CM Punk, Young Bucks altercation following Punk media scrum comments: Wrestling Observer Radio 

The C in CM stands for Cornette.

Haha that's for sure he can't let a single thing go

CM "Never forget never forgive" PUNK. jezus christ what a giant baby. dude makes millions of dollars is world champ and calls out the EVP's right in front of TK?!

@@hagipilo5017 if everyone tells bs about him of course hes gonna get mad

That is so true 😅

Ridiculous Tangent is Dave's middle name

@@aerialpenn8849 I always thought "YeahwellsolikeyouknowImeanyouknow" was his middle name...

Watch your mouth

@@WilliamMightyRed Lmmfao he drives me insane with that shit

The irony being he stayed on topic more than usual

Well, at least he admitted it this time.

Dave’s rambling stories are part of the channel’s charm.

Most self aware Dave has ever been

And he was cogent and relevant. Not a tangent at all!

I commented the same thing before I saw your comment 😂😂😂😂

Work perhaps?

I went back and watched and didn't see anything like that

Yes I saw him whispering in TK ear I just didn't know what he said. It's hard to tell what is a work and what is real with Aew.

I listened and Tony asked Jericho “Hey are you going to be around?” and Jericho responded “yes” and Tony replied “I’ll call or text you later”. Probably to get together for dinner or drinks. Or a few lines of COKE. I’m guessing COKE! lol 😂

Not hard at all lol

and it’s brilliant. Someone to call out the clowns.

We just needed a year on the road to have him as bitter as he is

@@NL-fg6it that’s what i’m saying this is the reason everyone loved punk but it seems wrestling has changed and a bunch of people are soft and get there feelings hurt over stuff that doesn’t involve them.

Well, they got really high PPV buys and great ratings. I said it’s good man

@@conormcgregor8451 I have finally figured out the fandom. The insufferable aew fans that will jump all over you for even the slightest criticism. Turns out they're actually BTE fans first and foremost and now watch them actively root against their own company's drawing power because one of the talents crossed their little group of bisexual clowns. The people you would have found 10 years ago attending a brony convention have now moved to wrestling and this is what we got.

couldn't agree more

Total sperg. I don't have the patience to listen at normal speed

Lol, I just played this at 1.5, although that was to save data on my mobile plan.

I just found that feature right now 😯

I play all my videos at 2x

Like the scrum segment was obviously a work. So one of two things is true: These two are in on the storyline or they are such consumate ass-kissers that they're incapable of objectively covering anything.

Right? Like obviously he was talking about the Bucks. Like who else would he be referring to? Cody is gone and Omega was out at the time. Bucks are the only other EVP's.

It was so obvious its about the bucks haha

The Hardly Boyz

The Cucamonga kids.

Facts

Punk told the truth he works with children gymnasts who don't know shit about wrestling JIM Cornette called all of this months ago, CM PUnk is right the bucks are jealous egotistical children trying to sabotage CM Punks run in the company

But it was specifically in the context of calling out "guys who haven't been anywhere or done anything". He's saying he can't be talking about the Bucks because the Bucks of all people in the company have done maybe the most. There's no company without them.

Well factually it can‘t be the Bucks

The Bucks built the company and the scene from which it came. Without them being the guys who helped people get paid on the Indies, there's no Elite. No Elite, no AEW. He's riding their coattails. He earns what he earns off the back of what they did. No All Out, no AEW, Phil goes grovelling back to WWE. And for what? Fuck it, fire hi..

The Young Bucks fucking suck, I don't know why these guys blow them so much.

Well they’ve accomplished more then punk has so that wouldn’t make sense

@@dogsbreakfast4952 Generation Me never won anything

How?

@@dogsbreakfast4952 mark

Yea they’ve got me the most interested I’ve been in like a year so it’s definitely working

What's happening is that Tony Khan is no Vince McMahon - A.K.A. his wrestlers aren't afraid of being punished by him.

@@aaronlauretani8921 And us fans are reaping the benefits! 👌

If this doesn’t end up being a work, and the Elite leave you guys will look goofy as fuck.

@@phoenixmodellingphotography For now...I don't think we'll be feeling that way if Punk refuses to work with certain guys or confuses fans by burying other babyfaces in promos even when it isn't part of a storyline that leads to any payoff. That just hurts the product eventually.

Exactly, several other RU-vid posters missed that.

I laughed so hard

Why?

@@dogsbreakfast4952 lol, Dave has a MAN CRUSH on those guys.

Bryan and Dave are such a joke lol

These two always set the narrative the young bucks want.

I can see that happening now that would be best for business Tony you need to hire that man

@@thewindozer I doubt bucks and kenny would let it happen but it would be 🔥🔥🔥

Jim wouldn't do it for all the money on earth.

Jim doesnt want to work In AEW he said this many times already.

@@rentoptional1524 he’s worked for much worse, for much less in the past so wouldn’t be so sure about that

They shouldn't be running the game division either. Omega taking FTR out of the game (if it ever comes out) is inexcusable.

Man I cannot agree more. Active wrestlers in power positions is the worst idea ever

Thought it was stupid since the rally in Jacksonville.

@@jesuszamora6949 Except he didn't? They're going to be part of the RoH DLC since they're RoH champions.

@@billywashere6965 But they've been with the company for over 2 years. How are they not already factored into the base roster?

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I think they slap their thighs when they do it too 🤔🤔

The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega will have CM Punk fighting Haku in a street fight next week, biting encouraged.

I heard Punk and Ace Steel went Double Dragon on the Bucks and Omega.

Cody foresaw this. There’s an Interview long before there was any sound of trouble saying that the elite guys would get jealous of the ex wwe guys and vice versa. He saw it months before.

Cody was the one holding it all together. He knew it was going to drop out at the bottom when he left. Punk is like gasoline on a fire

Cody is a clown

@@Luigi12687 he got out of AEW before shit hit the fan, so no. He’s not a clown (this coming from a guy that highly dislikes Cody)

Cody has his own Ego, he booked himself as First TNT Champion... The Bucks just stuck behind Hangman, but nobody knows Colt Cabana better than CM PunK. Colt Cabana had to be fired, cause he's a dirt sheet rumor maker...

Yep bottom line is it's got everybody talking.

There's no way Meltzer, Alvarez, Tony Khan, The Bucks, Omega, and Page could ever make a work this convincing. None of them have that level of restraint.

If it's was real, TK would've fired Ace Steel and probably suspended Punk. I don't think TK have the guts to fired Punk. Steel should be breaking up the fight, not joining the fight.

Punk and his gang versus the Elite?

I wasn't sure at first til two things: He called them like a bunch of nobody's playing with their friends in Reseda...something Cornette says verbatim all the time...and the way he was eating directly into the microphone the whole time. That was such a "heel" mannerism to throw into the promo...just...chewing directly into the microphone and talking with his mouth full the entire time? Great touch.

Could be. The fact Tony was oblivious to all this because he didnt had his phone is one of the lamest excuses ever

Punk and Khan are equally pathetic for different reasons.

I'm not sure this is the way to do it. i don't think it's a work and to me it's just going to piss people off in the end with one side leaving wether that be Punk or the Bucks/Omega

​@@badhousemedia6983 Well that's that then. 😂🤣😂

Is it really tho? I’ve followed the coverage, as I’m sure most have, and to see their reflex was to defend the elite was really on brand isn’t it?

Dave carries water for the Bucks so he will continue to work as their PR firm until they leave

Dave has long ignored things he doesn't want to acknowledge, unless you pin him down and force it. Just listen to, well, most of the Bryan and Dave clips available on RU-vid...

Dave is cheerleading the Bucks and Omega. Not even AEW - those guys. If Tony came to his senses and booted those twits, Dave would ride him twice as hard as Jim.

@@jesuszamora6949 Dude AEW is not firing the Bucks and especially not Kenny, Kenny has nothing to do with this but also these are top talents of the company you're talking about.

@@DoozieDoodle And that is the demise of AEW. But the point stands - Dave's a fan of those three, not AEW.

The Real Housewives of CM PUNK's AEW.

yeah, I think this is whats happening, theres an obvious divide in the company and AEW should consider changing up the power structure or at least let the talent talk and sort themselves out with supervision of course.

@@renderinghues true, its always peppered in multi-men matches and its mostly unconvincing in most matches.

This doesn't make sense because Cutler was immediately pressured to delete that tweet and he was removed from that match as punishment. Right afterwards is also when they changed his gimmick from D&D master to obnoxious Elite goon.

You know the Bucks & Kenny recently have been some of the only guys to do that spot correctly. The Bucks against (maybe in the triple threat?) we’re on the outside, Nick runs over and moves Matt out of the way to a different area, then the other team launches a tope and hits them. Kenny recently just moved against Ospreay, looked dead at the camera, and said “you think I was just going to stand there?!”

@@renderinghues Agreed. & I'm right there with you - Guys like Ospreay and Fenix are a delight to watch. But yeah, the standing spots are ridiculous, and sometimes like say on AEW PPVs we might see them not just 3-4 times a night, but 3-4x a MATCH. Especially during certain Young Bucks matches or a match with 2-3 highflyers... Those long-spots need to go, they just look so setup & fake that it makes me cringe.

Glitchless - how come the lights keeping going out all the time then?

@@CustosCustodum Get back to us when Tony Khan stares at a wall for 13 seconds and sis immediately teleported to bankruptcy court.

...

I fucking love this. @SummoningSalt

Man he said same thing punk said 2 weeks ago

Right? I can't wait for the out of touch 70 year old to yell about how "this ain't rasslin!!!!" He never does that so it'll be refreshing.

Yeah, when I saw Punk start shooting I just envisioned the smile on Corny's face 😂

@@BabysitterSky this ain’t wrestling mate….I’m not a wwe fan either….but punk disrespected his boss in front of the world….I actually feel sorry for Tony…. I hate the elite but you could be professional and settle whatever issues you have backstage in front of Tony….not do this shit and keep interrupting your CEO at a press and pretty much bury the whole company…..Vince or hunter would have just fired anyone who would pull such a stunt….and I doubt cena or Roman would do something like that

@@ashwinramesh583 Very true statement

i love the bucks, but when they were running their own storylines it was literal trash. so yea that statement is literally true.

@@Christopher-dd1ph When was that? what storylines were trash? I'm just curious that's all

Did the bucks work at Target at some point? I only ask because i remember Brit Baker always bringing up when Tony Schiavone used to work at Starbucks lol

Not really, when was that?

Yah and then they slapped their thighs loudly in disapproval

@@bileductable Shades of Scott Hall's working kicks in shoot fights lmao

My 9 year old cousin can beat the shit out of both bucks with one hand

If they did walk up to him after it I would have a lot more respect for them.

@@bileductable You're talking about AEW, they can slap their thighs all they want and you pay money to watch them so they are doing a pretty good job, shoot or not.

Oh thank god I’m not alone. Thank you for the reasonable take that used an ounce of forethought.

Yeah I mean even if none of the The Elite actually said a word to anyone about it you know Punk would still have had this bubbling anger inside him just because he knows that they are friends with Colt and would know they don't like him. He's so ready to be pissed at people. Anyone he saw laugh at one of Colt's jokes backstage he'd make his enemy.

@@mastermoose8390 except for the part when they say no side is blameless.

This was inevitable because CM Punk has always been a complete cunt. Genuinely, it goes back years. It might be a personality disorder but he's only nice when he has to be or when you're paying for his autograph. This can't be fixed by making everybody sit down. A decision has to be made and the obvious one is to get the strap off Punk and get him off TV by 2023.

@Crazy Eights perfect theme for his lack of an AEW run.

I can vouch for these reports. Multiple sources can confirm.

They always smell like that.

@@Jack91790 I agree. The smell comes with old age.

Kahn has the last cooked batch of that Walter White for sure.

not been around many people who get high im assuming... TK is just a passionate af dude.

LOOOOOL Fucking brilliant. I’ve been saying he’s been drugged out of his mind for months now. I’ve also said he’s so coked out, I believe some girls or girls have probably robbed ones hundreds of thousands of dollars by now.

Meth is a sleepy drug, cocaine is the adrenaline rush

@@murdockfiles9406 lol meth ain't no sleepy drug fam

payback for mjf overshadowing wardlow's big moment months ago. mjf/punk are tru pro wrestlers.

@@KC-vx5wo Just like punks win was eclipsed? Pick and choose to suit yourself.

MJF is that hard working guy with a top ethic who will never get a look in against those shithouses at the top. It's the "Elite's" company, their name on the brand and they'll damn well suffocate it if they please.

This. ^

It's not just Page, if you listen to past interviews you hear the same idiocy from Omega (especially concerning Harley Race). I can't speak 100% on the Bucks but back during their "Generation Me" days in TNA I kind of recall seeing ioutside nterviews with them saying the same. If their attitude is the same these days it's easy to see someone who does, in fact, have a sense of tradition like Punk or FTR have problems with them.

Expecting Dave not to twist things to make Omega and the bucks look good is like expecting Fox News not to be Republican propaganda. The possibility is non-existent.

U read way to much into relax kid

Punk wasn't just burying guys, he was taking up for the veterans in the back and how they should be listened to. He was burying some guys while standing up for others.

Sounds like it is backstage maybe worse

BLS, You have no idea what you are talking about.

Indeed, just read Death of WCW and come back to us

For real. Literally everyone on r/SquaredCirlce last night were like "tHiS iS jUSt LiKe 2000s wCw". Like, no it wasn't, stfu.

In 1999 - 2000 era WCW. There was politicking in the back. Nash was made Booker. He put his guys over. Then Vince Russo came in and blurred the lines. He had his younger talent he wanted over. So he pushed guys like Billy Kidman, Jeff Jarrett, Vampiro etc ... but the guys in the back were happy to see Hogan, Sting, Hall and Nash on the card even though they never got opportunities to be at the top of the card. Why? Even the buried talent knew and respected the fact the Hogan's and the Nash's and the Stings drew money. And when these PPVs sell out. It meant more money in their pockets. It seems the AEW talent don't respect those who came before that are there to draw the crowds and viewers that in the end make them money. They think they are the draw when in reality ... they are not. Proof being the ratings drops while Punk was out nursing his foot.

So he can manage an NFL locker room but not a fake fighting one? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He can ask dixie carter also

When has Tony managed an NFL locker room? 💁‍♂️

@@turtlehead2 he doesn’t manage the jaguars locker room though

tony is a little child playing GM mode on a knockoff version of a WWE 2k game. Just watch him during punk's interview. He just sat there and let punk air the proverbial dirty laundry in front of the whole world. And you could tell that punk knew full well that whatever he chose to say, tony would not step in and shut him up or at least redirect the questions/conversation. This is why he should just do what he does with his American Football and REAL football teams and let people who know what the hell they're doing and can actually command the respect of the locker room handle things. Grow up Tony! Stop playing at being a boss and just hire a damn booker and talent relations guy.

It's genuinely funny when people pull shit out of their ass to bash successful people

Sure, at least there wasn't armageddon in the locker room, though.

Ya mean the Kitchen? "Back-of-house" ..

@@floorboss The kitchen is included in BOH for sure. But there's a lot more that goes on in a restaurant than just cooking food.

@@floorboss Says the guy with the name floor boss. Irony much?

@@brysoncherry9884 Somebody really uncreative sounds jealous. Hmmm.

@@wuztron I aint talking about food. Or where it's cooked. "The Kitchen" refers to in-house workers only area.

They’re scared of not being invited back by Khan

It's because they've no journalistic integrity...any other sport field the journalist would press for more

@@jonjohnson1978. that what I mean by an opportunity that every reporter or journalist wait for… any real one would press CM Punk with more question and to elaborate or clarify what he meant… they said more after the fact and preferred hearsay over actually doing their jobs … anyone having any sympathy for them obviously has no envy to actually look at the readily available footage… they are without a doubt dirtsheets.

@@DivertingTales speaking under your breath is not standing your ground … if it was so false he would have yelled it out instead of being as vocal As a church mouse.

He can be both. The terms aren’t mutually exclusive.

@@nox7282 Punk wouldnt be putting over MJFs talent if he legit thinks MJF is a pr*ck..When Punk is upset with someone, those two terms ARE mutually exclusive...Notice how he didnt put over Adam Pages or the Young Bucks talent?

@@nox7282 Regardless, Punk wouldn’t be working with MJF in a 5-month program if he didn’t enjoy working with him.

LOL another delusional mark trying to claim it is a work.

@The Baddestman Punk says it's not the case and Khan says it's not the case. Whether or not you believe them is up to you but let's take Punk out of the equation for a moment. Was Cabana actually doing anything of note in AEW? No. He wasn't in line for any kind of big push even before Punk got there. So purely from the point of view of managing rosters it makes absolute sense to move him to ROH.

To your point about talent praising TK and other vets - I notice the same thing - I do believe there's a side of the AEW locker room that sees "The Elite" guys merely as jackoffs who only help themselves and their friends & then I think there's another side of the AEW locker room that is pissed off or jealous that ex-WWE guys are getting both more TV time or more pay. The rest of the locker room is indifferent and just does their job. But I see that as two major sides colliding moving forward.

If you want to see how much love The Elite get, all you gotta do is watch current episodes of BTE and see how many AEW wrestlers outside a select few, no longer appear on that show.

Bryan and Dave are friends with the Bucks, so of course they're gonna pin everything 100% on the Punk just like the Bucks, I mean their super secret sources in AEW, tell them.

The first stories to do with Cabana also said that it was the Young Bucks who supposedly “saved” Cabanas career…

He legit sat there and did nothing while Punk buried the whole company.

@@goodolbrad3 No, he made it very clear he had specific issues with one kliq in particular. Not the whole company.

All while the Bucks and Omega are doing their best to sully Punk's name and possibly get him fired. These stories and the way they are reported on are examples of why our media is fucking horrible. It was so obvious that the "elite" were the ones leaking the stories about Punk wanting to leave a few weeks ago yet I don't see them getting criticized like Punk is. The 'elite' are bigger locker room cancers than Punk could ever be.

Complete bullshit! 😂

Vince was the nicest boss. What other boss would pay off cops to keep you out of prison for murder and turn a blind eye to molesting ring boys?

100% just like any good boss would do. You're there to make money, not friends.

You can be a nice boss, but you can also be a fair boss. Typically people hate their boss when their boss holds them accountable to their work. Yes, there are bad bosses, who are jerks for petty reasons, but in most cases those people don't last in those positions long.

@@mervstash3692 Agreed 100% Just like what I would tell my employees; It's good for the customer. It's good for the company. It's good for you.

@@mervstash3692 Well said.

Tbh he doesn’t need to. I’m sure he still would depending on who says it.

@@smac919 It was Jim Ross, Billy Gunn and Arn.

What these older guys don't understand is that maybe all their advice isn't actually worth listening to. Wrestling is a constantly evolving artform. Sure there are plenty of things to learn from previous generations of artists, but you also have to be willing to throw some of that away and embrace what you're ready to offer. Sometimes these older guys give out of touch advice and the younger dudes don't take it. Just look at how JR tried to convince TK that Orange Cassidy wasn't going to work. Then he went on to become one of their most over wrestlers and biggest merch movers. Being experienced doesn't mean you always know what's best.

It’s a narrow minded point of view to disregard the advice of the people who toured 345 days a year multiple times a week by a rental car getting paid shit- these guys did that so the next generation had an easier time. These guys are irreplaceable and have forgotten more about wrestling than these EVP cunts have ever known.

@@chernobylhobo7793 I stopped reading the moment I saw the word "artform." Some Kenny Omega ballet school stuff right there

Oh the SPIN IS IN FULL EFFECT!!!💯🤣

nah, punk is an egotistical prick. If you aren't on his side he'll be pissed at you.

All Friends Wrestling wasn't a bad thing, he said.

These two are the biggest jokes and "wrestling journalism" and that's saying a *lot* LOL My absolute favorite part of the scrum was Punk calling out Alvarez "you mad at me?" I would say that I wished I could have seen Alvarez face at that moment but I already know what it was, sitting back with that smug smile on his face trying to pretend he's a journalist when he's nothing but a cheerleader, a rumor mongerer, and the mouthpiece for the worst elements of aew as a company.

@@jamesmiller5331 Alvarez would kill punk in a shoot fight lol considering his jiu jitsu background, but so would half the AEW locker room in all fairness

Wrestling journalism is a plague, My friend. I was gonna stop watching wrestling so many times because of the dirt sheets moving the fans like puppets.

@@shaytanszenith887 its weird i like reading them but i absolutely hate HATE HATE their effect on booking... they fucked over rybacks push with their crap

It’s like they have their own little world and live in a fake reality like if the Observer said it’s truth these puppets repeat these opinions as they’re facts and it’s mind numbing like these nerds bury legends like Nash and Sid Vicious but praise Omega and “Work Rate Wrestlers”

Kinda funny to see people decrying wrestling "dirt sheets" as the scourge of the industry on....a wrestling dirt sheet RU-vid channel. Punk is pretty clearly stirring shit in the locker room that some people do not like, and we've all been hanging on every new detail for the last half a day. So maybe the the dirt sheets aren't as bad as you think they are

@@sudduthm2 oh stop it yet it’s ok for the observer fans to shit on WWE all day everyday but they continue to watch and click on videos about WWE and spew constant negativity about a company they hate so much they can’t stop watching

Swerve and Punk.

da fuck is he gonna do lmfao. he's a fucking MARK. he LITERALLY does not possess the balls to do something. all he could do is pay them more money if they promise to play nice. thats his only hope.

GWS.

It's only obvious

Regardless, its been great for them. It's all everyone is talking about.

Because they work for AEW

@@m8datmoney837 yeah, they have interviewed Tony Khan several times it's clear they are biased shills for AEW.

@@m8datmoney837 you mean they work for the Young Bucks.

What did they say wrong, idiot

@@notgonnapay lol same shit different name

When no one challenged the elite for the top spots, everyone got along. Who would have thought?

Shades od HBK and Bret Hart. Funny because Hangman never said that publicly about working with anyone.

I know somewhere Hangman said he's the type to like to fail so he can truly learn from mistakes and get better. Bryan and Regal were hosting in ring lessons before he got hurt. Jade and Velvet took park and Jade saw some improvement. I think what Hangman said was a little blown up. But Regal and Bryan made it a point to say there ring practices are open to whoever wants to be there at 11am at the arena. No phones. old school. SOME show up.

Didn’t he say it was just hangman not talking advice?

It was that dumbass Hagman. Pretty sure the part about MJF was a work but I can't be certain anymore

@@TerrelLism here’s the issue with that. You only take in so much of your mistakes other mistakes will go unchecked. You need those great minds. You need the advice they’ll give you so you can grow and become a better version of yourself. That’s what Adam fails to understand.

This is why I scratched my head at people like William regal leaving WwE ( to go to aew) the man is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on what to do/ not to do (along with mark Henry, Paul wright, sting,Chris jericho all of who worked at wcw) and in this current situation would be willing to circle the wagon around tony and offer good advice which is needed right now

Nope it was nick dismore, the brains of the operation

Yeah, he's popular and draws money.

The problem is Punk throwing name without providing a proof just like the rumor of him making Colt Cabana lose his job. He was the ones that start talking about it publicly and now he doing the same to the evp. The way I see it, punk when heel and targeted the evp and AEW hardcore fan that has good memories about PWG. I feel like he was piss at Omega promo the first night that said aew will continue to provide match of every variety and said aew is not for tribute match.

Yep, finally someone nailed the exact issue. Tony created a problem with his expensive new toys versus his cheaper old ones.

FTR has totally outperformed the Bucks.

How they are upset?? Why?? Punk is literally swinging jabs in the air like the drunk uncle at christmas trying to ruin everyone's party by his own. All this situation started out of a microscopical issue that he turned into complete chaos by himself. If this is not a work, he's just a complete manchild with his head tucked up his ass.

The same thing happened in WCW, where they held back young talent for too long. The Bucks and Omega also aren't much younger than Hogan/Hall/Nash at the point their joined WCW. By the time they started pushing younger talent like Benoit and Booker T to the main card, it was already too late. It's not late for AEW, but this is definitely a teaching moment. The Bucks have been reluctant to let FTR go over, even though they are having their best year on record. There are also plenty of younger up and comers like MJF who look like promising main eventers. AEW has the recipe for success, they just need to not be their own worst enemies.

He's dealt with NFL football players. Same difference

Tony is also a weak spaced out dork so it's not surprising. You can't run a business trying to be friends with all the wrestlers.

@@shivajones108 You don't know to what extend and to what success he has dealt with that.

Interesting how there were some issues over booking and place on the card but nothing in the locker room until Punk showed up. Tony handled lots of egos just fine in soccer, football, and wrestling. Punk just happens to be a toxic jerk. The sooner he is cut the sooner the company can heal and then grow again.

@@rriggs6547 The coaches handle the players in football not the son of the owner.

That's exactly what Punk was trying to get him to do. If you payed attention to what he said, Punk wants Tony and AEW to succeed. The EVPs want their comedy acrobat buddies to succeed (putting them over, of course).

@@OllieByGolly My take is Tony should fire Punk for his unprofessional attitude and causing a toxic work environment. He may be a huge draw, but if the place goes to crap because of him it isn't worth it.

@@OllieByGolly It's not Punk's job to teach TK how to run a company. TK is a grown ass man and the guy that writes the checks, he should be checking Punk for airing all this dirty laundry and making sure this doesn't continue.

@@jasonh.2439 he shoud of checked hangman and made it clear he was out of line, page had his say now punk has, irony being punk was mad at them for going to the dirtsheets n they go right back after the bucks punk confrontation post presser 🤣

@@jasonh.2439 But Tony doesn't care. Tony may look like a grown ass man, but he is still a child because he has never had to do anything for himself as daddy did everything for him. He is a mark that wants to be buddies with the talent then find cameras to tell the world how great he is. He has no clue how to run a business or act like an adult.

Punk was Fox and the Bucks played Pichu

Really disappointed in punk, but TK needs to make a stand here.

@@joker-sh5hv TK is a mark like MJF said.

@@woiku NO one cares about CM Karen. He's universally hated. He's backstage cancer and is the reason AEW can't beat Raw in the ratings anymore. Ponk's simps are just as bad, look in the mirror.

@@woiku Not true. AEW didn't beat WWE in the ratings even once after Ponk was hired, lol. The ratings are down, the buy rates are down, and the TV deal is in big trouble. You're not even a real wrestling fan, just a Ponk fanboy. AEW is dying, lol.

@@joker-sh5hv Punk been through so much shit cause of Colt Cabana, that he didn't want more shit. Colt is a dirt sheet wrestler. Punk went out to explain the why of his differences with Hangman. And Punk didn't like that EVPs sided with Hangman or Colt or both to some extent unknown...

wtf are you talking about? you take notes on tk facial expressions ? lol you smarks are weird

its almost like DIFFERENT PEOPLE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. thats not a wrestling thing or an "old school" thing bud.

Dude! Best comment here! Simple, and correct. I knew once punk came in he was gonna take all the spots that the guys who have been working their asses off deserve. I just hope MJF finally takes the title away from him for good. Old man needs to let the real talent shine. He should have never beaten hangman. It should have been MJF.

Nobody cares about the women wrestlers.. They're just used to keep up with the diversity demands..

Some people thought Cody was a fool to leave. Now, he's probably going to become a world champ over there while AEW's stars eat each other.

I really wonder what happened between Cody and the Elite even more now.

Bro…I wish I could find what I wrote when Cody left. I said what if Cody knows backstage stuff we don’t know that will come out eventually? Can you believe this?

@@rameenakb It's an interesting dynamic. Cody is far too professional to cause conflict so the whole situation was radio silence. Punk isn't afraid of conflict however, and it's all combusting in a very major way. I like the Elite as wrestlers, but it appears to me them as powerful people in the company politically is a recipe for disaster.

@@gregthegroove Thank you Captain Obvious.

If tony lets omega and the bucks walk over punk, hes a fool. Punk needs aew, aew dont need punk. They were doing fine without him

@@liquidfox4743 You mean like how the rantings drop like a rock whenever Punk isn't on screen? Yeah.... AEW doesn't need him at all!

@@OllieByGolly AEW was slowly but steadily growing before Punk and Danielson. Yes they brought in a lot of people in the short run. But I think Punk has shown that, just like in ROH and WWE, he is toxic and creates issues. Will AEW take a hit? Yes, in the short term. But I think it will make them stronger in the long run.

@@rriggs6547 He didn't create this issue though.

​​@@liquidfox4743 Other way around. Uncle Phil can sit on the couch and do nothing for the rest of his life. AEW needs him badly. Kennys return lost them 200,000 viewers, lmao. Omega and the Bucks are worthless to this company, they're no names that nobody recognizes who think their antics on a small RU-vid show make them as big as Brock and Roman.

amen fuck the bucks

Next time on being the elite

@@johnm140 they didn’t publish one for the first time in god knows how long on a Monday. What a bad ass angle this is if it is a work. If it’s a shoot it’s even better!

I rewatched that hangman promo recently and dude, you have to want that to be referencing Cabana to get that out of it. It's a serious reach

punk is a goddamn child and should solve this stuff behind closed doors.

​@@deedeethedog05 exactly, it's intentionally vague, and wasn't going to cost any money unless Punk would've let it, which would've been on him and nit Page.

@@deedeethedog05 Cabana wasn't appearing on TV, Dark Order wasn't getting TV time, Angels contract wasn't renewed. All that happend people blamed Punk for that and Hang cut that promo. Us fans, didn't knew he was referring to Colt, but the backstage knew and people started to talk about

@@marcot9289 like I said, that's a serious reach. You're reaching and punk is reaching.

He also didn’t get along with the evp’s, get it yet?

My response was that AEW shouldn't hire Punk as he creates drama everywhere he goes. No drama before Punk. Now drama.

He's on AEW payroll

He said Nick, not Nick Jackson. It's hard for you to realise but there could be 2 Nicks in the 2nd biggest wrestling company in the world.

@@srirams2227 Comarato?

@@srirams2227 how many other evp's are called Nick? Yeah none so STFU

Even better if thier not. Work the media as well.

This is exactly how I feel. Well said.

this isn't a work. this is one of aew's biggest stars effectively accusing the young bucks of making up stories about him to wrestling journalists. he is clearly pissed off & the fact khan didn't end the press conference tells me he agrees with punk.

absolutely. except the media part, these idiots get worked more than anyone. i like dave and bryan but they get worked CONSTANTLY. they might be in on some things obviously, but they also get workeddddd.

@@Christopher-dd1ph I add the media part just because I have to question how Dave, Sean, etc. get their insider information. I'm sure part of it is wrestlers submitting stuff anonymously, but I bet there's some kind of deal with the higher-ups too since the information benefits both parties. But yeah like you said, I can also totally picture wrestling companies playing the media like a fiddle. The media only knows what the companies tells them, right?

Well you are

@@khanyisasimelela1522 I mentioned it, yes, yes I did.

@@MisaToTheMax facts lol

Nobody's talking about MJF's return either - which was supposed to be the thing.

Mind, the beginning of the clip is Dave claiming the show started with Larry the dog running to the ring, Bryan saying he didn't see Larry run to the ring, then Dave saying Larry didn't make it to the ring but was running around loose right before the show.
