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

    Honestly, it’s dulled the lustre of FTR by association. Their match at All In felt kind of irritating, and not because of the bucks this time.

    I don’t even care if Perry started it, Punk threw the first punch and always seems to.

      Excuse the pun, but given the many lessons of other friendships that have been permanently burnt in the past its kinda surprising they’ve gone All In on being pals with him.

      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 was open to Punk when he came back. I know all his WWE problems but he also had a rough deal so when he arrived in AEW I figured ya know what? Fuck it, clean slate, he’s back, he seems willing to do the work, let’s give it a go.

    The second that scrum happened I no longer gave a shit about seeing CM Punk, and every tid-bit that comes out since then of him getting into someone elses face over this and that just add’s another nail to the coffin.

      I’ve made my feelings clear, but I don’t think I ever really explained why I’m anti-Punk.

      It’s not because of his political or social views, I’m pro-choice, support trans rights, and am a proud member of a labor union.

      It’s got nothing to do with anything that happened behind closed doors, we’ll likely never really know how “Brawl Out” went down.

      I’m anti-Punk 100% because of the “gripebomb” at the All Out media scrum. If I had done what Punk did, publicly insult the leadership of the company signing my paychecks, on a stage for all the world to see, I’d have been fired before even getting up out of that damn chair and tossed out with my mouth still full of muffin. But, Punk? That asshole basically got his own show. Proving that we live in different worlds. CM Punk is not my voice, he’s a celebrity diva that needs to check his privilege.

      If you’d like to hear a similar story, ask me how I feel about Will Smith.
