I like how every speech that Tony Khan gives, he looks like he's a hostage delivering the demands of his kidnappers.
-
Punk getting injured in the summer during his first world title reign will always be one of the bigger what ifs in AEW I Believe.
-
Ooof this didn't age well since Punk's latest interview lol
-
As someone who was on the LA show that Punk broke his leg on, I'm just so weirded out I got to witness the biggest butterfly effect of the wrestling world. Regardless of how you think of wrestling this year, it has been a crazy crazy year lmao.
-
All the backstage drama that happened during Punk time in AEW pretty much shown wrestling hasn’t truly change from the ‘good old days’
-
30:40 uhhhh about that Brian…
-
You should post an updated version of this, since we’ve seen the horrific fight
-
My only issue is that you didn't name Meltzer. He has as much to do with the drama as anyone.
-
Out of all this, I really want AEW to thrive again. The last thing I want is for history to repeat itself and WWE to regain a virtual monopoly.
-
IMO, Z-Man, the "CM Punk in AEW" retrospecive is the best and most anticipated Wrestling WIth Wregret episode of 2023. It has drama, an honest intro, unique (arguably corny) humor and multiple sidebars.
-
April 11th 2024 UPDATE! Tony Khan didn't learn his lesson 🤡
-
I was trying to explain the whole CM Punk story to my mom who knows nothing about wrestling and it's way harder than you'd think. Me: There was a backstage fight involving a bunch of guys and a dog, and one of the guys got bit. Mom: He got bit by the dog? Me: No, he got bit by another man.
-
34:10 "Sin Cara would have been booked as a stud" has me rolling XD
-
I LOVE a video like this that doesn’t point the finger at one individual in a grand brouhaha that has more than enough blame to go around. While the wrestling Twittersphere has largely drawn hard lines in the sand, no individual came out of this looking squeaky clean. Just about everyone acted infantile, petty, weak-kneed, or all of the above.
-
Coming back to this video after the Punk interview and AEW airing the All In footage is quite fun
-
I really appreciate the strong, full-throated defense you made of Danielson. In all of this, he is the one person who has been maligned and who I would say was squeaky clean in his actions. Even if it was a stark minority of fans who ridiculed him, I appreciate you not standing for it.
-
Pretty much most of the issues he had before about WWE have changed under HHH. Wrestlers are getting time off to be with their families and moral seems to be higher than ever.
-
Wildest part of all the backstage drama is how everyone involved are adults, most of them in the late 30s or above, yet only made everything worse by refusing to act with maturity and professionalism
-
The first part rang so true to me. I liked Punk in AEW, but in the end the drama was killing it for me.
-
The best in depth video explaining CM Punk's time in AEW...and arguably the single biggest devastating punch to the gut AEW has suffered to date. This video is fantastic.
