[@segagenesis7708]

Booker T hit on a key point. The reason Tony Khan brought CM Punk in, in the first place, is because they didn't have a Quarterback taking them to the next level. Punk shows up. Average viewership increases, ticket sales increase, PPV buys increase, they have their first million dollar gate. The one chance the 'friends' had of making sure that Punk never came back, was to show that they could handle the ball without him and they fumbled it. PPV buys went down, ticket sales went down, ratings went down. To the point that WBD said, 'we'll give you a second show and a large tv deal, IF you bring Punk back'. They put all of the power in his hands by not being able to answer the call.

[@joeyskywalker1322]

You gotta point there ratings did definitely go down with Punk gone but that’s also because AEW did nothing to capitalize off the buzz of Brawl Out remember most people thought this was a Work at first so once people saw nothing would happen they tuned out and haven’t came back since but Punks been back and he hasn’t picked up ratings or ticket sales

[@user-dy2ew1nx2e]

You only got half the story though. AEW officials were arguing with Perry all day at a Collision taping that he can't use real glass. Perry was defiant. Punk showed up at the building and was ASKED to talk to Perry about it. He told him that's not how things are done on Collision but he could try doing it on Dynamite. Perry then apparently stayed angry about it. Punk lands at Heathrow, no one is there to pick him up, guy literally rides the tube to Wembley, gets lost, has to have fans ride with him to get him there. He shows up after all this, probably angry and rightfully so, and he sees fuckin Jack Perry of all people trying to show him up live on tv. Perry then walks backstage, bumps Punk, Punk shoves him and asks if he has something to say, Perry says "do something about it", Punk "chokes" him rather than punch him until it gets broken up. Punk STILL goes out, has a match presumably out of respect for Joe, comes to the back where security surrounds him and escorts him to his locker room which has to be separate from everyone else because The Elite won't be around him despite his efforts. If I'm CM Punk I would have no showed the event just like Booker said after that travel incident. But I guess he's a bigger man than me because he shows up anyway and is greeted with that kind of disrespect. What would've happened if some punk rookie kid that's not over and is 100% replaceable stepped up and disrespected Bret Hart, or Kurt Angle, or Undertaker, or any veteran? They'd get way worse than what Perry got. The fact it was IMMEDIATELY leaked tells you EXACTLY who was behind it and it's the EVPs.

This is the softest generation of wrestlers in history. For everyone who hasn't seen it you should watch Season 1 of Tough Enough for a glimsp of what these guys would do to guys like Jungle Boy.

I think we learned from WCW that a negligent shell of a management structure, where money completely replaces respect, it's never good for 1 wrestler to have a level of "power" heads above the rest, and especially unfettered power, even if it's just for 1 show a week. I don't dislike Punk, but if what they're saying is true, and that he has so much say so that he can dictate who comes in and who doesn't, it's ridiculous. I think if Punk wanted to do and be what he has reflected through his actions over the years, maybe he needs to do what Cody Rhodes did. Maybe Heyman would have been successful had he known Punk much earlier. But to walk into another person's company, where you've had little to no hands in building up, it doesn't then matter how much of a veteran you've become, you can't do the aforementioned and expect the locker room to either bow down in submissiveness or hold you in high esteem and respect.

To quote Jim Cornette, All Elite Stunt Wrestling.. they need to go back to wrestling, good gimmicks, and storylines and stop the lazy 6 man tag matches and unhinged bs by these indie guys. The drama started with the Bucks to the point Cody left and the treatment CM Punk has been getting now. Perry overall is part of the problem and you cant see this brand growing with bad seeds running it

[@gregrollins225]

True story the glass goldberg was supposed to hit was put in army glass shop I work In here in salsbury md the company is called delmarva auto glass he punched to wrong glass...he came to our shop and ur bosses showed him how to punch and brake it he just hit the wrong window

Damn good show

[@caesar3909]

The Drama not around one person like Brad put it, it between 1 person & 1 camp. Jack Perry is close to The Young Bucks, kenny Omega & Adam Page. He changes with them in their locker room.

[@MrMoneyMFMitch]

If this was in the 90s or 2000s in wwe and jack perry did this…. Vince McMahon would have fired him after taker beat the piss outta him in the locker room

[@1980nadim]

Just imagine... for a second. You Do that in the old days to taker or harley race or some other veteran guess what would have happened. And tk handles this situations like you would if the fought in a office not in a FIGHTING (granted scripted) company. If something like that happens roll with it and make a program out of it.

[@battman0624]

Exactly but the only difference is the ones he has had altercations with don't want to work with him. He tried to reach out to the Bucks and was told by their lawyer not to contact them. Their not about making money because TK pays them well.

[@nightvolt9572]

punk tried starting shit with taker after taker said dress better punk is no where close to taker he more hogan than taker

@@battman0624 i know but thats were the part of beeing the Boss comes in play. Order them to do it, i mean he pays them. In real life there is no mute/ignore button you have to work sometimes with people you dont like and it is not that some grave issue or bloodfeud is between them.

I get punk giving Jack the advice. By that same token, he should stop telling people their business. Jack wanted to do the spot his way. Let him do his thing.

[@G.MOBAStudios]

Serious question, what was the deal with Booker and Batista again? They scraped and what was the punishment?

[@johngallagher72]

Not sure the punishment . Batista apparently was becoming a diva and disrespecting the vetrans so Book put him in his place. Not sure if there were any repricussions and Vince let the boys police themselves.

[@G.MOBAStudios]

@@johngallagher72 ahhhhhh like real men 😂

[@josgor9061]

In a Smackdown commercial shoot, Batitsa showed up late. Told smackdown wrestlers Raw was better and they were lucky to have him there. Booker T told Batista he should have some respect. Batista started talking smack and Booker said theres a side room and said let go handle this one on one. They went closed the door and Booker T whooped his ass. At the time Batista was jacked and the champion. The following tv taping he had to wear glasses to cover his black eye.

[@JohnGraves1985]

@@G.MOBAStudios Exactly, AEW is full of children.

[@TheRealEclipse1]

This happened in Gorilla before the CM Punk and Samoa Joe match. So Punk and Joe should physically be in the area. Jack Perry already had his match, so what reason did he have to be right there? He made the comment directly to the camera and made sure he was in a position to have an altercation that he had already instigated.

[@jeremeybuckley]

If this is CM should be celebrated for wanting to keep wrestlers safe. Regardless this 2023 no one should be fighting at work be men about it and handle it down range. People that start first fights at work should be fired.

[@romeomontague2309]

Perry said he dont take advice too

[@HDX21]

So let me get this straight..... Your top superstar in CM Punk arrives in London with no one to greet him or car service to take him to his hotel and the number that he was given to make contact for information turns out to be an invalid number. If it wasn't for the fans who recognized CM Punk and helped him out he probably would have never gotten where he needed to be. Then you have to turn around and deal with this type of childish antics from skinny little punk in Jack Perry?!?!?! And on top of that he might be suspended and not be able to show up for All Out in Chicago.... I don't know how anybody cannot see how CM Punk can be extremely upset dealing with this entire situation not just with Jack Perry but with AEW as a staff, wrestling label and a whole MF'n crew. Punk Is Really Dealing With Children.

[@BePatient888]

Booker T has a good perspective. He needs to reach over and backslap Brad Gilmore's WWE/CM Punk mark-ass!

[@user-rr2ti3jd8y]

I think people aren’t following Punk as veteran advice is because of the way he left the business in 2014, the shit he talked about WWE in the years after and then of course being absent from the business until 2021. So I think the hate is coming from the fact they don’t respect him for him not being part of the business for so long.

[@jackhughes7637]

No he didn't. He went on a podcast and explained why he left because people were expecting him to give his reasons for leaving. Everything that followed was years of lawsuits because the WWE thought they could bully him and he won all of the cases. People aren't following ANY advice. That's why Jim Ross has went on record multiple times saying a lot of the younger guys don't take advice. Why do you think William Regal fucked off so quickly?

[@TheLibermania]

Many people take him serious. Backstage too. But those can't lobby with Tony

[@travisford6663]

He said there were several scenes that Goldberg knocked hisself out 😂

[@619AJ]

Booker is right. Punk should have jumped right back on a plane back home when nobody was there for him at the airport. Would have avoided all the drama that took place after that.

[@tonyruby4467]

Honestly it's the company. Tony Khan got all of them signing NDAs. Without those i think there'd be a few wrestlers voicing their frustration with the company.

[@paradox_3000]

AEW is full of veterans that aren't getting in backstage fights. The problem isn't the message its the messenger. Punk is the problem.

[@sob2108]

When Jungle Jack said it to the camera, from a fan stand point, I thought he was building his bad guy up speaking to the fans that say wrestling doesn't use real stuff or that its fake. Now that I know, from a storyline it could've carried over to TV in a positive for Jacks current gold fever he has and going after another belt and would've been good shit! BUT..... CM Punk has more issues with upcoming talent, and or, CM Punk went on 1st in AEWs current biggest and largest crowd. He always had a grudge for not going on last at Mana, ontop of all the other issues which seem to mirror WWE. All signs point to him being a huge issue no matter where he goes on the big stage, but the catch22 with him is from a talent and TV personality, he is a huge chunk of the big stage.

[@mikelaw5965]

Great point. 100% agree.

[@HouseOfHagnos]

Booker can never give an unbiased opinion about punk. Its sad honestly. Given the fact that Jack is objectively the problem here

[@TheMrDwillison]

If the spot that Perry wanted the real glass for was always the suplex on the windshield, it’s actually smart to use real glass because windshields are built to take a lot of force if it’s decently distributed, sugar glass is very brittle and has it shattered the likelihood of getting cut is way higher. Still petty all around though, at least the spot looked great.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

Originally, the plan was for Jack Perry to have a real glass table where the FTW title was going to be, and he would have then been put through it by Hook after Hook returned and attacked Perry from behind to set the match up. This is where everybody, you name it - Tony Schiavone, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Christopher Daniels etc ALL said no way you are doing that. Punk especially said if you want to do that, then go do that on Dynamite, and that Punk is not trying to be responsible for his idiotic decision at the end of the day. Apparently from what has gotten out, before the PPV started with the buy-in preshow, Perry went to the Young Bucks, Omega AND Tony Khan and begged them to use real glass on the spot and every one of them told him no. Apparently after the fight with Punk, and before Jack Perry was ordered to be escorted out of wembley stadium and to go home; Tony Khan chewed him out about the glass spot.

[@garrymclaughlan6433]

[@NitroExpress727]

[@Gang14128]

AEW has been using real glass for years now. Just look at BCC. If he wants to use it then let him use it. As simple as that. Forcing one guy out of like 50 guys to not do a certain thing is just plain bully tacktics. It should be for everyone, not just one single guy.

[@hostilethetruth]

Young wrestlers should listen to the vets.. But then again once Punk seen Jungle Boy disregard him.. Punk should've let Jungle Boy fk himself up and learn the hard way

[@TeamTowers1]

To be fair some people just learn better through trial and error. It's important to keep in mind that not everyone learns the same way. It's also important to keep in mind that 1: Windshields aren't built like regular glass, they won't fuck you up the way a normal piece of glass would 2: Punk was pissed because he thought Perry was doing the spot as a n excuse to get time off, when Perry was in fact already scheduled to have time off.

[@Jukeboxster]

I don't think it's a question of who is right and who is wrong. It's why does one person consistently find himself at the center of controversy? Some people just attract bad energy.

[@ConkersSquirrel]

So if a group of friends didnt like you and each of them kept getting into altercations with you, it would be your fault because you're the only one in the centre of controversy with each of these people?

[@Jukeboxster]

@@ConkersSquirrel if I have "friends" that don't like me, that sounds like I know how to pick friends very well. how do you get into an altercation though? You have a choice as to if you want to make it an altercation. If CM Punk is the older, mature adult like he purports himself to be, he could just let things slide. you stop reacting, people stop messing with you. that's not who punk is though, he always has to have the last word.

[@ConkersSquirrel]

@@Jukeboxster I said a group of friends meaning they are a 'group of friends' not your group of friends. And you are correct, CM Punk is vocal and stands up for himself and doesn't let people push him around which has clearly been proven time again, so why do they continue to antagonize him knowing this?

[@Jukeboxster]

@@ConkersSquirrel I guess I see things differently. You have a choice as to whether someone antagonizes you, when you choose to give their words power over you. If I really see myself as the "best in the world" there's no way some mid-carder on a second-rate wrestling promotion could get under my skin. The people that react to shite the most are the ones that get messed with the most.

[@ConkersSquirrel]
