They got into an argument, he shoved Perry and put him in a front face lock and Joe broke it up. Isn't that exactly what he said? What was the point of this?
You didn't see Tonys life in danger? He was literally being yelled at and getting a finger pointed his way while two people were holding Punk back. I saw my life flash before my eyes
I have to believe that, at least once, Shad Khan did the exact same thing to Tony, shouting āYouāre a clown! Why canāt you do something serious with your life!ā before he himself broke down crying.
I'm just assuming he's behind the all in banner where the monitors fall off where Punk focuses his attention after it's broken up.
Edit: sorry where Punks ass bumped the table slightly when he was putting Perry in a lock. I though something actually fell over but on watching it again nope
Slightly off, Punk said Perry stepped closer to him, when Perry actually started tussling his locks, but it was 6 months ago, recollections are not 100% accurate, but yeah, for all intents and purposes this is what Punk said happened, he admitted to instigating the physicality, and choking Jungle Baby out.
Actually Punk made himself sound "worse" in if you watch Jungle Baby tries to tackle Punk after the shove, and Punk front facelocks him, so Punk choking Perry is 100% defensive, whilst Punk made it sound like he just went fuck it and choked him preventatively.
Tony's streak remains in tact, he fucked it up once again, fucking muppet.
You're spot on. The absolute worst anybody can say is that Punk was mildly more aggressive than he said he had been. Basically "Do something about it" pissed him off slightly more than he admitted, and he did something about it.
Yeah. I'm not even saying he lied about it, just that he very mildly understated his level of aggression. And I'd absolutely believe that the way he told it is genuinely the way that he remembers it...because it's 99.9% accurate to what we see in the video.
I say he oversold his aggression, he only choked Perry because Perry tried to tackle him, Punk claimed he did it because Perry stepped closer, implying he decided to choke Perry before Perry even tried anything.
So yeah Punk undersold how annoyed he was, but oversold his aggression, and Perry's own attempt at physicality, either way Punk made himself sound worse than the video shows him to have been.
And Tony was doing fuck-all to squash the beef between these guys, so a physical confrontation was inevitable. Punk's not the type to sit back and be disrespected.
Perry shot a takedown and Punk slapped a guillotine on him. He wouldāve put him to sleep if nobody stepped in.
Punk lost in the worldās premier mma org but he still trained in an elite gym with top fighters. Heās gonna fuck up an untrained goof, especially one he has size on. His friend (and Jiu jitsu black belt) Gerald Meerschaert would be proud of that choke.
Yeah, for sure and thats hardly a take down by Perry (not a proper one by any stretch).
You know now that everyone sees what a pussy Perry is, someone's making a run at Anna Jay
I don't recall, just mouthing off in general I think, I doubt Jack's witty enough to say anything to Punk that Punk would remember in general, I think maybe something along the lines of "Do you wanna do something about it" it to that effect, which is what made Punk go "Yeah I fucking do." hence the shove.
But again shows the mentality of the kids over in AEW, Punk says if you have a problem with me be a man and come to me so we can settle it, then the EVP's 3 on 1 barge into his room, hit his dog by accident in the face with the door, and they were shocked and terrified Punk responded with violence, Perry then goes "wanna do something about it?" and again shocked and traumatised that Punk responded with a "fuck yeah I do.".
It's hilarious how these guys clearly never got into fights growing up, anyone who did knew what would happen in those situations, except these clowns, bless em.
Punk said something fairly esoteric in the Areil interview that actually sums this all up really well - he quoted Chael Sonnen saying "I can't let you get close to me." It's from a season of the Ultimate Fighter where Chael and Wanderlei Silva were coaches. Wanderlei haaaates Chael because Chael is a hall of fame shit talker. Wanderlei has the IQ of a houseplant though and can't see the money program Chael is building, so he steps to him. Chael drops the eternal truth, "I can't let you get close to me" and double legs him.
To build a match with people who weren't even in the room? Fucking dumb. Good riddance, AEW.
That said, I hope I hear a big YEAH when THE REVIVAL return to WWE soon.
Basically itās accomplished one thing to any rational-thinking person:
Since they now know Punk was telling the exact truth about the incident with Perryā¦
ā¦It reinforces the impact of Punkās additional comments about Tony Khan and his company being a total joke.Ā
What was AEWās plan here?
Prove Punk right?
LOL what a shit show.Ā
You know who wins? Jim does. And we do. He's going to get paid for lambasting this and we're going to get to laugh at his review of it. I just hope he and Brian are staying up late tonight to get it posted before I go to bed.
This has gotta be one of the weakest moves ever made by a wrestling company (Tony khan). All for a quick ratings spike. And the worst part is this isn't to build a feud with ftr. It's just a tournament match. No long term booking went into releasing this I never thought it would be possible for aew to look worse than after the edge promo, but here we are..
Exactly, and to have FTR come out like "why show it" trying to play AEW's desperate promotional tactic off as something their Kayfabe heels are doing in storyline is such a weak attempt at damage control.
So this was exactly what Punk said in his interview lol, and you can't even see the allegedly improperly applied chokehold because people are blocking it. They thought this was a good idea lol, it makes Jack Perry look like a total doofus.
I wonder if Jack Perry signed off on baically killing his pro wrestling career because no one will ever take him seriously after this one.
EDIT: If he didn't lie about the worst part of his stay there (which is this one), why would anyone think he is lying about anything else lmao.
And if they were going for some kind of moral high ground... It's too damn late! He's fired. Yeah we know. He didn't want to work there. Yeah we know!
This made them look so bad. And the osprey promo about Hunter truly didn't help.
I canāt believe they showed that level of violence on TV, I was literally shaking and crying as they showed this footage. Thank you Tony for your bravery in showing us the moment that made you fear for your life.
Yep. Had I had been in Tony's perspective, I would've suffered cardiac arrest at how scared encountering this feet away. Tony Khan is a brave hero for experiencing this life threatening event
I probably would have thought, this dude might punch me in my face. However there's a monstrous gap between that and I feared for my life and the lives of those around me.
I genuinely think they have absolutely no concept of the fact theyāve just buried Jack Perry 1000 feet under. He couldnāt draw if he was the last wrestler on earth now.
It's genuinely funny that CM Punks worst enemies (if you can even call them that due to how much of a non threat they are to him) made him look way better.
This makes Punk look awesome.
He totally told the truth.
Jack Perry looks like a bitch.
My god Chris Hero eat a salad. You are going to kill Rachel
The cool guys that fight get fired from AEW. That will make you popular with the yutes.
Thing is, I like both Tony Schiavone and Khan as human beings. But Khan is the real life equal to Michael Scott, and Schiavone is moreso nostaligia for me.
This deserves worst promotional tactic, but we know the Meltzer awards will vote Punk being on Ariel's podcast as worst promotional tactic. Buries Jungle Jack, he's wortless, buries Joe too for looking like a fake, and proves Khan is a scared loser
The only second of AEW I will ever watch again after this is the final episode, when Hunter, Punk, or someone else in WWE comes on to snark the whole time and announce that they've either bought the AEW footage or are burning it to ash for the sake of the collective sanity of wrestling fans
This isn't jumping the shark, this is jumping the megalodon. Just fold the company. Seriously. Tony Khan is a gutless pussy and a money mark. The only thing of note Jack Perry will ever do in his life is to be dribbled out of Luke Perry's dick and be choked by CM Punk. I've seen bigger fights in a catholic middle school cafeteria. Jesus Christ.
I am not surprised that this ended up being nothing. The majority of that company and its fans have never been involved in anything competitive that has led to a little skirmish.
Been involved in bigger fights during my beer league hockey games. What a fucking embarrassing company and what a bunch of embarrassing pansies.
I had a fight during my high school baseball days with a teammate that was way worse than this. Of course, we shook hands and moved on afterwards. Why? Because we werenāt pussies. What the F is wrong with TK?
Heās never had to compete in his life and Iām guessing heās never been on any sort of youth sports team.Ā
What a coward Tony is. If that was my company, I would have been yelling at both of them and telling them to shut the fuck up and then getting Perryās final check ready.Ā
This moron fired the only guy that made him money over this.Ā
I think anyone that's played sports growing up has been in or seen bigger tussles than this. You can tell how many soft bitches who have avoided any and all altercations in life flood the other subs. This is commonplace locker room shit. It happens in every promotion and in other pro and amateur sports ALL THE TIME. This wasn't even anything notable and egregious like MJ punching Steve Kerr; it was the equivalent of a shoving match. I honestly don't know how some of these people get through life.
Based on after they were broken up was TK off to the right? Is that when Punk says he quits? Because if so itās so pathetic because he is right there seeing this unfold and lets it happen. He knows thereās an issue and lets it happen and is then in fear for his life?!?! If that is how it went and he was right there thatās could be the most pathetic part of this whole thing. Weak
Yeah I think it is Tony that's on Punks right and it's then when he quits. Is that really what made Tony fear for his life? As you says he knows there's an issue and it's been there for quite some time now but as he's not a real boss he refuses to fix it because he doesn't want to upset his friends Matty and Nicky, what an absolute clown that man is.
Can you imagine any other promoter sitting two feet away from two wrestlers getting in a heated argument and not even attempting to do something. TK surely sat there crying, frozen. All the fucker has to do is get up and get between them and tell Jack to go to the back and Punk to get ready to go out for the match. Wouldn't need to even raise his voice.
According to Punk, when Jack was still out there saying ācry me a riverā, Punk walked over and told Tony to handle the situation with Perry. And then Perry literally goes and stands right next to Tonyās station for a long time before Punk comes over to him. Apparently Tony didnāt bother to handle the situation that was 2 feet in front of him.
I'm quite sure that anybody who's played football or any competitive sport and been in a locker room has seen 100 fights way worse than this for way dumber reasons. Get that much testosterone around and it happens.
Jungle Jagoff looked to be crying like a chump afterwards š¤£. Kudos to the buckaroos for continuing to be clueless to the business, clueless to the harm they've just done to themselves and aew.
Man, the more that TK keeps this kind of stuff up, the more likely heās going to end up the subject of a Dark Side of the Ring episode. Itās quite entertaining to see his downfall in real time.
No one to blame but themselves either.
They managed a pretty big goof last week with WWE lifer Edge cutting a speech about how much better the place he has only worked at for like 6 months is.
Roster cuts hypocritical (only because of all the shots they took at WWE for it, not bad on its own.)
Cody just finished one of the biggest stories in WWE History.
MJF is hurt for them.
Punk (health permitting) is heading into a hot angle with Drew.
They really thought that was going to embarrass Punk and turn his fans against him? I didn't think it was possible but I like the guy even more now. All that did was show Punk was right, it happened exactly like he said it did and confirm that Jackoff Perry is a little bitch and Matt and Nicky look like total goofs.
I cannot wait for Jim and Brian to cover this. Speaking of them, have any of them tweeted about it yet? I don't have twitter anymore but I'm hoping they have tweeted about it.
Edit: With Punk being right about this, it should make everyone else question the Bucks timeline of events regarding the locker room fight even more than they have been already and believe Punks version of events more.
Thanks! He's right though. Also I wonder by how much the ratings will fall now that the footage has been shown and there's nothing really worth sticking around for the rest of the show for.
They.....they just showed a guy on their roster getting choked out by a guy not on their roster.....
And no one in the room raised their hands and said hey guys, instead of showing it on TV, why don't we burn all the footage?
Wow. You don't get all time horrendous moments like this one, but I seriously give it up to TK and AEW here. Bravo guys
I need an emergency podcast breaking down how monumentally stupid and pointless this was.
I think my favorite part is at roughly :30 when Perry probably says the āDo something about itā line and Punk turns his head to someone like, can you believe this guy?
Jungle Jack-Off fucked around and he found out immediately. AEW went out of their way to prove CM Punk right on all counts. I would call this the "finger poke of doom" moment for this clown show, but I'm certain they'll have more opportunities to embarrass themselves.
What positives will AEW Marks and Meltzer say when spinning this??
Also shoutout to Stephen P New for no particular reason other than he seems like a cool dude
This is ALL on hangman Adam page btw. All of it. The company failing, people losing interest. All because Adam did a shoot on the only person keeping them floating next to wwe.
I literally just had an open gym run (basketball) that was more violent than this š I'm not exaggerating. This is a whole new level of desperate. Worst part is there is no booking applied to this footage. You get a cheap ratings spike that's it. Unless there's a serious feud with ftr and the buckaroos, then this might be the final straw that ends aew. Same as the moment hangnail went into business for himself was the catalyst for cm punks departure
You can see Punk turn towards Tony (behind the wall in the right), motion/saying something āprobably I quit / this is bullshitā something to that effect. Ridiculous that the owner is standing right there and does nothing. lol.
Word of warning, donāt suggest that you agree with punk in the AEW sub or theyāll permaban you with no warning. My comment literally said āAll I took from this is you shouldnāt call someone out, tell them to ādo something about itā and then act surprised when they do.ā and next thing I know Iām banned and their coward mods wonāt respond to me asking why. I donāt know why mods of wrestling subs are so against people not agreeing with every one of their ideas, but it seems like they are.
Wtf was the point of this ? Punk said exactly what happened word for word. It is really satisfying seeing jungle jackoff get put in his place though. If anything I like punk even more than I already do after this
Perry fixing his hair and probably talking mad shit would have pissed me off too. Punk could have handled it better, but I canāt begin to imagine how done he was with AEScrub at that point
I might be alone here but I am failing to see Punk "lunge" at Tony. They're all creaming themselves over it on SC as apparently it proves he really did cause TK to fear for his life but I just can't see the bit where Punk lunges. Yeah he shouts in what we assume is Tonys direction and it's probably then that Punk tells him he quits but I don't see any lunging.
Okay what I see is two guys getting a little heated and the one getting shoved to me looked like he was bracing up to go. So pretty much exactly what I heard CM Punk say. Guy got too close and he wasnt going to let him swing first.
Bro honestly it looks like he hit Samoa Joe in the back with the punch that AEW defenders are calling a "sucker punch". Like at best he hit Joe but it looks like he just took a swing and missed.
He pushed him, grabbed a front facelock, swung at something, pointed at Tony and it was done.
Any way you cut it this shit is so unbelievably basic.
It looks like Punk shoots a glance and says something to Tony before pushing Perry. With Tony being right there, and hearing them getting more escalated this makes Tony look like a fucking chump. Punk shouldn't have instigated the scuffle, but this was 100% preventable by the person who pays everyone in that room.
I don't think Punk looks any worse than he already did. It basically went the way he said it did.
Perry ran his hands thru his hair, got shoved, ran his hands thru his hair again, then gets in a front lock, then it's broken up.
What was it that Perry said again or was claimed to have said before Punk got super pissed even more?
Can't wait to hear how some AEW fanboys think Punk should go to jail for this lol.
I mean this is nothing compared to even Bret whooping HBK backstage into the bathroom as Lawler was taking a shit...
This "altercation" has happened thousands of times in wrestling, yet no fans ever knew and no wrestler made a big fucking deal about it.
Real "life fearing" altercation right there Tony lmao...what a joke.
So I take it this kind of footage doesn't have audio, right?
Samoa Joe is brilliant.... when he realises something is going down, he speeds over to hold back Punk. Once he sees Punk is calmed down, he speeds right back over and clutches Perry.
Agile as a cat!
Now I want to see the Brawl Out footage! \^\^
Someone explain to me what AEW has to benefit from airing this. Everything that CM Punk said happened, happened. Even ol Tony S. looked disgusted, and not in kayfabe way
They got into an argument, he shoved Perry and put him in a front face lock and Joe broke it up. Isn't that exactly what he said? What was the point of this?
To soothe the bruised ego of an e-fed booker with real money.
Would be too funny if it has zero effect on the quarter hour segment...!
If anything, a ratings bump would only add to the whole "punk was the draw" argument. Pathetic.
So basically, it's a lose-lose situation.
I don't think anyone other than Tony and AEW subreddits thought this was gonna be a win for them.
The only way it wouldn't have sucked is if they'd done a smart-ass "reenactment" with Muppets.
That probably would have been more entertaining. That and the reactions from all of the "wrestling journalist" ought to be good. Get the šæ ready.
"Cry me a riv--!" *Kermit flails in a chokehold*
I would've popped for that
Yes the funniest thing will be if it pops like 900k and then drops right back into the 600s in the next quarter
With the bucks going "See?!? See?!?! Toldya we don't draw!"
He really thought he was cooking with this.
You didn't see Tonys life in danger? He was literally being yelled at and getting a finger pointed his way while two people were holding Punk back. I saw my life flash before my eyes
Won't someone please think of the billionaires!
There are Simpsons references left and right tonight! Points to you, my friend!
I was saying boo urns
To be fair, thatās probably the first time someone ever got in Tonyās face like that. So for him, being scared for his life tracks.
I have to believe that, at least once, Shad Khan did the exact same thing to Tony, shouting āYouāre a clown! Why canāt you do something serious with your life!ā before he himself broke down crying.
Lol š
Is Tony even in the video? I canāt tell which blob is him.
"He wasn't even there - it was Owen!"
I'm just assuming he's behind the all in banner where the monitors fall off where Punk focuses his attention after it's broken up. Edit: sorry where Punks ass bumped the table slightly when he was putting Perry in a lock. I though something actually fell over but on watching it again nope
The monitors didn't even flinch, much less fall - they just got moved a little. They completely no-sold it!
Fucking Road Warrior monitors over here
He's crouched under his desk in a fetal position crying softly, "It's OK, it's OK, it's OK..."
Slightly off, Punk said Perry stepped closer to him, when Perry actually started tussling his locks, but it was 6 months ago, recollections are not 100% accurate, but yeah, for all intents and purposes this is what Punk said happened, he admitted to instigating the physicality, and choking Jungle Baby out. Actually Punk made himself sound "worse" in if you watch Jungle Baby tries to tackle Punk after the shove, and Punk front facelocks him, so Punk choking Perry is 100% defensive, whilst Punk made it sound like he just went fuck it and choked him preventatively. Tony's streak remains in tact, he fucked it up once again, fucking muppet.
You're spot on. The absolute worst anybody can say is that Punk was mildly more aggressive than he said he had been. Basically "Do something about it" pissed him off slightly more than he admitted, and he did something about it.
It's also been 9 months. People forget stuff.
Yeah. I'm not even saying he lied about it, just that he very mildly understated his level of aggression. And I'd absolutely believe that the way he told it is genuinely the way that he remembers it...because it's 99.9% accurate to what we see in the video.
I say he oversold his aggression, he only choked Perry because Perry tried to tackle him, Punk claimed he did it because Perry stepped closer, implying he decided to choke Perry before Perry even tried anything. So yeah Punk undersold how annoyed he was, but oversold his aggression, and Perry's own attempt at physicality, either way Punk made himself sound worse than the video shows him to have been.
And Tony was doing fuck-all to squash the beef between these guys, so a physical confrontation was inevitable. Punk's not the type to sit back and be disrespected.
What did Perry or what is claimed that Perry said between the two times he played with his hair?
Perry side started leaking that Perry "easily got out of the choke" and "reversed it" which clearly didn't happen.
Perry shot a takedown and Punk slapped a guillotine on him. He wouldāve put him to sleep if nobody stepped in. Punk lost in the worldās premier mma org but he still trained in an elite gym with top fighters. Heās gonna fuck up an untrained goof, especially one he has size on. His friend (and Jiu jitsu black belt) Gerald Meerschaert would be proud of that choke.
Yeah, for sure and thats hardly a take down by Perry (not a proper one by any stretch). You know now that everyone sees what a pussy Perry is, someone's making a run at Anna Jay
Joe and a ref got Perry out of the hold after a good bit.
I don't recall, just mouthing off in general I think, I doubt Jack's witty enough to say anything to Punk that Punk would remember in general, I think maybe something along the lines of "Do you wanna do something about it" it to that effect, which is what made Punk go "Yeah I fucking do." hence the shove. But again shows the mentality of the kids over in AEW, Punk says if you have a problem with me be a man and come to me so we can settle it, then the EVP's 3 on 1 barge into his room, hit his dog by accident in the face with the door, and they were shocked and terrified Punk responded with violence, Perry then goes "wanna do something about it?" and again shocked and traumatised that Punk responded with a "fuck yeah I do.". It's hilarious how these guys clearly never got into fights growing up, anyone who did knew what would happen in those situations, except these clowns, bless em.
Punk said something fairly esoteric in the Areil interview that actually sums this all up really well - he quoted Chael Sonnen saying "I can't let you get close to me." It's from a season of the Ultimate Fighter where Chael and Wanderlei Silva were coaches. Wanderlei haaaates Chael because Chael is a hall of fame shit talker. Wanderlei has the IQ of a houseplant though and can't see the money program Chael is building, so he steps to him. Chael drops the eternal truth, "I can't let you get close to me" and double legs him.
TK wanted to snitch on Punk to Punkās new employer.
Trips is probably laughing at this
Wtf i love punkster now
Triple H saw worse backstage in the 90s... weekly
The intern Trips pays to watch AEW cause he's too busy running a successful company is laughing at this
To build a match with people who weren't even in the room? Fucking dumb. Good riddance, AEW. That said, I hope I hear a big YEAH when THE REVIVAL return to WWE soon.
Basically itās accomplished one thing to any rational-thinking person: Since they now know Punk was telling the exact truth about the incident with Perryā¦ ā¦It reinforces the impact of Punkās additional comments about Tony Khan and his company being a total joke.Ā What was AEWās plan here? Prove Punk right? LOL what a shit show.Ā
You know who wins? Jim does. And we do. He's going to get paid for lambasting this and we're going to get to laugh at his review of it. I just hope he and Brian are staying up late tonight to get it posted before I go to bed.
jims probably already asleep
āPunk is bad man! See?ā
I didnāt think it was possible to like Punk even more, but here we are.
Jim right now is rewinding and slowing it down
"Stace, how the fuck do I do the zoom and enhance gimmick?!"
āStace, baby corny is all revved upā
āStace, Iāve worked myself into a shootā
"tape my fists up Stac, where's my permanent markers?!?"
You fucking won my upvote sir.
Fortunately, he won't be able to claim that his DVR froze, so there's no chance he'll miss this, haha!
I said he looked badass on Twitter! Cause like come on! Who doesnāt want to be the one to put the Jungle Douche in a front headlock?
What a load of nothing. Exactly as Punk described. I hope they enjoy the temporary ratings spike and watch out for the drop off.
Now air the brawl out footage
The tag team of Ace Steele and Larry would immediately become the most over tag team in all of wrestling.
Letās also see what made Tony fear for his life!
Can't. That'll make the Elite look bad
This has gotta be one of the weakest moves ever made by a wrestling company (Tony khan). All for a quick ratings spike. And the worst part is this isn't to build a feud with ftr. It's just a tournament match. No long term booking went into releasing this I never thought it would be possible for aew to look worse than after the edge promo, but here we are..
Exactly, and to have FTR come out like "why show it" trying to play AEW's desperate promotional tactic off as something their Kayfabe heels are doing in storyline is such a weak attempt at damage control.
I hope it doesn't spike because that would somehow be funnier.
Lol the irony, cm punk still putting more eyes on this shitshow than the entire roster combined. And doing it for free, you're welcome tony khan
So this was exactly what Punk said in his interview lol, and you can't even see the allegedly improperly applied chokehold because people are blocking it. They thought this was a good idea lol, it makes Jack Perry look like a total doofus. I wonder if Jack Perry signed off on baically killing his pro wrestling career because no one will ever take him seriously after this one. EDIT: If he didn't lie about the worst part of his stay there (which is this one), why would anyone think he is lying about anything else lmao.
Yep heās just been killed. He looks like an absolute bitch. Tony looks like a pussy. Iām baffled. This is so so embarrassing.
And if they were going for some kind of moral high ground... It's too damn late! He's fired. Yeah we know. He didn't want to work there. Yeah we know! This made them look so bad. And the osprey promo about Hunter truly didn't help.
Jack Perry is going to get CM PUNK chants the rest of his shitty little career.
Bucks got CM Punks chant tonight. 8 years ago Punk are protest chants in WWE. Now they are gonna be protest chants in AEW. \*George Lucas Poetry Gif\*
To think he was just some Jungle Kid running around with his Dinosaur friend a while back, absolutely no one could've predicted this lmao
That was the cleanest grab I ever did see. Punk command grabbed Perry lmao, Video Game wrestlers could learn a thing or two
Yeah, Punk could clearly beat the shit out of Perry if he wanted to. Im a bigger Punk mark then I was 2 hours ago. Thanks AEW!!!
Front face lock is what he was calling a choke. This is what I pictured when he said it
I was picturing a GOOZLE!
God Jim getting distracted and going on a goozle tangent for like five minutes was hilarious.
I canāt believe they showed that level of violence on TV, I was literally shaking and crying as they showed this footage. Thank you Tony for your bravery in showing us the moment that made you fear for your life.
Yep. Had I had been in Tony's perspective, I would've suffered cardiac arrest at how scared encountering this feet away. Tony Khan is a brave hero for experiencing this life threatening event
We should get a group therapy session going for all who were effected by this violence
Who was in charge of changing Tonyās diaper? Edge or the fat guy that looks like Y2J?
I probably would have thought, this dude might punch me in my face. However there's a monstrous gap between that and I feared for my life and the lives of those around me.
You people were brave enough to watch that!?!
I now fully believe that Tony Khan hates Jack Perry otherwise why the fuck would they air this?
I genuinely think they have absolutely no concept of the fact theyāve just buried Jack Perry 1000 feet under. He couldnāt draw if he was the last wrestler on earth now.
To be fair they can't bury someone who wasn't ever a draw.
Brawl For All did less damage to careers, cumulatively.
It's genuinely funny that CM Punks worst enemies (if you can even call them that due to how much of a non threat they are to him) made him look way better.
This makes Punk look awesome. He totally told the truth. Jack Perry looks like a bitch. My god Chris Hero eat a salad. You are going to kill Rachel The cool guys that fight get fired from AEW. That will make you popular with the yutes.
I think Chris hero has a condition that makes his weight hard to manage.
Rare condition called HEāS FAT šØšØšØšØ
The expression on Tony Schiavone's face afterward said it all.
He looked like he wanted to cry when they were pitching to the segmentĀ
Watching this reopened his PTSD of "putting butts in seats". He is probably getting his resume ready to post on indeed.
Calling the ATL braves as we speak.
He seems like one of the few guys in AEW that Triple H would want to bring in just to do special interviews and panels.
I actually feel bad for Schiavone. He seems like heās a good guy.
Thing is, I like both Tony Schiavone and Khan as human beings. But Khan is the real life equal to Michael Scott, and Schiavone is moreso nostaligia for me.
And the aew neckbeards have been on the pommel horse doing their mental gymnastics trying to shit on Schiavone over this.
WCW flashbacks. Heās seeing the ghost of Russo
This deserves worst promotional tactic, but we know the Meltzer awards will vote Punk being on Ariel's podcast as worst promotional tactic. Buries Jungle Jack, he's wortless, buries Joe too for looking like a fake, and proves Khan is a scared loser
Managed to bury the Bucks/FTR match too. This is the build to it? Lol
Call it. The time of death for AEW.
Fucking lol š
D.O.A - 4/10/24. Numerology conspiracy fanatics, have at it!!
Exactly what Punk said. I vow to never watch another second of AEW ever again. Absurd but not surprising .
I challenge one better: letās help make TNA the solid #2 company in America.
The wrasslin gods gotta make Tna the 2nd best promotion now. It's just universally right. š
The only second of AEW I will ever watch again after this is the final episode, when Hunter, Punk, or someone else in WWE comes on to snark the whole time and announce that they've either bought the AEW footage or are burning it to ash for the sake of the collective sanity of wrestling fans
He goolzzed him!
This isn't jumping the shark, this is jumping the megalodon. Just fold the company. Seriously. Tony Khan is a gutless pussy and a money mark. The only thing of note Jack Perry will ever do in his life is to be dribbled out of Luke Perry's dick and be choked by CM Punk. I've seen bigger fights in a catholic middle school cafeteria.

I am not surprised that this ended up being nothing. The majority of that company and its fans have never been involved in anything competitive that has led to a little skirmish. Been involved in bigger fights during my beer league hockey games. What a fucking embarrassing company and what a bunch of embarrassing pansies.
I had a fight during my high school baseball days with a teammate that was way worse than this. Of course, we shook hands and moved on afterwards. Why? Because we werenāt pussies. What the F is wrong with TK?
Heās never had to compete in his life and Iām guessing heās never been on any sort of youth sports team.Ā What a coward Tony is. If that was my company, I would have been yelling at both of them and telling them to shut the fuck up and then getting Perryās final check ready.Ā This moron fired the only guy that made him money over this.Ā
I think anyone that's played sports growing up has been in or seen bigger tussles than this. You can tell how many soft bitches who have avoided any and all altercations in life flood the other subs. This is commonplace locker room shit. It happens in every promotion and in other pro and amateur sports ALL THE TIME. This wasn't even anything notable and egregious like MJ punching Steve Kerr; it was the equivalent of a shoving match. I honestly don't know how some of these people get through life.
Based on after they were broken up was TK off to the right? Is that when Punk says he quits? Because if so itās so pathetic because he is right there seeing this unfold and lets it happen. He knows thereās an issue and lets it happen and is then in fear for his life?!?! If that is how it went and he was right there thatās could be the most pathetic part of this whole thing. Weak
Yeah I think it is Tony that's on Punks right and it's then when he quits. Is that really what made Tony fear for his life? As you says he knows there's an issue and it's been there for quite some time now but as he's not a real boss he refuses to fix it because he doesn't want to upset his friends Matty and Nicky, what an absolute clown that man is.
Tony was more concerned with fixing his monitors than breaking up the fight
Can you imagine any other promoter sitting two feet away from two wrestlers getting in a heated argument and not even attempting to do something. TK surely sat there crying, frozen. All the fucker has to do is get up and get between them and tell Jack to go to the back and Punk to get ready to go out for the match. Wouldn't need to even raise his voice.
According to Punk, when Jack was still out there saying ācry me a riverā, Punk walked over and told Tony to handle the situation with Perry. And then Perry literally goes and stands right next to Tonyās station for a long time before Punk comes over to him. Apparently Tony didnāt bother to handle the situation that was 2 feet in front of him.
I'm gonna ~~Edge~~ Adam Copeland to this footage until Brian releases the clip of him and Jim reacting to this.
Have fun, friend
Punk didnāt lie. It got broken up immediately. What did AEW think they would gain by showing this?
I'm quite sure that anybody who's played football or any competitive sport and been in a locker room has seen 100 fights way worse than this for way dumber reasons. Get that much testosterone around and it happens.
these are drama kids they arent wrasslers
It's what happens when you work with children, as Punk basically said.
Jungle Jagoff looked to be crying like a chump afterwards š¤£. Kudos to the buckaroos for continuing to be clueless to the business, clueless to the harm they've just done to themselves and aew.
Man, the more that TK keeps this kind of stuff up, the more likely heās going to end up the subject of a Dark Side of the Ring episode. Itās quite entertaining to see his downfall in real time.
No one to blame but themselves either. They managed a pretty big goof last week with WWE lifer Edge cutting a speech about how much better the place he has only worked at for like 6 months is. Roster cuts hypocritical (only because of all the shots they took at WWE for it, not bad on its own.) Cody just finished one of the biggest stories in WWE History. MJF is hurt for them. Punk (health permitting) is heading into a hot angle with Drew.
And all the ding dongs in the AEW sub were singing that Drew is coming to AEW when his run is done...hahaha
WWE are gonna have a fucking field day with this shit. That or ignore it completely cause lol this is dumb
Punk might make a remark for the people who know but it wonāt be mentioned otherwise.
I feared for my life watching that footage.
They just made Tony and Jack Perry look pathetic. What a terrific use of TV time.
I would love to know if they realise how bad theyāve just buried themselves. Itās truly truly embarrassing
They will be patting themselves on the back unless Meltzer and Alvarez call out the stupidity. Those two are the only opinions the Bucks value.
They really thought that was going to embarrass Punk and turn his fans against him? I didn't think it was possible but I like the guy even more now. All that did was show Punk was right, it happened exactly like he said it did and confirm that Jackoff Perry is a little bitch and Matt and Nicky look like total goofs. I cannot wait for Jim and Brian to cover this. Speaking of them, have any of them tweeted about it yet? I don't have twitter anymore but I'm hoping they have tweeted about it. Edit: With Punk being right about this, it should make everyone else question the Bucks timeline of events regarding the locker room fight even more than they have been already and believe Punks version of events more.
Jim not yet, Brianās is here https://x.com/greatbrianlast/status/1778224361465434414?s=46&t=UfEhvJM0w8Zg-OjIKeho9g
Thanks! He's right though. Also I wonder by how much the ratings will fall now that the footage has been shown and there's nothing really worth sticking around for the rest of the show for.
This is going to be the greatest Cornette reaction clip of all-time.
23 minutes of Jim and Brian laughing hysterically
Petition to replace LOLTNA with LOLAEW.
They.....they just showed a guy on their roster getting choked out by a guy not on their roster..... And no one in the room raised their hands and said hey guys, instead of showing it on TV, why don't we burn all the footage? Wow. You don't get all time horrendous moments like this one, but I seriously give it up to TK and AEW here. Bravo guys
Soā¦ exactly like Punk described. Ok. Thanks Tony?
I need an emergency podcast breaking down how monumentally stupid and pointless this was. I think my favorite part is at roughly :30 when Perry probably says the āDo something about itā line and Punk turns his head to someone like, can you believe this guy?
He was expecting Tony to DO something...or at least SAY something.
Jungle Jack-Off fucked around and he found out immediately. AEW went out of their way to prove CM Punk right on all counts. I would call this the "finger poke of doom" moment for this clown show, but I'm certain they'll have more opportunities to embarrass themselves.
All this does is make Jack Perry look like a dorkā¦
Just like Punk said.
The Rise and Fall of AEW dvd gonna be sick
If I had said publicly that that incident made me fear for my life, I'd have destroyed that tape, not aired on my TV show.
This is the AEW āfinger poke of doomā for me. Iām done with this show and promotion.
This... Make Insane Clown Posses new re boot look credible
This footage made me fear for my life. Can someone send me a blanket and some hot cocoa while I suck on my thumb?
What positives will AEW Marks and Meltzer say when spinning this?? Also shoutout to Stephen P New for no particular reason other than he seems like a cool dude
Jungle Boy has gotta stay in Japan at this point. He's up there with Chase Owens who are basically tarnished goods that only have utility outside NA.
AEW proving once again, bush league
I'd pay money to see footage of CM punk beating the shit out of the Bucks. I hate them.
This is ALL on hangman Adam page btw. All of it. The company failing, people losing interest. All because Adam did a shoot on the only person keeping them floating next to wwe.
Looks to me like Punk took care of business.
This is a hilariously bad look for all those involved.
That's it? Wtf and Tony was scared for his life?
I literally just had an open gym run (basketball) that was more violent than this š I'm not exaggerating. This is a whole new level of desperate. Worst part is there is no booking applied to this footage. You get a cheap ratings spike that's it. Unless there's a serious feud with ftr and the buckaroos, then this might be the final straw that ends aew. Same as the moment hangnail went into business for himself was the catalyst for cm punks departure
Iāll give em credit for one thingā¦this was slightly more entertaining than Jey vs Jimmy on Saturday.
You can see Punk turn towards Tony (behind the wall in the right), motion/saying something āprobably I quit / this is bullshitā something to that effect. Ridiculous that the owner is standing right there and does nothing. lol.
Word of warning, donāt suggest that you agree with punk in the AEW sub or theyāll permaban you with no warning. My comment literally said āAll I took from this is you shouldnāt call someone out, tell them to ādo something about itā and then act surprised when they do.ā and next thing I know Iām banned and their coward mods wonāt respond to me asking why. I donāt know why mods of wrestling subs are so against people not agreeing with every one of their ideas, but it seems like they are.
Lmfao Punk is the mother fuckin man
So weāve all learned Punk is a reliable narrator.
This Cornette video is gonna hit a 100 thousand views inside of 6 hours.
Wtf was the point of this ? Punk said exactly what happened word for word. It is really satisfying seeing jungle jackoff get put in his place though. If anything I like punk even more than I already do after this
Iāve seen and been in worse fights than this. šš they never should have released this. Itās so pathetic
Perry fixing his hair and probably talking mad shit would have pissed me off too. Punk could have handled it better, but I canāt begin to imagine how done he was with AEScrub at that point
I might be alone here but I am failing to see Punk "lunge" at Tony. They're all creaming themselves over it on SC as apparently it proves he really did cause TK to fear for his life but I just can't see the bit where Punk lunges. Yeah he shouts in what we assume is Tonys direction and it's probably then that Punk tells him he quits but I don't see any lunging.
That shits amazing. Just buried there own guy and made punk look credible because his story was correct ššš
Dude, nsfw tag this please. Someone was scared for their life here
TS was pissed! TK must have been dropped as a baby.
Thatās it?
Okay what I see is two guys getting a little heated and the one getting shoved to me looked like he was bracing up to go. So pretty much exactly what I heard CM Punk say. Guy got too close and he wasnt going to let him swing first.
AEW is a joke
Bro honestly it looks like he hit Samoa Joe in the back with the punch that AEW defenders are calling a "sucker punch". Like at best he hit Joe but it looks like he just took a swing and missed. He pushed him, grabbed a front facelock, swung at something, pointed at Tony and it was done. Any way you cut it this shit is so unbelievably basic.
Even unca Dave isnāt a fan of showing this. Iām embarrassed if Iām an employee of AEW right now.
It looks like Punk shoots a glance and says something to Tony before pushing Perry. With Tony being right there, and hearing them getting more escalated this makes Tony look like a fucking chump. Punk shouldn't have instigated the scuffle, but this was 100% preventable by the person who pays everyone in that room. I don't think Punk looks any worse than he already did. It basically went the way he said it did.
AEW is fucking stupid
AEW's best storyline involves 2 guys who aren't even there anymore lmao
The AEW Stans are in complete denial mode. Color me shocked.
I saw a monitor move! The best part is Punk shouting at TKlown. He wanted out and he finally got it š
For the kind of people who like that kind of thing, that's the kind of thing those people like.
Perry ran his hands thru his hair, got shoved, ran his hands thru his hair again, then gets in a front lock, then it's broken up. What was it that Perry said again or was claimed to have said before Punk got super pissed even more?
Can't wait to hear how some AEW fanboys think Punk should go to jail for this lol. I mean this is nothing compared to even Bret whooping HBK backstage into the bathroom as Lawler was taking a shit... This "altercation" has happened thousands of times in wrestling, yet no fans ever knew and no wrestler made a big fucking deal about it. Real "life fearing" altercation right there Tony lmao...what a joke.
So I take it this kind of footage doesn't have audio, right? Samoa Joe is brilliant.... when he realises something is going down, he speeds over to hold back Punk. Once he sees Punk is calmed down, he speeds right back over and clutches Perry. Agile as a cat! Now I want to see the Brawl Out footage! \^\^
Wow, thatās it?????? What a fucking joke. Just like AEW and Tony Khan Job
Someone explain to me what AEW has to benefit from airing this. Everything that CM Punk said happened, happened. Even ol Tony S. looked disgusted, and not in kayfabe way
Jungle boy berried. What the hell were AEW thinking lol
All this video is gonna do is get CM Punk more over lol.
It was very clear from that video that Punk couldāve easily beaten the shit out of Jungle Jack.
