>>7710956This. Some of these guys have known Punk for years. Even decades. Yet not one person in AEW has come out in favor of bringing Punk back, even though he's their biggest star and they have potentially the hottest angle in company history on their hands.
Not Danielson. Not Jericho. Not Joe. Not even MJF nor Darby, both of whom had their biggest programs ever with Chicagoman Phil and were fans of him as kids and have the potential for even bigger programs if Punk comes back.
Fuck, Shawn Michaels was lockerroom cancer too, but even at his most reviled he had way more defenders in the business than Punk does now.
Hell, other than Cornette, even industrymen who aren't under contract with AEW and likely never will be haven't defended him. Heyman hasn't defended him. Nor has Cena. Nor has The Rock. His own wife hasn't even defended him. Fuck, she wasn't even there to see him win the world title in his hometown. Even Michaels never pissed off his wife that badly. Not even when he relapsed.
