>There’s a whole thing online where you have to pick a side between CM Punk and The Elite, that’s not how it is in the back. You have really close friends of The Elite that are like, ‘Hey, I’m with you guys, I’m riding with you guys.’ There’s really close friends of Punk that are going to side with Punk. I haven’t revealed this to anybody, CM Punk hurt his foot last year. I hurt my foot in February, Punk messaged me multiple times a week checking on me. Regardless of anyone wants to say about him, I only go off of interactions that I’ve had with people and he checked on me constantly, and I’m forever grateful for that. If I ever had any questions before a show, Punk was always there, especially during his first run. I haven’t really been there much since Punk has come back, I don’t know how he’s been, I’m not gonna speak for anyone else’s opinion on him. However, I have to turn around and say the Bucks have been phenomenal to me. From day one, they’ve treated me like a brother, a wrestler, one of the boys. They never treated me like an extra, they never acted like they were above me because they were EVPs, they’ve checked on me since I’ve got hurt and since I’ve got released, I’ve got messages from both Matt and Nick saying, ‘We had no clue, we’re so sorry. We wish the best for you.’ I’ve had great interactions with everyone, more so the Bucks and Punk than Kenny, but Kenny does a lot of stuff with the female division. But anytime I had questions about going to Japan or about my matches, he was incredibly nice. There’s a lot of talk and heat about the butting heads at the top, but a lot of our top guys really want the best for the industry,"

>>11005132 >He continued, “The first match I had with HOOK for [his] debut [match], I come to the back after I lose and Punk immediately comes up to me and says, ‘Hey, I know you’re on the losing end of this, but we’re trying to make a star and you did everything in your power to make that kid tonight and I appreciate you for that.’ It’s hard for me to hate a guy, I wasn’t there in Chicago on All Out night, I don’t know what happened, and I refuse to speculate and I refuse to ask my friends on each side what happened because that’s all about bullshit in the back. I’m worried about growing the wrestling business, being a better wrestler every day. I think a lot of wrestlers get caught up in bullshit and I refuse to in that sense.” https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/fuego-del-sol-says-there-no-picking-sides-between-cm-punk-and-elite-back Anonymous

They never treated me like an extra, they never acted like they were above me because they were EVPs What Fuego fails to realize is this is what got the Bucks heat with Punk. He thought they weren't acting like top guys are supposed to, because they didn't carry themselves as superior to everyone else in spite of their position. They didn't insist on being traditional locker room leaders the way Punk did, obnoxiously going up to people and telling them how things were going to be.

>>11005899 Your line of thinking might make sense if everyone in AEW knew what they're doing and didn't require any guidance, but you flat out have dozens of wrestler that aren't trained enough or aren't talented enough to be featured on prime time cable television, who only got their jobs because they were initially brought in as friends of the executives.

>>11006049 You'll have to list these "dozens of wrestler", who were on tv at the time Punk started seething, that "aren't trained enough" (do you even have a clue what prowrestling training consists of, or how long it usually lasts?)

It's pretty fucking weird that Tony doesn't inform wrestlers he's not renewing them. They all basically call for their schedule and are told they didn't get renewed, lol. The fuck kinda business is run like that?

Punk really think hes a locker room leader huh?

The fuck kinda business is run like that? He got heat for it like a year or two ago. Then he allegedly hired Christopher Daniels to run talent relations and they've still been basically ghosting people when they're let go.

>>11006170 he's the most accomplished wrestler in the locker room outside of Jericho and sting. hes drawn more money than everyone minus the above 2. hes been in locker rooms with actual guys in the biggest company and has been consistantly over every time he shows up anywhere. whats the prerequisite for being a leader? getting a sick pop in front of 400 people. aew is cursed with small time happy to be here mentality. Zero growth is the result. maybe being friends isn't the answer.

>>11006313 in their current state, yeah, neither of the hardys know how to wrestle a good match anymore, they can't do the stuff they used to and they don't know how to work a style that can cover for their modern-day weaknesses. when ric flair had his last match, he trained for it, and he worked differently than he did when he was wrestling steamboat decades ago.

>>11006374 sad. you dont even remember that Vince retiring and trips taking over is what killed aews momentum.
>neilsen ratings >milly as a metric please don't tell me you actually believe tv ratings are real anon. the difference between 800k and 1 million is less than 100 real people aka boomers and shut in retards who actually go through the process to be a "Nielsen family". imagine citing Jewish advertising voodoo as legitimate. might as well throw a bunch of chicken bones on the ground and see what shape they make.

>>11006347 Stop backtracking kid. You were asked who wasn't trained enough. You were retarded enough to say the Hardys.
>B-but I cant read and meant they were too old and busted! And somehow thought "training" would fix that. Here's the reality you moron: they see the Hardys as a nostalgia act and they'll put them on tv if they think that can be exploited.
Now, looking at the rest of your shitty list, it's still clear you've got no clue what prowrestling "training" is.

>Now, looking at the rest of your shitty list, it's still clear you've got no clue what prowrestling "training" is. I would suppose AEW management doesn't know what training is either, considering Jungle Boy has been featured for four years and still can't cut a good promo nor wrestled with any psychology.
Hence why AEW feels the need to wheel out nostalgia acts like the Hardys, because AEW is starved for anything that can draw after hiring a bunch of indie talent that apparently don't need training or advice.
