Even outside of Punk there have been far too many instances of backstage disputes. Backstage drama is nothing new. Saw this in a tweet yesterday.

I may have missed it, but no one is talking about WWE being better backstage than AEW. That tweet got called out a tonne as well when I saw it yesterday. It's just whataboutery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted August 31, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2023 Plus several of those incidents involved people losing their jobs as a consequence, having one foot out the door already or trying to quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have clarified that. Edited August 31, 2023 by Hannibal Scorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 This is pathetic. This thread is pathetic. CM Punk is pathetic. Tony Khan is pathetic. The Bucks are pathetic. Punks dog is pathetic. Bryan Alvarez is pathetic. Jungle Boy is pathetic. Those muffins were pathetic. We're all pathetic for feeding into it. It's brilliant. Long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mal the Glorious Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I was really hoping there were going to be some Greggs muffins at the press conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most senior veterans who like to throw their weight around, he wouldn't feel like he has to tell Moxley what to do. He likely sees him as a fellow veteran. A former WWE guy who knows the business. Jack Perry is just an idiot. His comments during the All In show highlighted exactly that. If he'd done that kind of shit back in the 90's or so he'd have been found later that night tied to a telephone pole with no clothes on and his head and eyebrows shaved. Or would have come back to the locker room to see a steaming shite in his bag. 4 hours ago, TheScarlettChad said: And none of them did it again and again. Punk is consistently attacking geezers Who has he actually attacked though? The issue with Elite lads, for sure. Who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be there Khabib throwing the trolley at the bus moment in terms of pre-match video packages. Only it’s a middle aged malcontent throwing fists at a twink.
