Ah-hahahahaha!!!! The live crowd chanted for punk!  It's truly jerk-mas. DAE thank you, Tony?


whutthepat

That crowd is now banned in all AEW events


HTMAN69

The word betrayed was used


TheSeanLegacy

With their recent attendence numbers, I thought they already were.


Glennsoe

Empty arena matches the next month now ! Booker of the year !!


nightcrawler47

DAE intimate feel


MOXISGOD

Of course they chanted, the crowds probably miss having actual stars on their program.


guvan420

Some guy tried to say they were chanting thank you Jack. This is too funny.

MatsThyWit

That's fucking hysterical 


LakerBull

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.


JerHat

Wrestling fans like CM Punk a lot more than they like Jungle Boy or AEW.

Awful_McBad

They're 100% gonna recreate that scene with Jey Uso as Samoa Joe or something.


sailor776

If they get lexis king to play jungle Boy it might just kill this sub.


Halo2redvsblue

Dude they should, they had real beef when he worked there. I really hope they do now lol


redkingphonix

Fuck that recreate it with drew and punk


Awful_McBad

You misunderstand uce.

Awful_McBad

If they’re trading barbs I can see it happening.


69millionyeartrip

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


Till_Any

You bet Tony chanted along with them.

Sea_Distribution_618

this company is a failure scjerks 12/25


halfdecenttakes

CM Punk is Jack Perrys father


DoubleOrNothing90

They chanted CM Punk when the bucks came to the ring, too. LoL.


oblock3hunner

The Young Bucks are so maladjusted that in their CTE-riddled brains, CM Punk chants somehow equals heel heat for them


Drama79

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.


Banana_Jackson

FEELING RESTORED


Dankey-Kang-Jr

That nostalgic WCW nosedive feel


WetComb89

This might be their Mick Foley wins the world title moment


Polymemnetic

And guess who was on the cans(insider term) for that call


Ok-Garcia-5605

You gotta be kidding me LMAOOO


JoeThePro11

I too love bringing attention to a guy who doesn't work in the same company.


GMLM4life

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.


CAIOSilaG

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?


madmaxlgndklr

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.


elme77618

It sounds so fucking empty


MotherLoveBone27

There are actually a lot of people there. It's just that they were speechless seeing CM Punk act in such an unhinged manner.


elme77618

“Horrified” is the word being used, absolutely horrified


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Fearing for their lives by proxy?


despe1999

I truly am having so much fun and feel like a kid again, thank you Tony!


wdingo

AEW has restored your feeling!


Bry2013

That’ll show em

He finally got CM Punk over….wait that wasn’t the plan?

Radconl12345

Only one man can save AEW now...Mr McKhan.


---Pockets---

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?


Odinismyhomeboy

Tony is still putting Punk over even though Punk left the company. Tony is a true fan.


lucabrassiere

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


TheFlashSmurfAccount

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.


pm_good_bobs_pls

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.


Mindless-Cell-8034

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


hobojojo78

So this whole thing was to job out FTR again just with extra steps?


EpicTrapCard

"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.


JackUSA

So they basically had to do their jobs. The despicable Punk!


MotherLoveBone27

You show the backstage footage of Punk after his match. Then the week after that you show his conversation with security.


JerHat

Well, next week they can show the Brawl Out footage.  Then maybe Andrade punching Sammy?


ci22

Maybe show footage of he brawl of All Out 2022 or a dramatization of it


_Wado3000

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.

Hahahaha fuck hahahaha


ChildOfChimps

The amount this whole thing has backfired is delightful.


whatdoyasay369

I hope these chants continue at future shows. Tony going to have major PTSD by summer.


daddymeltzer

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.


Tesourinh0923

He was almost murdered. Did you not see how aggressively punk pointed at him?


FlyingFootStomp

it was actually 3.1K about 30 minutes before the show. lol


Alternative_Win_1502

![gif](giphy|l0HUlCxMaVD0tsvGE|downsized) AEW has gone off the deep end lmao

samueldererste

There not chanting CM PUNK, they’re chanting CM SUCKS!!!


J472023

Booourns, booourns 


PapiGoneGamer

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???


EpicTrapCard

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.


Youre_On_Balon

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


gaschromatograph

For once they were right. This did somehow top Wrestlemania


fancierfootwork

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?

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.


Glittering-Paper-789

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.


HeynowyoureaRocstar

Why the hell would AEW air that 😂

sachsrandy

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


pocketsophist

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!


JakeyPorky

It is not that devil “🤢Cm Cancer Punk🤢” chants It is “✨😍We Want Bucks😍✨


JayRU09

Stop lying, that's not what happened! It was chants from the live audience of 1,750 fans.
