>>12419880I don't understand what people think Punk is. He was working with goofs who mainly worked in the indies and never worked for a company with national TV. The few guys who had NJPW experience at the very least, actually hated that they were restricted to do things that (made fucking money). Kenny and the Bucks literally wanted to make PWG and have that mentality for their company. This is the same reason Cody left as well. The company is never going to be bigger than it was in 2021, because the guys in Tony's ear don't want that. They want a fucking indy fed that has national TV. They'll get their snowflakes from Meltzer, but even now, they're basically a non-factor because Tony can't book anything compelling and lost his two biggest guys. AEW guys are going to see that shit and realize that WWE isn't as bad as they thought.
Punk's main issues in WWE were with fucking Ryshit, HHH and Vince. And he still worked with Ryback anyway. His problems with AEW were apparent when he said he worked with fucking children, who would disrespect guys like Sting and shit and thought they knew more.
