I doubt Mercedes signs. She is a better worker than Britt. And a bigger star. Britt will mess with her worse than she did Rosa.

I’d be surprised if AEW put Sasha on TV if she wasn’t signed, but it is AEW. She seems to be friends with Punk. I’d imagine she would have liked to have been a Collision girl. Welp. I hope some of the talented folks have escape clauses into their contracts if they have signed.

FTR are going to be hammered if they team with The Bucks.

Good. Kill the market for them. Tony has handled everything so poorly.

You need artistic integrity in artistic combat

Mr. Nerfect 09-02-2023 08:18 PM

AEW isn’t artistic combat. It is slapstick.

Maluco 09-02-2023 08:37 PM

Did Moxley bleed on the statement?

Mr. Nerfect 09-02-2023 08:38 PM

He bled when his buddies texted him that they got rid of Punk.

GD 09-02-2023 08:47 PM

Yikes! I'm glad he was let go.

LOL ok this whole thing has to be a work. Punk gonna be showing up like Matt Hardy attacking Edge after Lita. TK is a weirdo, but this feels way too fake.

Ben Rodrigues 09-02-2023 08:52 PM

The man needs to take some self-defence classes. Might help with him feeling safer in general.

Reminds me of when Brock threw the belt at Vince after his match. But instead of cowering, Vince looked like he was ready to fight. :lol:

Loose Cannon 09-02-2023 08:55 PM

Would be amazing if this was a storyline . Jack needs some heel heat and provoking Punk to get him fired would be the way to get it

Self awareness > Bravado

Mr. Nerfect 09-02-2023 09:08 PM

It’s not a storyline. It would suck if it were a storyline. Guys, I was wrong. This has just gone too far. It’s important to know when wrestling gets too serious. Tony feared for his life. No one should ever be in that position, even if they’re a trust fund baby that fanned the flames that caused it and even said that sort of conflict is good. It may have taken a few instances of this sort of thing happening for it to personally affect Tony Khan and his lawyers so they don’t have to pay Punk out, but hopefully Tony is a new man — a true man — and will stamp out injustices in his locker room.

Mr. Nerfect 09-02-2023 09:10 PM

I can’t believe I ever supported a ruffian like CM Punk. Poor Jack Perry. My enjoyment of wrestling as a fan is one thing, but I’d much rather get a shitty product than hear that incompetence was met with consequences.

Ben Rodrigues 09-02-2023 09:11 PM

Not sure how reputable 411 Wrestling is, but they reported that Punk/Elite were meant to have a sit down before All In and clear things up. The Elite called it off because why not.

You're deplorable, Noid :lol:

Maluco 09-02-2023 09:23 PM

I think it’s very convenient that there were called off meetings in the run up to this, Elite member toying and provoking as their maturity levels would dictate.

And then for the final straw to be a talent making a jibe on air, the very thing that caused him to explode the first time.

They are assholes of the highest order and will destroy AEW eventually, but The Elite boys have played him like a fiddle.

In time, I think he will be glad to be out of the mess and away from such a toxic and unruly lockerroom, but he himself clearly needs therapy and the opportunity to find some peace in his own life.

Mr. Nerfect 09-02-2023 10:08 PM

I think a kid who has always been rich like Tony probably realizes he doesn’t have any real friends. It’s all transactional and he’ll accept the fake kudos he gets from The Elite camp (from them through Jericho, Sammy, Britt, The Hardys, Jungle Boy, etc.). No one is going to put a somber mood on TK’s parties.

Destor 09-02-2023 10:11 PM

Im sure the wwf will gladly take him back

Destor 09-02-2023 10:11 PM

...right?

Mr. Nerfect 09-02-2023 10:14 PM

We’ll see. I think it depends on how eager Punk is to go back there. There are rumors AJ Lee is going back. Survivor Series is in Chicago.

If he’d rather sit at home on millions, play with his dog, work for whoever he wants to work for, whatever…I think that ball’s in his court.

Destor 09-02-2023 10:17 PM

We'll certainly see

GD 09-02-2023 10:19 PM

Rewarding toxic behavior will always yield favorable results :roll:

Destor 09-02-2023 10:22 PM

As an employer if everytime you schedule a guy to work a fight breaks out you fire him. It not rocket science.

Which means WWE should avoid him at all cost, yeah? As it is, a ton of wrestlers do not wish to have him back (according to SRS).

Stu Hart 09-02-2023 10:28 PM

Man, i loved his return and hisnfeud with MFJ was gold.
I blame tony for the situation of giving office power to active talent.

The elite didnt like punk from.the start, and Punk seems to have let his MMa career go to his head where he wants to fihht at the drop of a hat. Even if the Elite worked him into a shoot, he acted on it. H

e threw pumches and lunged at the owner- you jusy dont do thid kind of thing irrespective of your stat power.

Well at least there he wouldnt be getting in fights every week. Their roster isnt made of guys 150lbs so he def wouldnt be starting so much shit. But there's no money in booking punk. He's demonstrated multiple times he can only bump ratings for 1 night and there's no way he'd be used as a special attraction (which is how AEW *shouldve* been using him but thats all pretty moot now.)

Now let's laugh at TK for being socially awkward. How he deserves to be physically violated by his former employee because he's made bad decisions :lol:

Destor 09-02-2023 10:44 PM

He definitely doesnt deserve violence but he is most definitely an idiot if he thought prowrestling didnt require a spine. You cant keep a locker room of cockstrong guys in check on hugs alone.

Destor 09-02-2023 10:45 PM

But he most definitely does not deserve to be hurt for being in over his head

Sepholio 09-02-2023 10:45 PM

He deserves it!

He deserves it!

Destor 09-02-2023 10:45 PM

Amd he most definitely is in over his head

Sepholio 09-02-2023 10:45 PM

Destor postblocking me but it works either way
