Nick:sorry Dave I don't wanna cut you off
Dave 5 secs later:and and and and
that was Nick's attempt to send dave a message and it missed lol
Well he misses most and then usually goes on to say "yeah yeah I knew that you know"
I'm about to hopefully save someone 20 minutes:
Dave: I wanted you on to hear your thoughts.
Nick: Oh, I think Punk may or may not wrestle again someplace and some time in or out of AEW
Dave: Me too!
Bryan: I exist!
😅
If only they'd spent any time on one of the myriad of WWE scandals, we would know the ins and outs of that enterprise and be convinced they were on the brink of collapse.
You forgot something.
Dave: umm, oh, I mean, uuuum, yeak ok ok ok, I mean.... ummmmm
Doing the Lord’s work.
Thank you. Gonna skip.
Dave can never let other people finish a sentence!!
Dave is on such a meta level of interrupting that he even interrupts himself, bravo Dave
Great interview
But I mean, uhhhhmmm, I mean uhmm, that uhhhhh
I like Dave and respect the guy for everything he's done, but he has this habit where he talks over his guests all the time. Nick did not have as much airtime as Dave did. It's a really bad habit, man, and defeats the purpose of having a guest. Let your guests talk! You don't have to jump in for every sentence. Wait for them to finish their point, then comment, but don''t keep interrupting.
dave loves to hear dave talk
Dave definitely has some form of high functioning autism in my opinion. Like he doesn’t pick up on social queues which others would easily pick up on
True
He does that to everybody, it’s annoying for sure
He has severe austism/asbergers and doesn't know social cues.
So weird that these are all
Journalists Punk called out during the scrum that kicked this off. Not sus at all.
The biggest part of this story that's being swept under the rug is how well the elite were able to weaponize their relationship with wrestling "journalists."
Extremely Biased and one sided attack on CM PUNK.
Bryan, if you have guests on you really need to rein Dave in. His interruptions are unbearable.
He’s not going to do that. He gets a paycheck from Dave and he knows Dave is petty.
You would think after all these years Dave would of learned how to conduct a interview. Rule 1 DONT CUT OFF OR INTERUPT YOUR GUEST
dave's rule # 1 control the narrative at all costs
Dave has Asperger's & ADHD clearly
Just don't fucking watch! You know what he's like...
Unless that guest is going to say something you don't want to hear?
He has to interrupt him or Nick might say something positive about Punk, which is clearly against the elite observer rules
Weird that they wouldn’t ask someone that was in the room??????
@The Baddestman non factor? Or just on wrong side? She's a direct eye witness to the account..
@The Baddestman That’s not how a full on thorough investigation works. You ask everyone that was in the room so can get a better understanding of what went on. She was a witness. What’s the point of this investigation going on for nearly 2 months if your not going to talk to any witnesses except a select few? She saw firsthand way more than a lot of other people that got involved by the end of it. You don’t just assume any individual is biased. Not saying she would or wouldn’t be biased. But everyone is innocent in there minds when in these situations. Everyone. Honestly really baffling that they wouldn’t question her at all and get both sides since you know that’s how an investigation is supposed to work lol.
@The Baddestman What neutral parties? Is Brandon Cutler and Nakazawa considered neutral to you? Why question anyone that came in well after it started when nobody witnessed the start of it? She was in there from the start of it. I guess she’s not a witness unless she was swinging her crutch. Like I said it’s been 2 months of this dragging out and you don’t bother asking just cause it’s Ace Steels wife? Not how that works. I hope to God you’re not apart of any law enforcement btw lmfaooo.
@The Baddestman So MJF was more important to get questioned than Ace Steel’s wife who as far as we know witnessed more of everything that unfolded compared to MJF.. Dude cmon. You need to stop getting hung up on who is biased. Everyone gets questioned.
Odd to see Dave not surrounded by the organised chaos of his office
Think they put a few hours into cleaning that shit
This is quite something to listen to.
Dave: Um, ah, well I talked to someone, but it's not someone who you would think, but it was someone who is a real person but nobody has talked to me for months so I don't know anything but I pretty much uh, know everything.
Nick: I also talked to someone but it wasn't someone named CM Punk.
Dave: Yeah, I pretty much know everything but I don't know a whole lot but what I do know is uh, everything.
Nick: I know a whole lot but I never talked to CM Punk who is a really nice guy when he's not screaming at people.
Dave: So, so, so can I talk now? I've reported that before because I knew that.
Nick: I want to eat CM Punk's muffins.
Dave: Thanks for coming on, we've really given the audience a lot of quality information.
Nick: We really have and I just want to say that I love CM Punk, even though I've never talked to him.
Yup, this is the rassling news media! Totally unbiased and no he said she said going on.
I like how he wasn’t talking to the bucks but was talking to the bucks but then didn’t tell him anything but told him something.
This video was hard to watch
Underrated comment. Hilarious
I don't know why but Nick and Dave just decided to turn into the prime time players for a second. Millions of dollars, millions of dollars, millions of dollars.
I read this the moment they did that in the video at the 8:45 ‘ish mark. 😅 💴 💰
Dave gone from "they aren't telling me anything" to "yea I knew that" real fast
Dave is just not a credible source.
@@every1hooked518 He certainty is not!!
@@every1hooked518 bullshit
Yeah this is dishonest. Something isn’t right when you have a whole channel professing to be a newsletter and then being coy about the news.
"I haven't heard anything but from what I've heard..."
"No one is allowed to say anything" but Sunday Dave said "if it were true that Larry were hurt, why didn't he say anything?"
I watch these shows a lot but there's something seriously wrong with this.
Perhaps there's only one or two people breaking the rules and theyre allowed to manipulate the story how they see fit
I imagine there’s two people with the last name Jackson.
@@Barfbagdontsag It's mostly Jericho. This is what he does
Wasnt Kenny trying to move Larry so he doesnt get hurt?
@@phoenixmodellingphotography Jericho is Dave's favourite sieve.
It’s Meltzer lmao. He’s never been unbiased. Since WWE basically said F U, he’s been peddling nonsense from backstage folks for years. He’s not a journalist. Meltzer just preys on wrestling fans’ obsession with “knowing the truth.” He’s a grifter to the max.
They… is Chris Jericho
I feel like Nick was actually interviewing Dave here :D Regardless it was a fun discussion!
Not everyone watched the damn scrum. Not everyone lives on the net. Actually met 5 wrestling fans yesterday at Disney- I had a Punk shirt on. A few said “where’s he been 8 years” and others who said “best in the world” this notion everyone lives on the net is foolish. I bet some people have no clue about the scrum. Food for thought.
Dear god reasonable thoughts. I enjoy AEW more often than not and have been on Punk's "side" about 99% of this, but consider the audience size. AEW's pulling, at best, about 1/3 of what WWE was doing when Punk dropped his initial pipebomb in 2011. AEW's own audience tuned out to a similar 1/3 fraction when Omega came back to team with the Young Bucks. Then all this happened in an already after-hours scrum that primarily rubbed against the egos of the people who weren't exactly soaring AEW to new heights either via media exposure or the product itself.
There just isn't a large enough audience to care that much. If the Elite really try to make this a guilt trip storyline I still say we will hear at least one, "CM Punk," chant in their direction before I am dust in the ground.
@@Guy4318 yeah exactly.
Wtf kinda investigation is that where a witness WHO WAS IN THE ROOM OF THE INCIDENT was never spoken to???
I would imagine it's because she's not contracted to the company, therefore under no obligation to be a part of the investigation. Alternatively she might have been asked and refused, we have no way of knowing.
@@foaly5 it's because there was NO investigation..it was Kahn and the "evps" trying to come up with some dumb story to cover their asses. There was never any mentions of police reports or gag orders. Meltzer did all the talking nothing EVER came from the office of aew
Just here for the people who hate Dave while simultaneously giving him money by watching and commenting
Wrestling marks: THEN NOW FOREVER
I always click on these videos thinking ill be able to walk away with something new but its just Dave talking himself in circles. I really do enjoy Bryan and respect him, because even when I disagree with him, he is clear and direct with what he says and I feel theres no subconcious motive behind what he says. Good charisma that makes you listen to what he says. Its clear and directed. So basically the opposite of Dave.
Which is why in most of these videos with Dave, Bryan speaks maybe 5 sentences over 20 minutes because thats all he needs to communicate a subject.
I understand they need Dave for these clips because he can babble on and on. Turns a five minute conversation into a forty minute conversation, which is good for the algorithim of youtube.
True what Dave said in that point
As a Punk fan it is so heartbreaking that the last memory I have now is the infamous media scrum
Sometimes I watch back 2011 MITB or that Punk return on Rampage to feel better
Your last memory is the best thing he's done.
You're soft.
@@cowpiekiller nope even though I am his fan but I can't stand with what he did, that is not his best at all
In life I have matured enough to realise that scrum rant was very very very very unprofessional
@@cowpiekiller the media scum was the best thing he's ever done? Wat
@@cowpiekiller The best thing he's done is whining like a bitch at a media scrum?
It's not that heartbreaking. He roasted tf out of everyone involved and even called Dave and Bryan out for spreading rumors they knew weren't true. It might have not been in ring, but he left giving everyone a piece of his mind instead of being quietly shuffled off.
lol dang, how many times can we repeat the exact same words/topic over and over lol literally nothing has changed, big fan of the channel...but maaan, again with this story? bringing in a new 3rd to adds nothing to it. wait till something new comes up to talk about this topic again.
I'm pretty much done with AEW. I was so excited about the company when it formed, but it has turned into TNA 2.0. They are doubling doen on the indie goofs and running off all of the serious wrestlers in the company. It is going to fail.
Funny you say indy goof when punk himself is the poster boy for indy wrestlers
This is Stone Cold and Kurgan. Rock and Perry Saturn…
Punk is the top draw, Cabana is a jobber who wouldn’t be noticed if he was let go.
Why are people so up in arms about Cabanas position with Punks arrival. Isn’t this a business?
Tony doesn't need AEW to make a profit.
@@KC-vx5wo if tony keeps doing what he’s doing it never will.
Because he's their friend, and they believe he was treated unfairly. It's not that difficult to understand. How would you feel if you were in a similar situation?
@@foaly5 treated unfairly? He was on tv and no one cared he made tony no money. Your job as an evp is to help your company succeed and make money. I get wanting to help out friends but don’t use other peoples money to do it.
@@Charles-qw5ug I get your point, I was just explaining to op why some of the locker room were upset with how cabana was treated when punk arrived.
I think punk probably wasn't liked in the locker room in general, it wasn't just the elite guys he had issues with.
CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk 🤘
If Tony had the cahones, he would tell the locker room "I'll decide if he comes back next year. If you don't like it, there's the door."
@@k91110 That's not the point. The point is, the untrained cosplayers don't get to make that decision.
@@k91110 he literally did all of that, and the elite hated him for it lol not hard to do a quick Google search, and see all the young serious guys loved him. It was the Jackson's, Jericho, and hangman who disliked him. Omega was trying to be a middle man, because he wants this shit to succeed. Omega, with all his faults, knows he can shine with punk, while the Jackson's are terrified of punk ruining their Little indie spot fest. Push come to shove, Omega will side with his friends, but he was trying to not sink the ship.
@@stevemash7505 Cornette, is that you?
Last time a promoter said "Don't like it, leave", Guerrero, Benoit, Malenko and Saturn jumped ship to WWE
@@andrewparker1622 None of them are Guerrero, Benoit, Malenko, or Saturn. They can't draw a dime on their own, and WWE would turn away most of them. Even the ones they take won't make the money they're making at AEW for being careless. So rest assured, if given that ultimatum, they're not going anywhere.
Just a reminder RE Jericho's "cancer" comment, in 2014 Punk snubbed Jericho because he didn't trust him and openly stated he refused to talk to a guy who would turn round and discuss it on his podcast to get clout. There's been bad blood for YEARS. Punk has had him pegged as a clout chasing idiot for years
I heard Jericho once ate at a McDonald’s that Colt Cabana had eaten at at some other time.
First you are believing second hand reports about what Jericho said to Punk. Second, even if it's true, if at this point you can't figure out Punk is a piece of shit that's on you.
There’s tons of stories of Jericho being a bit of a snake in the grass
@@Charles-qw5ug no one looks worse from this whole situation than Tony imo
@@KC-vx5wo I agree with that 100%
Well we know FTR, and Power House Hobbs, Darbi, Sting didnt vote him off. We csn guess its hangman and jericho smh.
How do you know? Because he was nice to them in the past?
@@vsandhu84 Punk was a good leader to the young guys. Daniel Garcia, The Acclaimed, Lee Moriarty, and Wardlow have praised Punk for helping them backstage
@@Baraka_Obama_ I don't disagree - but I could also see some of them getting annoyed by the remarks that no one in the company has never done anything. I love CM punk but he is old enough to understand how to stop this stuff before being wreckless. I wish we saw heel punk on tv.
No wonder they aren't featured much at all because the Evp children and Hangnail felt betrayed.
@@vsandhu84 I’m sure punk did not say that but ok.
If you were to believe their reports over the last week, you would think Punk is 99% done.
But because of Nick's line of questioning, here Dave and Bryan are now clarifying that he is injured and absolutely nothing is concrete.
It's almost like they were trying to drive the narrative.
They are just trying cover all their bases and both say well he won be back, but never say never, maybe he will.
Jesus Christ hey Alvarez mute Dave’s mic when the guest is talking.
'On the streets it was weird!' 😂
Dave really loves the sound of his voice. Stop interrupting everyone damn…
I really can't take Dave seriously - he really seems to have no idea what he's talking about while trying to seem like he actually does.
That he has no idea how to conduct an interview in this video is really suspect to me considering his supposed experience as a journalist.
But mostly his story just doesn't make sense and considering he's obviously having sources from only one side...
Punk is no saint and he's most definitely not been innocent on that day but Dave's reporting makes it seem like he's the sole instigator.
He was injured, in a room with his dog and his friends wife and was outnumbered at least 3 to 1.
It's almost guaranteed that the EVPs were just as much or even more at fault in that situation.
If Triple H and Punk can put aside any animosity towards each other it could be a good deal for WWE to have Punk back.
Cm Punk! cm Punk! Cm punk! Cm punk!
Never again!!!😂
Punk went off while calmly eating a muffin, then fired on an EVP. This guy is a legend. He did something that will never be forgotten. He couldn't go out any better than that.
I think plenty of people would completely disagree with your assessment. I have lost a lot of respect for punk after this.
Yeah you had a interaction with Jericho who just put himself over big time because no he is the biggest star again, at least in his head
Dave is the best at kicking out with the way he can never let anyone finish lol
someone once pointed out that Dave never really finishes a complete sentence without starting another sentence first. For years i have not unheard this.
Its like that SNL skit.
dave making sure to keep cutting Nick off in case he makes the evps look bad lol
Exactly
No doubt. He cut off that "People do like Punk backstage" comment quick.
@@natew1639 Sure did. Cause his channel is for the young bucks and AEW and they ain’t on punks side or trying to be neutral.
So ridiculous that this entire issue stems from gossip about COLT CABANA of all people, and his job security in ‘All Friends Wrestling’…
I hate to say it, but once again the main person at fault here is Tony Khan with his inept leadership. He may like to give himself all of the job titles in the world, but his leadership is sorely lacking in that company.
The moment that there were ANY rumblings in his locker room about CM Punk wanting Cabana gone, TK should have nipped that in the bud.
Instead, there had to be Wrestling Observer stories about Nick Buck ‘saving’ Cabana’s job. Then there was Page’s weird promo before Double or Nothing. All of this ridiculous internet wrestling gossip and twittering brewing. Apparently Punk mentioned things to Tony, but clearly nothing was ever resolved between the parties involved. Was it even attempted? Then Punk went on a live mic and fired back at Hangman. And STILL things were not worked out behind the scenes before All Out… Clearly there were some serious issues, anybody watching the TV could see that.
Tony Khan tried to pretend the issues weren’t there, and wanted to stay on everybody’s good side, until it all blew up in his face. Multiple times.
Now he’s just going to keep listening to whoever kisses his ass the Best.
He truly is turning his company into WCW 2.0; just like he always wanted, I suppose 🤷🏻♂️
I don't expect AEW to make a statement at any point in the foreseeable future. Their EVPs went into the locker room of the top star in the company and instigated a physical altercation. This issue had been brewing for months without being properly addressed. Punk has grounds to run AEW out of business if he wants to.
I agree but the Elite has Dave and these goons full on in their back pocket....Hell Dave is largely responsible for everything kicking off.
"Nobody has been allowed to talk" Then how do you know anything about the situation? You "wrestling journalists" are shooting yourself in the foot. "Just trust me" is not a valid source.
How is the GCW and wwe collaboration coming along Dave?😂😂😂
“He wanted to do it.” …… Multiple times during it he said “I regret that I have to do this because of what you all keep reporting.” Punk : “I’m sorry I’m snippy, I’m hurt and I’m tired and I’m old and I work with fucking children.” Dear God the spin they are putting on this. The man had a torn triceps not sure you’d be in a good mood with that and pretty sure it’d get worse with a bunch of goons showing up at your door lol.
Punks speech was premeditated and he still went psycho in the lockerroom. The elite reacted on the fly and had the presence of mind and professionalism to bring head of legal and talent with them. Ffs Stop riding punks dick.
Punk is that dude that tells someone to come see him if they have a problem with him after he cusses them out but then is surprised that they're not so civil when they come and see him. Like what did Phil expect to happen, a friendly knock on his door and asking him asking permission to step into his locker room?
But, like, if that happened, did he not have the right to defend himself. The Elite/Uncle Dave narrative seems to be they just came round for a polite chat and to play with his dog. I'm not really defending Punk, but you can't have it both ways.
@@inlimboed91 they may have, but it’s doubtful. However, Punk was a madman during the scrum, his eyes were practically popping out, so I don’t think there was any talking to him.
Exactly. Try that with a Steiner back in the day. Cya in hospital.
I don't think he really cared about the consequences- he just wanted to vent, if it lead to a fight so be it, I think he was actually expecting a fight & was caught off guard that he's been portrayed as the agressor. In his mind, the moment they shoved the door open, the fight was on.
I'm also confused why Meltzer & Alvarez think Punk would've been in a good mood after he vented? Sure, there was some relief after he'd vented & released that pressure that's been on his cheast, he was very obviously clearly disgruntled to have started that tangent to begin with & in his mind, they were largely responsible for fostering & potentially spreading those rumours when he feels they should've been making it clear that it was Tony's decision, not Punk's.
At that point, while the Elite definitely needed to have a word with him, it was clear how bad of a decision it was for all 3 to storm into his private quarters. Someone unrelated to Punk's accusations needed to mediate that straight away- or the Elite should've waited for Punk to cool down & actually knock on the door.
What? Punk threw the first punch. It sounds like he was EXACTLY ready and not at all surprised.
Dave knew nothing like 3days ago and now he knows everything😂plus how van you investigate without talking to the people in the actual room, they won't say anything casue it is Embarrassing af and makes Mr booker of the year Tony even more like a joke
Good thing Vince was able to keep Bret/Shawn in line in 1997....Oh wait
Dave says several times in this that they’ve not been telling him things. Why are you lying?
They atleast wnet did business and as far as I know drew their biggest numbers of the year of, too bad aew isn't an actual wrestling company it's just some nerd playing with his toys deciding who to wrestle when, your fucking dweeb
@@user-ib2cl1zu3r Because no one actually believes that.
Uncle Dave was QUICK to silence this man. Dave knew there was gonna be pressure from Nick.
Tony Con choosing to be on the EVP's (the instigators) side over Punk lost all credibility to me. It seems like if you're not friends with the EVP's or are more over than them, the EVP's will do all they can to get you out of the company.
EVPs are boring on tv and seem like tools.
What a dumb take. It's fine if you like Punk. Whatever, but you're insane. Punk went hard talking shit about people, invited them to come see him, and threw the first punch. Making excuses for that is just you being a blind fanboy.
I would own a wrestling company first then make that decision..
@@Danielson1818 That's what I think about your reply. Con doesn't have the balls to run his company. It's obvious the EVP's are the ones who run the show. They chased out Cody Rhodes and now CM Punk-future Hall of Fame talents.
@@AceLopez1 either you're a Jim Cornette Mark or you work backstage.... I'm guessing you're just parroting Jim Cornette like everybody else does
My guy saying punk isn't a rating draw, then the bucks and omega are ratings repellents😂😂doofus
Did Colt Cabana get a pay cut because he got moved to ROH? I don’t understand what the issue was for the locker room. He wasn’t having the run of a lifetime on AEW or anything before Punk got there. Cabana was like the fifth man down the totem pole in the Dark Order which is a mid-card group.
He's been friends with everyone for years and is apparently very popular backstage. Seems like a great guy to have around for others morale even if his own TV time is minimal. Punk coming in and Cabana leaving is like replacing a radiator with a vacuum.
To keep it simple, he's nothing but a jobber who only got to where he is because he leeched of Punk's name.
@@supertarantatikataka3313 ; The only problem is, now he’s getting paid just to hang out in the locker room with his friends. AEW already has enough paid entourage with Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa. It was time for Cabana to go the way of Joey Janela and Marco Stunt.
Colt meant nothing to aew tv and tony was going to just let his contract expire but the evp’s convinced tony to resign him and move him to roh. And colt has done nothing in roh either. He may be liked backstage but he ain’t backstage anymore so tony just trew away money because of the evp’s. I can’t understand how that’s good business but it ain’t my company or money.
@@Charles-qw5ug source? 😂
lmao Meltzer cut him off real quick when he started talking about Cody problems with the Elite
Yep. That’s the whole problem with this whole thing. Dirt sheet guys being biased claiming that they speak the truth. It’s bullshit
could he tell on himself any more than he does in literally every one of these my god
@@cyrusjones3469 Yeah. He claims to not know anything and in seconds says he knows everything.
You mean the problems that Cody specifically called out as untrue?
@@andrewparker1622 yeah the very same -- wow, how convenient of Cody to claim that ...
It’s just dumb. The biggest money maker for the company and the little kids are too insecure to work with him.
This is very bad for AEW. But it might be for the best. It honestly sounds like the AEW locker room wants nothing to do with him. It's not just the elite that want him gone. It's a shame though, because he honestly had the best 12 months probably in wrestling history
LOL you literally have it backwards 😅 Phil’s the one who melted down over a throwaway comment by Hangman. 😂😂 and Punks salary likely outweighed the measly 100k at gates and TV he brought in.
And BTW, Hangman v Omega PPV still outsold the ones Punk headlined. Jericho also reportedly hates the guy. Doesn’t take much to find him, Cody, Booker T and others shooting on what a tool he really was.
Lol, he was ok, his matches were ok, he was semi good on the mic. They’ll be better off w/out him
Seemed like Punk was the "little kid"
Yeah I'm sure everyone there that doesn't want to work with him is 'insecure' 🙄
Feel free to disagree but I don't think it's a big enough beef to be blown this far out of proportion. This story is far more media speculation and rumor innuendo. One of the biggest facts is CM Punk is injured and out for 5-6 months. All the rest of it is playground drama. One thing that does stand out is Jim Ross keeps reiterating the phrase "Personal issues draw more money than titles."
maybe they're building to jericho vs. punk for the roh title with real "heat"
Can Dave do an interview and not interrupt everyone? Dude doesn't let anyone get their thoughts out before he jumps in.
No, he is physically unable.
no, Hausman also told Dave about Punk reaching out to him in confidence and Dave told the whole world about it immediately. So there's also that
Why is dave on the casting couch
Wow! This whole story puts high school drama to shame. Grown adult men that are in their 30s dealing with drama that all it took was just them talking amongst themselves and a boss that either didn't have the whereabouts or the spine to make sure that his stop stars were on the same page and there was no lingering issues. I'm not a AW hater and I'm not a WWE super fan boy. I'm just a wrestling fan and this just makes me roll my eyes that they're going to let go. The biggest draw that they've ever had in that company over a year and didn't get much out of him other than super spurts of success.
What a bunch of gossip girl, sewing circle drama. You guys banter line high-school girls at the cafeteria.
"Millions of dollars"
Dave: "Millions Of Dollars yes!"
Nick:"Millions of Dollars!"
Dave: MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!! YES!!
what a knucklehead.
Still so weird seeing Dave in the flesh
He's jacked
"I'm getting getting getting alittle echo echo echo over here here here, it's fine "
No. No it wasn't. I felt like this is exactly the kinda thing that woulda sent Kermit the frog into a freak out on the old Muppet show.
So chris Jericho is a big survivor fan. 🤔
If no one is allowed to talk about it, why are even having a conversation about it?
Because F4W has bills to pay, and "AEW in diSArrAy" stories are best for business, it seems
Killer new episode with Nick Hausman talking Brawl Out & more here: ruclips.net/video/eHGWKxMAKoM/видео.html
If they truly want this behind them, they’ll have to lift the gag order. People are too curious to let it go. It makes sense to keep people quiet while tempers are hot because you don’t want people to say something stupid in anger, but at some point the silence does more damage than good.
Dirtsheets won't let it lie regardless
@@originalrkmorton you’re probably right. People love the drama.
This whole video "I Don't KNOW" but let's make 20 click bait videos and milk it til the cow come home 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
No punk. No AEW. 👎 Hello again, WWE.
Dave is the biggest mark of all. This show is the worst in the IWC
Someone buy Dave a mic stand ffs
Holding it is such a Meltzer move
It was always safe to assume these guys were talking out of their ass but now it’s for a different reason. Obviously framing the narrative in favor of their buddies is a serious hit to any credibility they had with me to begin with.
I thought their credibility was shot when they applaud during those media scrums.
Finally a bit of balance
Why would you not speak to ALL parties in the room? This is so biased and slanted Stevie wonder can see what’s going on.
Dave, STOP INTERRUPTING HIM!!!
Even Baghdad Bob thinks that Nick Hausman was trying too hard to put on a good PR spin for Punk.
There's two things Punk hasn't had yet which I think would be attractive for him to go back to WWE. 1) Main event at Mania. The true Main event-- last match, 2nd night. 2) Hall of Fame. I think a short term/part-time deal is something that would make a lot of sense on both sides.
That would work, they’d only have to deal with him for two nights.
No one wants in AEW. 👇
People wanted him back in WWE.
The major leagues. Not in that third rate company called AEW.
@@TheMrAlgoh that piss-ant company AEW
It makes the most sense imo a wrestlemania main event is the thing he coverted his entire career. If cody gets the belts I imagine he would push for it aswell. Part time contract big dollars he can still do acting work. Can probably negotiate a new job for his buddy ace steel write some wrongs and finish his career on his own terms.
Nick what did Punk have for lunch yesterday? Sounds like he’s talking’ from way up there he should know.
I'm with Dave, nobody is going to remember his last match, they will remember everything after. People saw the match. Nobody saw the fight, so that's what they care about right now.
I wish the match was the last memory in AEW. It isn't. Now you can't say he went out on top. You have to say they paid him to leave because working with him was impossible. He might sign with WWE just to keep that from being his last memory in wrestling. And I wouldn't blame him if he did. I don't know how well it would go, and they don't actually need him, but if his motivation was to fix his image, I'd support that. It would really suck if he came back to wrestling for it to end like this. It would suck for anyone.
WWE has no reason whatsoever to sign him.
He’ll go back there and be impossible to work with too. Seems like that’s the case with Phil wherever he goes.
@@chriskay1449 they have MANY reasons. The question is, is it worth dealing with him?
@@SSJFutureGohan62093 They do not have any. In fact, they have a ton of reasons NOT to.
@@chriskay1449 They have millions of reasons. If you don’t see it that’s a real problem.
I won’t believe Punk is leaving till he or Tony confirm it themselves. This is just belief rather than factual stuff right now, so I would take this with a grain of salt, first it was reported that Punk was gonna have a buyout and those talks stalled due to a non complete clause, so is he leaving or what?? Every week these dirtsheet writers will say he’s gonna leave but then those rumors stall and nothing comes out of it. So we really shouldn’t depend on getting answers from reporters until we get a clear one from either Tony or Punk. But then again Tony made it clear that he’s not gonna answer anything regarding Punk so in reality we really don’t know what’s up with Punk right now on whether or not he’s coming back. No matter how much these Journalists pretend to know everything.
Great interview
Dave has all the info google has.
He depends on jobbers from a company to give him info often just opinion or 2nd, 3rd, 4th hand info.
This is entertainment guys and girls.. probably alot of trans watching.
And JUST CAN NOT finish a sentence
Nothing makes you appreciate Bryan's presenting mediocrity than being in a video with Dave and this other lad.
Bryan is an excellent presenter.
Dave says alot about absolutely nothing
It’s hard to believe that with the amount of money at stake there won’t be a Kenny Omega vs CM Punk match
@AEW Women’s Division Blog
True but then the question is who would be willing enough to take the L in that feud. They both clearly don’t like each other so getting one of them to agree to lose to the other would be difficult
luckily TK doesn't need AEW to make money lol
@@princeleo8803 I actually don’t think punk has much of an issue with Kenny I think it’s more the bucks and hangman.
im glad as a wrestling fan that these guys were able to help there mates in AEW to get rid of Punk so that Omega & the Bucks can feel better about their lack of crowd reaction they been receiving
But they reacted so well when the crowd chanted FTR during their promo lol
@@KC-vx5wo lol wonder how there going to react when they get cm punk chants also
@@Charles-qw5ug do you think they'll get any? He just seems so hated by the "elite" fanbase. It'll be hilarious but I doubt it'll happen.
@@KC-vx5wo I’m not sure the elite have much of a fan base considering the ratings drop when they were on tv. And if fans are going to chant ftr at them I think it’s highly likely the punk chants are coming
Nick Hausman looks like he could be Super Humman’s big brother.
he looks like mr. beast
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Go main event wrestlemania punk. That’s what I would do if I was both punk or hhh other than The Rock, no one bigger at the moment.
Very nice, very journalist
Why does Uncle Dave not have a proper setup and has to hold a microphone? 🤔
I am really having a hard time handling Dave's rambling and interruptions
I used to disagree with the opinion about cmpunk going to wwe but that last part in the video about hhh and punk wanting to prove that they can work with people they don't like is a good idea
He smiled and left... and never has that led to a catastrophe afterwards, ever... never ever....
Might as well have said,"watch this!"
It’s not suspicious to not question the eye witness at the time of a fight
It’s perfectly logical for a investigation not to ask what the eye witness saw
Punks ego is way too big, and he's way to immature to be professional.
Too much negativity, and a cancer in the locker room, as jericho said.
He will be trashing aew just like he did with wwe. Hey punk!!.. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!
Dave go on Keeping it 100 with Konnan. It would be a great show
They are super bias towards AEW & Disco sucks..
Oh please like Dave Meltzer of all people isn't biased😂😂😂😂
@@blackjack23able konnans cool , disco is the old uncle who thinks he's cool lmfao
So much stuff is just pure speculation here. Serious fantasty waffle.
Could someone tell Dave to not interrupt his guest!
If he’s gonna be interrupting the guest why have them on in the first place!?
I’m a fan of both companies. The more wrestling the better. So many talented guys in the world at this stuff and we should all be grateful we get to see all of it.
That said, it’s very clear to see what side Dave is on. It’s a shame that somebody with as much clout and notoriety in the business, has a clear bias and agenda towards one side. I’ve always heard he favors AEW over WWE and just kind of shrugged it off but seeing him very obviously taking the young bucks/Omega’s side over punk is sad
Ever since the Cody saga earlier this year, F4W and most other outlets, dirtsheets have fomented these "AEW in disarray" stories, despite the thought that more wrestling companies would lead to better business for them. I hypothesize business is down, and their actively trying to work the news and rumors to depress AEW success, and eventually position WWE as the overbearing dominant force it was in years prior. Then F4W can reclaim its "oppositional voice" status, and in theory its views and revenue.
Happening in the news media surrounding other real world elements, wouldn't surprise me if this is what's happening here.
Punk only got hurt in 1 match... so how would he be injury prone? his own stupidity is what did him in on his first injury with his foot.
Dave "but you may know better than me on this..."
Nick "well-"
Dave "but thats what..."
