CM Punk on The MMA Hour

[Roy Mustang]

fwiw thats kind of what my thinking was too - im in gorilla and i dont have time to deal with this shit right now

I mean, that’s completely fair. It could have happened that way. It’s a big day for him and AEW.

Which is why if Tony is still in his feels about it, I get it.

For the record, I think Perry should be allowed back. I’m not a fire him advocate, but I would get it if Tony isn’t interested anymore.

Tony is probs also fuming at Jack for doing this too but like "I've got bigger shit to worry about right now". I think if the rumours are true and he is still punishing Jack, just let him go. Either fire him for what he did (its not a fireable offense) or stop the punishment

It’s seeming more and more likely like it is true just from Jack seemingly confirming it but I will say that is he’s letting him work at new Japan while I assume he still getting paid from AEW so I think this is Tony‘s way of taking care of him and then when his contract is completely lapsed, he can do what he wants.

I am hoping it's a semi work kinda thing and that he's going to go learn and chill in njpw for a while - esp that its culminating in chicago. that being said, its wrestling and we will prob never truly know until it happens or its over

Could also be Perry using the situation for a work. Honestly wouldn't shock me if he made a reference or a shot at Punk in Chicago this week (which will get him heat so smart thing to do)

confirming it to dave and then using it for an angle - i truly think Meltzer is fully being used in this storyline.

It seems like that’s been happening a lot here lately

I mean, if they wind up working me, I would truly appreciate it. It’s hard being worked in 2024, but I’m thinking with how long it’s going on and how much he’s confirming some things and then also denying other things. I don’t think it’s a work anymore because I don’t really see what the payoff could be at this point. It’s been so long but like I said if he comes back at dynasty or something I would pop.

Pay off is he joins the EVPs

I think I remember pitching that to Jeff a month or so ago but I just don’t know why you would wait this long but like I said I could be wrong.

 

[Smart Marx]

I also don’t think he would necessarily fit anymore though just because they’re going more for a Regal suit type look where as Perry’s got more of a rebel with a cause leather pants type thing going on.

 

[Smart Marx]

With Perry joining HOT I’m thinking he’s not gonna be leaving that company for at least four months.

Waiting for the right time to bring him in. Maybe during a big match to interfere like the... tag team titles versus FTR?

Are they on the opposite sides of the brackets so they could be the finals at dynasty?

There's no rush to bring him back is the other thing - n the njpw ppv in in chi town. I think dynasty is after so him helping them beat ftr for example could be spicy. I also feel if tk was that sour still, he might be telling njpw not to book him behind closed doors. I think it's also telling Jack isn't working any other indies which he should contractually able to, in theory
