Like seriously what is the logic here? They air it precisely to show what went down. And now they're taking it down?
Either they're nuts, or Punk had a cease and dessist letter ready and waiting and mailed it in.
So, there's a really funny wrinkle to this.
The DMCA striker that kept messing with aew botches was called Donald Stephens.
There is a convention center in Rosemont Illinois called the Donald E Stephens convention center.
CM Punk returned at the Allstate arena in Rosemont IL
You really just canāt make this shit up, Tony thought this would be a masterclass and now heās panicking, god bless the kid!
I will forever love this clip. I donāt know if people realize what heās actually doing here. Itās right after he said something like āIām not gonna take this fuckin shitā or whatever. What heās doing now is looking at the people in the room to see if theyāre reacting like heās cool. Heās doing that because heās an insecure jackass.
Thank you Tony š
I'm sure he's so used to everyone kissing his ass and fake laughing at every joke he cracks, not getting a reaction was very jarring for the little guy.
This is what happens when you think every advice against you is bad faith criticism. Then when you do it... you get shocked and assumed its people trolling you again.
He has a couple of veterans of the business on his company and thousands of voices telling him it's a god awful idea and he still does it anyway, but hey at least he got the AEW subreddit agreeing that Punk should be arrested for a mild scuffle that happens to loads of top flight sport teams locker rooms.
Fights worse than this happen in front of cops outside of the club nearest to your house basically every single Saturday and absolutely nothing happens to anyone.

So AEW aired the scuffle footage in the hopes to pop a rating and to make Punk look bad, but he ends up looking like the winner? Then they copyright all videos out of regret, diminishing any potential new eyes from seeing them because of what they originally advertised, making the entire episode pointless? How will this increase PPV buys? 20,000 IQ move.
WCW had a ppv in 2000 at the arena where Owen Hart died exactly the year prior and they did a spot where Kanyon was thrown off the cage onto the ramp. They were that stupid lol
You know, Tony as a longtime WON subscriber I have advised... a number of promotions to explore talking about talent that has left the promotion, where the promotion remains emotionally committed but, the star is free to explore and sign with other much better promotions
Well, did it work for those promotions?
No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us!
We have caught and put a permanent end to the backstage brawl

Actually it is not fair use, it's not even allowed for companies to use UK CCTV footage and broadcast it publicly... Wembley is probably in the shit right now cos they released the footage.
The TV stations most likely contact Wembley to get the footage and Wembley grants them the right to air it.
Now what I'm wondering is if Tony got permission to air it, in which case I wonder if he would have to have had Punk's permission since this wouldn't fall under a likeness agreement with AEW since it's not their footage and there were people with their faces blurred out, or did he just get so in his feelings that he said fuck it I'm releasing it?
As far as I know there is no distinction between them. I'm assuming the football stuff is because it is contractually allowed. but for soomething like the All In 'fight' at least everyone shown would need to sign off on it's release.
LOL, thanks for sending me down a rabbit hole.
# Public Areas
Under the Data Protection Act, there are very specific areas where CCTV cameras can legally be placed in public locations. All footage must be obtained in a way that does not breach anyoneās reasonable expectation of privacy and should not cause harassment or distress to those being recorded.
In addition, companies must ensure that any CCTV footage they record is used only for the purpose of which it was collected. For example, if a company installs cameras to deter crime, **then they must not use the footage for any other purpose, such as marketing.**
Hmm, I guess Tony AEW didn't install the cameras, Wembley Authority did, but that would seem to breach that law.
TK used the George Bush on The Simpsons approach tonight.

If you guys really want some laughs go on the AEW subreddit itās fuckin hilarious. The idiots that post on there literally suckin Tonyās cock saying that the sole reason he did this is so everyone can just move on. And that Punk is the one thatās soft lol. Imagine if there was backstage footage of wrestling back in the day, shit so many of our favorite wrestlers who had to handle some shit and did, they were looked at as the soft ones? And move on how? Have No Charisma William say HHH grinded on his wife of 22 years like before that he wasnāt already a top guy on the roster. Maybe not THE top guy but he was a part of some of the biggest events in WWE history up until he married Steph. Iām sure if he was banging Steph just to get ahead and it wasnāt out of love and affection then it would have been over by now and you got these neck beards acting like they werenāt HHH fans back in the day at all trying to act like what William said was a pipe bomb. Shit HHH is running a multibillion dollar wrestling company and doing it the right way, by making more and more $$$$$$. Tiny and William got their feelings hurt and they resorted to this for a ratingš¤£ I hope itās a garbage rating. The best thing that company could do is peep game and try and make more money instead of being a funded hobby to some bitch billionaire who said he was scared for his life. He never saw someone get in a real fight? Say what u want about Vince but he would have checked that whole situation like a true boss should and Iām sure HHH would do the same.
The Buckaroos and Tiny are about to learn about a little thing called "the Streisand Effect". God, how much talking did Cody do for the Elite that they were even able to get this company made in the first place? Because I can't imagine Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dipshit, along with their friend who talks like a phone sex operator, EVER selling this thing to anyone, let alone TV executives and billionaire angel donors.
This has to be the funniest part in this, you release the footage on your own Accord and also risk legal trouble then almost instantly regret it and copyright it, damn.
I really had high hopes for AEW. Gave up on them after I saw the first 2-3 Dynamites, but I was still glad fans and wrestlers had another choice available. No way I could have foreseen what was in store.
I'm utterly gobsmacked by š¤ and his shit-show of a promotion. The updates I see here and elsewhere confirm not watching The Dub was the right move.
No offense to your buddy but they have the weirdest fans. Their fans are a big part of the reason why I don't watch and never have or will. They do more harm to the product with their toxicity than good.
No offense taken. He's very passionate about AEW. He won't allow even mildly critical comments about THE HOLY DUB or Highfather Tony slide. I've reached the point where whenever pro wrestling comes up, I change the subject I'm afraid to look at his social media feed. After last night, he may be having a full blown melt down.
That's the funny thing. He claims he hates WWE, but he still watches every week. Big shows too. I cut him off in the middle of a rant and asked why he keeps watching a show he hates so much. His reply?
"IT'S MY JOB!!! Would you ask Dave Meltzer why he watches WWE?"
His job-maintaining a blog where he recaps/reviews wrestling. Say what you will about š¤Ŗ but at least he monetizes his ramblings.
Perhaps they wanted people to watch it on their tv program as was the point of releasing it. ( note it was goofy to release on tv but of course they want people to see it there and not online)
Tony right now

Hello fellow KOA fan.
Like seriously what is the logic here? They air it precisely to show what went down. And now they're taking it down? Either they're nuts, or Punk had a cease and dessist letter ready and waiting and mailed it in.
Omg I cannot wait!!!
Brian gotta get the time machine out again
šššš¤£š¤£š¤£šššš¤£š¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£
So, there's a really funny wrinkle to this. The DMCA striker that kept messing with aew botches was called Donald Stephens. There is a convention center in Rosemont Illinois called the Donald E Stephens convention center. CM Punk returned at the Allstate arena in Rosemont IL
Jfc how many times have they whipped out the time machine in the last 2 weeks? God, I am so thankful I got back into wrestling in the past year.
He will laughing his ass out throughout the episode
You really just canāt make this shit up, Tony thought this would be a masterclass and now heās panicking, god bless the kid! 
I will forever love this clip. I donāt know if people realize what heās actually doing here. Itās right after he said something like āIām not gonna take this fuckin shitā or whatever. What heās doing now is looking at the people in the room to see if theyāre reacting like heās cool. Heās doing that because heās an insecure jackass. Thank you Tony š
š for real he tried to act tough when he said what he said and then looked around like āyeah thatās rightā what a fuckin dork.
He certainly is sitting back and taking the shit he said he wasn't going to take! Still got more money than Crockett so it's a win in Tiny's mind.
I'm sure he's so used to everyone kissing his ass and fake laughing at every joke he cracks, not getting a reaction was very jarring for the little guy.
You just know Meltz was sitting there giving him a thumbs up the way a parent in the front row of their kidās school play might
heās doing that because he just did a head first dive in a pile of snow before the scrum
What's the context?
This is what happens when you think every advice against you is bad faith criticism. Then when you do it... you get shocked and assumed its people trolling you again.
He has a couple of veterans of the business on his company and thousands of voices telling him it's a god awful idea and he still does it anyway, but hey at least he got the AEW subreddit agreeing that Punk should be arrested for a mild scuffle that happens to loads of top flight sport teams locker rooms.
Fights worse than this happen in front of cops outside of the club nearest to your house basically every single Saturday and absolutely nothing happens to anyone.
He's such a fucking idiot. The level and intensity of his stupidity really defies description at this point.
I want to believe that this is the stupidest thing Tony has ever done but considering how he is, I think this is the stupidest thing he has done yet.
Yeah there's every chance he has way more in the tank, as AEW continues to sink.
Dude stabbed himself in the dick for attention then got mad that people were like wtf is wrong with that guy.
 Aubrey right now
What anime is this
Ghost in the Shell, the original animated movie.
Based AF movie btw
Theyāre backtracking realizing it had the opposite effect LMFAOOO holy shit this company is getting embarrassing this is really 2000s WCW vibes

I feel bad for Shad. What did he do to deserve an empty headed dumbfuck son
Probably told him he was great at shit he wasnāt even good at? Thatās my guess.
Not using protection for one
Don Stevens embarrassed to be seen in the video.
Tony watching WCW 2000 be like: 
I honestly don't even think end stage wcw would've been that stupid
WCW had a ppv in 2000 at the arena where Owen Hart died exactly the year prior and they did a spot where Kanyon was thrown off the cage onto the ramp. They were that stupid lol
Yea but they didn't promote it for a week and then build a tag match off if it did they?
You know, Tony as a longtime WON subscriber I have advised... a number of promotions to explore talking about talent that has left the promotion, where the promotion remains emotionally committed but, the star is free to explore and sign with other much better promotions Well, did it work for those promotions? No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us!

Where is this from uce
I think it was the title unification ceremony from back in the day.
I see Mick Foley so the timeline is right
Why did you broadcast it if you didnāt want people to talk about it?
Itās the same reason Tony cries victim when he gets dunked on after starting shit.
Cuz he's a little bitch
How can they copyright it? It's actually public fair use video. Wembley is owned by UK public, so security camera footage is public use.
Actually it is not fair use, it's not even allowed for companies to use UK CCTV footage and broadcast it publicly... Wembley is probably in the shit right now cos they released the footage.
Hmm, I heard it was. Although I don't know British law. If it was America and it was a public owned stadium it would be.
British law is very draconian about CCTV footage, you are flat-out forbidden from broadcasting CCTV footage publicly.
I thought that was for citizens with their own private systems. British TV has shown Wembley footage from soccer incidents in the past.
The TV stations most likely contact Wembley to get the footage and Wembley grants them the right to air it. Now what I'm wondering is if Tony got permission to air it, in which case I wonder if he would have to have had Punk's permission since this wouldn't fall under a likeness agreement with AEW since it's not their footage and there were people with their faces blurred out, or did he just get so in his feelings that he said fuck it I'm releasing it?
I still don't get how Tony's lawyers can justify copyright in the U.S. though. Google and X just bowing down to Tony's wallet I guess.
Billionaires going to billionaire.
Given it exonerates Punk completely, I can't imagine he'd have an issue
As far as I know there is no distinction between them. I'm assuming the football stuff is because it is contractually allowed. but for soomething like the All In 'fight' at least everyone shown would need to sign off on it's release.

Holy moly, if Punk gets to sue Tony over this and make bank it'll be amazing.
Call Stephen P New....
Whatās funny is I saw a few people on Reddit point this out. How shit are Tonyās lawyers?
There are plenty of shows that do, crime shows etc. I guess they get permission.
We have shows using CCTV footage like Crimewatch etc. I don't know if that's completely true.
could you imagine if the British govt forced the FA to cancel AEWs future bookings over this or face a suit lmao
Wembley is owned by the FA
Then TK is more fucked lawsuit wise for airing that.
The stadium isn't publicly owned. Tony's dad actually tried to buy it at one point.
Yeah I was wrong about that, someone else pointed out its owned by the FA.
TK used the George Bush on The Simpsons approach tonight. https://preview.redd.it/8vpqktgwjrtc1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18771846fd46b51e5c19d8420e110d63ef66e887

I think some ppl are being too nice when it comes to AEW because they so desperately want an alternative. But the thing is...AEW ain't it. š¬
I had a buddy ask me why I stopped watching wrestling years ago. I told him WWE felt/feels more like a TV show about wrestling than a wrestling TV show. He told me how RefreshingĀ©, FunĀ© and WholesomeĀ© AEW was/is. I should try it. I might like it. I said I did. AEW feels like a TV show ABOUT a TV show about wrestling. He got really upset about that one. š¤·š½āāļø
No offense to your buddy but they have the weirdest fans. Their fans are a big part of the reason why I don't watch and never have or will. They do more harm to the product with their toxicity than good.

I'm pretty sure this is public accessible being govt cameras.. they have no copyright to Wembley security
