David Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 2 minutes ago, TheScarlettChad said: Yes, By growing up. Not because his wife "dragged him into line". Its not her job to make a shitty guy a better person. It's a figure of speech. I don't mean she literally dragged him to some imaginary line. She will have provided him with some insight and life lessons that guys who are younger and single simply don't have. Being married, or even in a long-term relationship can often be the very thing needed for immature, daft young men to get their shit together. Basically, he's very likely a different person from the guy in that video. If he was married and settled down at that point and still coming out with that kind of stuff then it could be argued that he's not changed. I'd be very surprised if he hasn't.

TheScarlettChad Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 While its a fair point, we can still agree, its not a good look. And you can understand why folk in here, aren't exactly going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 30. He’s 44 now, he’s about early to mid 20’s there. I caveat this by saying I’ve not watched the clip but I’m 32 now and one look at my Facebook memories page shows me just how immature and dim-witted I was 7 years ago on any given day. People absolutely change as they grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 18, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2023 Just to clarify, he's bragging about using a position of trust to intentionally physically injure a woman and then emotionally manipulate her so that he doesn't have to pay for petrol money. This doesn't really come under immature "boys will be boys" stuff to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure people can change, but he still did that shit AND thought it was a brag worthy story. At 30. I’ve changed a lot over the years, but I was never a prick who took advantage of women and laughed about it. In my experience, a lot of those people just get better at hiding it, not nicer people. I can see why AEW employs so many wronguns though - they’ve all changed! Around 23 I think by his TWC t-shirt. He was in WWE when he was 27. Besides this all nonsense. No one is defending what he said, pointing out he’s, at least from what we can see, a better human now, is a fair assumption but none of us know for sure. Singling out one company is pathetic though as it’s an issue in all the major feds. It’s not even representing the topic of this thread. Again just to highlight that point, WWE hired him within a couple of years of this interview being released.

The debut of isn't for about a month, and I guarantee that nothing of any note will be said about this show before it even airs. It could be locked now and all the CM Punk chat could fuck off to the dedicated CM Punk chat thread. That would be far to simple so instead we are going to have to endure Tories talking about a Tory acting like a Tory spread across many threads. Perhaps we could go for a record and talk about Punk in all the AEW threads at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s pathetic is excusing one company because you like them. WWE were the worst for it, possibly still are, their fanboys excuse it. Even ROH fans turned a blind eye to paedo Feinstein and it being owned by a Christian fundamentalist MAGA organisation. before selling it to another MAGA arsehole.

Oh look the knight in shining white armour is back! You’ve missed the point entirely. The point is this video was from 20 years ago. It was in the public domain. No one gave a shit about it when he was signed by WWE. But somehow this now another cross against AEW for hiring him? Make it make sense (don’t bother, you can’t). However, the Punk from 20 years ago isn’t the same Punk that AEW signed, so this talk of “Oh AnOtHeR aEw WrOnG-uN” is just pathetic when no-one gave a shit at a time it actually was relevant. What do you actually allow yourself to enjoy? Because I’m struggling and also have no idea why you have so much to say about a product you don’t even watch.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean here. 1 minute ago, Hannibal Scorch said: No one gave a shit about it when he was signed by WWE You’re right. The WWE fanboys certainly didn’t, and now AEW fanboys don’t, like both sets don’t care when one of their team does something awful. It’s tribalistic bollocks that you’d expect from football fans. 5 minutes ago, Hannibal Scorch said: Because I’m struggling You certainly are 6 minutes ago, Hannibal Scorch said: why you have so much to say about a product you don’t even watch. I don’t talk about the product as I don’t watch it. I find it’s better not to talk about something you didn’t watch, as you come over as terribly silly.

I’ve noticed that Dynamite has started being shown on ITV1 earlier on Monday nights again that either they are gearing up for the UK event, or the contract is coming up and they are trying to look better to them.

Members SuperBacon Posted May 18, 2023 Members Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sorry to break up the amazing thread, but I cannot read the last few pages without thinking of one of the best ITYSL sketches. Fuck it, stop arguing and watch the sketch. Oh, and CM Punk lives rent free in all your heads. Phil forever x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
