>Phil tried to steal Adam Cole's main event spot at All In 2023 so he could get the title from MJF>MJF refused>Phil got pissy and went with his non-canon "real" word title storyline anywayGood for MJF for standing for his Brochacho and AEWFuck that manchild Phil
>>20899593Jesus Christ. Punk tried EVERYTHING to save AEW and all he got was sabotage and slander. No good deed goes unpunished I guess. At least he ended up in WWE where he gets the respect he's due.
>>20899593Punk is a fucking faggot crybaby, but this would have been dimes, sorry. The Better Than You Bay Bay, leading into The Devil stuff is what helped punch massive missile sized holes in AEW. Punk was being selfish, trying to muscle in on an All In mainevent, but Adam Cole and MJF was AWFUL.
>>20899593It is truly bizarre people will just make up these entire scenarios out of their imaginations just because Punk leaving broke them. A simple google search is all it takes to MJF actually talk about this. I bet somehow you will say im the wrong one too because you want Phil to look bad, you need Phil to look bad. Fucking psychos, i swear...
>>20899604>Jesus Christ. Punk tried EVERYTHING to save AEW and all he got was sabotage and slander. No good deed goes unpunished I guess. At least he ended up in WWE where he gets the respect he's due.
>>20899604Fpbp
>>20899604>"save AEW">by sabotaging the company's main storyline that sold over 72k tickets for their biggest show of the yearkek philcels are so deranged, just like their manchild idol
>>20899593Sounds like he was right considering AEW never recovered from MJF vs CHUGGS
>>20899593>>20899604>Nah man, I don’t actually want to work with a top 10 legend of the business that wants to put me over, I’ll work a program with Adam Cole insteadHangman bred and created this disrespectful culture
>>20899634Nigga read the thread. This shit never happened. God, why do i frustrate myself with your willfully ignorant retards.
>>20899623>but here’s a super political responseare you fucking retarded? MJF ignored this shit on camera completely, then him and Cole went on “Punk’s show” and blew his quarter out of the water. Amazingly, he never wrestled there again until Punk was gone
>>20899623>Mentions his work-shoot 'fucking mark' promo>"I almost got our company thrown off Turner">"The fact of the matter is...."You know he's working, right. I agree some AEW fans are mind broken by Punk, though.
>>20899644Punk not actually drawing the biggest numbers doesn't get talked about enough. Punk's return was this sacred happening people were pining for for years and it barely made an impact for AEW.
>>20899644>>20899649MJF would never miss the opportunity to call Punk an asshole. If he didn't mention it here, it never happened.
>>20899623It doesn't say there he was against it. He just didn't want to work with Phil until he ended his story with Adam Cole. That's it.
>>20899651If Punk didn't have an impact for AEW, than nothing has had an impact for AEW.
>>20899652Hey, do as thou wilt. I'm just telling you he's working in that interview. Up to you if you believe him or not.
>>20899663Ok? But there clearly was never an issue with him and Punk over this which is the argument OP is trying to make
>>20899659People forget MJF came out after Punk won the title from Moxley just before his scrum crashout. It was always a plan, but Punk is a mentally ill snake who sat at home talking shit on Instagram about ratings while MJF was champ only to get BTFO when he came back
>>20899662He had an impact. A negative one, that is.AEW was doing just fine until he was hired.
>>20899662They were drawing millies before he got there and millies when he was there. Him being a faggot killed the company as well as some others being divas to spite him.
>>20899681they always conveniently like to ignore thisjust like they ignore we always used to make fun of phil here, he only become a martyr when he went back to the weinstein fed and the e-bot defense force got a major patch telling them he was good
>>20899621Yeah, recognizing Adam Cole was a dimeless feud and wrestler in general isn’t being a crybaby, it’s smart business.
>>20899593Makes no sense, when Punk returned to WWE MJF had nothing but good things to say about Punk and said his rivalry with him was one of the best things he's done in the company.
>>20900324He moved on, just like everyone at AEW. Something Phil will never do.
>>20900324https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NdYWNd8zlbcSlice it
>>20899681And now that punk is in WWE they're not drawing millies anymore lmao.
>>20899766>Dimeless>Main evented the biggest pro wrestling show of all time in the Western world.
>>20900355And neither is Raw. Looks like Punk killed 2 companies.
>>20899593>could've had MJF vs Punk at Wembley>instead it was MJF vs ColeJesus MJF is dumbHis legacy would've benefit massively from going over Phil on that stage
>>20899593That MJF/Cole storyline ran out of steam real quick and ended up being a disaster with the devil shit and Cole's injury
>>20900562Cole and MJF were outdrawing Punk on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Punk also made sure to threw cold water on working with Max during his All Out crashout. Ignoring and no-selling his desperation was entirely correct.
>>20899593>2026>AEW fans still talking about Punk>AEW fans still blaming Punk>AEW fans still not blaming Tony for the company he does everything for except catering>AEW fans still thinking that everything that happened is a good thing despite their fandom dwindling faster than their sperm count
>>20899663>'OK. He might be working in that interview, but that means it's clearly a shoot'
>>20899593>Trannies acting like the biggest star in the wrestling business leaving AEW was a good thingthese niggas man lmao
>>20900355Collision never got a milly with him
>>20900555More delusional pig babbling.
>>20901523This. He's not a draw, even in WWE right now.
>>20901565>Punk was never a draw! Good thing we got rid of him!>In fact look at our ratings no-
>>Phil tried to steal Adam Cole's main event spot at All In 2023So he's tried to make the show good and was refused? Yeah I'd be frustrated too.
Who is this guy pretending to have insider knowledge? Is he the new Rovert?
>>20899634even if this shit story was true, 70k of those tickets were already sold by the time that shit main event was announced. In fact, I wish there was some tracking account like the Twitter shit nowadays to see how many people refunded their tickets as soon as that main event was announced.
>>20901755>In fact, I wish there was some tracking account like the Twitter shit nowadays to see how many people refunded their tickets as soon as that main event was announced.
>>20899593Based Punk, the Cole stuff was gay and cringe and was pretty much universally shat on as it was happening
>>20899593WrestleCringe is an insider now? Nobody would give info to a nameless twitter account. Either he's full of shit (most likely) or he does have inside info because he's somebody's burner.
>>20901878>was pretty much universally shat on as it was happeningPunk’s return quarter on the debut of Collision:>868,000 viewers Cole/MJF vs FTR on Collision:>837,000 viewers
Where is Adam Cole now? Any investment into him by AEW was obviously a mistake.
