I believe firing CM Punk was in the best interest of CM Punk. Wrestling is a form of combat entertainment that only works if the wrestlers trust each other. A house divide cannot stand, if Punk wants to be around people with similar interests, then what would AEW have gained holding him hostage?

"The younger AEW talent that don't listen" why listen to a douchebag that would rather throw fists and fight people than talk his issues out like the adult he likes to claim that he is? Not everyone is gonna take your advice. They don't have to if they don't want to. Maybe Punk should understand and deal with it rather than act like a little bitch when he doesn't get his way. And maybe, just maybe, "rumours" wouldn't have been spread about him if he didn't try to get Colt Cabana fired.

At least Danielson didn’t ever fear for his life…. HAD to fire Punk to create a large enough “Safe Space” for Tony K. A Wrestling Historian like T.K. should KNOW it ain’t easy being King…. What would TK have done if he were in the Nailz situation?! Or got Spit on, then Popped in the mouth by Bret Hart?! “This is the business you’ve chosen”,Tony. IF you had a problem with Punk’s POV you should’ve addressed it a Year Earlier at that infamous Media Scrum, YOUR AEW Media Scrum! Your Company will always be Kenny, the Bucks,& Hangman controlling what & WHO goes over… “I’ll take Four Hulk Hogans and a large Sparkling water 💦 with a Lime Twist!”should be your next T-Shirt!

Danielson is right in the way AEW has grown to levels nobody expected it in such a short period of time. It was one on the reasons guys like QT Marshall and Sonny Kis are getting fired or not renewed, all that super indy stuff that AEW was know for in 2019 is almost gone, you no longer see guys like Joey Janela or Marko Stunt getting a contract because they had buzz on the indies or because they were friends with Omega or Cody, now if you watch some of their most resent signings is either a proven main event guy like Edge or a guy that WWE wants like Will Osprey or young wrestlers that clearly had tons of potential like Skye Blue or Billie Starkz Its no longer the 2019 super indy company with 1 weekley show,1 youtube show and 4 PPV´s a year Now in 2023 its a huge company with 3 weekley shows, 5 Tv Specials and 7 PPV´s plus ROH with a weekley show and 4 PPV´s with partnerships with other companies

I think Punk legitimately wanted to be in AEW and help build the company up. However, Punk is a 45 year old man and knows better than to put his hands on someone outside of the scripted performance. I don't blame Bryan Danielson or the committee for letting Punk go and I'm glad that happened to him instead of some "indefinite" thing like what is happening with Jack Perry which I am glad is happening to him. Jack Perry needs to humble himself.

Imagine your company being so badly run that you have the talent/employees in charge of discipline instead of the boss. I love AEW, but as a company they’re VERY badly run!! Tony NEEDS to stop being a friend! It’s okay to be friends with your employees and it’s great that he wants a relationship and wants to care for them. But he needs to find a balance.

Nothing can change unless Tony admits there is a problem. Tony needs real management and bookers. Until Tony treats it like a business and not a personal playground AEW will continue to spiral down a drain.
you're just as smart as those college grads, don't worry.
