“According to Alvarez, Perry flatly denied sending any apologizing text to Tony Khan, and informed Khan's lawyers that he wouldn’t initiate first contact with Tony Khan.” So not only did Jack Perry REFUSE to apologize for what happened to punk he refused to even contact Tony first he demanded Tony contact HIM about a return and he caused the issues with punk on purpose. He probably thought the bucks would protect him. He sounds like a total c**t and it’s time Dave meltzer and the AEW glitzers stop painting him as the little scared victim who was harassed by punk. He refused to even call Tony let alone apologize. AEW is a total cult thinking this little bitch was the victim.

[@zacheatscrackers]

You'd think. It's far more likely that Tony is probably thinking "EVERYTHING'S GREAT, WE'RE ON THE BEST RUN OF ALL TIME AND EVERYONE IS HAPPY" while snorting enough white dove to make a 7 foot club bouncer pass out

[@jamjams4902]

Jack Perry was the perfect goon for the Elite. He is already a nepobaby so he never needed money so he can take all the heat while his Buckeroos got what they wanted. Tony's side of the story is equally as hilarious by telling Dave, "One of my employees is trying to contact me and I'm just ghosting him until I feel better."

[@DerekScottBland]

Don't forget that the Bucks made sure Punk was already in a bad mood at that show. The head of travel is a close friend of theirs and, surprise surprise, Punk arrived in London with no one waiting to pick him up and take him to the venue. So he has to find his own way there, probably mobbed by fans at every turn. Yet the head of travel wasn't fired for this? Tell me, how many companies would find out their top money earner was treated like this and not fire the person responsible for dropping the ball?

[@MeNoSpeakJibberish]

Think about everything else that happened that fateful day in England. Punk was given a number to call when arriving to England for a ride to Wembley that was invalid, leading Punk to have to take the tube being helped by fans to Wembley (which for their biggest star is straight up embarressing). That would of pissed anyone off to begin with then he had this nobody telling him tio cry him a river. They knew exactly what they were doing, they knew exactly what mood Punk would be in and how he would react. Shame for them that it lead to Punk making more money for and from the bigger company while AEW continues to suck 😂 It was a ploy, a plot a plan!

[@SchnitzelCFC]

Meltzer had a hand in Punk leaving too. He constantly painted Punk in a bad light from the moment Punk joined AEW and even went so far as to falsely report certain things for which he had to later come out and formally apologise. He also served as a megaphone for certain talent that didn't like Punk. They could have done with somebody like CM Punk right now but unfortunately they were willing to die on Mt. Jungle Jackoff

[@colelarsen-cj-8952]

You think Meltzer is the reason Punk pressed and threatened his boss? You listen to this show an unhealthy amount.

[@James-bi4jz]

Absolutely, a lot of the problem was a whisper campaign being run against CM Punk via Meltzer. Meltzer would still probably be running that stuff from scoop reports from his 'secret' AEW contacts, if Punk's success in WWE wasn't making it all look false and petty.

[@SchnitzelCFC]

@@colelarsen-cj-8952 your comment history suggests you're the one that listens to this show too much and it isn't good for your mental health it seems

[@Jeff_Pryce]

Bingo. For someone who played an indirect role in the creation of AEW, Meltzer has done more to harm it than most people. He actively went out of his way to target Punk because his little flippy friends didn’t like that Punk was pushing a style that didn’t involve the Cirque du Soleil tumbling garbage that doesn’t draw money. And that whisper campaign when he never even bothered to talk to Punk was amateur BS. Meltzer is a hack. Always has been and always will be.

[@Vic_Chaos_]

But Tony feared for his life, though...

[@ayo8098]

Man I'm waiting for Cornette's reaction to the Drive Thru Being Mentioned on Raw

[@huskerfanman]

LIKE MUSSALINI... HE MENTIONED ME.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

@@huskerfanman OOOooh, it’s the Cult of Mac with Extra Cheese 🎸🎼🎵🎶🎶🎼🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵

[@jacobsnipes6244]

Ill never understand what Anna Jay sees in jack perry

[@zerothehero2628]

Cant believe I thought Jack Perry had potential

[@Jackalblade9]

You weren't wrong, he did. But all the potential in the world is worthless if someone has no brains of their own and takes their advice from the wrong people.

[@gregofthelake]

I thought so to. He’s got no personality. Face or heel he was as interesting as wallpaper paste.

[@marvinleong5902]

He did but being friends with the Buckaroo corrupt the guy attitude

[@MariuszMroczek-dd7ku]

He still has the potential to be like his father. Fertilizer.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

He didn’t. It takes more than a bunch of flips to be a star in wrestling. He has no personality, no charisma. He’s milquetoast. And his gimmick is stupid. The only reason he got cheers was because he used a popular 80s song as his entrance music. This was not the guy who should have been a pillar of anything.

[@johnbeer4963]

Punished too much? He basically doomed the company.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

And he helped drive the biggest star they will ever have, one of the last real MEGASTARS in the business, back into the waiting arms of a Vince McMahon-free WWE that was already red-hot before and helped make them WHITE-hot. Thanks, Jack! ❤😂

[@jjgruiz4]

Just review this week's RAW. Nothing else matters.

[@Ai14106]

Forget Seth Rollins, Jungle Jackoff is the real architect for building a bridge between punk and wwe

[@LongLiveRockAnRoll]

AEW had their biggest moment that night and it's been downhill ever since. I saw a video showing how Punk leaving, going to WWE but then getting injured set up the current Mania main even situation pretty much...so yeah if I was Tony, I'd be mad.

[@robertnapier624]

Tony could have prevented the situation spiralling out of control because he’s the boss after all, but no he didn’t. Vince McMahon would have stopped a situation like this.

[@Rev0cl0ud]

If it was vince, perry wouldn't even have been hired. Neither the bucks. Kenny would be floundering in the midcard until he had a meltdown too.

[@Traynor-gw3cb]

I wanna hear the new report with Brian Alvarez where jack perry says he asked for his release please Jim

[@capndanpool]

If Tony was an actual wrestling Booker he would have fired his sorry ass

[@alysone685]

Dave (and certain fans') hate on for Punk was already disconnected from reality, but it's just pathetic at this point.

[@MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

Tony didn't have to fire Punk. He listened to the guy's who were taking his money but giving him nothing and now Punk is making WWE money and AEW is at it's lowest and not getting better.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

“But, but we signed Okada! And Ospreay!” 😆 All the free agent signings in the world don’t matter if you book your promotion like ass. All WWE did in the last six months was sign just two noteworthy free agents: Punk and Jade Cargill. And they’ve been hotter than since the Attitude Era because of good booking and storytelling and maximizing their roster’s potential. AEW hasn’t even come close to that. They should’ve had more stars by now, but they haven’t. “Banger matches” alone is not what will get them the money they need.

[@samdustinchris]

I laughed at the part where Dave Meltzer said it was time to Meltzer and then Meltzered all over the place.

[@CulEdz]

It’s Meltzin time

[@Jeff_Pryce]

He pulled his pants down and took a big Meltzer on AEW’s dining room table.😂

[@bwayne6]

Tony can't fire anyone. So he ignores him until the contract ends.

[@MICKEY4356]

He lives with Jane in a Tree ⭐

[@WarGhoulKharas]

Dave now turning on Tony because he realizes what a monumental fuck up this whole situation was.

[@mrbadguysan]

A situation Dave helped instigate.

[@marvinleong5902]

It more of "actually" by Brian since he claims he got what Jungle Jack told him and totally cancelled off whatever Uncle Dave reported

[@nickhughes8179]

I think Lyin Bryan AlvarAss is fed up with Dave too. False reporting and DVRing following shows is simply to Bryan, NOT MY JAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHBB!!!

[@durden2480]

If I ever see Perry in person I’ll thank him, and possibly hug him

[@Tim85-y2q]

Even if you think Punk had to go, Perry did cost Tony Punk. Given their relative statutes, Perry should also be gone IMHO but Tony should be a man and just do it.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

Tony isn’t a man. He’s a kid in a big person’s body. 😂 It’s beyond stupid that he let Punk go but didn’t also fire the guy who instigated the whole fight on live PPV during their biggest event ever and embarrassed the company. Instead, he kept that jerkoff on payroll and isn’t even using him. Lol Must be nice to be spending daddy’s money.

[@seangross5057]

This is a reason why I stopped watching AEW. The simplest thing that could have done this is Tony Khan should have fired him. For what he did, then AEW could have Kept CM Punk. Until his contract is expired expired. I didn't think he was gonna resign.

[@DerekScottBland]

Punk wanted out. It's not reported as much, but when he touched down in London there was no one to pick him up. Imagine any major business whose top earner (who is very recognizable to people on the street) touches down in a foreign country and no one is there to pick him up to take him where he needs to be, and now he has to find his own way there and deal with mobs of people recognizing him. Oh, did I mention that the head of travel is a good buddy of the Bucks, and he wasn't disciplined over this so-called "mistake"? Punk was already furious when he got to the venue and was screaming at Tony about how much he hated AEW, and you can't blame him. Tony had sent a message to him loud and clear that it was ok for the Bucks to fuck with him with no repercussions.

[@seangross5057]

That’s one of the reasons I do not blame him for leaving AEW. Why would they do that to him in London when they knew he had a match I think the young bucks may have done that.

[@bvs-79]

I’m gonna need to hear Jim and Brian’s thoughts on Punks shout out

[@YTnewsflow]

Jack Perry should be with the Bucks. He is good at getting a reaction, the group just needs a muscle piece that sympathizes with them. Ryback would be a perfect fit

[@AlMoSiCe210]

God, I love me an old-fashioned curse out by Corny! 😅

[@frankiemarino779]

Travis’s art is hilarious - and proves that Jim HAS been on AEW’s payroll all along!
