Tony Khan Uses CM Punk For A RATINGS BOOST And Will Ospreay Responds To Triple H 

Thought the same tbh, This is very tame for a sports locker room """fight"""

I noticed hes been doing that lately😂

Punk probably wouldn’t even defend himself lol he wanted to get fired/quit and Jungle Jack was his excuse. When Punk got fired that was probably the happiest he’d been in months.

Jack Perry also threw a fit over CM Punk warning him about the dangers of performing a dangerous wrestling spot using real glass instead of fake glass manufactured specifically for that purpose.

I didn't hear any pity towards Perry. But unless he physically threatened Punk, Punk had no business touching him. Punk should've went out and had his match, then address the prick with Khan later. You can't start the fight then claim you were in the right.

​@Lord_Bibulous Punk told Tony Khan to deal with it before hand and Tony Khan did nothing

Bryan helped his boy out

People were like “Bryan Danielson betrayed his longtime friend Punk and stabbed him in the back!” Lol no Bryan definitely knew that his friend was miserable and didn’t want to be there and he helped him out. Punk wanted to be let go for MONTHS before Brawl In and that was his excuse to get Tony to fire him.

If what punk said is true then Danielson was definitely just backing up his boy that, at that point already verbally quit

Exactly.

Bryan knew there was no way for the locker room as a whole to come back from that. Even if he considered Punk in the right, it's clearly far too clique-y for him to ever properly prosper there.

All because CM Punk did what he promised in his debut promo: Offer veteran advice and mentorship to the youngsters in the back. What did he get in return? Jack Perry throwing a toddler tantrum over Punk advising him of the unnecessary danger of using real glass in a wrestling spot instead of fake. Followed by Jack performing the stunt with said real glass and openly mocking Punk on live television. Finally, Jack Perry mouthing off to Punk when Punk took offense, leading to the "brawl". When Punk spat out "I'm hurt and I'm old and I'm fucking tired and I work with fucking children!", he really meant it as this whole incident proves.

@@emirlsanchos6302 yep and don't forget jungle boy cursing out people, including Schiavonie backstage. You get it. Here have a 🍪. Ha.

@@emirlsanchos6302 Tell me, when Punk's telling lies. Here have a 🍪. Ha.

@@emirlsanchos6302 oh, I already gave a cookie. Oh well, it was a good comment. Enjoy. Ha.

@@scrappy93 that's a good point everyone's overlooking. Here have a 🍪. Ha.

Yeah you can see it in his face he was like "ugh I thought I was done with this shit 20 years ago 🤦🏾"

That was the face of a defeated man.

The timing of this Episode coincides with the 24th anniversary of the first episode of WCW Monday Nitro of the Bishoff/Russo Creative Regime so read into that what you will.

@@hawk494edward Oof

I seen a pic with Tony's reaction to this and one from WCW and you can tell he was having flashbacks lol

Tony's next idea...BRAWL 4 ALL!!!

Then we'll need Brawl Under

@@slugdoom5373in the Down Under

@@TheBlackScatPack Sounds like a great PLE. 😂

How, It's Jack Perry, he's a 26 year old flippy wrestler who was chocked by a 40 year vet out of nowhere. If it was someone like Jon Moxley or Eddie Kingston who present themselves as tough guys who fight on tv and they get manhandled by Punk then yeah that's losing credibility. But Jack Perry lost nothing other than getting meme'd on.

​@adultishgambino1 if you tell a guy do something about it, and he does something about it. Then you look like a gigantic bitch.

​@@adultishgambino1 100% exactly! ..... And frankly, had that lasted another few seconds, or even a minute, there's a strong chance Perry kicks the shit out of Punk and his fragile body.

@@adultishgambino1 Is that why they were chanting “You got choked out!” at him on Saturday when he made his “big return”’to the states? 😂 They just showed him getting punked out after he disrespected a veteran and star on TV for their entire audience. He wasn’t really any kind of draw to begin with. Whatever value he had? Done.

@@michaelfitzgerald5207 😂 For a “fragile guy”, why did he end that fight in a matter of seconds? I get it, it’s fun to take pot shots at Punk for his injuries and his UFC record against more experienced fighters, but the fact is he was still trained by a camp of great trainers and he’s a blue belt in BJJ and practices Muay Thai. Perry had as much chance of winning that fight as this comment page does of going on a date with Tiffany Stratton. Lol Let’s not try and gas this Perry kid up, he’s a nobody who’s never drawn anything in the business yet acts like he’s a star. He’s not even half the star his dad was.

Aye, HHH has always lived and breathed pro wrestling! Say what we want about his ego, but there's little reason to doubt he would have been a huge star regardless of who he married.

its literally only been 6 weeks since the last time dynamite did better numbers then the punk footage show, wtf is tony celebrating for he didnt even get a boost

Tk acted like it was 2.5 mill and it beat raw

@@bash8387 that's a stretch lol

am i in clown world ? PUNK SAID HE CHOKED HIM YET HE SUCKER PUNCHED HIM

It’s even better that Punk admitted he was unprofessional. All it does it prove Punk right and make Tony out to be a whiny coward goof.

It’s scary how indoctrinated some of those people truly are. It’s like a full blown cult.

It IS unprofessional to attack someone who’s clearly not attacking or harassing you. Yes, Jack Perry was an idiot with his behaviour to begin with, and Tony Khan only aired the footage seven months later because of immaturity, but what CM Punk did was still as unprofessional as it gets.

@@ryanodonovan9497 No more unprofessional than Perry going into business for himself on live tv with his going offscript shooting AND by using real glass in a spot with Hook, which could have endangered Hook’s safety as well as his own. Punk asked Tony to handle this situation multiple times, and Tony didn’t do anything. When your boss lets other employees do whatever they want to you, ignore your requests for mediation, won’t release you from your contract and stand right there while others feel they can disrespect you to your face as Tony did, at some point, everyone has a breaking point. Tony didn’t handle it, so Punk did. You can only tolerate so much disrespect before you have to draw a line.

Jack is a cocky nepo baby

Come on bro keep preaching the truth!

​@@KAR5AVATARGThe always conveniently ignores stuff like that

​@@KAR5AVATARGTthat's right he did course out Tony Dr Sampson I forgot the other 2 but when Punk went to talk to him it seemed to be a normal convo. So could Jack have said cry me a river to the people he swore at. Either way Punk being the Vet and locker room leader should've ignored it Perry shouldnt of said shit and this video should not have been aired and all the blame is on Tony Khan

It takes a bigger man to avoid a fight than to jump on some jerkoff who makes dbag comments. That's being an adult.

Frustrating that Jason seems to be glossing that over.

@@Jeff_Prycehe has a hate boner for cm punk. lol

You realize that the people asked him to confront Jack at Collision months prior, right? Not at All In? You’re mixing the two stories together.

​​@@Jeff_Pryce He never glossed over that. You're conflating two different incidents

@@phoenixmodellingphotography Doesn’t change the fact that Tony should have stepped in, and that Perry is apparently a prima Donna douche. Who the hell would disrespect Tony Schiavone, a guy who’s worked with Ric Flair, Sting and all the greats since the 80s? He’s very well respected in the business. For Perry to curse him out tells me that this kid has no respect for anyone.

Sheldon Cooper says hi! 😉

Penny says hi😄

Tony sucks!

Somebody needs to make a video splicing in CM Punk's interpretation of events with the footage itself, which will REALLY drive home how on point he is.

anybody with a brain did

I heard Arial (sorry I have no clue how to spell his name) already did but AEW copyright claimed it and it got pulled

@@emirlsanchos6302 Ariel Helwani from the MMA Hour the guy who interviewed Punk did

​@@kurtisbased183 Damn. You took my comment

Because in TK's mind people would simply see Punk as the "Aggressor". And focus on that. Instead of focusing on how weak of a skirmish that was. And how bad it makes him look to say he was afraid LOL

​@kevinlee9929 LMAO I Absolutely agree 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂

😂😂😂

Not really he got fired they brought in punk punk is an old broken man gets hurt to much I bet when he comes back he’s gonna get hurt again he can’t keep up in aew or wwe soon he’ll see that weak body strong mouth 😢

​@@joseconcepcion6949Yes really. That "old broken man" beat up both Young Bucks at the same time, chewed out and choked out Jungle Girl, and made Tony Clown cry. Not exactly a good look for the Elite and their "boss" is it?

this strawman 1997 comparison to 2024 sucks ands you know it. loser.

Also, Jericho attacking Goldberg after they got into an argument.

And Rick Rude knocking out the Ultimate Warrior. And Kevin Nash slapping Samoa Joe. This stuff just happens in wrestling sometimes.

These people don't understand how the wrestling business works. Like Matt Morgan explained on his podcast, even 2024 there are backstage "dust ups" because these people are athletes with alpha personalities.

Are you intentionally saying that Punk has the intellect of bear?

@@joshwent Not even remotely. That’s a very common expression. It means you don’t pick a fight with someone who isn’t to be trifled with.

He was probably like not the $hit again

I don't. He's making big money and he's not being held hostage! He's there cos he wants to be!

@@maggielusk6833 He's getting paid for some of the most useless commentary in the history of the business - and for asking one generic question in the interviews-that-aren't-interviews before the wrestlers take the mike away from him and do their normal solo promo, while he stands around looking like an idiot who just pissed himself in public. Every goddamn week! Schiavone was always the shits on commentary (especially in later WCW), but he used to be a good interviewer and announcer in the 1980s. There's a reason why he only lasted one year in the WWF, between JCP and WCW. He couldn't hang with Ventura, Monsoon, Heenan, Hayes on commentary. There's a reason why he never worked for the WWF/WWE again after WCW's collapse. They even told him - in no uncertain terms - to not contact the WWE offices for a job anymore. There's also a reason why Bobby Heenan hated his guts in WCW. But that was for behind-the-scenes stuff that affected the on-air product and the workplace climate negatively. I don't think Schiavone ever got over the fact that the Turner brass chose Bischoff over him, when they both applied for the position with written concepts. Gene Okerlund confirmed in interviews that Schiavone actively sabotaged Heenan and other commentators/announcers in WCW. AEW has no concept of how to do in-ring interviews. The interviewer should never give up the mike, unless it's a rare exception to give a heel unusual heat, by demonstrating utter disrespect. Nobody EVER took the mike away from people like Gene Okerlund or Lance Russell, unless it was for an extraordinary reason. If you want a solo or double promo, let the wrestlers come out by themselves with a mike. An interview is not a promo, the interviewer controls and moderates the situation 99% of the time - and when they can't, it MEANS SOMETHING. These two settings/scenarios (with or without an interviewer) exist for a reason. They serve similar but different purposes. A solo promo is just a wild guy talking and bragging, a double promo is two guys yelling, insulting, and threatening each other. It's on the show, but it could be in the parking lot or in the hotel bar, just as well. An interview is "official", the interviewees doesn't get to (kayfabe) say what they want, how they want, for however long they want, there are rules, set by the promotion and the TV network. If they go over the line, the interviewer lays down the law. If they do it again, the interviewer cuts them off by ending the interview. If it gets violent, the promotion imposes sanctions on them - or punishes them with harsh match stipulations. All of this crap used to mean something and was understood by a huge mainstream audience, without even knowing it.

I wouldn't say 'WCW 2000', that was a mess on all fronts. I feel the more accurate answer would be TNA 2010.

​@@ThunderTHRor 2019 Smackdown

He ain't cooking nothing, its not food network

It wasn’t about well

Yeah, the part about Stephanie is pretty damn low. Also, did you see the look on Renee's face when he said that about her? They're good friends from I have seen and Renee obviously didn't like that and I hope she told Will to fuck off backstage.

Hhh isn't the type of person to bury someone for doing what's right for there family. They are global juggernaut that has contracts negotiations all year. They been saying that about the grind for years .. the world doesn't revole around willy lol

Say what you will about what Triple H said; he has both merits and faults in that statement. But bringing a man’s wife into the discussion as a shot at them is uncalled for.

It’s funny they were doing like 850 k a month ago

yeah like you've never seen him do a segment with a heel before. jesus the level of cope. next you going to tell me Renee felt "uncomfortable" during the Ospeay promo? it's like you guys have never seen these "performers" before.

Bingo. That is the core problem in AEW. The culture. There’s no leadership, no structure, and apparently no goals. It’s not about making money and selling tickets and getting fans into the buildings. It’s about that Meltzer indy workrate horsecrap with no build or storylines which does nothing to make money.

Honestly, Paul Levesque was able to use his backstage politics and his alliance with people who had stroke backstage such as Shawn Michaels. Paul Levesque was established before his even worked with Stephenie McMahon. He did work hard but he also knew how to play the game, pun intended.

And either way, it was lose/lose in terms of the ratings. If it’s a success, then it means that AEW had to lean on Punk to draw, and if it was a failure, it means that even CM Punk can’t make anyone care about the Young Bucks.

@Kratosx23 very true, obviously it's also a gamble because now will there be a huge drop in fans for Wednesday with ones they've ran off due to it

And then the next quarter lost more fans than the Punk quarter gained... and without looking at it, I think it just kept dropping after that. Versus... y'know, months ago when they did Samoa Joe vs Hook and drew an extra 100,000 eyeballs for that.

They captured the curiosity of a sizable group of people to give it a watch. But those people will definitely not be back next week and my guess is that they lost some longtime fans after that stunt.

They can’t say Punk’s name. So this was all an exercise in futility.

I think he was probably trying to talk himself into staying to get the rest of that money. But more things kept happening and his patience started wearing thinner. When Tony didn’t step in to discipline Perry at All In, that was the final straw for Punk. You can only go to management so many times for help and get turned down before you finally say, “The hell with this place, I’m outta here.”

I don't think he'd be able to deliver as a performer.

The last thing this world needs is that goofy little man with a live mic.

Would definitely more likely resemble End Times WCW Russo than either Mr. M or Easy E at the height of their peaks?😳
