[Hoss]

He has the political way of describing his stance down pat

 

[Cwalker]

Very smart and politically correct response

 

[Comrade Khan]

Also kind of confirming more of what ive been saying in that cody n the elite had differences in what wrestling they liked

I could definitely see that

I think that works as a promo but it probably isn't gonna fly backstage Can't have an unprecedented temper tantrum where you throw the whole company under the bus and chalk it up to a bad day

yeah that tweet leaves a lot out :

Mark Henry: "Yes (Punk should return to AEW), and I if I was in charge, I would bring him back. I would bring him back with him saying to the wrestling world - not an apology - just state the facts that,

'Grown men will disagree. Things (were) said that probably shouldn't have been said. And I regret airing my dirty laundry in front of the world. It won't happen again. Do we agree on everything? No. Can we work together and exist and have a business relationship? Yes. I will not let my personal feelings and gripes interfere with business. Ultimately the important thing is business, and I am the business, and business is good. AEW is better with me around. That being said, I would like to come back.'"

Bully Ray: "Mark, you said AEW -- you obviously said the word 'business' a couple of times, and you said AEW is better with CM Punk from a business point of view. I don't know the internal of CM Punk, all I know is what I hear from the guys and gals and people who may have been around him, but is the locker room better with CM Punk around?"

Mark Henry: "AEW is pro-AEW. CM Punk was an outlier. CM Punk was an outsider just like I am. I am not an original AEW talent. When **** hits the fan, you're gonna go with the people you were locked arms with in the beginning. That's just the way it is."

Bully Ray: "Are you talking about the core 4 (Elite) or everyone who was there for the first Dynamite?"

Mark Henry: "I'm talking about the core as well as everybody who was at AEW in its beginning. All of the people that worked their way up -- you look at the Dark Order -- every facet of AEW in the office. They were a tight nit group. It was great to be brought in, but ultimately we are the second cousins. And I feel like that CM Punk would have to come in and kinda acquiesce to that. Say, 'you know what, I know who I am and I'm gonna play my lane. But I'm here to make the business better, I'm here to make AEW better, and I think that I can do that.' My (Mark's) personal thoughts and complaints I will keep to myself."

 

[Comrade Khan]

to me it sounds like he is more trying to massage the message to punk that he gonna need to make some amends if he wants to come back while leaving the word apology out because it's probably a trigger for Pepsi Phil

 

[Alexa]

Or you know, Punk can just stay the fuck away. Maybe him and Suwama should start a company.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Me, alone : I just want both so I can enjoy both the elite n punk programs on the same night. Also I atill want Kenny to kick his butt

 

[Alexa]

Also I atill want Kenny to kick his butt

15 V-Triggers followed by 05 One-Winged Angels, right?

 

[Comrade Khan]

I was thinking 5 v trigs was enough, I don't want punk to be injured another year lol

 

[Roy Mustang]

I'm fine with Punk coming back if he says sorry backstage (I've moved on from the public apology as it kills the heat of the Elite feud and I was being petty because of Punk's dickish "The apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect" line) and The Elite aren't pushed out by him coming back. Also depends on the rumour of Punk politicking to get Page out of the title picture being true because if so, yeah I can see why the Elite might be done full stop with AEW including Page

 

[Comrade Khan]

i dont buy those new Punk politicking stories at all, it was always obvious Punk was getting the belt.

FWIW Mark Henry also said on his podcast The Elite apologized backstage when they came back and cleared the air to the rest of the locker room so its only fair for Punk to do the same
