its more that there's no way Punk will want to go back to that environment. I think he was only considering it when Hunter was running shit because things were relatively chill

I both feel horrible for WWE fans wh ore-invested, but ngl, also incredibly validated I didn't fall for it

I was liking what I was reading about WWE for a hot minute. I only wanted to wait to see if they could maintain it, but even before this the Stephanie being forced out thing and Vince coming back killed my interest. This is just the last step of what that started.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I never gave much stock into the HHH/Punk not liking each other because Hunter is cut from the same cloth as Vinny

Oh true. I don’t think he’d have ever wanted to, but especially not now.

I think, at the end of the day, it was more of a bargaining chip in Punks pocket, regardless if it was a bluff. now, I think TK has a lot more of the power because he can just say fine and call his bluff without half the worry. The big thing too was AEW was cold, WWE was super hot so Punk did legit have some leverage that if he left and went to give WWE even more heat, it would really hamper AEW

 

[Comrade Khan]

now? not so much. and before we go further into it, I still hope they work it out

 

[Smart Marx]

I just want Punk back in AEW, though. Omega was being chill about it. That’s the match I wanted all the way back in 2021. People kept saying be patient. I just want that match before Punk retires for good!

 

[Comrade Khan]

in fact, seeing Vince back in charge might be like...""hmm mb tony isnt so bad and we can mb work it out lol"

Punk gotta delete social media and he would be like ...80% happier imo

 

[Smart Marx]

I think a lot of wrestlers would too

I think a lot of wrestlers would too

their egos cant take it, full stop

 

[Comrade Khan]

cant say I even blame any of them, its a fucking cesspool lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

I do think going back to Punk, there needs to be assurances and steps taken however, for him not to go off the rails and poison the well again. and that goes for anyone thats disturbing the peace backstage really

 

[Comrade Khan]

if him coming back is what they wanna do. I wont blame them if they cut their losses. I just still holding out maturity will eventually win
