Couldn't happen to a nicer guy :roll: Well, at least he got to go out as the real world champion.

Welp, going to watch Daenerys Targaryen burn down Kings Landing tomorrow. It makes no sense and we see it coming but might as well see it through.

Punk has burned so many bridges, I wonder who will let him air his grievances on their podcast.

R.I.P. AEW

#ShutItDown

LOL womp womp womp waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

Well, at least Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes loved him. He's got that going for him.

Letting the inmates run the asylum, just like WCW. Being on Turner networks, just like WCW. Tony Schiavone, Chris Jericho, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Dennis Rodman. Just like WCW. We all know how that ended up.

I wish that CM Punk the great wrestler and Phil Brooks, asshole co-worker were different people.

I'm more interested to see if the crowd will hijack tonight and tomorrow's shows rather than all the mid card matches. AEW hasn't had to deal with the fans turning in the product yet.

Dude I am expecting this to be the most nuclear crowd ever and I am actually hyped at the prospect. This could be some quality entertainment in a weird sort of way.

It's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Crowds would chant "CM Punk" in protest during WWE shows and it surmounted to absolutely nothing. If anything, Stephanie McMahon got a quality zinger in.

LOL. Oh well - I'm done with AEW.

I'm a bit surprised but I don't think its a negative longterm tbh. I assume the Chicago crowd will push back and make the next few events there uncomfortable, but so be it.

The amount of time and energy being spent on this stuff back stage must be immense. I dont believe the idea that Punks right and everyone else is the issue, I think its closer to plenty of fault to go around but lets say Punks 100% in the right always, this is still the best outcome for both parties.

I am super curious to see if some of the more out there stuff comes to fruition now.

Collision was all Punk so the network will drop it, ratings dives... heck in some of the weirder parts of the internet AEW will now fold inside 6 months like they didnt achieve all they achieved without Punk.

Absolutely the best outcome for all parties. Couldn't agree with more with that.

In terms of the crowd, if they go full thermonuclear and really ruin stuff then AEW will probably just not run Chicago again past whatever dates they've already set.

Which that would be fine too because let's be honest: they run Chicago way too often.

Tiny at home crying his favorite toy turned out to be an asshole, while he let his best toy leave. He wasted millions of his daddy's money and the only draw his company ever had is Main Eventing for the FEDBAD team.

Couldn't have happened to a more spastic guy :rofl:

I hope everyone liked late stage WCW Thunder.

Hate this

Collision tickets just came on sale yesterday for me too....not interested in going now that Punk is gone

lol Drebin cousin come onnnnnn cheer up

On a serious note, Punk needs to step away from the industry for the sake of his well-being. This level of toxicity is only going to make him even more miserable.

Surprised Tony had the balls to cut him loose.

Might sound stupid, but I really hope he learns from this.

The worst part of the Punk vs Elite drama was that, eventually, one of them was gonna win. When the EVPs got new contracts, the writing was on the wall as to who that would be.

The fallout will be interesting, though. Tomorrow will be fun.

LolAEW

They’re going to reap what they’ve sowed.

A recipe for success no doubt

I think the important question is now that Punks gone, which toy does Tony Cokhan start random chants for in gorilla?

Goooooooldbergggg...

Oh God don't put that in the aether please.

Mercedes and Adam Copeland's asking price just went up a bit

TK in Gorilla, but it's a race between him and Omega on who finishes first during the giant masturbatory monologue they put Justin Roberts through every time Omega is announced.

There is no artistic integrity in AEW. It doesn’t matter who they do or don’t get.

I’m interested to see if there’s any fall out in the locker room. I sure as hell wouldn’t feel comfortable working there.
