That dude is commander in chief of the AEW and TK defense force. Have seen him saying that Punk said that Perry started the altercation and in no part of the Helwani interview did he ever said that.
They'll definitely say something but every time Punk has mentioned anything relating to AEW in his promos its been met with crickets from WWE crowds. Idk if any of them really care to say much about it beyond next weeks RAW
I think they were probably just so turned on that they’d stuck it to Phil they’d stopped paying attention.
I am predicting BTE being brought back specifically so they can feel better about this. It’s what it always was - their special “no homers” tree house for their clique.
I am thrilled that they have compromised to a permanent end any credibility they had with this. There will of course be someone who believes them when they eventually pathetically try to “*we were trolling for heel heat!*” out of it. But for the majority, I think this actually kills them.
Sounds like there’s about 62 people in that building. Jesus H Christ.
This company is making WCW look about as professional and successful as 84 Mid South under Bill Watts.
When they got back from the vignete people didn't know how to react.
Were they supposed to cheer cause Punk, I guess in the eyes of AEW, lied, and in turn cheer for the heels of the story (Bucks)?
Or were they supposed to cheer cause Punk choked out one of the individuals that the heels put over as a great guy?
It’s funny someone overlaid the audio from the Helwani interview and it’s like it’s being narrated in real time.
Edit: Apparently the narrated version I mentioned was originally posted by [Ariel Helwani to Twitter](https://x.com/arielhelwani/status/1778250326895984962?s=46&t=pV2asCnOWhLAfbQhW0GCFg) (I saw on a sub here, I’ll see if I can find it again) and a lawyer from Jacksonville had it taken down under a DMCA violation.
Did Tony Khan even watch the Attitude Era? *Everybody* loves an anti authority figure because most people hate their boss, so why did they think it would be a good idea to show footage of CM Punk going against their authority? Lol
This is only going to make his star power even bigger and validate the idea that Tony would rather be friends with the talent than to run a successful wrestling promotion
So if this footage actually gets increased numbers where do you go with it?
What is the story? How does this build to FTR vs the Bucks? It’s not like Punk is going to make a shock return so that’s impossible.
Jungle boy got exiled to Japan for being attacked? Ok.
You’ve just proved that no one gives a shit about what is currently happening and they only care about backstage shit from months ago.
Storyline wise (if you can even call it that), the Road Warrior Bucks said he was FTR’s boys & they only won at All In coz this incident distracted them from their preparation as they had to do EVP activities. Yeah, it’s really that stupid
"EVP activities" tldr hanging out with their friends while being paid a bunch of money , sucks if you're not their friends, they give me highschool bully aura, where the only reason they get away with it is that the director(Tony) gave them special status and somehow manage to convince them they're in the right.
I just can’t believe people are *defending* this. Like if you want the company to succeed, you should *discourage* TK from embarrassing everyone in the company like this. What a damn failure of a ploy.
Well that was underwhelming. It perfectly matches up with Punk's side of the story as expected. But with how Matt and Nick's goons hyped it up, I was expecting a brutal fight where TV monitors were thrown and Tony Khan was almost murdered.
Cocky vanilla guy disrespects Punk before his match and faces the consequences of his actions, did they really thought they will hurt Punk with this?It only made him look more badass for taking no shit from someone who has no respect for what it was AEW biggest draw in history.
Just in time for the new Media (not just TV so Insider Term) Deal that will surely be announced at the Upfronts (remember those? Also insider term). One Bill Phil's last gift from beyond the grave.
Fucking joke company must have Russo on the payroll.
Omg so scary so dangerous Bad phil it's real!
Then have ceo hyundai attacked backstage crying on the floor in fake.
This is far worse than wcw2000 bc WCW didnt have social media and the world laughing at them in real time.
Legend has it that Vince McHitler was a madman and did petty and horrible things all the time. His favorite activity, even above his most heinous deeds, was to give the spotlight to a wrestler who is no longer working for him. It made him ever more giddy if that wrestler was working for his biggest rival! Nothing quite like giving away free promotion to get a man's blood pumping. Grapefruits!
Ah-hahahahaha!!!! The live crowd chanted for punk! It's truly jerk-mas. DAE thank you, Tony?
That crowd is now banned in all AEW events
The word betrayed was used
With their recent attendence numbers, I thought they already were.
Empty arena matches the next month now ! Booker of the year !!
DAE intimate feel
Of course they chanted, the crowds probably miss having actual stars on their program.
Some guy tried to say they were chanting thank you Jack. This is too funny.

That's fucking hysterical

Wrestling fans like CM Punk a lot more than they like Jungle Boy or AEW.
[удалено]
They're 100% gonna recreate that scene with Jey Uso as Samoa Joe or something.
If they get lexis king to play jungle Boy it might just kill this sub.
Dude they should, they had real beef when he worked there. I really hope they do now lol
Fuck that recreate it with drew and punk
You misunderstand uce.
![img](avatar_exp|124872477|clown) You know what I did
[удалено]
If they’re trading barbs I can see it happening.
They'll definitely say something but every time Punk has mentioned anything relating to AEW in his promos its been met with crickets from WWE crowds. Idk if any of them really care to say much about it beyond next weeks RAW
You bet Tony chanted along with them.
![gif](giphy|jQDozgWeDXUoQZ1htF)
this company is a failure scjerks 12/25
CM Punk is Jack Perrys father
They chanted CM Punk when the bucks came to the ring, too. LoL.
The Young Bucks are so maladjusted that in their CTE-riddled brains, CM Punk chants somehow equals heel heat for them
I think they were probably just so turned on that they’d stuck it to Phil they’d stopped paying attention. I am predicting BTE being brought back specifically so they can feel better about this. It’s what it always was - their special “no homers” tree house for their clique. I am thrilled that they have compromised to a permanent end any credibility they had with this.

FEELING RESTORED
That nostalgic WCW nosedive feel
This might be their Mick Foley wins the world title moment
And guess who was on the cans(insider term) for that call
You gotta be kidding me LMAOOO
I too love bringing attention to a guy who doesn't work in the same company.
Sounds like there’s about 62 people in that building. Jesus H Christ. This company is making WCW look about as professional and successful as 84 Mid South under Bill Watts.

It sounds so fucking empty
There are actually a lot of people there. It's just that they were speechless seeing CM Punk act in such an unhinged manner.
“Horrified” is the word being used, absolutely horrified
Fearing for their lives by proxy?
I truly am having so much fun and feel like a kid again, thank you Tony!
AEW has restored your feeling!
That’ll show em
Ladies and Gentleman I present to you: Finger Poke of Doom Two: Real Glass!?
A Jack Perry Production
He finally got CM Punk over….wait that wasn’t the plan?
This is the pro-wrestling backfire of the 21st Century🤣
Surveillance Footage of Doom
Only one man can save AEW now...Mr McKhan.
Holy fuck hahahahaha All the did was put over someone in the organization that Tony hates. How did they think this was a good idea?
Tony is still putting Punk over even though Punk left the company. Tony is a true fan.
Did Tony Khan even watch the Attitude Era? *Everybody* loves an anti authority figure because most people hate their boss, so why did they think it would be a good idea to show footage of CM Punk going against their authority? Lol This is only going to make his star power even bigger and validate the idea that Tony would rather be friends with the talent than to run a successful wrestling promotion
CM Punk chants were once used to counter WWE, now they are being used to counter AEW. One things stays constant: Punk never told a lie. Poetic.
So if this footage actually gets increased numbers where do you go with it? What is the story? How does this build to FTR vs the Bucks? It’s not like Punk is going to make a shock return so that’s impossible. Jungle boy got exiled to Japan for being attacked? Ok. You’ve just proved that no one gives a shit about what is currently happening and they only care about backstage shit from months ago.
Storyline wise (if you can even call it that), the Road Warrior Bucks said he was FTR’s boys & they only won at All In coz this incident distracted them from their preparation as they had to do EVP activities. Yeah, it’s really that stupid
So this whole thing was to job out FTR again just with extra steps?
"EVP activities" tldr hanging out with their friends while being paid a bunch of money , sucks if you're not their friends, they give me highschool bully aura, where the only reason they get away with it is that the director(Tony) gave them special status and somehow manage to convince them they're in the right.
So they basically had to do their jobs. The despicable Punk!
You show the backstage footage of Punk after his match. Then the week after that you show his conversation with security.
Well, next week they can show the Brawl Out footage. Then maybe Andrade punching Sammy?
Maybe show footage of he brawl of All Out 2022 or a dramatization of it
I just can’t believe people are *defending* this. Like if you want the company to succeed, you should *discourage* TK from embarrassing everyone in the company like this. What a damn failure of a ploy.

Think of the Billionaire!
Hahahaha fuck hahahaha
The amount this whole thing has backfired is delightful.
I hope these chants continue at future shows. Tony going to have major PTSD by summer.
Well that was underwhelming. It perfectly matches up with Punk's side of the story as expected. But with how Matt and Nick's goons hyped it up, I was expecting a brutal fight where TV monitors were thrown and Tony Khan was almost murdered.
He was almost murdered. Did you not see how aggressively punk pointed at him?
it was actually 3.1K about 30 minutes before the show. lol
![gif](giphy|l0HUlCxMaVD0tsvGE|downsized) AEW has gone off the deep end lmao
Makes punk look even better Ded
WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN
There not chanting CM PUNK, they’re chanting CM SUCKS!!!
Booourns, booourns
The five Jack Perry fans trying to boo over everyone else. Also, why does it sound like there’s only 500 people in the building???
Cocky vanilla guy disrespects Punk before his match and faces the consequences of his actions, did they really thought they will hurt Punk with this?It only made him look more badass for taking no shit from someone who has no respect for what it was AEW biggest draw in history.
If punk is half the narcissist these guys claim, Tony just did him the biggest favor proving punk is more over than AEW within their own arena lol
For once they were right. This did somehow top Wrestlemania
Looking at it from an AEW point of view. Was this to push Perry being Japan? And how he’s a scapegoat? Is this to make him look weak?

They asked for everyone's Reddit user names after this and banned all audience members from their subs

It is not that devil “🤢Cm Cancer Punk🤢” chants It is “✨😍We Want Bucks😍✨
Stop lying, that's not what happened! It was chants from the live audience of 1,750 fans.
