I have not enjoyed wrestling since he’s been back. All In was the first PPV I didn’t but since AEW started because I am just so unexcited for the show knowing there’s such toxins shit going on. I know I might be in the minority here because people seem to like CM Punk for whatever reason, but he makes omen of my favorite things so much less enjoyable. I only watch stuff when I hear that a specific match was really good now

I was open to Punk when he came back. I know all his WWE problems but he also had a rough deal so when he arrived in AEW I figured ya know what? Fuck it, clean slate, he's back, he seems willing to do the work, let's give it a go.

The second that scrum happened I no longer gave a shit about seeing CM Punk, and every tid-bit that comes out since then of him getting into someone elses face over this and that just add's another nail to the coffin.

Yeah, same. I was in a wrestling hiatus during his WWE run, so I don't really have any strong feelings towards his work. I get he is a big deal for lots of folks. And I do like the fact he doesn't shy away from social causes. But jeezus. I'm still stuck on how upset he apparently got about Hangman's vague dig. Like, unapproved comments are supposed to be a huge part of your career, dude.

I didn't see his ROH or WWE run. He was an unknown wrestler that people, for the most part, spoke highly of. Now I just don't care what he's doing. The locker room crap is unamusing as I've worked with people like that, and it's horrid. His in ring abilities are lacking. His promos aren't bad though, but I just can't be bothered to care about what he's doing.

I was pretty down on Punk since the whole situation with Colt hit, but he won me back after he came to AEW just because he was so good. And then the scrum happened, and I'm firmly in camp fuck that guy.

I've made my feelings clear, but I don't think I ever really explained why I'm anti-Punk.

It's not because of his political or social views, I'm pro-choice, support trans rights, and am a proud member of a labor union.

It's got nothing to do with anything that happened behind closed doors, we'll likely never really know how "Brawl Out" went down.

I'm anti-Punk 100% because of the "gripebomb" at the All Out media scrum. If I had done what Punk did, publicly insult the leadership of the company signing my paychecks, on a stage for all the world to see, I'd have been fired before even getting up out of that damn chair and tossed out with my mouth still full of muffin. But, Punk? That asshole basically got his own show. Proving that we live in different worlds. CM Punk is not my voice, he's a celebrity diva that needs to check his privilege.

If you'd like to hear a similar story, ask me how I feel about Will Smith.

I needed this laugh. Been a rough couple days.

I'm sorry. My doors always open if you need to vent.

I don't know if it'll help but there's a rumour going around saying someone new is gonna join the Bang Bang Gang tonight. Spoiler alert.

Hope that news cheers you up.
