Infinity Land Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 8 minutes ago, Louch said: Even punks camp dismissed the door being forced in story soon after it. They switched to “ I punched them as believed they were punching me soon” which is pretty weak. It wasn't dismissed it was toned down. Quote Those close to CM Punk and Ace Steel initially claimed that The Young Bucks pounded on the locker room door and after Punk did not answer, Matt and Nick Jackson "kicked the door down." People who have been in touch with CM Punk and Ace Steel have since softened on that claim, though, and Fightful Select noted CM Punk's side has instead stated that The Young Bucks "could have kicked, shouldered or otherwise forced their way in." Instead, "kicking the door down" was just a turn of phrase and they should have clarified.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Land Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Latest from WON and Dave The investigation was completed last week and ended with Chris Guy (Ace Steele) being let go, the buy-out talks with Punk, and the imminent return of The Elite. The Elite and Don Callis were backstage at the show in Norfolk, but did not appear on TV. Dave speculates that Full Gear would be a logical point for their return, but says nothing has actually been said or hinted to him as to when they might truly be back on TV. Many top stars (including Jericho) believe that Punk will not be back. One top star was quoted as saying Punk's value on screen isn't worth the hassle and dark cloud he brings backstage. A recap of the fight: The Bucks and AEW Head of Legal Megha Parekh went to Punk's locker room to discuss the press conference. There were various versions claiming the Bucks kicked the door down, which didn't happen. Punk punched Matt Jackson, Guy hit Nick Jackson with a steel chair and bit Kenny Omega on the arm. Dave recounts the Nick Hausman story about Punk and his dog and says that the obvious problem with the story is that there is no way this wouldn't have surfaced almost immediately, yet in almost 7-8 weeks, it never came up, and only came up when news of The Elite's return got out. Dave has quotes from several sources, including one not affiliated with either side (but who eventually became pro-Elite), that the whole dog story is a complete lie. According to this source, Punk couldn't give a fuck less about the dog and was a complete psycho, Kenny picked up the dog to protect it and gave it to Megha who was then holding the dog and screaming at Punk to stop. Punk still didn't stop. Dave says there were lawyers involved almost immediately from all sides, but as of right now, there has been no legal action and The Elite decided not to press charges. Dave says that usually the biggest star in a company would have the advantage, but even though in this case at least most of the top stars sided with The Elite, the investigation did clear The Elite and Chris Guy was fired and Punk is not coming back. He says there haven't been any actual talks with WWE and Punk because legally he's still under AEW contract at the moment and so they can't do that yet. Dave notes that obviously people on Punk's side won't change their feelings regardless of this outcome of the investigation, but he says that the whole situation should have been handled way back, even before Page's promo about workers' rights, when the Cabana situation (removing him from AEW and putting him in ROH) first happened and negativity about Punk began to rise among people in the locker room.

I love that in his gripebomb Punk challenged anyone who had a problem with him to come face him directly then refused to answer the door when they did exactly that. What a dickhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted October 28, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2022 There’s something really funny about Jericho popping his head in to Punk’s locker room on the way to the press conference, just to tell Punk he’s a dickhead. Obviously, Punk didn’t throw a punch at Jericho because Jericho is dead hard and has had fights with Goldberg and Lesnar, don’t you know. I think Chris himself may have mentioned it once or twice. But yeah. More fool The Elite. The blueprint for dodging CM Punk’s thunderous right hand has been out there for years.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
