Will we ever get a more perfectly kino moment in wrestling than this again?
why did he have a plastic bag full of seltzer water?
>>19897337I like how on the original stream his mic is fucked up so it gives him a scary demon voice through the whole thing.
>>19897337this genuinely felt like the start of a new era in wrestling and then tony fumbled it
>>19897337This conference brought more eyes to their product than Wembley
>>19897354Yup. This will always be the point in AEW where you can look back and see the mask slip. All the big bad words they said about WWE and how it's run and everything else all just to expose themselves as one and the same. The politics, the pettiness, the mismanagement, the unprofessionalism. Every ugly ass cheek that could be exposed bent over with its pants down. AEW's, and especially not Tony's, reputation never recovered and I don't think it ever fully will
>>19897500I have a hard time telling if this is edited or real.
>>19897500You can see him panicking and the internal struggle on whether to say anything and put a stop to it. Which he 100% should have and only even more so when you ultimately consider them firing Punk. He just didn't have the balls. He sat there completely impotent while a guy who works for him flagrantly tore down and shit on the facade AEW had convinced people of
>>19897538It's real https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBAvjOYD6hs
>>19897337im still baffled by punks aew run. dude just seemed like an evil motherfucker at that time
>>19897500Needs the Twin Peaks music.
>>19897560What's there to be baffled over? Hangman and the Bucks fucked him over and refused to take any of the accountability. Hangman himself cut the legs out from AEW's rise when he went on air and shot on Punk like an unprofessional dipshit for things that ultimately ended up being completely baseless. The Bucks backed him up and they set out to make him look like a bad guy to the fans through dirtsheets by stirring up all the Cabana bullshit. Meanwhile Punk's been gone for how many years now and how many matches on tv has Cabana had? All the while Punk spelled it out. The people running the place have no fucking clue what they're doing
>>19897597Hangman barely said anything bad, he said punk didnt care about workers rights. wwe have scripted drew to say 10x worse shit about punk and he didn't care at all. dude was on his period for that entire aew run
>>19897597Seek help.
>>19897337Probably not, the funny thing is AEW did a lot of worked shoot stuff before this but it seems like Tony is too scared to do them now aside from an occasional snide MJF remark.
>>19897337There's still some AEW tranny out there that thinks the reports were all lies and genuinely believes Punk got beaten up by the Bucks.
>>19897337Watching Punketty meltdown like a faggot bitch and Tony look like he wants to crawl into a hole and die is the only entertaining thing AEW has ever done.
>>19897547Jesus christ, Tony is actually in the spectrum isn't he?, I thought he was just an awkward guy with stage fright but this is something bigger than that.
>>19897500>want to put him back in the toy box, but i can't
>>19897597punk is the guy who punched out an innocent fan near him, he's ruled by his emotions, it didn't matter who made up the rumors, he connected the dots even if it's untrue
this is where "you tell me" came from right? also yeah tony is fucking retarded for not making an angle out of this, genuinely the biggest fumble of the modern era
>>19898939He couldn't make an angle out of it if he tried. Both sides hated each other and even when cooled off the Bucks wanted Punk to play ball for six months. Both sides were immature divas, I don't know whether the Bucks were worse or not but they just played the same shit Punk did beforehand.
>>19897337You're welcome.
>>19897354>>19897528>it's Tony's fault that Phil is a narcissistic sociopathShut the fuck up, retard.
>>19897560His feud with MJF was one of the best stories I've ever seen in wrestling.>MJF tries to introduce himself to Punk>Punk snubs him>MJF cuts a promo in the ring, tells a long sob story about the antisemitism he experienced in his youth>Punk comes out>asks him "Is that true?">MJF tearfully says "Yes.">Punk apologizes and hugs him>MJF immediately kicks him in the balls, and tells him that he's the devil and should never be trustedI don't care who you are, that's kino.
>>19899273>Nooooooo Tony shouldn't have to actually have any balls and act like the boss! It's actually a good thing that his own wrestlers don't respect him!!
>>19899288>he thinks Phil respects Paul
>>19899273>It wasn't Tony's fault that Phil was a big fat meanie head!Tony was his boss
>>19899356And he ended up getting fired, with cause.
>>19899375Yet you still seethe about Punk daily 2.5 years later baka
Tony is paying a lot of people fuck you money, and has only ever rewarded the buck's bad behavior. It's bound to happen again.
>>19897348it was a rib. for the boys in the back
>>19899398>raped by the filterI don't seethe about Phil at all. I don't give a shit. He's a faggot, but he's not my problem anymore. Enjoy your friendship bracelet storylines or whatever other gay shit he's doing. I don't care.
>>19897337the only time Phil was actually based
>>19899294>His PDS has him still waiting for CM Punk's big outburst to come. He's already been back in WWE longer than his entire AEW run lasted but I'm sure it's totally coming. Any day now. It's gonna happen!
>>19899460>projection totally unrelated to anything that was saidyou're making up people to argue with, again
>>19897547The only kino this shitty fucking company ever produced. Hope it was worth it to Hangma'am.
>>19899419He wasn't your problem to begin with, you fat fuck. You don't work for AEW. You can't even walk.
>>19899294>le heckin PhilCalling him by his real name isn't the own you think it is, dipshit. He's not Rumpelstiltskin.
>>19899399>and has only ever rewarded the buck's bad behaviorYou're ignoring Jungle Bitch's "Fuck You" push that went over so badly he had to keep him off TV for nearly a year and pretend his heel turn never happened.
>>19897560I don’t have a horse in this race. I’m just answering your question. I think Punk just really didn’t want to wrestle in general. He was pissed off having to come back to work. He assumed he never would have to, he’s on the record as saying he never wanted to come back. He just didn’t have any money left and Covid caused massive uncertainty for a guy with no income. When he got there he realized he really didn’t like at least 75 percent of the boys. Notice he kept getting “injured”. I think he would have been more than happy not wrestling and getting paid that salary to run collision. But for that money Tony wants him to work and do more than come out to get pops in Chicago. Listen to his wording after the last fight. He says>Fucking fire me then. Just give me my money and I’ll go home. I’m not knocking the guy, he’s getting old and he underestimated how much it costs to live. Notice he is being a good boy now, sucking off the Saudi’s and pimping his wife out for one last run trying to stack that last big payday.
>>19899615>>19899619>Chezfags squealin'He sucked in his prime and now he's sawdusted. Deal with it homos.
>>19897337Literally the only thing Tony had to do was tell Punk, Hangtranny, The Cucks, and Omega to all work an angle together and no they don't have a fucking choice. It would've been the best wrestling storyline in over a decade. Dimes would've rained down from the ceiling. But that stupid dickless retard did what he always does and failed to capitalize.
Oh good another Tony seethe thread we needed that
>>19899751I thought that’s what it was. I argued on this very board that was what it was. I underestimated how monumentally stupid everyone involved was. >>19897636Tomy had just done a piece in Forbes where he said the future of the business is worked shoots and blurring the lines between real and fake with every available tool. ie YouTube, news outlets and social media and you would think stuff like the scrum. The timing was so on point I was convinced this was just part of the plan he laid out.
>>19897337CM Punk wonFans don't care about Adam anymore after that selfie with the pedo
>>19897500genuinely felt bad for Tone here. Phil was having a BPD meltdown. He should've just shut it down and told Punk to skip questions. The part that pops me the most is Phil starting by telling the reporter "you should tell people who you're friends with" in regards to Colt Cabana, but then immediately goes on a rant saying "it's none of your business who I'm friends with, I'm a grown man".another funny moment is Phil obnoxiously slouched, eating cupcakes and licking his fingers through out the whole thing, exactly for when a female talks and he immediately sits up, stops eating, smiles and plays with his hair. Clear sex pest.
>>19899751Punk and Omega were reportedly on board with this. It was the Cucks and Hang'mam who stopped everything dead because they hurt the Jew's feelings
>>19899785You are gay.
>>19900402rare w for trootfag. things are grim if he’s dunking on you
>>19897337>dad, you know when wrestling fans say kek what a massive fumble? what do they mean by that?>cm punk in AEW, son
>>19899273Wrestlers back in the day were shoot violent and psycho, and every booker in the world managed them. Tony not being able to make free money from this was a massive display of incompetence.
>>19897612>he said punk didnt care about workers rightsWhat is that even supposed to mean? That's the type of thing someone who can't think would say.
>>19897612Hangma'am went off script, forcing Punk to make the choice of either going off-script himself or looking like an idiot. It was unprofessional and Punk probably would have been OK with it had he just asked first. To be fair Punk kinda deserved it for doing the same thing to Nash.
>>19899785they had nothing but seethe for this one
>>19899237>He couldn't make an angle out of it if he tried.Doesn't sound like a very good wrestling boss to me.Didn't even have to have them fight if you're so pathetic that you can't work it out, just turn it into any kind of angle. I gave them a chance with the next Dynamite and when this spastic fuck started the episode with "I took all the titles away from the champions and we're never going to explain why, look it up from twitter lol" I stopped giving them chances. Vince couldn't have Bret fight Shawn after Montreal but it didn't stop him from turning it into an angle.
>>19899850>Punk and Omega were reportedly on board with this.Then do it with them, who the fuck cares about the Bucks in the first place. How fucking incompetent do you have to be to not do it with them immediately if they're ready to do it?
Does anyone care about AEW at all?
>>19901430Not as much since I stopped listening to the talking heads on YouTube. At this point are can't turn around and gain any new audience so they will continue to placate the core fans they have and change nothing but a few roster spots here and there.
>>19899237>even when cooled off the Bucks wanted Punk to play ball for six monthsThat was bullshit and only “reported” after Punk had already been fired for trying to cover their ass for not capitalizing at all on the heat from brawl out. Punk had said he was open to working with those guys, and Kenny was apparently open to it as well but the bucks weren’t. So when the chance to turn this into an angle disappeared forever, the bucks scrambled by saying they were totally open to working with punk after an arbitrary number of months had passed.
>>19897337if it was pepsi instead of lime seltzer he would've been more calm
>>19899469>you're making up people to argue with, again>you're making up people>againWho am I?
>>19901430I used toI watched it in 2020-21 but then I started noticing how everything had to be ironic and tongue in cheek. Stopped watching and haven’t watched since.
>>19897337>>19897348you tell me
>>19897348Because it's very low cal and this was after a long match
>>19902411>Tony when he sees a dog he hasn't fucked
>>19902592>TDSlose weight
>>19902595Huh what u mean
>>19901449not a bad talking point. Is there anything they can do to become relevant again? I think not, they had a chance because Vince was senile and while HHH is making drones angry, I don't think things will get that out of hand.>A good signing?There are 2, 3 guys that can make a change. Brock isn't one of them since he is an enhancer, but can't be built around. And I don't want to hear about Becky, Seth or AJ Styles (BBAJ is based but won't change the game).>Cenayes, he is retired, but he was the only draw wrestling has produced in the last 20 years.>Roman ReignsFunny, this guy could possibly turn some heads around, but he is too much of a bootlicker like Cena seems to be. And he is on his way out, a Cena run is even more possible. So all in all, yes, Punk was their only chance at success and they fumbled. Except...>Vincent Kennedy McMahonHe would be a massive draw, the biggest character in the history of wrestling coming back, the creator trying to kill his creation... would definitely change the game and generate millions of dimes. But Tony is a massive pussy and would never hire him. "what would the woke sickos say?"
>>19897538
>>19902601Why do you keep postsing this sick shit bitchtits?Why do you openly fantasize about TK r*aping children so often? pic related is another time you did thisyou sick peadophile freak
>>19902601Is that why we haven't seen Big Justice in a while?
>>19902993He also posted some twisted shit in the James Romero free AEW tickets thread.He's clearly seething when he starts to spam his repugnant fantasies.
>>19903048is he spamming his hogwheels childrape fantasy again ?
>>19897560It all makes sense once you break it down. Punk wanted to get back into wrestling for a while, but specifically back to WWE. That's why he did that WWE backstage show. He saw it as a sort of back door way to get back to WWE. But at that time Vince was still very much in charge and just wasn't interested in Punk. So AEW reached out to him eventually, and offered him bags of money, so to him it was likely a case of "Why not?". But he saw WWE as the big time. And it's probably why he was always abrasive in AEW. To him it's a rinky dink show ran by people that don't know what they are doing. So then he causes all that trouble and gets released, and goes on to return to WWE, conveniently after Vince is no longer the guy calling the shots (wouldn't be surprised is Punk did this on purpose once he realised his main barrier to returning to WWE couldn't block the move anymore).
>>19897500>loses to the wrestling school AGAIN in you're path
