>>12414892I ain't above it. It's time to get in the fucking gutter, let's sling some mud: Punk only had an aura because he was fired while he was still a big name, and only kept it because wrestling fans don't care about MMA (where he blew his opportunity twice). He declined to sign with AEW when it was a gamble, unlike Moxley and Jericho, who made a bet worth a damn on something that didn't exist. He only signed on once it was already a success, and got an office role because Tony's a Punk mark (we all know this). Getting Punk back to wrestling was initially exciting. He had matches that ranged in quality from good to very good and got out-promo'd by Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley. Then he injured himself doing something stupid, held a grudge about something stupid, came back, injured himself again doing something he didn't know how to do, blew up on camera, started a fight about it that got everyone involved suspended, came back to his own show because Tony's a Punk mark, immediately developed a stack of new grudges, got vagueposted on a pre-show, and lost his shit so badly he had to be fired by Tony - who, again, is a Punk mark.
Extremely embarrassing all around for Cuck Man Phil, who after nine years of shitting on WWE, has a long conversation with HHH and ends up right back where he started, at the company that FIRED HIM ON HIS WEDDING DAY.
