@@Johnnydubsack "when he mocked HHH running WWE." Don't know what this is in reference to, and not sure why it's relevant. "When he ripped Rock for part timing and ME WM Austin says hi." His issues with the Rock being a part timer were a pretty minor reason for Punk's dislike overall. His attitude and habit of dropping in unannounced and acting Hollywood didn't endear him to the younger talent, which included Punk at the time. "When he went to court against WWE doctor and lost hence not having his fees covered." Are you really trying to make Punk out to be the bad guy in that situation? "When he thought Young Bucks were more professional than HHH." I can guarantee that was never the case. "When he thought AEW was professional wrestling." It still had potential before everyone realized it'd be an indy purgatory for the rest of time. "When he thought he was a top draw but his time in UFC and AEW proved that was a lie." Punk can be arrogant, but I don't think he was deluded enough to think he'd be selling PPVs straight out the gate like Brock did. "When he claims about women’s wrestling hi Bikini girl how you doin?" What?

It got so far out of hand on the internet they had to scrape the entire storyline. NONE of it actually happened, hell they had people posting pictures of themselves with MJF and Britt together at an AEW Meet and Greet while Britt was "Suspended" they just did it so they could see how fast and far the "Wrestling Media" would snowball it.

⁠@@ButWhatIfItIs I mean, Mercedes is the bigger star. That’s not subjective, it’s fact. 😂 Britt was hot in 2021 because she was the only woman in AEW that looked good and could talk on the mic, even though she’s subpar in the ring. Enter Mercedes: looks good, can talk, has a rep for banger matches AND built a name for herself as a star in WWE. A WrestleMania main eventer. It’s a no-brainer that she would assume the role of top star there. Britt is still a star in AEW, but she shares the locker room now with an even bigger star.

But because of their backstage politics. Reigns would be a jobber in the indies if he was not related to Rock and Rikishi. I understand that Jericho is a master of politics too, but Jericho is great in the ring and on promos. MJF is mediocre everywhere. Same 3 lines. Same annoying character as Miz. Zero originality.

Jim's love for MJF and disdain for the women's division once again blinded him to something that he is actually in full agreement with. Why was Alicia, who is not a wrestler on the roster, hanging around in the women's locker room? If she's there and listening to them having conversations or even complaints about what is going on with the matches then goes and stooges to her boyfriend about it. Britt was absolutely in the right to tell her to get the hell out of their locker room and not come back. Rats are only back there by the grace of the wrestlers and Alicia used all of hers up. If this had been framed as it happened in the men's locker room with the Boys he would have been fully on board. But again, this was against MJF and involved the women.
