Making a big to do about airing salacious backstage footage on your main show, showing said (widely regarded to be disappointing) footage, and then getting pissed when people start sharing the footage online is peak meltdown behavior, I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us come May.

Attacking a character’s throne isn’t the same as insulting a guy’s wife. I don’t give a poo poo he can go on TV and call HHH’s kids stupid and say he hopes they get eaten by wild animals, I just don’t want anything bad to happen to Ospreay because of it because obviously Hunter is petty everyone knows that. If AEW fails he’ll probably just go back to NJPW anyway

wife?

I know EMF is largely not a serious poster but lol at thinking that Will would have trouble getting a job with WWE in the future if he wanted one

If Khan released him today, he would probably be on the next Raw or Smackdown and they'd be turning the promo into an angle

You didn't like the Cope/Penta match? I thought they were great. I also loved Mariah's match. She really elevates everyone she wrestles with. And the program after the match was gay as hell and I loved it.

I don't know what's not to like. He's old, he's grizzled, and he wrestles good matches but to each their own. I think you should go back and watch the Mariah match. It was real good and hard hitting - and the fact that it was against Anna Jay who is so inexperienced I think speaks to Mariah's skills as a wrestler.

I bought a ticket for the April 17 Dynamite a month ago, so I'm glad they got whatever that goofy poo poo was out of their system last night lol

I haven't watched the show regularly since last summer so I've gotta catch up on what's going on.

There was something significantly worse, that in his words would've lost them sponsors, that he spent so much energy arguing against that by the time it was all over, he didn't realize he'd gone on camera and implied Roman's leukemia was punishment from God until after it had already happened.

I think airing said footage nine months after the fact purely out of spite puts you cleanly into meltdown territory, I don’t know what to tell you Fart Radio.

this isn't really a meltdown though. It's a reaction. For nine months Punk and AEW didn't mention the incident. Then Punk commented on it and the tape was released a week later. It's a direct result. I think anger was involved but not a meltdown. Sometimes things are just cause and effect.

In all honesty, Tony Khan asked Schiavone to tell Perry no, Perry cussed out Schiavone. Schiavone asked Punk to intervene.

Tony Khan should have told Perry no himself, then the issue never happens
