>>14157187You know what's funny is that this is the hidden gem of the whole story. Remember when he first got hurt and Tony wanted him to wrestle Dean anyway and Punk said he wanted to get cleared first, but Tony insisted that it'd just be a quick thing and he wouldn't have to.
Then you have all the weird injuries in AEW and dumbass spots that they do. The Hardy ones famously.
>>14157224Yet, the company basically DOES do everything he bitched about and gave people time off if they needed it and shit now. It doesn't feel that long, but people forget that these guys were doing entire house show loops while holding titles. Punk had to fly to shows with an arm brace just do commentary and shit. The company is completely different now. They tend to sit people out when they need to. Shit, Roman straight up turned into a part-time mid way into his reign.
