Yeah like...it was pretty easy to eyeroll the promo away at the time because of the source, the quality of WWE at the time, the lack of alternative, etc.

However, in 2023:

-We know HHH was/is genuine about believing it could probably be better and seeing that as his job. I won't get deep into it because that's a WWE discussion and I don't wanna get into those waters, I will just say that I believe that was sincere.
-There IS now a viable alternative, it happened when Punk wasn't there, it continued when he wasn't there, and did he contribute? Sure, I guess. But it's there and it is SOLID. Way more solid than TNA ever was.
-Punk is there as a part of this viable alternative, he came in way late, and he's literally making it all about himself while claiming he's not.

In this instance, HHH really was right.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Man went from being maybe my fav wrestler all time to I just want him to stay retired the next time he quits a place. Genuinely sad (but still hilarious obv) he couldn’t contain himself for even one preshow with all the people he dislikes forced to be in the same building as him

AEW sold a stadium show with no match announced, at this point the brand alone can draw. Just let Punk go, TK.

This is why I can't stand people insisting Punk is a draw. He gave AEW a boost when he first got there but fairly negligible after that, and Collision can't even crack 500k. If he is a draw he's not a very good one.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I'd say that the eventual shoot interview from Punk after this will be amazing, but no podcaster would risk the fury of Punk one day implying that they love their mother and help her out financially.

Updates per SI:

Suspension for both confirmed, indefinite pending investigation
Joe talked to Punk after the fight/before the match

Not outright said obviously but given everything else that's come out, it's likely that Joe stepping in like that is the reason (for better or worse) Punk didn't walk out on the show and of the company
