You don’t have to like AEW or Tony Khan but anyone taking the sympathy route for Punk to try to justify the hatred more is hilarious. Punk deserves no sympathy here. This was complete and total self-immolation.
Punk was a troubled child who never grew out of his rebellious phase. In part due to the validation he received for his unprofessional and unhinged behavior over the years. I remember watching his "Best in the World" documentary and cringing so often. He's only grown bitter and insecure with age. It's just sad at this point.
