Had he stayed, Punk would have driven out so much talent and Tony Khan would never be trusted as someone who can put his personal feelings for the benefit of his employees.
Yeah, same. And it’s so fucking dumb that anyone would care that Perry started it. He started an argument. An argument is not an invitation to start a fight. If you’re so much of a baby that you can’t stop yourself from hitting people who say things that hurt your feelings, you don’t need to be calling yourself a locker room leader or working in a job that requires so much trust in other people helping keep you safe
I really wish I could not let it hurt my enjoyment of the product but I just have no desire to watch when that guy is such a big part of the show. I was actually looking at the card for All In to see what matches were happening because I wanted to try to get back into it. But then I saw that CM Punk had a match and also there was some storyline of him pretending to be champion. So that tells me that they were eventually going to have him in the title picture again. So I lost interest. Why get invested in a story if you know they are going to make it worse later? It may indeed be a shoot turned into a work, but I don’t have any desire to see CM Punk be beat in a match. I just don’t want to see him at all.
I have not enjoyed wrestling since he’s been back. All In was the first PPV I didn’t but since AEW started because I am just so unexcited for the show knowing there’s such toxins shit going on. I know I might be in the minority here because people seem to like CM Punk for whatever reason, but he makes omen of my favorite things so much less enjoyable. I only watch stuff when I hear that a specific match was really good now
