>>7807444Ace was responsible for the chair. Ace was responsible for the biting and hair pulling. No one has explicitly said who punched punched buck, but Punk was already pretty fucked up from that match and being made of glass. We have also all seen multiple film attempts by CM Phi to throw a punch, both in a live fight and with 20 takes against a gelatin dummy.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you must look at the evidence presented before you. On the one hand we have a man seemingly incapable of using his hands in a violent manner, on the other we have a man who tried to chew the arm off of Kenny Omega. You may be asking yourself, why is everyone so willing to admit that Ace is was the man who threw the chair and bit an EVP, but no one is willing to say that Punk specifically was the one who punched the punched buck? There was no covering up chairs and bites, Meltzer would demand at least that. However to protect his top guys Tony reached an agreement with everyone involved not speak about the actual fist fighting, it would damage almost everyone involved. Instead they agreed to hide the fact it was Ace. This would protect the Elite because having them known to have been beaten three on one in a shoot fight versus some psychotic midget would forever expose them. This protected Punk from presenting ANOTHER EXAMPLE of himself being incapable of physical confrontation and having to carry the reputation of the guy that got beat up by a skinny fat balding man with a cope bandana. This lets Tony at least try to damage control this before he shoot looses his mind.
And what did Ace get? A lot of people were laughing when Ace posted that pic of himself dancing with the word "freedom," the day before he was released. People were claiming that it meant he thought he wasn't going to be fired. Nah, he was free from the company pressing charges for assault with a deadly weapon. Nigga shoot /HEEM/ed the Elite of All Elite Wrestling 3 on 1, and walked out of there scot free.
