Sydney Bottocks posted:Given that Tony Khan is 40 and CM Punk is literally only four years older than him, even if you don't take into account that Punk is a pro wrestler and Tony Khan isn't, this is a particularly dumb take I mean I'm sure he was scared and he was probably saying it like as a legal justification, but if he really felt Punk was going to actually kill him with his bare hands and jiu jitsu skills, then, well...

What TK really should have done was hit Punks nose with a rolled up newspaper until he calmed down

You're right, the scrawny guy who's not an athlete had nothing to fear from the pro wrestler who spars with Malakai Black E: also keep in mind that prior to Brawl Out, Punk and TK had been absolutely chummy, whenever they'd appear together in public they were all smiles and joking and TK looked like he couldn't believe that he was sitting next to CM Punk. And then, after the first brawl a year ago, he still bent over backwards to keep him around and keep him happy. Now imagine yourself in TK's place: just moments before the biggest show in your company's history, your employee and pal that you'd been previously getting along with so well, that you'd gone out of your way to try and keep happy, has just attacked another person right in front of you. And when you try to get him to stop, he then lunges at you as well, cursing you out, etc. He's a pro wrestler, while you are built like someone slapped a wig and suit on the tree from the Charlie Brown Christmas special. I feel pretty confident in saying that he very likely was fearful for his life in that situation. Sydney Bottocks fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Sep 8, 2023 |

Well, sure, I get it. I mean that's why I don't want to just call him a wuss. But realistically Punk probably wasn't going to strangle him to death in front of witnesses. Although, he IS a wrestler...

That does sound dangerous. I thought the thing was the "lunge." I put " lunge" in quotes because Dave Meltzer reported that he has backstage sources who say it was "much more than a lunge" but I don't thing he elaborated. Oh, Dave.

Although, he IS a wrestler... This is a really stupid way to look at such situations and makes you look like a huge Internet Tough Guy.  Surely a rational person would know that physical interaction with lethal outcome is highly unlikely in that situation.

Like yes, fearing for his life, I won't even argue that part is dumb. Now, to look at it after the fact as fans and think CM Punk was actually going to kil! Tony Kahn...I mean, sure, I guess a monitor could have fallen on his head. I'll stop there. This is dumb. Sorry.

What is being said is "It's plausible that TK did actually fear for his life in that situation". That's a bit of a difference from "I BELIEVE PUNK WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY MURDER TONY KHAN", which is an argument that only you seem to be making (and then arguing against) here.

no one thinks cm punk was going to kill tony kahn stop being a dumbass what people are saying is that cm punk is an emotionally unstable rear end in a top hat that could have seriously hurt tony kahn and people who arent billionaires by getting into a fight back stage surrounded by heavy equipment which is why he was fired with cause within a matter of days because legal saw the videos and immediately realized punk was a giant liability

I remember triple h hosed up some backstage crew member's leg by pushing over an equipment box if you watched the footage it super looked like nothing but I guess those equipment boxes weigh like ten thousand pounds and the edges are made of swords

and furthermore tony kahn exposed the business by not allowing cm punk to brutally murder jack perry in a shoot fight for disrespecting him and should be blacklisted from wrestling

The funniest part about guys like Cornette saying TK is a pussy for being scared is that they're comparing him to the old-school promoters from back in the day, many of whom were former wrestlers themselves and could handle themselves in a fight with unruly talent (or were packing a gun). If TK has ever been in an actual fistfight in the whole of his life, I'd be amazed. The sons of billionaires don't get into fistfights. They don't have to.

Both have talked about their own progressive views and ideals and railed against conservative viewpoints, while also fully embracing the worst aspects of toxic masculinity.

Like, there are so many examples of great wrestlers with toxic personalities that one is tempted to suggest that being great at wrestling requires being a total shithead. But then you watch New Day playing some video games or Daniel Bryan doing anything and you quickly realize that Punk and Cornette have no excuse. They are assholes.

Not anything to do with Punk, AEW or anything.. Stevie Richards has a small YouTube channel where he goes over stuff like bad moves, how he takes moves, and his own botches. It's pretty interesting, but, I am still a big mark for Stevie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-B8O9zQ9q8
