Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think regardless of how anyone feels about the ethics or class or deservingness or whatever of airing the footage the construct of it was just weird. You had the heels showing the video as an excuse for why their loss to the faces doesn’t count, then you have the faces who were explicitly said to be friends of Punk do the big face promo, and then you have the heels jump them. I’m not surprised some fans chanted “CM Punk”. It was basically structured like a story where he would run in to save his friends against the jerk heels. It was weird.

Damn, this is good coffee.
They should have just fully owned it and had Tony come out and do a tight five about the footage instead of shoehorning it into an angle

I think a kind of clunky angle is way preferable to Tony Khan Presents Footage Of CM Punk Looking 10% Worse Than You Might Imagine, personally. In the end the majority of the airtime tonight surrounding The Tape was taken up by the Bucks cutting a good heel promo and FTR cutting a good face promo; I'll take that for an angle I wasn't particularly interested in before the spectre of All In Footage was introduced

AEW has certainly aired plenty of segments with significantly worse moments than backstage footage of a high-profile incident and ~20 seconds of suboptimal chanting. Hell, they aired a much worse segment within the past seven days

This is valid. It does seem a bit generous of them to make the Bucks the villain in all of this when outside of kayfabe it's Punk who can't shut the hell up about AEW.

He said in his Unrestricted podcast interview that he only wants to be onscreen as a wrestler if they can make it special and not just a nostalgia pop and I really do respect that but god what I wouldn't give to hear "K O W KINGS" one last time.

Well hey, at least we've got him vs Kazusada Higuchi in West Coast Pro on Sunday

Take that brain out, carefully scrub all the built up anger out of the wrinkles, put it back in.

Also: send Anna Jay to STARDOM for a year. If she improves as much as she seemed to with one match against Mariah May she'll return as the mighty God-Queen of women's professional wrestling.
