OR Rene in Gorilla with a Text. OR Paige in the Locker Room with a Fax Machine. Per Wikipedia: Quote The on-air personnel featured on WWE Backstage includes:[11] Hosts Renee Young Booker T Frequent contributors Christian Paige CM Punk Ember Moon Mark Henry Ryan Satin I assume Booker still does some panel stuff for them or whatever. Satin doesn't count as talent. Everyone else is gone. Yes, I am Sherlock Holmes.

But I’m doing my best! Not at all directed at you Octopus. Tony Khan was talking about seeing himself as a bartender and someone who wants to service the fans and the wrestlers, but he talked about having a breaking point when people, including wrestlers, are slamming him publicly. So I'm like saying Tony, it's time to step up and show some leadership here. You can't be a bartender and service these guys anymore. Now you have to be a boss and get this rotting shit under control. 1

Casey Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 9 minutes ago, L_W_P said: Like it or love it, Punks persona will forever be tied to being pushed out of WWE for not wanting to do business their way. At the time we sided with him. We wanted justice for the 'indy darlings'. I’m pretty sure Punk quit WWE, and wasn’t “pushed out”, but go off king. 3
TheVileOne Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 I'm still confused why Hangman's comments are worse than what MJF said about Punk on TV? Like no one batted an eye about what Hangman said a few months ago. 2
Octopus Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Now I’m Frasier! I find it interesting that Punk only took exception to Page when Kingston and MJF practically did the same promo. Armchair psychologist: It’s as if he knows he can cause a fuss at mellow Hangman and not hot tempered Kingston or snake tongue Maxwell. Hmmm. Thoughts, Niles? EDIT: YOU BEAT ME TO IT @TheVileOne!!!

Curt McGirt Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Hey does anyone have a photo of Action Bronson at All Out? Someone on the chat had him looking "svelte" and that sounds interesting. Or wherever he showed up (I guess Hook appeared somewhere?) maybe I can find the footage.
Log Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Pretty sure people are just mixing up Ace Steel with Larry. Damn, man. Some of you all get MAD about shit that happens at other peoples’ work. Chill. Just sit back and enjoy. We don’t have to go in tomorrow and be around any of these people. I love hearing about my friends’ work drama. But, even then, I have to feel bad if my friends are involved. I don’t know any of these people! It’s great! 3

It’s from the pre show hook match he got in the ring for the finish so you should be able to google photos.

Curt McGirt Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Well that wasn't hard. Maybe I should just type something into the bar before the box EDIT: "NOT TONIGHT!" That was dope. All I caught of Zero Hour was King/Ishii so I was in the dark there. Edited September 6, 2022 by Curt McGirt
Cobra Commander Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Clearly the most intelligent way to handle this is a phantom title switch. Unless Tony can talk Punk into letting Adam Page put him in the Anaconda Vice only to screw Punk out of the title.

Casey Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 7 minutes ago, L_W_P said: He and Vince/Hunter clashed over his booking. They told him to do business or walk. It was an ultimatum. Boiling the reason down to why Punk quit to “his booking” is a gross revision of history. And I’ve never seen it mentioned anywhere that he was given an ultimatum to either suck it up, or he can quit. I get the point you’re trying to make but you’re twisting the story from back then to fit into what’s happening right now. 7 1

Dog Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 9 minutes ago, L_W_P said: The point I was making is that his leaving WWE was because of backstage issues related to how he and his friends were booked. How he was booked. Period. He wanted to headline WrestleMania, and they wouldn't let him. I doubt Zack Ryder entered into the conversation. 1

It was an ultimatum. The point I was making is that his leaving WWE was because of backstage issues related to how he and his friends were booked. Now it appears the same issue is coming up in AEW with Khan/Elite subbing in for Vince/Hunter. If it's a work it's a poor one as it makes Punk look like the whiny, unprofessional loser WWE always said he was. If it's a shoot then Punk needs a good slap but I fear the Tony loves the Pipebomb era Punk too much to do anything about it. There's also the staph infection that could've killed him, medical malpractice, and Vince saying "I'll owe ya one, pal" too many times. 8
