TheScarlettChad Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Does he even make it to London? I mean they'll be taping collision after Dynamite right? It could explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Punk is just this weird contradiction of a bloke, isn't he? He seems to mostly hate the older generation of wrestlers who behaved like this when he was a young up-and-comer, but he's seemingly throwing his weight around now that the shoe's on the other foot. He shows up on TV wearing a SAG-AFTRA shirt, mere weeks after boasting of his relationship with David Zaslav. Ultimately, though, all this backstage drama is just really, really dull. It isn't benefitting anyone and it feels like just knowing about any of it by osmosis can actively ruin one's enjoyment of AEW programming.

Or maybe he's a dickhead. Its hard to tell with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddymagic Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 PWTorch reports at the Dynamite that Punk had appeared shortly after his return, and Punk confronted Nemeth in the locker room. Sources told the media outlet that “Punk cornered Nemeth in the locker room, got inches from his face, and angrily and aggressively asked if they had a problem or if they needed to settle things outside.” Offering people outside. What an utter idiot this man is. A shadow of his former self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Ryan comes across as the loveliest guy on the roster, too. Punk should maybe spend a few days on the picket line with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Daddymagic said: fans don't seem to care one jot about him anymore. Have a word. He's gotten the loudest reception on just about every single broadcast he's been on since he got back, and he's second only to Orange Cassidy in merch sales right now. I imagine he walks into most of the Wembley 80,000's top three entrances they want to see on the night, as well. Collision's slowly turned into a great show. When/if this tedious newz starts to affect the product, so be it, but until then I'm enjoying the misanthropic, whacky world of CM Punk on my screen and not that arsed what ~Phil's been up to IRL.

Browser Brady Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 1 hour ago, SaitoRyo said: It's a reference to the popular Chappelle's Show sketches about Rick James in the 1980's, as told by Eddie Murphy's brother Charlie. If you haven't seen them, basically in one of them James (played by Dave Chappelle) shows up to Eddie's house high as a kite and purposefully destroys his new couch with his muddy cowboy boots. Bix is just making a (bad) joke about the latest Punk drama and how it is seemingly escalating week after week. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted August 14, 2023 Members Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) I'll be honest, I'm quite a placid person but if I ever got the chance to face someone that has chatted shit about me on Twitter, I'd probably want to confront* them as well. It's worth noting as well, that all these Twitter accounts etc exist for you to sign up 4 da scoops and they've all got their own agendas. Wrestling is full of absolute thin skinned babies and it will never, ever change. It's pathetic. Which is great obviously. *Politely, terribly apologetically and probably end up with me giving them all the money in my pockets but still.

SaitoRyo Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 CM Punk's greatest tribute to Bret Hart is keeping the lost art of beefing alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 At this stage, I have to believe that this is all leaning into the mixed reaction Punk's been getting on Collision. It has to be. The question is, what's the payoff? There's absolutely zero point in all of this unless there's a payoff where everyone makes money and people buy PPVs. If it's legit and Punk is just being a complete prick, then as much as I enjoy watching him on AEW, he has to go, doesn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 He's probably being a prick under the guise of "getting people talking" or whatever else. I highly doubt Tony is encouraging any of this bullshit. Its probably something he'd happily leave behind so he can actually focus on the company.

Joe Blog Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I hope someone sparks the cunt to be honest. Fair play if it’s all a ‘work’ but if he is genuinely cutting promos on Hangman off air and trying to intimidate people backstage then fuck him.

Rule One Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 No wonder he looks like he never sleeps, he probably argues with his own shadow these days. Also FUCK BIX. I hate to denigrate anyone but that low level Meltzer wannabe is a bottom feeder of the lowest common denominator. For a man who's stole from friends, colleagues and even his own damn government during a pandemic how can anyone view him as a viable source of even gossip. Cunt of the highest order that scrapes a living/attention from the wrestling public like he scrapes the skids of his shitty underpants. Shitarse cunt. TLDR: Fuck Bix. Have a nice day otherwise.
