It was such a long time ago. I can’t even remember who reported it but I remember there was one report where supposedly punk came in and he said he was just gonna walk back out and leave like he wasn’t even going to do the show and then FTR posted like a picture with punk backstage, and it was like it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Another one I remember the ones with actual sources saying they didn't know where the fuck that came from bc Punk had been quiet as fuck from all they'd heard lol

I think the problem is we can as fans assess more reliable dirts from those that aren’t, but Punk just sees lies about him spreading from those dirts to social media.

Oh this I don't doubt, he should just make blanket statements against them and I think we'd all agree. The issue is when he calls out specific ones and I feel he's just got bad info from people I think he believes are his friends but want to see him start shit. And when he calls out roster members for leaking but that's a separate issue and much worse, him calling out Alvarez is obviously not a major issue

But also your "we" does not apply to many wrestling fans either, 90% just see a twitter headline from WrestleWhateverTheFuck and if they agree with the narrative they treat it as fact, and it's sad to me that Punk also seems to do this among other wrestlers. If they'd just quote the tweet that's one thing

I honestly think even if we give Hangman the benefit of doubt and he was just trying to do a work promo and didn’t think anything of it, I think that changed everything for Punk. Cause I can’t remember any negative reactions from him whatsoever before double or nothing but I think once hangman sort of gave credence to the rumors, and then punk was hurt, and he was sitting at home, he let it fester.

Jeff may have said it best. Prior trauma led paranoia.

That I also agree with and I said forever ago that even if I thought the Hangman line was innocent myself, it's on him and AEW and maybe even Punk a little too bc you should just fucking run your promo content by each other lol if Punk and Hangman had went over it more backstage or were forced to by management then we'd see nothing lol you don't have to script shit but when you're supposed to take shots at each other...run those shots by them backstage first. You don't want to do the Vince shit where he'd pit people against each other legitimate for feud heat

Like I also thought Sammy's line about Eddie being a fat piece of shit was innocent but it set Eddie off, you should probably let a guy know if you're gonna call them a fat piece of shit before hand even if that seems innocent compared to other shit said

I agree. You don’t have to script promos word for word, but if you plan to say something that may cross a line for someone, clear that beforehand.

Especially worked shoots jabs. Like you said.

Even comedians roasting each other can get real real quick and take offense to something said if them.

Like another example is I'm petty sure MJF and Punk knew what the other was going to say for everyone of their segments.

I'd even say Eddie and Punk too bc tbh with those both being the guys that have had incidents based on what was said about them, I can't imagine that shit was okay if not bc they threw some slugs :lol

Wait, if this is implying what I think it is, that’s a perfectly valid reason for Punk to want his name out of that man’s mouth no matter what he saying about him. Even if it’s true.
