    Punk gets the brunt of it because...it's directly his fault? lol

    Well Punk did it twice and just because TK let it happen doesn’t absolve Punk. Most people are going to blame the guy who is getting in fights over the owner who enabled it. Both are wrong, but I also think Punks lack of personal accountability and constantly talking about it have rubbed people the wrong way. Besides firing Punk, TK has been pretty quiet about the whole thing mostly due to legal reasons.

    Everyone should just shut the fuck up and move on. No need to be bitter and beat a dead horse. Punk had been doing well rebranding his image before this interview, but I assume he doesn’t care because he knows WWE Stan’s will eat this shit up.

    Oh no doubt and I agree. I think my frustrations are mainly because I’m tired of hearing about it.

    And Punk will always be this way because people take the bait and talk about it. Is he annoying? Hell yeah he is

    Besides all of the drama with his fights, saying guaranteed money ruined the business is such a horseshit statement. Considering AEW only has 2 live events per week it’s not feasible to pay these guys on how much they draw. They aren’t doing the heavy WWE schedule to be able to make money on live shows. Guaranteed money allows wrestlers to perform without the stress of thinking about how much they draw constantly and TK has to offer something that’s different from WWE to entice wrestlers to join AEW over WWE. TK also llets a lot of these guys grind on the indies as well. The rights AEW wrestlers have is the best thing TK has done for the industry.

    Which is stunning from someone who so proudly loves to talk about how "for the boys and girls!" they are. It's almost like he's just a giant turd lol
     
  8. The guaranteed money comment was made and he still said that it’s good to have another place where the boys can get paid lmao


    Choose one brother

    As with virtually every Punk interview, he says some things that make him look like an ass sprinkled in with some things that sound very plausible and speak incredibly poorly about other people.

    The whole thing is a great watch, though.

    It's very easy to dunk on a lot of the shit that Punk says, but, having just finished up the interview now, he's still right about a lot when it comes to AEW.

    I wonder how many checks from his guaranteed contracts he’s cashed.

    again, I wish punk would just go start his whiny podcast like every other self-absorbed megalomaniac white dude in their 40s.
