Apparently part of the settlement or whhatever between AEW and Punk was that he wasn't allowed to talk about the incident
Which he did during that interview
Peak WCW shit
What was the point in showing this? I don't watch AEW but this makes them look pretty desperate?
I mean as it stood Punk got to act like the rational chill one in the interview without any proof to the contrary and this shows him well, if nothing else, instigating the physical force
People in the back get into fights all the time. It's nothing new. Just ask Chris Jericho and Brock Lesner. Booker T and Batista.

Ammo for the Punk/McIntyre feud.
*Jungle Boy and CM Punk get into a small tussle and CM Punk walks towards a table that Tony Khan is sitting*
Tony Khan: OMG I feard for my life!
*Brock Lesner gets back into gorrila and he is pissed and throws the title at Vince's head.*
Vince McMahon: WTF....Get your ass over here!
Post #10 in this topic sums up it better than I could. Why is Punk "the one in the right" the tenth time he's had major beef with someone
Vince is a benchmark to aspire to now? I'd say it's that exact overly macho attitude he had that lead to well.. you know
I'm more asking why AEW thinks it benefits their product to show backstage footage that relates to a wrestler who got fired nearly a year ago and now works for the biggest competitor.
Especially since WWE specifically loves taking advantage of smark drama to give their feuds and promos more legitimacy. Something they have already done with Punk.
Did I say any of that? No? I didn't, huh.
I extrapolated. I could have gone harder on your "fights backstage happens all the time" comment, which was true in like.. the 1980s.

He makes it sounds so calm, and not that he aggressively shoves JB twice, fails a guillotine choke, attempts a sucker punch after they get pulled about and he gets pulled away from the gorilla position hopping up and down while screaming. But the way he puts it "Oh I just put a tiny little choke on him, Samoa Joe calmly walks over to me and says "Please CM Punk Pleas Stop" and I let go under my own power and turned around and farted marshmallows and said this place is a joke and then I calmly walked away".
Also for the brainlets, there were multiple reports that CM Punk had it out with Tony in the locker room and we have no idea what he did there.
AEW is now copyright striking the footage as a shitload of people on Twitter are now making fun of the situation
Was this security camera footage? Shouldnt it technically belong to Wembley?
I liked some staff member at the end walking away with his hands over his face.That's not staff. Its Chris Hero which makes it funnier. Kassius Ohno going "Oh no!"

I really hope this entire thing is a work and Triple H is going to do a WWE x AEW angle. I don't know if this was the topic, but Drew isn't even signed to the WWE right now. I kind of wish he shows up on AEW to side with The Bucks
I think studying every single potential movement to pick who is right or wrong is a waste of time honestly. Of course people are going to downplay or exaggerate their perspective to make themselves look better. I don't think Tony Khan would be fearing for his life either nor was anyone 'endangered'Not to fans who care, there are plenty of fans who do care about the truth of the situation.
It's a scuffle that would barely register as a big deal in high school between two carnies that lead to one of them leaving the company.In a professional environment, one that is very corporate like TK is running, he most likely frowns on real fighting.
Trying to base a product around this is where things get into the absurd. Talk about it all they like on podcasts or interviews. Upload it on social media. But hyping this up and showing it during a live show and trying to work an angle out of it when the guy left 8 months ago is sad.It's what TK wants to do, for better or worse.
