I sincerely hope CM Punk leaves AEW soon
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

Dirtsheet writers have you guys in a deep headlock.
Why do you say that? Do you think it’s all a work? If so, it’s some awful fucking WCW 2000 shit and I don’t want to watch it. Or do you think it’s all lies but not a work? If so, cool move by the owner to not comment on it and look like a chump who can’t manage his company. And if that’s the case, I don’t want to watch it. And if it’s real and he’s being that much of a crybaby and attempted bully, which is definitely in line with how he’s been his whole career, then I don’t want to watch.
How the hell do you ever watch wrestling if that's your strict criteria. No AEW, WWE, IMPACT, AJPW, NJPW
But I digress. I say the dirtsheets have most fans and companies in a deep headlock. Because the fans will spend more time discussing a report and basing their opinions on a report that suits their narrative while ignoring others or just straight facts that don't. For example Tony did mention the incident during the media scrum.

This line makes it so obvious.
Lol who said I have a strict criteria for anything? I make decisions based on how I feel about the information I learn about something. There are some companies I don’t watch for other reasons.
But still, to your point of comparing other promotions, what active wrestlers in any other company is being violent with coworkers for something as simple as their feelings are getting hurt while also spreading crummy opinions on other wrestlers that fans love for really good reasons. Most of these wrestlers he’s not in storyline with, so there’s no reason to talk shit, it’s just personal stuff that he can’t be professional about.
What narrative do you think was already in my head? That I didn’t like him already and the reports of these things happening just reinforce that? That’s not the case. The things that have happened since he’s been in AEW is why I feel the way that I do. And are you also pretending that these things didn’t happen just because they were first reported by wrestling journalists?
I didn’t have any preexisting narrative of him in my head. I didn’t know the guy. I quit watching wrestling after the Chris Benoit shit, and didn’t start watching again until well after CM Punk was gone. I had no opinion of the guy until he started wrestling in AEW. I learned about the pipebomb, thought it was awesome. Watched some of his higher rated matches, and while his style wasn’t my favorite, he had really good chemistry with his opponents. So I was interested in seeing him join. I didn’t care for the storylines he was in but whatever the matches were good. Then the dumb shit started and my opinion of him dropped with each thing he said, until All Out when I really didn’t like him. When he came back I lost interest in the show. And now shits just staying the same apparently. So my desire to watch is pretty low.
No reason to be upset that we don’t have the same opinion. Not everyone has to like and dislike the same things.

Ignoring reports that Perry was the instigator, and the elites involvement is pretty telling.
I haven’t seen any reports suggesting that Perry started the physical part of the incident. It doesn’t matter if someone starts arguing with you and asking if you have a problem with them. That doesn’t warrant violence and it’s not excusable just because Punk was sad about what Perry said.
