If they ever make a movie about Vince, I hope they do it while he's still alive, and it takes so many liberties with his life story that it kills him.

I want the movie to portray his stepfather as a kind and noble person who Vince idolized, and is responsible for all of his success.

Also we'll need the cousin/leaves scene.

Clint Bobski was a name Jericho used in college video skits. Later in AEW he made a comedy segment that featured a woman named Patricia Bobski and WWE sent him a cease and desist, so he went and trademarked Clint Bobski.

The AEW/CM Punk stuff got even more hilarious in the past few days.

In review: CM Punk won a big title match at All Out, where he also injured himself. During the post-show press conference, he angrily went on a rant about various people in the AEW locker room, including Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. Kenny and the Bucks confronted him backstage and a fight happened. As news trickled in from both camps, it became increasingly apparent that Kenny and the Bucks confronted him in a relatively responsible and peaceful way, only for Punk and his buddy Ace Steel to go "THEY'RE COMIN' RIGHT FOR US!" and unload with chair throwings, punches, and arm bites. Everyone involved was suspended so the company could have a third party do an investigation.

Since then, Ace Steel has been let go from the company and a vignette was on Dynamite showing that the Elite will be back soon enough. Word has it that the investigation was very much in Kenny and the Bucks' favor. The company is almost definitely going to just buy out Punk's contract with a caveat that he can't go directly to WWE if offered. With things looking bad for Punk's reputation, his camp released some MORE insight into the big All Out fight.

It's hilarious because it doesn't really help his side. First, he did not believe that his rant was a big deal and it only became a big deal when the fight happened. Second, Punk was very afraid that Hangman Adam Page was going to shoot on him during their PPV match months ago, which is extra funny when you realize that Hangman is considered one of the nicest guys and Punk is a trained MMA fighter. Last and not least, Punk's dog had a vet appointment soon after the show and the doctor said that the dog had a couple loose teeth. Punk framed this in a way to make it seem like the Young Bucks just slammed the door open onto his dog's face and hosed him up, causing Punk to fly into a rage. Of course, the fact that nobody brought this up one iota in the last couple months until now says everything.

Meanwhile, Chris Jericho got in on the act by blatantly leaking it that he had a confrontation with Punk after the brawl about Punk being a locker room cancer. Punk told him to gently caress off. Jericho then became one of the locker room leaders along with Moxley and Danielson, helping him earn a contract extension. Even if Punk were to come back, there are plenty of top-ranking members of the locker room who just do not want to work with him.

You forgot to mention that Kenny and the Bucks brought the Chief Legal Officer with them when they confronted Punk. He started a fight in front of the head of the legal team. Also supposedly Kenny was worried about Punk's dog and handed him to said head of legal while Punk and Steel were going apeshit.

Meanwhile, half the internet is screaming that Punk is an angel who did no wrong, and these awful terrible no-good Elite ambushed him in his locker room because they were mad he was taking their private playground away from them, and just, ugh.

And yeah, maybe going to confront the guy immediately after the scrum when tempers were still hot was a bad call, they should have given it twelve hours for poo poo to cool a bit. But christ, did you see the scrum? He trashed the talent, he trashed the company, he trashed TK himself to his face. If I had been in TK's shoes, I wouldn't have managed to keep my cool and would have reprimanded him live on the spot, in front of God and the whole world.
