>>14293204This can't be stated enough. During the All Out scrum, everybody was like,
>"Whoa! I can't believe Punk is speaking for Tony. Saying they're trying to run a business. And that the EVPs couldn't manage a Target. And Tony just sat there and nodded, not saying anything. WTF Punk?!"It's clear to me that Punk and Tony had these very discussions in private. That Punk was just saying how he and Tony felt in a public forum, because Tony wasn't man enough to do it.
And that's part of why The Elite got so pissed off. They knew they were losing control of Tony to Punk. Think about it. You really think they would attack Punk just because he questioned their leadership abilities? If anything, physically attacking Punk just proved his point that they're children.
Before you piggies start squealing at me, calling "bullshit", I'll leave you with this: why is it that agents, producers, medics, and even Tony Schiavone all approached CM Punk to stop Jungle Boy from the doing the spot? If Punk didn't have backstage power, they wouldn't have asked him to take care of it.
