It's been weird listening to people like Alvarez and SRS actually entertain the idea that Punk is the devil when they're usually very strongly 'it's not a work' about most of these things, though at least in Bryan's case I think he's been actively getting dumber over the last few months.

CM Punk speculation is algorithm catnip at the very least on youtube. Anytime you can put his face in the thumbnail you get a huge spike

SRS at least has been pretty clear that he thinks there's like 0% chance Punk is the Devil but he thinks it would be a really good reveal.

It would be a good reveal but at the same time you then have to ask what kind of loving moron Tony Khan is to go through with a worked shoot that made his company look stupid as gently caress as well as likely damaged their business with people tuning out completely now that Punk is gone, and more importantly what bizarre parallel universe have we suddenly found ourselves in where narcissist king CM Punk agreed to go through with an angle that further tarnished his already lovely reputation?

Like yeah, there's all of that, the lost revenue from ticket sales because Punk hasn't been on Collision (unless he got injured and this was their way of writing him off so he'd have been gone anyway), the loss of trust from the locker room, but in the moment I'd pop for it, then I'd probably stop watching.

Firing Punk has done way more damage to the company than hiring Flair at this point, and probably will unless Flair ends up in the news again for a fresh round of outed criminality, but yeah point taken

Hiring Flair was not a smart move, but we'll have to see if Tony actually does really dumb poo poo like keeps him front and center, or if he's just being kind to a wrestling legend who is flat broke and giving him some pocket money to be a booster for Sting and then mostly stay home for a few years. Does Flair deserve that kindness? Probably not.

Is all the negative Flair stuff just from the plane ride from hell stuff where he took his dick out? Was there more that I missed?

It's always funny when people in the business are aware of characters posted in this thread, but seeing ROH/EVOLVE, CHIKARA and GCW all united against Tholzerman is especially funny. The guy was world class at annoying Leonards from Lenny to F. Chikarason.

Holzerman had a weird vendetta against Lenny, I forget why Chikarason hates him, might be general principle or might be from Holzerman and Stroud trying to get Daddy Magic and Cool Hand fired from CHIKARA.
