There was talk of the mood decreasing backstage after the footage aired, but more towards of the dread of "social media bullshit" than anything else
Young Bucks were fine with doing the angle
FTR were given a heads up and signed off on it. Were in the line of thinking that if it adds to the storyline or buzz around it, that's fine.
Sapp has heard of no issues between Punk and FTR
The hope is that this benefits Jack Perry, whos wrestling in Chicago, and when time comes to bring back to AEW they can capitalize on the heat
People in AEW felt like they were in a no-win situation after CM Punk went to Helwani and the other "shots" coming from the WWE side during the last week
Talent laughs off the idea that this is "a company killer"
AEW expected the online discourse
So basically, yeah, all expected really
It's funny because so much of this shit was done throughout the 90's, Eric tried to fight Vince McMahon, DX in the DX Jeep invading WCW, this happens all the time!
So, I will be going on a blocking spree (which I never wanna do) because listen:
I don’t care if you like CM Punk, but for fucksake, hold him accountable for his actions. Saying Tony should’ve forced the Young Bucks to work with him is wrong on so many levels. Nobody should have to work with someone that toxic, because if they were in the ring together, he could’ve seriously hurt them. He could’ve seriously hurt them outside of the ring too. Same with Jack Perry. This has been normal behavior for this man which should never be condoned, but Punk fans will ride him into the sunset on such a high pedestal.
He has done this shit in so many companies, it’s actually quite sad and nothing new. I’m a former CM Punk fan (WITH A FUCKING PUNK TATTOO) and I know someone personally who’s actually hung around Punk.
They too are no longer a fan.
Brawl Out and the ALL IN incident should’ve never happened, but guess who caused all this shit? CM Punk. He has always been the “child” he called everyone else. Like I said, I don’t care if you’re a fan but don’t fucking claim he’s innocent and blame the people who worked hard to fix the shit he caused.
HE ASSAULTED HIS CO-WORKERS AND BOSS. I dare you to do that to one of your co-workers and your boss and see if you don’t get terminated, or worse, put in jail.
He is NOT INNOCENT. HE’S NOT RIGHT. NOTHING. And if you cannot hold him accountable and stop blaming everyone else for HIS actions. You’re JUST AS BAD.
AEW never needed Punk and he got salty and started running his mouth. He wasn’t right. HE NEVER WAS RIGHT.
This is my LAST time speaking on this and if you have a problem? Block me. If the roles were reversed, you’d all be up in arms. Keep that same energy with your pathetic savior – voice of the voiceless and a major hypocritical liar.
END OF STORY.
PS. Any Punk fans who hold him accountable are good in my book. 🖤
