>Hangman makes a trivial, inconsequential remark about Punk during a promo segment they did together
>nobody has any reason to believe he was shooting on Punk, it was no different to the shit Eddie Kingston said to him when they were feuding
>Punk seethes about it for months
>decides eventually that he's going to bury Hangman by calling him out in the middle of the ring when he knew he wasn't scheduled to appear
>everyone watching knew immediately that it was a shoot, because why the fuck would Punk get the green light to make Hangman look like a complete and total coward?
>even after burying Hangman, relegating him to the midcard and winning the world title twice, Punk is still seething about the throwaway comment that Hangman made in a promo 4 months earlier
>starts shooting on him in the media scrum, calls him a know-nothing shithead, buries his accomplishments in AEW, buries the EVPs for "leaking rumors" that he got Colt Cabana demoted (even though anyone with a brain could see that's exactly what happened) and challenged them to "come find him backstage" if they didn't like what he had to say
>they do come find him backstage
>AEW ruined
>it's all Hangman's fault
Wow what an asshole.
