Actually, I was the mastermind behind the whole goof. Please direct all praises towards me. Thanks <3

CM Punk received validation from Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes. He doesn't care about basement dwelling neckbeards.

What?

GD 08-31-2023 04:27 PM
I was the one behind everything that transpired between Seph and Noid. It was all part of the plan.

I really hope they release the backstage footage from ALL IN.

Apparently there is footage of the fight. Somehow I don’t think anti-Punkers are going to accept evidence though.

Ben Rodrigues 08-31-2023 05:15 PM
Even if the footage shows Punk was in the right, nothing will be done from a disciplinary perspective.

Watched Booker T comment on the situation yesterday stating that everyone should understand their position in pecking order and that Punk was brought into be the quarterback. I imagine a lot of the harassment/bullying (if we can call it that) that CM Punk is experiencing stems from people not wanting to accept this.

xrodmuc316 08-31-2023 05:20 PM
If Punk was brought in to be the quarterback and leader, maybe he should find a better way to deal with issues than just fighting people...

Why do you feel compelled to post in a thread that you don't approve of and can't see half of the posts of? Show some restraint!

There should be systematic failsafes in place to stop Adam Page going out there and burying you on television, The Bucks barging into your private locker room, Jungle Boy going into business for himself then getting in your face…but there aren’t. Punk’s tried getting people to leave, other management has taken up the cause, I’m sure lots of words have been exchanged with Tony. We even have that article where Punk said he has tried to reach out but gets ignored, which The Elkte declined to comment on.

I get the CM Punk hate-boner, but he’s not the bad guy in this situation.

GD 08-31-2023 05:49 PM
Don't forget Booker T going into business for himself when he threw trash on the floor when Punk declared himself as the locker room leader. Need more fairlsafes.

I think you can call it that. I’ve seen people swing around the “when you meet an asshole, it’s them, but if you meet assholes all day, then it’s you” thing. Anyone that has seen workplace politics in play know that’s total fucking bullshit.

If Bret Hart got into a fight with Scott Hall. Then he got into a fight with Sean Waltman. Then he had words with Justin Credible. Then he got into a scuffle with Paul Diamond. Imagine writing off the problem as Bret Hart.

GD 08-31-2023 05:52 PM
Or when Taker lost his shite on Punk for dressing and smelling like a hobo while he was the World's Heavyweight Champion. He went so into business for himself that he buried Punk in one of the most forgettable HIAC matches of all time.

Thanks for this!

Just finished - how can anyone not like this man? Honest, self-deprecating with respect for those who came before him.

Mr. Nerfect 09-01-2023 04:30 AM
I’ve got about 8 mins left, but I’m surprised I stuck around for the speech. Good stuff. Punk is charming, warm and funny. He’s a bigger man that me too for giving Val Venis his professional props.

Mr. Nerfect 09-01-2023 08:30 AM
Lol! Meltzer is claiming that a “neutral source” (one that just happens to contact Dave Meltzer. A non-wrestling person who happened to be in gorilla, mind you, and witnessed the whoooooole thing said Punk got in Perry‘s face aggressively asking him if he’s got a problem. Perry said he was just trying to get heat as a heel (this would be absolute bullshit, by the way). Punk then shoved Perry, sucker punched him after Perry got in his face (not sure that counts as a sucker punch, but anyway), then choked Perry. Punk then LUNGED at Tony Khan and told him “I quit!” as wrestlers were holding him back.

Fucking amazing.

Mr. Nerfect 09-01-2023 08:37 AM
Punk then killed and ate his own dog in front of everyone.

I would have loved to have seen what the ultimate CM Punk fan boy would have done if Punk had hit him in the face :lol:

And then Perry got choked.

I wonder if Punk would be brave enough to get into Goldberg's face if he felt wronged...

Here is the way All In should have went down.

Jack Perry does his bullshit line. Instead of Tony acting like a fan, he should know that would set Punk off. So rather than letting Punk get to Perry first, Tony meets him at the curtain, tells him to get to his locker room and keeps the two separated.

But, Tony has shown from time and time again that he cannot manage a roster. Any one of us could be funded like how Tony is with his dad and run a product on TV. But controlling the talent in a boss type way needed to be done from day one.

Installing Cody and the Elite as EVP's wasn't the worst thing in the world. But if you notice, all of the people that Punk has a problem with are the ones that have either been their since day one, or people that are closely connected to the elite. And don't get it twisted, the people that have been there since day one have more than likely been kissing The Elite's ass since they arrived.

Punk coming in was never going to be roses and rainbows because The Elite knew he was going to be a bigger draw than what they were. Ratings may not reflect that but ratings are shit with everything now a days. But merch sales...that's the true reflection in the business as to how people are perceived.

Point is, I don't condone what Punk has done. It's been childish and immature. But it's almost like he's backed into a corner with these idiots and the only way out at times is to lash out and fight back, whether it be verbal or physical.

Again, I hate to use Vince as an example but he would have probably done exactly what Splaya said or had one of his right hand men do it and never let it get to that level. Say what you want about him but it was well understood the HE was the boss and should not be crossed.

Punk is not absolved for his actions but the entire state of the locker room is TK's fault.
Quality points.

I was just coming here to make a thread about this. I was going to ask what is wrong with this guy? Is this a worked shoot or something where he just pisses off everyone in the lockeroom?

If this is not some wrestling angle then seriously what's wrong with this dude? lol. It seems like wrestlers either love him or despise him with no in between
