quote:

During AEW Collision Saturday, a graphic ran saying that Young Bucks will present backstage footage from AEW All In, and will discuss for the first time. Many took this as being some sort of troll or bait, but everyone around the situation we've spoken to at least claims that it is genuine, and footage from the CM Punk/Jack Perry altercation is expected to air. Specifically, it was reiterated to us by numerous people in AEW that the company isn't going to falsely promote something, much less like that.

The talent and staff that immediately inquired were told that the plan is legitimately to air the footage.

Regarding questions of legalities, that doesn't appear to be an issue.

It is worth noting that Young Bucks are involved in a tag team tournament that FTR are still active in, the latter of whom are publicly close with CM Punk. When we asked talent and staff on the roster how they thought that would work out, one veteran said "I'd be surprised if FTR weren't given a heads up. I can't say for certain they were, but if I know Tony the way I think I do, they would have at least been given a fair warning it was coming because he respects them a lot."

Those in AEW we've spoken to say that they're of the belief that the video was enough for the company to make a clean split without much of an issue or a legal battle. The footage hasn't been made available internally to anyone we've spoken.

My god.

if this is just a massive bait and switch after all of this, does it burn aew good will with the dirt sheets? is it just a lame promotional tactic that WON readers vote high up?

This is 100% because they know Punk already violated whatever NDA they agreed to by running his mouth at a Helwani softball question, and figured this was funnier/pettier than taking him to court and preventing themselves from moving on any earlier than years from now

And hell, it is funny, so

Again, SRS was saying he got this from people at WBD and outside the wrestling business, that'd be a pretty loving intricate bait and switch.

In the case that it was, yes, SRS and Meltzer would probably be real pissed.

Maybe they'll air the footage and sue Punk for violating the NDA.

Jesus Christ, this is one of those situations where literally everyone comes off loving TERRIBLY.

Also this is a hot take around these parts but I genuinely believe AEW's booking has gone to utter poo poo. FTR/Bucks again? Hard pass, even though it was obviously coming, and the rankings came back, but they are HILARIOUSLY nonsensical and don't matter worth a drat. TK's booking when he planned almost everything in advance was actually great, so basically like, the beginning through Hanger's title reign was great, everything since Punk came in has been a shadow of what AEW was.

only looks terrible for aew if it back fires or is just a Elite Bit after the hype, like why is elite presenting it why not Tony himself. As of right now its just feels desperate. Why not just be a youtube video upload, or some post on twitter?

On the one hand it would be very funny to see the footage of Punk going apeshit because he can't handle someone young enough to be his son showing him any sort of attitude that isn't blindly worshiping the ground he walks on.

On the other hand it's not helping to beat the WCW 2000 Allegations.

The Bucks are gonna use the footage (which is going to be real) to lift Jack Perry's suspension and bring him into the New Elite.

It looks terrible because they're reacting to someone being petty and childish by...being quite possibly even more petty and childish.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience, but replace it with "never get into a petty contest with CM Punk".

OR if they're doing this for a wink wink nudge nudge "funny" angle or whatever, that's an even worse look.

Yeah and they dont actually need to air the footage to do that with all the other winking and nudging they're doing for the New Elite gimmick already. So it already also being a Young Bucks/Elite bit is making it lame. Why do some shoot worked shoot poo poo about a guy not in your company anymore but using him as a thing to get ratings for your show and an angle? That's whats making it feel incredibly desperate and carny

Like what does actually doing this do? Prove aew right? prove Punk wrong? Guess what in this current era no one will actually give a poo poo. The majority of AEW fans already dont care about Punk that much and the deranged WWE and Punk fans dont care what AEW says or shows. They could show Punk toppling tvs onto Tony Khan's head and the insane wwe fans on twitter will be like "HELL YEAH PUNK SHOW COKE HEAD TOONEY KHAN'T WHATS UP"

Since it's the Hell thread, I'll agree. AEW's booking has been so bad the past like 8 months or so (since around Wembley), but I really feel like Brawl Out is when the wind got let out of the sails for the whole company. The MJF face run was unwatchable and while Joe winning and the continental tournament were good, I still feel like it's impossible to care about anyone outside of the world title scene and whoever the new signing of the week is, because those are the only people who are guaranteed to show up on TV.

But you're right, everyone here sucks. Punk's a stupid petty rear end in a top hat, Perry's a total dipshit, and Tony has too much of a weird vindictive internet brain. Hopefully our big hawaiian boy looks cool breaking it up at least.
