Tony Khan running around booking tonight's show like Henry Hill near the end of Goodfellas

Tony Khan posted:

Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Ex-WWE guys. The keys to a dozen arena offices all over the country. I'd sign twenty, thirty indie flippy guys over a weekend and then I'd either kick 'em down to Dark: Elevation or save 'em for ROH. Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I needed a big rating, I'd go out and sign CM Punk. We ran everything. We had the Hangman. We had the Elite. We had the BCC. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.

We were somewhere around Hoffman Estates on the edge Chicago when the Mindy's baked goods began to take hold. I remember saying something like ``I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should go....'' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the room was full of what looked like huge Jackson brothers, all swooping and screeching and diving around the locker room, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the Ace Steel biting Kenny Omega. And a voice was screaming: ``Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?''

The second meeting just ended.

-CM Punk will go to anger management classes throughout his injury, they will reassess his standing in the company after he's healed but it is possible for him to never show up in AEW programming again.
-Ace Steel is suspended for 3 months, same anger management situation.
-The EVPs will be suspended for 2 months, they will run an angle on tv that they're too hurt and will require an interim champions.
-MJF will be challenging for the belt at Grand Slam. His opponent will be decided via a tournament, Moxley and Hangman will face next Dynamite, but the other two sides of the brackets, and Tony Khan pulled out sock puppets and an excel sheet, will be determined by taking one member of each trio that competed in the trios tournament and giving them a value of 1 to 3 depending on how far in the tournament they got, in addition, Eddie Kingston is in the pool, as well as Miro, now the six competitors will be participating in a trios match, the trios will be decided depending on points so hold on, like, orange has 2 points and he's teamed with malaka-ah gently caress gently caress poo poo, wait, no. buddy mathews then? and eddie i think? well nevermind that poo poo, and then whoever wins the trios will then face each other in a triple threat on rampage, but also the losing team will face Best Friends or Death Triangle to decide the trios interim trios champion.
-Tony then chugged a white claw.
-FTR and Wardlow get ownership of Larry the Dog in order to do the angle they had planned with CM Punk that was supposed to happen four loving months ago.
-Taz whispered something and Excalibured laughed so hard it made TK cry.

I know you guys will look for whatever you can to criticize Punk, but you have to admit that attempting a tope in the locker room is pretty gutsy.

This is great, but I also wonder what Colt thinks of all this. I imagine it's an exasperated sigh.

Has CM Henderson brought in more money to AEW than he cost?

I'm indifferent on Punk but his arrival in AEW signified the end of a certain era for me. I have been less invested in AEW since Punk turned up, nowhere near as much as I was during the amazing pandemic Daily's Place Dynamites.

Is Punk worth the money? Has he had a notable effect on Dynamite ratings and PPV buys? That's the only thing Tony will ultimately care about when dealing with this poo poo show.
