Generations Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Punk is clearly the problem, and continues to be the problem. - I will give him the credit, that Collision is way better than Dynamite, and he may or may not be contributing to that with his input. HOWEVER, this kind of behvior is absurd for a grown man and alleged professional. Especially given the circumstances of what transpired on the show and the build that is supposed to be happening for the biggest show in AEW history. Collision spoiler: Dude literally got choked out by Samoa Joe, who will be his opponent at All In. He shouldn't be talking trash to the live crowd post-match about Hangman not selling toys. I get it...he's treating the people who stayed after the show like they're all marks. BUT...he should still not be undermining such an important angle in that way. Do your job and send those people home wanting to watch Punk/Joe...why are we taking childish shots at Hangman again? Link to comment
Graeme Jones Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Lmfao. I gave it 6 months before CM Punk flaps his lips....and he does this. Link to comment
Generations Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 It's a shame...because I really don't think Punk is "wrong" about a lot of the things he has problems with in AEW, and like I said...Collision is absolutely better than Dynamite, and it MIGHT be due to his input. HOWEVER, everything about his approach bothers me. I'm legit tired of him being a child. Link to comment
922 Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Is AEW giving CM Punk stress? He's 44 but why does he look 55? lol. Carry on guys! I just had to say that. Link to comment
Generations Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Punk has always looked haggard AF...(you'd think that being straight edge would have him looking healthy and youthful beyond his years)...but he probably just keeps his tension bottled up and never fully relaxes. People have always joked that he looks like more of a burnt-out crackhead than people who actually do drugs. Link to comment

Moving back to the issues regarding CM Punk and AEW, has CM Punk for the most part developed a reputation of being difficult to work with both on and off camera? Link to comment
Lunchbox Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Its wild because he can choose to work with people to make things better but he does that shit. From what i heard that show is way better than the wednesday show but ratings are starting to slip. Link to comment
Lunchbox Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Apparently there are reports now saying Hangman was told to stay away from Collision which is weird since Punks promo was unplanned. Its also funny because Punk told Khan he didn't want Nemeth in the locker room because of a tweet, dudes skin is thinner than Hogans. Link to comment
922 Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 News Source: “Punk cornered Nemeth in the locker room, got inches from his face, and angrily and aggressively asked if they had a problem or if they needed to settle things outside.” ^ That has to be for storyline purposes, there is no way that CM Punk is this type of A**Hole to work with.

Lunchbox Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 The said he confronted him because Punk didn't want negativity but if you leave it on twitter there isno negativity in the locker. Saw another report that said punk accused him of him saying that to get on the EVP's good side. Link to comment
Generations Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Like I said...it's a double-edged sword, because Punk and FTR are consistent in making Collision a better show...and I don't really give a damn about a guy like Nemeth. BUT...I still don't support this kind of stupid bullshit. - You could honestly tell that Punk and FTR had a bully mentality as soon as Punk returned. - That always came across as clear to me...that they were the veterans, and they were going to "lay down the law". Felt that in a big way as soon as it was announced that he was back. Link to comment
922 Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 The Veterans bullying the lower card wrestlers has been a tradition in WWE and I am assuming it's now a thing in AEW? The funny thing about the history of bullying fellow wrestlers is that it's always somebody that they know they can pick on. CM Punk could never do this to Brock Lesnar. If THIS is the true nature of CM Punk then frankly I have no respect for him whatsoever. At least when Hardcore Holly was a backstage bully it was because of steroids. I don't think that any of this is going to benefit CM Punk's career in the long run and hopefully AEW will have someone that can stand up to him. Link to comment
The Nerd Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 All of this is honestly making me love Punk more and more. Link to comment
Lunchbox Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just feel like whatever negatitivy in the company has been because of two people in Punk and Baker, which could be squashed quickly if Khan wasn't a fanboy. Link to comment
Generations Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 I used to be a fan of Baker...but I find it hard to choose her over Thunder Rosa at this point. I miss TR and wish she was back. There's definitely something going on there, and I don't think Britt is the degree of megastar that she gets treated as sometimes. She definitely could be. - She is in line to be that kind of star for AEW...she has the "it" factor. But that still doesn't mean that she is more important than anyone else...least of all Rosa.

Lunchbox Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I have a feeling that jey will be gone till its time for Roman to lose the belt. Link to comment
PaperThinWalls Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I’d give it two months. lol Link to comment
Kman Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 You can tell by how she referees that she's a massive mark for herself. Link to comment
Graeme Jones Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Just read on Twitter that Cash Wheeler has been arrested on a charge of aggravated assault involving a firearm. WTF?! Link to comment
PaperThinWalls Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 From the video: Cash turned himself in. $2500 bond. Not domestic related. Didn't know the people involved. Appears to be a road rage incident where Cash flashed a handgun. Link to comment
Generations Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 How stupid can you be, honestly...so close to the biggest night of his entire career... And screwed over his partner, to boot. Link to comment
The Nerd Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 That’s unfortunate. Link to comment
