Billy Gunn gave a recent interview where he was asked if he liked coaching. He said he loved it, but it was really hard sometimes. He said that he had a few guys on the roster that regularly came to him for advice, but he said that most of them refuse to listen to anything, and it got very frustrating sometimes.

[@MisterAlerion]

Billy Gunn never drew a dime outside of DX. he might know some good things about fitness and match structure, but he is a nostalgia act. he was never over on the microphone or in the ring on his own. not once. it was always with New Age Outlawz, with DX as a group, with Road Dogg, with HHH. the best advice he could possibly offer is, find your spot, and hold onto it as long as you can.

[@NEMtvOfficial]

@@MisterAlerion Mr.Ass was over...soon as his song hit , he got a pop...his match and persona was very entertaining to the point where Vince tried to give him a singles push but his issue was he had Asthma and cant have long matches..he cant give you that 20 minute main event..so what ur saying doesnt make any sense...Billy Gunn comes from a time where everybody on the card was over, Billy has decades of knowledge that someone like Hangman and the Bucks shouldnt take for granted

@@MisterAlerion You could just give your thoughts on Billy Gunn and leave the "draw" stuff out of it. Seems to me draw is like "star" where fans use it to try and make their opinions seem more credible. You were praising Bobby Fish despite him being way less of a draw and unable to do do anything without Undisputed Era. I'm sure old man Billy Gunn can help others "draw" with his knowledge more than old man Fish can with his struggle MMA style lol.

Tony needs to hire a "bad cop" so he can be the good cop. Because he seems to want to be friends with everyone he hires.

[@greenbasterd9425]

I really enjoyed Konnan's comments at 8:00. That perspective and wisdom translates to the corporate and business world, not only wrestling promotions. Do you always want to hire the guy with the big school degree and outgoing personality that might not jive well with the team you're trying to build or sees the job as a stepping stone or might create unnecessary drama? Or do you want to invest your time and money in the guy who might not have as much talent or overall potential but is loyal, reliable, never causes problems and you can mold into who you need for that particular job in that company. It's a tough decision sometimes and many first time managers and business owners only learn that lesson the hard way.

Could Punk have been a bit more diplomatic towards Tony? Yes. Could he have maybe toned down his attacks on the so-called EVPs and cut Page a bit more face saving slack? Yes. However I agree with almost 99 percent of what Punk said, especially about Page thinking he that he hardly listens to advice and on the EVPs using their dirt sheet connections to cut out the legs of the biggest face on the roster. The way I see it the “EVPs” are basically AEWs version of The Kliq. Tony needs to toughen up or get a strong figure head to represent him when it comes to dealing with the talent.

And that may be the chink in his arm but it wasn't on him to go to the "executive not really executive assistance" because they don't know how to be and accuse and ask them did they say it.

Punk was impressed with AEW because of the Brodie situation where everyone kept it to themselves and didn’t share his business. So now there’s these rumors and stories being planted about him and Colt Cabana, so it probably made him feel upset and angry that this kind of stuff is happening. That he is still being attached to Colt Cabana’s name when he has nothing to do with him for years now. And that it’s coming from certain people. Maybe he has proof it was the EVPs maybe he doesn’t, but it’s obvious there’s more to it.

[@MisterAlerion]

"rumors and stories being planted" nope. it's not true. nothing planted. everything about Punk and Cabana is true. Punk wasn't even asked a question. he had an absolute meltdown at the mere sight of someone who knows Colt Cabana. his unhinged ranting about how bad of a person Cabana is and bringing up his mother proves exactly what the rumors claimed. last week, he lost his cool because one fan was chanting Colt Cabana at him.

He helps run Fultham , the Jaguars, and operates an analytics business. He needs to realize the first wave of big stars he brought in like Jericho, Moxley were ready to start this new endeavor. Now he has the next wave, and they weren't with this from the beginning . I think the exchange between Moxley and Punk was actually a bit true. Moxley is the heart and soul.

@@terryflaboy4209 What makes you think?

[@grantmoreland2472]

I think that punk cut Tony off, because Tony‘s window of opportunity to do something about the whole situation had come and gone.

[@DewlayLomo]

Yeah, i suspect Punk must have brought this issue up-to Tony in the past but it was never handled

[@dan2melz]

You have Jim Ross and Regal on your roster, those are 2 people you need to discuss things with.

[@Robby_C]

I'm pretty sure the entire MJF part of the scrum was worked...

[@falconater51]

1:02:21 Pretty sure Disco just unintentionally asked Konnan if he fistf**ked Vampiro.

[@WhyNot-gt7tl]

you know the craziest thing about all of this? Tony Khan didn't learn from it. He's still gonna keep doing the media scrums. The guy has ruined his own company.

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

i don't see why he thinks they're a good idea.

[@russellcampbell3500]

John Moxley is loving all the eyes on Punk and now no one is talking about him maybe coming out of the closet with all this kissing bolony. Lol. " Always a bridesmaid never a bride"? Wtf more like " always a catcher never a pitcher".

[@undefeateddynasty7974]

It's part of a match, not a good one, but part of a match.. Imagine putting homophobia into this type of situation.. weirdo

[@AntiLifeEquation1]

@@undefeateddynasty7974 Nothing homophobic about not wanting to see 2 men kissing....everybody's not down with that shit!

[@russellcampbell3500]

@@undefeateddynasty7974 how do u know I m not gay? Doesn't mean I want to see it just like I don't want to see to straits doing it. And why do u think he kissed him weirdo? Idk maybe to get heat. What a fool. U must love to watch gay porn then right since your not homophobic?

CM Punk ain't wrong for going off on these guys if they have been spreading rumors about him to the dirtsheets. Now him fighting the Bucks and Kenny ain't going to do nothing but feed the narrative that he is a cancer to the locker room. Either way AEW is a entertaining shit show right now and Tony needs to find a way to fix these issues and honestly you could make some good TV out of this real situation.

[@forgottenmma3694]

CM Punk that paranoid malcontent. According to HIM, the EVPs spreaded rumors yet most dirt sheets and fans suspected CM punk had something to do with Colt’s removal of aew. Did the EVPs tell everyone tel that? No

[@randylynch4330]

Billy Gunn, Mark Henry, Big Show, Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn, Taz, JR, Shiavone, DDP, Jake Roberts are all guys the AEW roster has direct line access to but because they didn't do a million high spots in their match, nobody gives a shit to listen to any of them clearly.

Remember when Tony Atlas tried to give Hangman advice, and… wait. That was Punk.
