It’s weird to say you hate him imo.

I don’t hate CM Punk, he’s not exactly up there with wrestlings greatest monsters who deserve that kind of derision, it’s just really loving funny that he self-destructed repeatedly.

Making fun of the fact he just couldn’t stop stepping on his own dick is also really funny.

This is more or less where I'm at as well. His crimes pale in comparison to some of the worst loving pieces of poo poo in wrestling, even today, but at the end of the day, Punk couldn't stop getting in his own way by virtue of his inability to get over himself. The endless parade of drama that seems to mysteriously occur only when he's around is exhausting as poo poo, so I might as well laugh at it.

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

The logic on the first part is pretty out there. AEW needs to be more family friendly to appeal to kids. Okay, that's a valid opinion, but then he says all the adult fans became fans because of the wild and crazy attitude era. So like.. do kids like violent stuff or family friendly stuff?

he's saying that most fans are adults who are trying to get their children into wrestling now (based on an informal survey of his imagination) and they want to watch more family oriented programming, such as the one owned by a serial rapist where everyone refers to the top female star as "mami"

Wrestling didn't exist until Vince McMahon created it in the 1990s and it didn't get good until Roman Reigns became the Tribal Chief.

If it makes you feel better, a lot of us here including myself were around for all the Punk stuff that made us like him and now we all hate him just as much as anyone else :shrug:

He was favorite wrestler from like 2010-2013. His original white chicago flag shirt with the fist is one of the only wrestling shirts I've ever owned.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after Brawl Out because I can believe the Elite are super unlikable. But he's just a consistent loving rear end in a top hat and it's probably good for both him and AEW that he's gone.

Also he's probably not even top 50 worst people in wrestling history.

Tony Khan literally went on tv and said Punk was fired with cause, and said his life felt threatened.

I’m just speculating here, but I suspect whatever Punk did backstage (on camera!) was so over the line and unprofessional that he’s lucky not to be facing criminal charges.

you choke out one coworker--just the one, for goodness' sake, and not even an important one--and shove over a paltry few thousand dollars worth of heavy A/V equipment while calmly and logically explaining yourself, and the fascists at AEW come down on you like a ton of bricks for some reason :jerkbag:

Delighted that the "akshually Punk quit" cope is gaining traction. It will give decent cover for Punk not doing the wrongful termination suit they clearly really want him to.

You have to remember that these weirdos literally think that every single thing TK and the Elite say is a lie, and that everything Punk (or any other anti-AEW weirdo) says is 100% fact, regardless of any proof you can shove right in their faces

If Punk had never melted down or got into fights and was a regular dude backstage and somehow TK ended up selling AEW to Punk they'd all still say the same things. AEW is minor league, etc. They have yogurt for brains

He's not as much of a loon as Drake is, but he's a pretty outspoken evangelical Christian like a lot of wrestlers. He's also not really worth bringing back.

I'm sure punk not taking issue with this backstage is entirely unrelated to Bobby fish having a 2-0 record as a shoot fighter.

I don't know how any true wrestling fan can mark out for the New Testament. Jesus was a nepo hire (his dad ran the whole territory and kept putting other promotions out of business with his Commandments) and he was given a stable of like twelve guys to put him over, went over hunger and death and Satan himself, and when it was finally time to do the honors it was a schmozz that makes The Passion of the Cena look mild. It took like the whole world to beat him.

And then he kicked out at three.
