope he comes back soon and all this crap gets cleared up. I miss him too, but this *is* his hill to die on, and I respect him for standing his ground. :')
@@canucklehead9250 I agree with u,but because of this bullshit they are trying to cut him off. Even from the new AEW video game:(,this sucks cause I wanted that game because of PUNK. HOPE we hear from him soon.
He didn’t bury the company or Tony himself but he did bury and completely undermined and disregarded Tony’s authoritative position in the company as the boss. He made Tony look like his consultant or his shaky lawyer.🤣🤣
@@dntwasteit8547 I'd suggest that Tony undermined himself by not dealing with this earlier, by getting Punk, Cabana and The Elite together and hashing the whole situation out...... especially after Hangman's comments to Punk. My big takeaway is that no one in a position of authority addressed the rumours with all parties before it got out of hand.
you're doing the lord's work Denise, thank you for this video as well as the MJF world champion interview promo because your video is 1000 times better than the official AEW footage.
in the MMA Hour interview, Punk said everything he said here was "nothing he (Tony) had never heard before" and that Tony wasn't doing anything to stop it. He told Tony numerous times that he wasn't gonna like the way Punk was going to handle it. Tony knew this was coming and it's his fault. Punk was always in the right and time continues to be on his side as every day goes by.
One thing you’ve got to say about Vince. Nobody would EVER dare try this with him. Even those who worked for him but didn’t like him… they at the very least respected the shit out of him. Tony on the other hand… I think he seems too soft to wrangle a bunch of egos in the wrestling business. He totally lost control here.
If my employee handled himself like punk just did. He would be fired right then and there. It is understandable he is upset about what happened but whining and complaining about having to do your job is a sign you need to go.
@@Brinton_Callahan Exactly. There’s a time and place. But it’s not unreasonable to expect people to conduct themselves a certain way while on the clock. I’m still willing to consider that this is a work (and if it is, it’s a damn good one) But if it’s a shoot… I’d be starting to think that all the past issues he had with companies and people is HIS fault. Because we’re starting to see a trend here.
Nick, why do you care? Why do wrestling fans suddenly CARE about HR protocol and how people should conduct themselves? THIS IS AN INDUSTRY ABOUT FAKE FIGHTS AND FAKE CONFLICTS. Locker room fights have been happening since the beginning of the industry and that was how beefs got settled!
@@SteelSunday a lot of guys see Vince as a father figure. Even if they don't agree with him they have respect for him like Brock Lesnar, who walked out when he retired. Tony gets stepped on by everyone cause no one respects him.

The one thing I will say about this, is that Punk never talked about Colt until this moment. Not once. To continually have it thrown back in his face when he finally returned to wrestling, having found his love for it again, must have made him angry. It also must have hurt him. Colt was his friend for a very long time. Despite his feelings about him now, to lose a friend, especially in such a public and harsh way, must have hurt. People preying on that because they are petty and childish would piss me off too.
CM Punk: They're alot of guys I wish I was in the same locker room with 10 years ago Also CM Punk: I’m tired of wrestling these kids who think they know everything
He didn't expect them to be a bunch of premadana ballerinas. He thought people still listened to the advise of the stars who came before them. He was wrong. Also you can see why AEW hasn't taken off the way it should have. If the talent thinks they know everything and think they don't need to improve that's a big problem
@@Mr_Leo_DS yes clearly you don't listen because if you did you would know punk wasn't talking about the young guys not taking advise from him. He name dropped a few agents, guys like mark Henry, who try and give the young guys advise in the back. That is the problem with you young people today. You said it yourself "I wouldn't listen to punk either". That's just dumb. Guys like punk, Mark Henry and all the agents in the back have decades of experience. They know what it takes to be successful in the wrestling business. Yet they don't want to listen. They don't want to improve. That's so typical

@@C3H4O4 I mean, there was just a major fallout in his company. I couldnt hold it against him.
lol scrolled up after reading this comment and Tony was staring at the bag full of cans.
This media scrum was indeed one of the most explosive moments in professional wrestling history. CM Punk's raw and unfiltered comments not only shook the foundations of AEW but also highlighted the deep-seated issues within the company. His willingness to openly criticize his colleagues and the company's management was both shocking and refreshing. It showed a side of Punk that fans had always known existed but rarely saw in such a public forum.
The aftermath of this media scrum has been nothing short of dramatic. The fact that CM Punk, a man who had sworn off WWE, found himself back in talks with them speaks volumes about the state of AEW. It’s a testament to how toxic the environment must have been for him to consider returning to a place he once despised. This moment will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point, not just for Punk, but for the wrestling industry as a whole.
Tony Khan's role in this saga is also worth noting. His efforts to mend the relationship between Punk and WWE, whether intentional or not, have had a significant impact. It’s a reminder that in the world of professional wrestling, alliances and rivalries are ever-changing, and sometimes, the most unexpected outcomes can occur.
And yes, Punk's line, "I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm f'cking tired, and I work with f'cking children," is iconic. It encapsulates the frustration and exhaustion that many wrestlers feel but rarely voice. It's a line that will be quoted for years to come, a symbol of Punk's no-nonsense attitude and his commitment to speaking his truth, no matter the consequences.

Here's how a real booker should book this coming Wednesday:
MJF starts with a promo. He will vent and get the crowd all excited. He will not leave the arena until Khan gives him a title shot at Punk. So the viewers get MJF at the beginning and they stick around because he will show himself backstage one hour later.
First match: Miro takes on Malaki Black.
Jayme Hayter confronts Brit Baker about costing her the title at the PPV. After the confrontation, have Excaliber say that Brit Baker will face Jaime Hayter next week for the #1 contender match.
Second match: FTW vs Gunn Club for #1 contenders match for AEW tag titles.
The Young Bucks and Omega walk backstage and see Danielson and Claudio. The Bucks tease Danielson and Claudio for losing at the PPV. Danielson issues a challenge to the Bucks and Omega. Then Moxley shows up claiming that he, too lost at the PPV, so why not put up those shiny belts up during the Main Event tonight against the three losers from the PPV.
It's official, the Bucks and Omega vs Danielson, Claudio, and Moxley for the trios title in the main event.
MJF is causing ruckus backstage trying to get a title shot with Punk in his home state of NY at the Arthur Ashe stadium. But instead runs into Wardlow, both have a stare-down and keep going their own way.
Third match: Tay Melo vs. Ruby Soho in a falls count anywhere match. Sammy tries to interfere and then Eddie Kingston and Eddie are fighting all over the arena.
Fourth match: Samoa Joe vs Giant pinhead Singh in a short match that has Miro come out and challenge Samoa Joe for a title match next week.
Shiavaone interviews CM Punk. MJF comes out and surrounds the ring with his cronies. Punk accepts the match at Ashe Stadium. Darbi, Sting, and the Acclaimed come out to help Punk in what turns out in a slug fest. Punk goes after MJF, but MJF escapes without contact.
Wardlow defends TV title vs. anyone (open challenge) and Powerhouse Hobbs comes out and takes the challenger. Back and forth match. Ricky Starks costs Hobbs the match setting up a rematch between Hobbs and Starks at Ashe Stadium.
Jade Cargill is being interviewed backstage and Serena Deeb comes to congratulate her on being undefeated. Deebs makes a remark that her opponents so far have not been good opponents and Jade should give Deebs an opportunity. Cargill hesitates and says that if Deebs can defeat Hikaru Shida on Rampage, she can have that opportunity.
Main Event: Bucks and Omega vs BCC for the Trios titles. Great match all the way when Adam Page comes over to interfere on the Bucks and Omega's behalf, Regal leaves commentary to confront Adam Page and Page gives Regal a Buckshot lariat on the arena floor. Moxley gets distracted and is rolled up by Omega for the pin. The Elite leave with Adam Page with the titles.
A show like this will give us quality guys top to bottom.

*inserts gif of Homer Simpson going to the bush
It’s almost a year later but watching this back when punk mentioned mark henry as one of the great minds in their locker room alongside dean malenko and jerry Lynn its really cool to me. Like one of those guys is definitely not like the others, but he still appreciates Henry as a great mind and talent in the business. As he should 👏🏻
Henry worked for WWE from 1995. And if we're being completely honest, but the later stages of his career, he was a significantly better promo than Malenko or Lynn ever were.
Who ever had a problem with Mark Henry? More to the point, who was brave enough to step to Henry?
There's a story (with video evidence too) that Vince and other management thought it would be funny to tell Henry he had a match but he didn't. So they sent him to the ring and just left him standing there like an idiot. Henry waited nearly 10 minutes before he realised Sin Cara was not coming out. A visibly pissed off Henry walks to the back. It's been reported Henry was so angry he damaged equipment and everybody avoided the incredibly angry worlds strongest man. Henry has said, the next day, Vince called him into his office and sincerely apologised. This is same guy, who stepped in the middle of a Lesnar Jericho confrontation, but he wanted nothing to do with a PO Mark Henry lol. Henry actually did say, receiving a personal apology from Vince, showed Vince actually did value him.
Listing to this again and you know.....for all the people saying Punk buried Tony and the entire company, he praised the fact that AEW has great wrestling minds backstage, a strong roster, is worried about Adam Cole's health, praised Danhausen for his boots of all things and said MJF is very talented....... this doesn't sound like a guy burying a company, more like calling out the EVPs and Hangman Page. When Punk says that it's not Tony's position to make it clear, I don't see that as Punk burying Tony Khan at all. Punk's merely stated that guys who are (and should act like) EVPs should know better than to not address the issue of the Cabana rumours with Punk, instead of seemingly ignoring it and siding with their friends.....mainly, Hangman Page. But at the same time, if TK knew this rumour issue was becoming a problem, then address it. Punk wanted it handled in private and no one gave Punk that consideration. Frankly, Punk spilling it all at the scrum was the picture of a guy who had enough, was frustrated that it wasn't handled in private, so he brought it up publicly. Clearly, thata finally caught the attention of the EVPs. Was it a bad look for Punk....yes, but not by his choice.......he was pretty much forced into this.

He didn’t bury the company or Tony himself but he did bury and completely undermined and disregarded Tony’s authoritative position in the company as the boss. He made Tony look like his consultant or his shaky lawyer.🤣🤣
@@dntwasteit8547 I'd suggest that Tony undermined himself by not dealing with this earlier, by getting Punk, Cabana and The Elite together and hashing the whole situation out...... especially after Hangman's comments to Punk. My big takeaway is that no one in a position of authority addressed the rumours with all parties before it got out of hand.
I love hearing the pen drop after Punk says, “Who fancies himself a journalist?”

@@meekrob there's a difference between young talent, and children
@@meekrob what he was reffering was to be working with immature people, not necessarily young.
in the MMA Hour interview, Punk said everything he said here was "nothing he (Tony) had never heard before" and that Tony wasn't doing anything to stop it.

Punk was always in the right and time continues to be on his side as every day goes by.
One thing you’ve got to say about Vince. Nobody would EVER dare try this with him. Even those who worked for him but didn’t like him… they at the very least respected the shit out of him. Tony on the other hand… I think he seems too soft to wrangle a bunch of egos in the wrestling business. He totally lost control here.
Yup, one is too uncaring and mean and the other is too nice, different ends of the spectrum.
If my employee handled himself like punk just did. He would be fired right then and there. It is understandable he is upset about what happened but whining and complaining about having to do your job is a sign you need to go.
@@Brinton_Callahan Exactly. There’s a time and place. But it’s not unreasonable to expect people to conduct themselves a certain way while on the clock. I’m still willing to consider that this is a work (and if it is, it’s a damn good one)
But if it’s a shoot… I’d be starting to think that all the past issues he had with companies and people is HIS fault. Because we’re starting to see a trend here.
Nick, why do you care? Why do wrestling fans suddenly CARE about HR protocol and how people should conduct themselves? THIS IS AN INDUSTRY ABOUT FAKE FIGHTS AND FAKE CONFLICTS. Locker room fights have been happening since the beginning of the industry and that was how beefs got settled!
@@SteelSunday a lot of guys see Vince as a father figure. Even if they don't agree with him they have respect for him like Brock Lesnar, who walked out when he retired.
Tony gets stepped on by everyone cause no one respects him.
CM Punk: *talks mad shit for nearly 23 mins straight*
Also CM Punk: "Contrary to popular belief, I'm a really nice guy."
Seeing punk talks mad shit about people he doesn’t like and that are spreading rumors about him for 23 minutes straight how about tht instead of acting like he’s just talking for no reason
People can be nice and have a terrifying temper.
Like me for example.
@@flutterboypr6481 lmfao ok ?
He's a nice guy that doesn't take people's shit.
@@Ryusuta best an only answer
CM Punk 2021: "I'm back, because I wanna work with that young talent that have the same passion I had stamped out."
CM Punk 2022: "I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm tired, and I work with children...I'm tired of wrestling these kids that think they know everything."
Here again after CM Punk got fired from AEW thanks to the BRAWL IN. 😂😂😂
Here again after Drew McIntyre threw shade at CM Punk on his WWE return.
"Welcome, everybody, to Monday Night RAW (WWE). The land where it feels everyone has lost their mind recently. Liars, hypocrites, cowards, just plain idiots. Apparently, you can get fired, released, leave, do what you want for a bunch of time, come back to the company, and you’re instantly forgiven these days."
Young talent and children aren't the same.
Hangnail Adam Page literally said he doesn't listen to veterans. That's not how wrestling works
@@Iwantedtoleavethis if you had a brain youd know his advice comments were sound and is what most wrestlers do. Listen to advice, take it, but ultimately you make yourself out there and figure yourself out, not all advice is good. Jericho didnt listen to veteran Vampiro about wearing a loin cloth...cm punk didnt listen to tony atlas advice...maybe punk shouldve listened to HHH and Vince back then too, disrespectful huh?
@@topvillainy punk didn't listen to undertaker advice in 2009
Now lecturing page lol
@@montaigne3967 if you really want to hammer it home Punk creatively argued all the time even with The Rock about their big title match. Shouldnt he just shut up and listen to The Rock? Hes become very dislikable. To slander a top guy in AEW over THAT, comments in a random interview? Man, Punks fallen. Good riddance
I still come back to this every now and then. It's still absolutely brilliant lol
I come back to hear the conviction in his voice when he says "Empty headed fucking dumb fuck" LMAO
This man was made for wrestling. Not to be your friend or a nice guy. But for wrestling he is one of the best there is left.
Yeah but only in your dreams 🤣😂
He’s here to make money not friends ;)
@@Daniel-Rain-YT shut up d!ck

@@burhan.k.r.n1164 Get out of my sight 🤡 behind a monitor, get off CM Skunk's tiny pee pee lmao 🤣😂
“The grass is greener where you water it”…love that
Tony legit looks like he's tripping baIIs throughout this entire thing from the very start. 🤣
lmao!
Tony had a great seat. Punk is passionate and had to address the indie darlings such as young bucks.
Brilliant pay per view. Enjoyed vlogging my adventure attending the spectacle
th-cam.com/video/FTrDjAUs2Mc/w-d-xo.html
I always thought Tony was blasted on coke.
I noticed that too lol. Probably nerves as he is a young guy with a company still growing in popularity, good for him & good for AEW
@@Stuart267 good way to see how he should conduct those media post shows lol
The one thing I will say about this, is that Punk never talked about Colt until this moment. Not once. To continually have it thrown back in his face when he finally returned to wrestling, having found his love for it again, must have made him angry. It also must have hurt him. Colt was his friend for a very long time. Despite his feelings about him now, to lose a friend, especially in such a public and harsh way, must have hurt. People preying on that because they are petty and childish would piss me off too.
There’s something just so chaotic about Punk airing all his dirty laundry out to the press while also calmly chowing down on those muffins…
With a bloody face lol
He eat like a pig XD
dude his name is Punk... So he acts like a punk Pu$$Y
It’s fucking iconic
yeah... he's just a spoiled brat...
Rewatching this ±4 months later and this is still crazy to watch...2022 was definitely one of, if not THE most insane year in wrestling
I swear 2022 was pure wild shit
2022 ain't seen nothing yet 😂😂😂
Even crazier now
Where's the lie tho 😂
2023 would now like a word
Who's here because CM Punk returned to WWE?
He’ll be better now that he’s back in WWE. There’s no children working for them
I am lol
@@VAA808 Also WWE won't tolerate and handles this kind of shit professionally lol.
Here
Watching this now, I hadn’t realized how much Punk was burying Tony WHILE HE WAS RIGHT THERE.
14/10
Tony literally looks like he's going to cry at some points
CM Punk: They're alot of guys I wish I was in the same locker room with 10 years ago
Also CM Punk: I’m tired of wrestling these kids who think they know everything
to be fair, I'm sure Punk expected more out of the EVPs when he first got to AEW.
He didn't expect them to be a bunch of premadana ballerinas. He thought people still listened to the advise of the stars who came before them. He was wrong. Also you can see why AEW hasn't taken off the way it should have. If the talent thinks they know everything and think they don't need to improve that's a big problem
RIGHT
@@irishpanic people can choose to listen to advice from who they want, I wouldn't listen to Punk either
@@Mr_Leo_DS yes clearly you don't listen because if you did you would know punk wasn't talking about the young guys not taking advise from him. He name dropped a few agents, guys like mark Henry, who try and give the young guys advise in the back. That is the problem with you young people today. You said it yourself "I wouldn't listen to punk either". That's just dumb. Guys like punk, Mark Henry and all the agents in the back have decades of experience. They know what it takes to be successful in the wrestling business. Yet they don't want to listen. They don't want to improve. That's so typical
You can see on Tony’s facial expressions during this video he is having an inner panic attack😂. He went from every emotion during the media scrum 😳
It looks like he's doing those faces on purposes
Panic? Both he and punk are practically nearly laughing at how easily some of you are falling for it 😂😂😂 they are literally saying "these guys are easily baited"
I can feel it in Thumbnail! 🙂✌️
he needs to be the fukin boss and call it. punk thinks he can do whatever he wants
Looked like he was going to be sick not even a minute into this.. he knew where this was going🤣
“im hurt, im old, and im tired” literal mood
Only a literal idiot would say that. This man's in better health and shape than you. I can guarantee your cardio is not even close
“and i work with children” yes you do, punk
This was literally the start of the cm punk returning to WWE moment. Right here is when it started the spiral out of AEW right back into WWE
I love Punk taking time from his rant to put over, of all things, a hometown bakery.
I don't eat that type of food, but may just because CM Punk does!
And a shoe, and Adam Cole.
@@aeso3555 not just any shoe!
@@TraumaER if you have a 20+ minute wrestling match you already burned off your pastries.
@@petebreadwards8737 it’s crazy how tired you get. I know running the ropes itself isn’t exactly like running around a track. But then add the bumps and it is pretty exhausting.
Tony looks so uncomfortable and scared, it's unreal
He's coked out of his mind.
He looks like his high is being blown for real
Damn this is blowing up
Play Hades
@@yumnits2946 good game
He’s a fan. Not a booker, not an owner, a fan.
Tony’s facial expressions change so much throughout this presser, he went from 😬 to 😯 to 😀 to 😐 and back to 😬 and 😨
He tweakin
Cocaine's a helluva drug
It's that crack my nigga
it’s called stimulant abuse
he just got done ripping some fat lines
Anyone here after listening to the MMA Hour podcast with Ariel Helwani? Punk just burned Tony Khan and the elite to a burning crisp lol.
From thankful to ungrateful, right? You are on the right side now buddy 😂
@@C-Y-M after hearing the whole story, I’m definitely on Punk’s side.
@@C-Y-MRiley from what I've heard the footage that Tony Khan released approved the exact point that punk was saying in the MMA tour, I mean it's not exactly as though he was lying, and it's not necessarily a bad thing to be on his side, plus I mean it makes sense that one would sour on this promotion very quickly, given that people just fighting the locker rooms like a bunch of high school kids (maybe not that bad but it's been happening a lot)
