imagine being tony khan and coaxing your favorite wrestler out of retirement for years only to completely botch it by not taking away a mic from him when he's having a Muffin Meltdown and then delivering him giftwrapped to the competition, incredibly tragic

Yeah it was the week after All In, just feels like an apt picture for the occasion of the Protect Trans Kids shirt guy going to the Big Trump Fundraiser that takes Saudi blood money and spite sued him and fired him on his wedding

In all seriousness, TK really proved he was out of his depth at that media scrum, by not shutting Punk's mic off or ending it the moment he heard poo poo was going down. Even a store manager at a Target knows that when you have an employee going off in public about something (whether justified or not), you get them out of there and defuse the situation. You don't just let them rant about it to everyone within earshot. Same if there's a fight going on; you don't just sit there and wait for someone else to maybe handle it, you get the parties separated so things don't get completely out of control like they did at Brawl Out.

This is not a defense of anything Punk said or did, mind you, but rather a criticism of TK's lack of control and handling of the situation.

This is pretty funny and I'm glad CM Punk is far away from AEW but it would be especially funny if he interrupted Cody's story.

Anyone who celebrated Punk getting fired was celebrating the beginning of the end for AEW. Personally it brings me no pleasure that AEW is dying, but it is.

I watched my favorite company die when I was a kid so I’m prepared this time. I just hope The Invasion angle is better this time around.

Quoting this because I said it before Punk showed up in WWE but I mean it even more now
