Yep.

And everyone is all "WELL PUNK ASSAULTED THE BUCKS WHY SHOULD THEY TALK TO HIM."

Well, first, they busted into his dressing room. Second, this is pro wrassling. It's a sports environment. Motherfuckers get slapped and knocked around behind the scenes. A lot of testosterone. A lot of butting heads. I don't necessarily condone it 100%. But this is what happens. We've heard about these fights in the WWE. Hell, Jericho was lauded for snapping on a front facelock and neutralizing Goldberg. He also almost fought Brock at Gorilla.

Let's then not ignore the fact that Bob Holly beat the shit out of people in the ring and backstage. JBL too. But we celebrate them.

I'm not about full-on bullying but I'd say Punk and Steele taking on the Bucks and Omega at once isn't really bullying. It's a brouhaha.

And since these guys are pro wrestlers, and they're EVPs, they shoulda sat down and hashed it out. But they're a bunch of sly, passive-aggressive cowards who've already hit their popularity ceiling.
