Def implications that he would be manipulative and an issue for the girls but not underage IMO

Fair. I think “” is an interesting choice, but still dangerous and sexual predator are not weak accusations, either. I’d be furious.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

fwiw I didn't think underage but more impressionable and def implying being a predator of some sort

 

[Chris]

fwiw I think Alvarez even commenting on who Punk was or was not sleeping with is pretty gross in itself and Im glad fightful at least doesnt stoop that low. guessing they dont do much of this reporting on Meltzer anymore either

Was part of a larger picture of why he had heat at the time with WWE allegedly along with other reasons that also died out, but if Bix is telling the truth that Bryan defended it more later that's much worse

Hasn't that been a thing with Punk outside of just with women and such though? I'm not looking to debate that, just honestly clarification for my own curiosity?

Thats a narrative against him yeah, but I never really thought he was all that manipulative just a selfish prick personally lol which is more than acceptable in the Wrestling business

yeah I don't really care if they framed it as to why he had heat, I still think it's low as fuck to talk about who people sleep with, that's like the lowest of lowest tabloid shit

Fair enough.

I agree but I do see where if the company legitimately did have heat with him because he was "sleeping and cheating on multiple women" being something okay to report, shouldn't name drop anyone or go further and that's not even really how he worded it so I'm not defending it. There is scenarios where I think it could be relevant but never in like "oh so and so is fucking so and so now" that's not shit I care about

 

[Chris]

"There's concerns that he's focused more on fucking than wrestling" is how I'd have worded it if I was given that information

I get that to a degree but if WWE had heat with him sleeping around while their boy was doing casting couches to hire talent, I just don't see how the relevant story is Punk being a player. I get what you are saying tho

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Saying a wrestler was dangerous around the girls is such a wild thing to say. If that had been said in 2018, he’d probably have been blackballed.

I’d hold no quarter for that man, either. Wild.

There also was legit heat on Punk for some things at the time, Heyman had to fight for his original push. Just seems like baseless speculation on what the heat was, the only concrete thing I think anyone had was his surprise ROH appearance and that fell back on the agent that approved it without asking a higher up, i wanna say it was dreamer

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Kind of sounds like maybe Punk is right and ppl in WWE were out to get him from the get go

 

[Kross Rhodes]

"There's concerns that he's focused more on fucking than wrestling" is how I'd have worded it if I was given that information

Which is a funny headline. I’d have no issue there.
