Booker has some of the most infectious laughter. When he starts giggling its impossible not to laugh. Booker T is awesome.

[@ThirteenOhEight]

I agree 100% with Booker on not getting too close to the boss. Yes, that's how it's supposed to be. You're there to do a job, not to be best friends with the guy that signs the checks so that way when you need someone to check your ass the boss can do it and nobody takes it personally.

All of this falls on Tony's shoulders because he let this go on right in front of his face, not once, but more than twice, so what did he think was going to happen when someone like CM Punk who has alot of baggage to begin with is allowed to run rough shot over the entire locker room because he knows his boss can't run a wrestling promotion without his friends acting as his enforcers who are wrestlers themselves. Blame Punk, blame the bucks, and blame Omega and the legal teams all you want because I'm placing blame on Tony's shoulders because again, he's a wimp and if he can't keep his troops in line, he might as well throw himself on the firing line and let AEW go the way WCW ended up doing.

[@travismcdonald6576]

Not sticking up for Punk, but Tony Khan is a complete goof. He should’ve put this fire out last year. His tree house buddies are instigators in this as well.

[@Joecbg100]

I agree, it was maddening not seeing him do anything about it besides suspensions. I think a better take is he saw the house burning and left the photo albums thinking the fire would go away without help.

[@puipui7382]

Well from this comment I can tell that you have no clue about what actually happened. Do some research because it seems like your on the wrong track with your line of thinking.

[@richardremick1639]

I like the young lad booker is with here he’s right about the situation might have come earlier

[@theWorldOfIss]

Before Punk did the All Out press scrum, Hangman did a promo on tv going in to business for himself and there were rumours that Punk got Colt Cabana fired when he was the top babyface. Tony didn't punish Hangman, didnt address the rumours, and the Young Bucks came back before Punk when they went to his locker room with a bunch of other guys after Punk invited them to fight if they had an issue at the press scrum. Now Jack Perry did the same thing with the glass spot AFTER AEW employees asked Punk to talk to Perry about it. Tony again did nothing, I dont blame him for taking things into his own hands. These ignorant kids do whatever they want, dont listen to the veterans and the boss isn't doing a damn thing. Maybe Punk had a short fuse but he was passionate about making that company better and the wrestlers. Real glass can kill someone, Perry's an idiot and you dont start rumours about your top guy- I'm sure if someone did that to Taker, that guy would get his ass beat. Boycott AEW 🎉❤

[@luismejia4168]

I agree with you, and im watching this video and its the second podcast from retired well known pro wrestlers pointing out that cm punk went into business for himself as did Konnan and Disco podcast,and not pointing out that it was hang man adam page that initially went into business for himself, started the whole issue and went off script while shooting a promo on cm punk on live tv. I dont agree with everything punk did but it seems to me that everyone is trying tu bury him and ignore the sabattoging and hostile environment he was put in by the kids in the locker room .

[@thierrygallois9349]

je suis d'accord avec toi👍

[@godphoenix66x]

Exactly. If Tony Khan had addressed Adam Page and dealt with him swiftly, CM Punk wouldn't have had to deal with the situation himself. Vince McMahon would have dealt with Page. Then when Markboy Tony Khan decides to put on his big boy pants he fires his top draw. AEW is a mess. I will boycott anything AEW from now on. And it pains me to say that.

[@sampleoffers1978]

18 mins in he gets to some journalism. I'm not so fascinated by Punk and I'm confident he would not like me, but the way he's been played by conniving monopoly stooges, is disgraceful example for business...Oh Punk is rich? No Vince junior Mcmahon is RICH...Tony Kahn is loaded..and that's where accountability is fake while some of these bought up people shill for Teflon billionaires.

[@godphoenix66x]

@jessiedismuke1864 nobody cares.

[@darkserge1]

I completely agree with Booker on CM Punk mocking Colt Cabana sharing a bank account with his mother. This is what turned me against Punk. It's a very classless and elitist. I get he had a falling out with Colt but you cannot be voice of the voiceless while kicking someone who didn't make it as big as him.

[@Thatoneguyinurwalls]

I think a lot of the dirt sheet crap about Punk is a complete exaggeration and I am still a Punk fan to this day, but this is a completely valid criticism. Very low brow of Punk there

[@VenomSnakee]

The only reason I could see punk making that comment is if it's some sort of odd attempt at claiming that Colt was hiding money or something, because otherwise it was just an vindictive statement

[@puipui7382]

I think Cabana has money. This was just a personal thing. He said his brother is a writer on family guy and also has a account with his mother.

[@darkserge1]

@@puipui7382 If both him and brother share account with their mother to support her, that makes Punks comment even worse. I did wonder if Cabana was sharing a bank account with his mother to help and support her. Either way a below the belt comment that shouldn't have been said.

[@snakecharmer3587]

That’s a dumb reason

[@hXcHector]

While many of your thoughts on CM Punk were fine, you use Dave Meltzer's news reporting as fact. We know how much he has hated Punk and been apart of The Elite, more or less.

[@Scorch1028]

AEW will not allow fans to bring signs into the arena that disparage Jack Perry for getting CM Punk fired.

[@jesterr7133]

Punk is definitely an interesting individual, but he never truly went on the offensive during his time in aew. All of these incidents were simply him responding to things that were done to him. I would have reacted exactly the same way

[@paulcarpenter7844]

Tooker B is all elite

[@ElizaOrlinsStan]

It came out that Colt Cabana and his brother (a popular TV writer) both have accounts shared with their mother to help her out. Punk knew that and skewed it to talk trash. Booker on the money about Punk being classless for that.

[@forgottenmma3694]

Remember Colt Cabana tried to sue CM Punk and his wife out of sheer greed. CM Punk didn’t start it but he finished it

[@dnvngates]

I can’t agree with Booker T, no acknowledgement of the things done to CM Punk to make him react the way he did. CM Punk has not talked about Colt Cabana until the scrum, The youngbucks bs and running to meltzer. Adam Page goes into business for himself FIRST! He reacts and he’s unprofessional. That’s wild. When you’re grown man amongst children it ain’t gonna work. Tony Khan allowed this to happen. Punk taking a shot at WWE. ThIs is wrestling! For Booker T being apart of the Monday night wars it’s a cop out to say Punk should have done that. Like Booker didn’t have a nonchalant attitude in his TNA run. Please stop the biased reporting. Love Booker T but if you gonna talk about it, talk about it all.

[@justmarcus33]

Because all the things done to CM Punk to make him react that way, don't matter.... Punk can not like who and whatever he wants, but if he's now multiple times physically assaulting his coworkers, he's done. How he feels doesn't matter, how he's justified his actions in his head, doesn't matter.

[@dnvngates]

@@justmarcus33 so if someone does something to you, and you respond to it. Your wrong. Lol oh ok…. As a locker room leader yes he should have kept his cool and maybe showed more restraint however you can take so much before you’ve had enough. Again Jack perry goes into business for himself and shoots on tv and punk is supposed to do nothing. We already know Tony Khan punk ass ain’t going to address it. The media scrum, punk says anyone who has a problem can come see me. Punk’s fault 100 for in-sighting a fight but where is the accountable for the E.V.P’s who came to that man’s locker room and actually started the fight and got their asses whooped. As a member of the office you to your point should have taken the higher road but didn’t! Again if your gonna apply it to one, apply it to all

[@assassinsknight]

Crazy to think the reason this stuff doesn’t happen at WWE is because Taker created wrestlers court.

[@DeadmanInc336]

I don't even think it's that. It's because NOBODY fears Tony Khan. Say what you will about how Vince runs things. But he commanded respect and everyone was terrified of crossing him because your career is practically in his hands. There's plenty of blame to go around. A good chunk of it goes to Punk for just not knowing how to deal with conflicts. But the majority of it goes to Tony Khan for not getting a handle on this asap.

[@finalfantasy1912]

​@@DeadmanInc336Vince himself is also an intimidating figure. I mean he was the only one with the balls to go face to face with Bret Hart directly after the Montreal Screwjob.

[@elisefincher4478]

The thing that gets to me is people aren’t looking at the situation as a whole and solely blaming punk for this while not addressing the main issue. AEW is suffering due to locker room discord. You’re getting the whole clique toxicity. I can understand punk getting frustrated at having groups of people coming at him with seemingly no intervention by the bosses to nip it in the bud. AEW is pulling what WCW did back in the day which is a major factor that doomed them by letting the inmates run the show. One thing booker brought up that I agree on was bringing up the locker room court. Getting a leader in that locker room that has no biases that can root out these dissensions and issues is what is needed.

There are always more sides to the story, don't be so biased. Just a side note, Punk said Colt shares an account with his mother.

CM PUNK AND AJ LEE RETURN CONFIRM ROYAL RUMBLE 💯💯💯💯

[@saintgermainonwukeme2966]

Booker doesn't like Punk. Simple as that.

[@chrishernandez3699]

Unlike Cornette, Booker has had to share a locker room with Punk so if a guy like Booker doesn't like him, then there's definitely a good reason.

[@lindajiron2557]

According to Roman Reigns, most people don't like him. He ought to know. He worked with him.

[@RonFleener]

I don't like punk either. You got another point?

[@danielwinters7181]

Majority of people don’t anymore

[@Thepeopleschamp1983_]

Neither does seth Rollins

[@kyleconger2109]

This video is very one sided. I agree with a lot of what was said about punk. But the boo hoo bucks, and pint sized Perry are at fault too. It takes two to tango. They started everything. And then to talk about wrestlers court being needed... a old school wrestler who would be judge would be on punks side. Respect the vets. Old school. Who are the bucks anyway? What have they ever done? Perry was jurking the curtain that night!!! Talking to a vet like that. Shame! The cuc cohost on this show is the worst side kick in pid cast history.

Tony did the right thing.He needs to save his company.

[@MegaXbryanX]

you guys are completely skimming over A LOT of important pieces to the puzzle and you know it

[@willt8848]

That happens when there are axes to grind and have set narrative you want to set.

[@snakecharmer3587]

They don’t mention that punk defended himself each time and was never the aggressor

[@rondoughhowell6442]

Just admitted Booger T ,you don't like CM Punk justlike some these other wrestling podcast hasbeens and never will be's out here ,

[@Alex-tf3hn]

Now Collision will degrade to the Dynamite level. Old Twinkletoes with his buddies will ruin it for sure.

[@loucipher7782]

collision is worse than rampage old man wrestle every main event and can barely move lmfao

[@Alex-tf3hn]

@@loucipher7782 At leaat it made sense. You can enjoy Dynamite still.

[@elberno4243]

Punk was gaslit for 14months

[@phantasmagoria4220]

Glad to hear Booker speaking the truth, Phil was a cancer to the locker room. All Out was a much better show without him, it felt like everyone was on the same page again, the vibes are back!!

[@drphot6050]

Spoke his truths*

[@mattdrury87]

Love Booker but it seems like the Elite & others (Jericho, Hardy’s, Cabana) in the locker room didn’t want Punk there from the get go. They leaked negative stories to the press and it obviously got inside his head and Punk couldn’t handle it. A lot of things stem from Tony Khan’s poor management and his lack of leadership. If he had resolved the issues, there was serious money to be made.

[@puipui7382]

Bryan Alvarez said the Elite did not leak anything about cm punk.

[@bobsucks9647]

If someone tried to attack Vince backstage do you think they’d be fired?

[@MatthewSmith-nt7rj]

It would be more of a situation where Vince would be the one lunging at a wrestler.

[@christopherclinton8631]

Bad news brown and Harley race wasn't fired.

[@napalmblaziken]

Ask Nailz.

[@dvsmike]

Yet the elite and there peeps are somehow innocent. TK could've squashed this from the beginning but he showed no balls until he was finally backed against the wall. I completely understand Punk's irritation. It sucks he didn't take the high road but i get it. He realized TK wasn't gonna do shit about his talent. Punk doesn't need aew or wwe for thar matter. I wouldn't be surprised if Punk comes up with a lawsuit.

[@HayesValadez]

why is this guy keep putting on a blackcent? lol

[@fitzgerald434]

Im a Punk fan and he needed to be let go I felt like he was trying to be above the company. Tk bent over backwards for Punk, gave him his own show "Collision", gave him the belt, let him pick and choose who he could work with. Respect to Tk for making a tough decision hopefully it's a wake up call for Tk and the locker room. Booker said it best on one of the previous streams. The locker room lost a lot of respect for Punk after that media scrum last year.

[@mrshaheedmalik]

If he bent for CM Punk, he would've solved the problem. He didn't. Punk getting his own show was a WBD - David Zaslav move.

[@willt8848]

You're not a Punk fan. The giveaway is the qualifier of "I'm a Punk fan". We'll I'm not the man is being railroaded by the AEW bitches and there stupid, unwashed fanbase.

[@it_punkkid7298]

I feel like aew lost the trust in the fans and all of these things makes Tony Khan look like shit 😂 the guy acts like a fab than a boss when cm punk came i thought aew could get better now i lost all hope in the company

[@TheLhicks26]

I never lost trust in them I'm an old CM punk saying but I told my friends when he first showed up dude is volatile it's what he's known for and he did everything I said it was going to do you figure out in two years like I said to know this is on him

[@sophroniastrand1904]

​@@TheLhicks26strongly disagree.
