This podcast clip is so wild to listen to in 2023. Since this podcast -Colt Cabana Sued Punk, Punk countersued, they dropped it . - CM Punk had a failed UFC career (which i still admired that he even tried) - Punk joined AEW and broke record for them......only to literally get into fights with multiple people in the company - Punk is now BACK at WWE, which is basically under new Management. but Vince is still hanging in the shadows. wrestling is wild yall.
For real if you had told me how everything would play out for the next ten years when this episode originally dropped I don’t think I’d have ever believed it considering how out of pocket the events have played out. Not sure if it could have been scripted any better than what actually ended up happening.
Seeing how many people that worked there for multiple decades they let go when the pandemic hit while reporting record profits at the time when of all companies that were in a position to weather that time period without needing to cut people loose is when it officially hit home that there really isn’t any move that they would see as too low to make. It was even worse when you saw every other company keep their people on board despite being nowhere near the financial position of the WWE to do so. Of the companies that were affected by the loss of live event revenues WWE was in a different universe in how little of an effect it had. The company at the time, and it’s grown even more now, sees 80%+ of their revenue from their media licensing deals and ticket revenue was maybe 10% of their revenue picture. They produced record revenue and profit for that time in 2020 even losing that revenue yet was the only company that had mass layoffs. Everybody else who actually had a reliance on their life event revenues and had tremendously less financial resources as a backdrop of emetgency liquidity didn’t just keep their people on but some even added people now that they were available which really made the WWE look shitty. Of course it didn’t matter or hurt them but it eliminated any doubts one could’ve had about loyakty to any extent existing or giving a damn about any of those people as human beings. HHH brought some back on though so he seemed less callous but any illusion of the company giving a solitary fuck about anybody who works for them vanished after that
The attorney representing him has confirmed that he signed a lifetime NDA regarding the Brawl Out incident. I imagine the same applies with his exit considering how short of time frame following his termination he was able to appear on WWE programming.
Punk is incredibly patient. I'd have contacted a lawyer after the third intentional dodge of giving me my money and had them contact on my behalf. Glad he did eventually lawyer up and take them to task.
Punk was in his prime back when he was in ring of honour and i remember he would always have his hands on a microphone whenever he was in the ring fighting especially raven and the audience would say back to him shut the f up That was when he had his first dog collar match back when ecw was still around
you're sad mate he got everything he wants part time and multi million per year and most of his issues is with vince who's no longer at charge wwe is not the same new owners
@@darkpath6674 Lost all respect for him the moment he shilled for a community that pushes for genital mutilation of children & called all Trump supporters "Wacist" LMFAO
