      Yeah. Punk has a part in what happened. He has to learn sometimes you need to filter. Especially when you sitting next to the perceived boss. Bucks have to realize that "hey this guy is really pissed "right or wrong." maybe we should wait to have a conversation. Maybe use a mediator. Tony issue is he is the boss in title. Vince has his history of dumb shit, but nobody ever doubted he was the boss. After Punk came back, the EVPs didn't do what you said. Wouldn't be men and just sit down with Punk. Like I said Punk has his part in it as well.

      Thats because Smarky Khan is a god damned imbecile.....The smark has all the booking in the world staring him right in the face a CMFTR v The Elite feud, a Punk v Jungle Boy feud but instead of being the boss and telling the precious EVPs man up, find their balls and be big boys. Its ridiculous how much money the LMFAO "Booker of the year" left on the table. All because he's more concerned with being a buddy than being the boss.
      The guy wants to smash his action figures together to come up with his so called booking. Meanwhile he has guys like Arn Anderson, Flair, Mark Henry etc. who he could be looking at for help in actually booking. The booking in AEW is trash, they have matches on cards just to have matches on cards, instead of building things that actually have a purpose. The "booker of the year" needs to hire some bookers or use the people he has who know what they're doing and start actually being a boss.

    Became a fan instantly, like a walking talking punk rock album with no filter.
    And that was just the promos, his matches, one of the first guys to really mix in MMA into his moveset.

    Complete package and was baffled it took as long as it did for the office to get a clue.

      He signed a multi year deal with all the promotions he’s been fired from so let’s just see how he settles in. Maybe he learned something this last time who knows but if he didn’t, he’ll have his ass out of this company too, he’s been fired from every single professional wrestling promotion he has ever entered into as well as the UFC because let’s be honest, he has a really bad fighter. I mean he might be able to wrestle but God he can’t fight. He looks horrible. It looks like a 12-year-old boy was just beating him sad really really sad. Actually he is definitely no Brock Lesnar, but he is very entertaining. He does speak well so let’s just see how far he goes in the corporate machine that he used to hate you know now that he’s seen a rock level and he can , you know come back from Hollywood where he failed to make it big because he needs the money and the ego boost and we’ll see if he plays his backstage games like he accuse them of doing because right now all I’m seeing is a fucking hypocrite this isn’t underdog, rebel punk. This is hypocrite, Phil old man .

    It is a bit surprising because Punk ain't like the other wrestler, he was extremely mad about them and butthurt. He didn't need to go to WWE too financially he was alright and could find a huge contract elsewhere too but i think he knows is reputation and career got hurt in AEW so he see WWE able to repair that. Look at what WWE did to Cody. WWE have a smarter fanbase than AEW which is like a super protective fanbase but goes on delusional comments to protect it and boost it that make no sense. The fanbase of AEW is one reason it doesn't bring other fans and Tony Khan didn't helped he went agressive right of the bat and was cocky and throwed insult at WWE Staff, WWE and is fanbase.

      Nobody is going to. Especially not when the owner is more concerned with being a buddy to the locker room, constantly catering to his precious EVPs and letting everyone do whatever they want. Tony Khan is garbage when it comes to booking, he's a smark smashing together action figures. He has several guys in the back who he could literally have do the booking, at the very least work with him on the booking. Not every talent has amazing ideas, you need to have a boss that can say no. You need to have bookers who actually know how to book.
      No company is ever going to compete with WWE when they're doing their best to only cater to the indie crowd. There is a ceiling on the indie crowd. You need to work on drawing in a general audience, not just the deathmatch crowd.

Whether it be Corey Graves quoting a line from a previous Punk promo, or Nakamura two weeks in a row hitting the GTS to even Becky Lynch using a direct CM Punk quote saying she’s the "catalyst for change”. Yes, they all seem like speculation, but like I said when it was darn near every week, you start to read between the lines.
