Does Punk have any credibility left? CM Punk is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers and one of the guys that got me back into wrestling, but I hate to say it, I think his credibility has taken some massive hits. CM Punk is not a badass, nor is he a tough man. We've seen that now. Ziggler is a championship wrestler, and could probably kick his ass IRL. Woods wrestled in high school, same. Cody, same. Hell, Daniel Bryan, even with his size difference, looks like he understands grappling and BJJ basics more than Punk. I just have trouble buying that guy as being able to handle people. I know wrestling is fake, but in not seeing most guys actually fight, you can kind of buy into the fact that they'd be able to kick the asses of any number of people. Now I look back at the arguments between Punk and Chris Brown and Punk and Shawn Merriman and wonder "... could those guys take him out actually?" At least Brock and Ronda were champions at one point. Punk got beat by a journalist. It's like if Tyson Fury got his ass kicked by Perez Hilton. I still got love for the guy, but maybe Punk stays out of both wrestling and MMA and focuses on things like comic books, podcasts and... something. Whatever he can do that's non-physical.

​@@tonyclifton2230 You obviously don't understand the quote. He would rather choke on his quest to greatness ( not main eventing) Then be someone who starves in mediocrity, Wrestlers who are happy to just be on the pre show. He would rather fail striving for greatness as opposed to being a big fish in a small pond and being satisfied or complacent with being in the Andre the giant battle royal. Or even worse, being completely ok with never making it to WWE. It is better to fail on the big stage striving for greatness like a WM main event or is it better to succeed as a main event for some small Indy fed ? Even main eventing Wembley Stadium for AEW isn't the same as main eventing WrestleMania. Ask 100 random people on the street to name a wrestling event & 95 will say WrestleMania, 5 will say Royal Rumble, and exactly zero will say All In.

Jack Perry: "I am going to break glass and kick ass." Punk: "No, I don't think you will."

Only Austin can do that haha

46:48 (Posted after footage released.) I think people are forgetting that the only reason Punk went up to Jack to begin with was because Tony Khan wasn’t doing his job properly. Also, from what Punk describes, Jack sounded pissy for no reason. So, although I don’t defend Punk’s actions, I understand his frustrations. Also, the footage has no audio. So for all we know, Jack said something that ticked him off.

Love that Bret Hart is in the background of a CM Punk interview. Very poetic

Some dads were yelling "hey how about the kids??". All the other faces took a lap around the ring to high five kids. We didn't have ringside seats but all the kids ran up to the guardrail during the entrances and after matches. Anyway I never got one of the classic ice cream bars and I regret it. I remember asking my friend how it was and he said "not bad".

I dunno. Punk has an ego issue and I think his inability to reign it in is part of the reason he's seen as a dishonest guy. He's willing to twist the facts just enough to not be a lie, but also not be the full truth. I truly believe his issues in AEW began when his ego was hurt seeing that some other "Indie" guys did what he said he would do. And because he wasn't immediately shown respect by absolutely everyone in the locker room, he took it personally. His ego is the reason everyone around him seemed "like children."

I can't know for sure how they are behind the scenes but there's a lot that just makes me feel sus about it. However I do really like Kenny Omega. I know Kenny is good friends with the Bucks but he has always seemed so much different than them. He seems like a respectable guy who isn't just in it for himself and is a big fan of wrestling as a whole. In all the interviews I've seen him in he seemed very reasonable.
