Not saying punk is totally free from criticism in this situation but at the same time guys have been talking shit about him for months and taking shots and all these wrestling journalists or what not have to but as soon as he pops out and tells his side in an interview suddenly its 'hey why you gotta be so negative' lmao

[@Rautz.]

You're absolutely right.

[@awesomecool3280]

It's like that episode of South Park you gotta fight the cancer that was the Elite. And that's what punk did. That's why 80% agree with punk and the rest are clearly mentally handicapped 😂

[@TheMainMan_Z]

A lot of people call him a crybaby but he only says the stuff when asked about it, he doesn't go out of his way to talk about people. It's funny the people that call him a crybaby are literally the people crying about him when he does actually speak up. lol

[@8Bitorbust]

@@TheMainMan_Z His words cut deeper because the truth hurts.

[@Vendetta419]

Even if Tony did admit that to Ariel like Vince is saying, it would still be bad. You cannot satisfy everybody and a lot of ppl was getting on him already, admitting that wouldn't change anything.

[@brianmcdonald7017]

Punk was right about wwe then and he's right about aew now

[@paulcarpenter7844]

Why is it that CM punk had to handle the situation in the first place why is nobody saying that

[@jasonelliott7977]

Tony isn’t a boss. He delegates the hard stuff to others

[@Rautz.]

You're in an AEW populated group if you haven't seen peeps ask that question.

[@devicebackup664]

Punk is back home and that’s all what matters

[@RonstaSlap]

He isn't supposed to do anything, it's not his place

[@joshpope2141]

It’s hard to understand how guys like Adam & Brian can be involved with this this. I hope they get it together man. I really do

[@Rucker1980]

Like punk said, it's not a business, Tony is just a lick. Adam and Bryan are at the end of their careers collecting checks and doing what they want

[@robertf1309]

I think Edge/Adam Copeland only went to AEW to work with Christian Cage and that's it.

[@fordid42]

So they can run a schedule like they want to, wrestle who and when they want to, and collecting guaranteed huge money along the way.

[@rpoutlaw86]

I started a drinking game. Take a drink every time Russo says Bro, 3 minutes is the longest I’ve ever lasted before passing out

[@Hesaheel]

That game has been around for decades.

[@Damonicus1]

It's one of those games where you need paramedics on standby lol

[@bawstonbredbeantownsfinest5249]

Forget assisted suicide, play a drinking game every time vince russo says bro you'd be dead by the end of the show. In the 20 second preview you'd have to do like 4-5 shots.

[@TL2354]

2. Obviously math isn’t your strong suit

[@HistoricallyRomantic]

I tried taking a drink during star wars everytime they said Jedi and that was nuts. Russo would give you alcohol poisoning in 10 minutes

[@bawstonbredbeantownsfinest5249]

@@TL2354 its called exaggeration but you have a point, so i counted up until about the 3:10 mark Russo says bro 16 times in 3 minutes. My point remains.

[@LobsterRavioli]

I enjoyed the interview, but it wasn’t a shocking interview by any means. It was nice to see everything we’ve heard, be confirmed though.

[@donnythegreat8147]

Not everything. A lot was kind of unconfirmed. Like all of Meltzer's bullshit.

[@donaldsimmons4526]

Edge sounded a lot like punk did in the beginning. Edge isn't moving the needle so he might not get targeted like punk did though.

[@Damonicus1]

There is a massive difference between NWA, TNA, and every other company out there from AEW. The other companies see themselves as an actual alternative to WWE, that you can watch both, and get a real, well rounded spectrum of entertainment. TK sees AEW as a competitor, a place that should be the top, and that WWE is there to be beaten. For as long as he sees it in that sense, it will never succeed.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

Imagine somebody being afraid of EC3😂

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Excellent video

[@joecable39nc]

He's not a boss he's never been in the real world or had a real job. He grew up either home schooled or private school he didn't then go to college or get a job like at Lowes or Walmart. He grew up liking wrestling. He now has real life action figures he knows nothing how to book or format a television show or be a real boss AEW is nothing but meaningless matches and tournament after tournament till me when I'm telling lies

[@JOHNN01.82]

If was Tony I'd sack bucks hangman perry and that orange guy they don't draw

[@Bruv234]

Why do we listen to EC3 about running a promotion? We couldn’t even get his piss ant CYN wrestling past the 1 year mark.. now that was a pathetic train wreck.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

As a person he might be okay😊 what does a character a wrestler dudes clown

[@Deancousin]

Ec3 looks smashed 😜

[@2SloppyJoe]

That interview's been out for like 5 days, and yet, nobody has called Punk a liar.

[@captainobvious7033]

I just hope EC3 would go to mainstream again. Dude is the OG MJF

[@mr.timebombman2230]

Yeah bro!

[@monkeydeluffy1029]

Can someone buy ec3 a new mic

[@varunshahvo-tv9854]

Tony Khan needs a HEAVY

[@christhornycroft3686]

The biggest problem is, CM Punk, as he said, is trying to do business. Trying to make money, which is what wrestling is all about. All this garbage that was started by the so-called "elite" leaking lies about Phil Brooks to the press has further damaged a business that is getting less than 1/3 the TV rating at best that WCW was getting in their final days. Punk even said it himself. He was uncomfortable having shoot interviews that expose the business, but Ariel Helwani invited him on the show and Punk agreed because he's tired of the PR spin from AEW and their friends trying to bury him. Who is going to choose AEW over something else Wednesday, Friday or Saturday nights to see the idiot son of some 90s one-time heartthrob break the window of a rental car? Does he think he's Bill Goldberg? I'm sure the rental company would appreciate that. What a Hollywood brat. I wasn't a Punk fan during his initial WWE run. But I'm becoming one now because for once, there's actually a guy who understands the business. I haven't watched wrestling regularly since 2001 because of garbage like that, and now I just wish they'd clone Punk and them all wrestle each other. It's a lot better than watching AEW idiots cosplay.

[@Nosfero369]

Adam "Herd Immunity" Page

[@fkjms73]

That Chris guy won’t shut the hell up

[@robbymarton74]

No sh*t. Nobody cares what you think Chris

[@TheGreenGaze]

nice beard bro

[@Vendetta419]

Nah these days nobody want an alternative look how hard Alfred from Forbes is going and he supposed to be a journalist.

[@AestheticDelta]

Tony Kahn is a mark for himself and thinks theres 1m clones of himself that think and like the same crap he does. Outside of the WWE marketing machine people like Jericho, Mone and Edge arent as big as they think

[@georgeiuliu1069]

All the bucks said was they gave a shout out to Jack perry they said scapegoat we like your work

[@Oldschool1943]

EC3 dropping bombs it's facts tho especially his dixie comparison

[@Epsilonsama]

What EC3 said about Shad taking TK checkbook away is a possibility. It happened with TNA. Dixie had access to the Carter coffeers until she didn't and had to sell the company for pennies on the dollar. And while her operation was smaller same thing can still happen with TK. He needs to build a sustainable business that could survive without his father's continuous investment. The fact that TK has so many experienced people in the company to ask for advice on dealing with Wrestlers yet he let's things boil over is absurd. Like if I had been boss of AEW I would have squashed this back with the Hangman situation. I would have told Hangman, Punk had nothing to do with this it was my decision. Next time you go into business for yourself I will suspend you without pay or fire your ass. And if the Bucks have a problem I tell em we need to do business here. If you don't like it feel free to leave. Simple as that

[@jasonelliott7977]

It won’t happen

[@cajunasian71]

Why would Dr. Chris assume that a VP would have any experience with direct people relations? Obviously, he has never worked in the corporate sector. VPs have Directors for the more 'mundane tasks' like dealing with... people. LOL

[@RonstaSlap]

Any chance "Dr." Chris gets to put his education over he goes overboard, dude calm down, a lot of people have studied.

[@johnmcloughlin6508]

That’s a good call out with Cody leaving that for me has always been unaddressed

[@captainobvious7033]

So Colt Cabana was also the scapegoat?

[@mattmorgan2534]

How EC3 is not on national television every single week drawing ratings, is beyond me! Dude is the entire package! Don’t know what AEW/Wwe are thinking, not getting him on their shows.

[@osiawideman4851]

This dude is the ultimate player hater,when you rip and tear at someone,it’s nothing but jealousy,get off his nuts

[@ChaosTheory9]

I think the AEW diehards have been freaking out cause they kinda know deep down that what punk was true. They may love the show, but they know TK isn’t a boss and AEW has become bush league

[@ChaseArkansas]

i think all the aew crazies online are like russian bots paid to be there by khan

[@jamesweikel2594]

I can't believe this but i agree with russo. AEW is a child care center with a giant man baby at helm with daddy's money

[@bmst8236]

Russo extra bros on this one are driving insane, bro

[@HeathInClearLake]

Bro. No.

[@steviemacc2745]

Russo was cooking on this one💯

[@KeithGuth]

I don’t take all the AEW hate. It’s getting repetitive & boring. You have this WWE/VKM scandal and no one is outraged? Seriously? No one made a “peep” before this came out…so you know what that means? It means everyone was too busy making money to report it. They were scared the cash cow would blacklist them. That’s sickening. Shame on Russo, Cornette, all these people THAT KNEW WHAT WAS GOIBG ON, KNEW THE CLIMATE, KNEW THE ATMOSPHERE that was going on in the WWE…AND REMAINED SILENT IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR JOB/MONEY. If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem.

[@MadVybez]

What can people say about the scandal? Its been covered. The AEW saga is the gift that keeps on giving. That is why it is covered so much for it's controversys. Wwe gets reviewed weekly by Russo, Cornnette, Eric, Konnan and Disco so there is no bias. The company we don't hear about apart from negative stuff is TNA tbh.

[@KeithGuth]

@@MadVybez Ok…so what can people say about Khan and AEW? It’s the same thing over and over. It’s boring…you just made my point.

[@sutterkane5716]

Shame on anonymous youtube trolls who assume what people theyve never met knew or didnt know.

[@cashmontoks]

The Vince scandal is a legal situation. These podcasters can’t just say whatever they want cos they can get sued. Use ur brain

[@Youtubepoiuytre]

Ok AEW mark. Way to deflect.

[@DJ_V_squared]

Punk playing the victim

[@Moneymanwow]

Aew literally proved him right

[@DJ_V_squared]

@@Moneymanwow what video do you see? It proved that punk lied. He initiated the fight he leaned towards Tony and was pulled back.

[@Moneymanwow]

@@DJ_V_squared whatever dude. You want to pretend that was something go be scared. I just hope you enjoy that now on aew is under a negative light. Y’all alienated y’all self so much. Wouldn’t surprise if someone resigns this week. Punk hit Perry and didn’t last that long. He “lean” into tony? Lmao. Yeah ok.

[@Moneymanwow]

@@DJ_V_squared the crowd was literally chanting cm punk when they were showing it. I’m telling you. Y’all buried y’all selves

BRO, BRO. ,BRO,,, BRO!!! There's other words in the dictionary besides BRO,BRO

[@adamisforever]

I've never agreed with Russo ever But here we are Oh shit!
