Punk is an absolute muppet who in reality shouldn't have "won" the situation, but I can absolutely see why he and his fans feel smug after that segment.

If you like Sid you have no reason not to like Jade.

Sid was a clumsy doofus who also seemed enthusiastic about whatever he was doing. Watching him ham it up over a compacted car, or pushing through a promo he just messed up, it's all very endearing. Plus when he does get it right, you get fun moments like Survivor Series 1996.

It's wrestling, the rules are a little different when it comes to assault. Actually the rules used to be different when it came to a few other things in the wrestling workplace, until it had to change because of woke.

I'm not unsympathetic of the idea that wrestling is a business with a lot of physicality, pride and testosterone (or....I guess for the women, estrogen....?) flying around and sometimes that's inevitably going to lead to scraps. That happens in real sports all the time. The team sucks, they're on a five game losing streak, poo poo boils over, guys throw a punch at each other during practice, they break it up, everybody moves on. And those kinds of things have happened in AEW, case in point!

quote:

Swerve: I'm not going to front, I'm going to be honest with you, it happens more often than you think.

Starks: Yeah, I've never seen a fight where anyone has won. It's always a draw.

Swerve: Me and Ricky got into a fight.

Starks: Yeah, we did.

Swerve: It was after Double or Nothing. It was a little miscommunication thing. We had our little thing.

Starks: Right in that hallway.

Swerve: Right in the hallway, but the beauty of it, y'all didn't know about it until now. Now, look were we are.

Starks: Judging by the reactions, y'all don't give a poo poo. I like that, that's great.


quote:

We're told that the issues stemmed from a miscommunication late in the match, where there was an unplanned spot that saw Swerve attack Ricky Starks after an attempted pin on Jungle Boy. Starks was originally supposed to go for his finish on someone, but Swerve found himself doing nothing and thought it would be a better improv to get hit and dumped out of the ring, otherwise he'd be standing there watching it. We had heard that they had a follow up segment on Dynamite after that nixed, but made peace after that, and are fine to this day. They even worked together a couple of months later on AEW Fyter Fest.


But even then, "something got mixed up in the ring, two guys had a scrap over it immediately after, they got over it and worked together" is markedly different from "repeatedly ambushing your co-workers over literally nothing".

Yeah like, the whole point of a receipt is once you give out the receipt, you're square. Punk gave Hangman multiple receipts and still couldn't get over it.

By that point, Punk was trying to start a program with the Elite and they were no-selling him, which they shouldn't have done, because they should've squashed the beef and moved on for the good of the company, except it's also fine if Punk tells Colt he won't talk to him without a lawyer present.

Also Perry saying cry me a river isn't a receipt for leaking the story in the first place, it's stupid internet poo poo.

Yeah, the fights are normal argument has to do a big "I'm not looking at it" in regards to the circumstances of the fight. You have CM Punk, the guy who has been very public about how he believes there are other wrestlers in AEW who are jeopardizing the company and it's draw for their own personal reasons getting into a fight moments before he's supposed to wrestle in their biggest show. You have CM Punk, the guy who leaked the glass story for his personal benefit getting into the fight because he's mad that Jack was turning the whole thing into something they could work. He's expensive, he can't get along, he keeps getting hurt, and the whole time he's borderline delusional. Also he sucks at it. He can't even fight when he gets into them. Why the hell would you keep that around when you can drop him with cause because he can't stop fighting?

tony assumed fans would see punk as he is, an rear end in a top hat who assaulted a coworker. from what i can see the majority sees him as an elder statesman shutting up some whippersnapper who dared open his mouth

tony vastly overestimated his audience

Median wrestling audience is a bunch of men in their fifties that dream about taking out those teens that keep throwing beer cans in their yard. Of course they get hard when some whiny old man like punk attacks a hot young son of a movie star.
