It's like firing Austin so the Oddities have a comfortable workplace.
It's like firing Cena to make the Spirit Squad happy.
It’s like dumping Rock just to make CM Trump happy
Be quiet donkey @@PhillyLeotardo25
@@PhillyLeotardo25you mean the Rock who cockteased the company for years, and whom the company would easily bend over to appease if he said the word? The same Rock who loves talking about going back but somehow refuses to sit down and put pen to paper?
@@PhillyLeotardo25 you must be an AEW mark to have a comment this mentally deficient.
🙄🙄🙄Bravo 👏👏that's quite the clever comment. @@PhillyLeotardo25
WWE needs to put out a shirt that reads "CM Punk, saving the business". And on the back " With Cause"😂😂
LMAO I woke up my neighbor laughing at this! WITH CAUSE
Take my money 💴 😂😂
It was widely reported that the network absolutely loved Cody when he was in AEW. Then it was also widely reported that Warner gave AEW a time slot for a whole new show to keep Punk on their channel. So people acting like Warner wouldn’t be interested in Raw(especially with both Cody and Punk on that show), they are inhaling whole worlds supply of copium
Cody was the actual negotiator. The adult in the room.
@@natebaxter9551 found the copium huffer.
Aew fans are mental. They love "the narrative" of behind the scenes stuff more than actual wrestling. As soon as Cody had one bad angle they were all OMG HE'S THE NEW TRIPLE H IT'S THE REIGN OF TERROR HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED.
Dude went through a flaming table on a random episode of Dynamite and they still questioned his intentions.
😮💨................. @@natebaxter9551 damn!
@@TheRealAhoy yeah Cody was an absolute professional to the bitter end in AEW. His last match with Sammy was one of the best ladder matches I’ve seen in a while. That springboard cutter and ladder spot they did were beautiful. Cody put his body on the line for those fans and they turned on him big time, long before he even left. Sad really
this is the perfect time for Tony to say "my life is in danger"
😂
“Danger. Danger, Will TonyKhabinson.”
I'm in danger 🥲
With his eyes bulging as if on coke
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tony Khan has got to be regretting giving the Young Bucks VP positions. That decision may has ruined their company. Ironically, Cornette told him that was a mistake
No no no. What’s ironic is that aew fans will still deny everything. Lmao
You shouldn’t be giving active wrestlers positions of legitimate authority and power in your company, especially VP positions. At that point, they’ve stopped being one of the boys.
There's no way that coked up doofus is smart enough to realize it was a mistake, much less to regret it.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks are still VPs to this day, that they weren't removed at all, it's a permanent position they hold. Hell, they could be writing Dynamite all this while.
@@brendandenamadrai5353this popped me lol
I’m so glad to see Punk being recognised and respected as the legitimate mainstream star that he is, especially after the elite tried to ruin his career with a failed smear campaign.
Harley Race would be proud
I think the smear campaign backfired. Instead, it made Punk even MORE of a star. Added to his aura of controversy and speaking out whenever he sees something messed up. And then he walked into Chicago at Survivor Series and transcended into his final form: CM Punk, MEGASTAR.
Funny how Meltzer and his ilk were making videos about "this is the end of Punk"
You don't like Punk, fine...but having a satisfying grin while someone's legacy is getting tarnished is exactly why AEW is niche even Tiny spending over $200 mil a year on it. It's a promotion for small amount of fans who hate WWE in 2023.
They hurt their own company with pointless envy. Now Punk might come and take their TV deal.
Karma is beautiful sometimes. Hopefully WWE picks up the few talented individuals that are stuck in AEW when that time comes.
@Jeff_Pryce LMAO, yep it backfired big time. It not only gave Punk more promotion, but it turned people who otherwise didn't care about The Elite against them, and I'm one of them.
Joey Mercury once said that CM Punk is the absolute best of people to be around....unless you cross him. Then he's like a shark who smells blood and goes complete cut throat to end you. Welp. That victory lap was the moment he decided to end them. Good job EEE VEE PEES
Sounds like a sociopath. But I'm a fan of Phil so I'm excited to see what he'll do in wwe
@@aic8001he’s not a sociopath he just doesn’t let shit slide
Good, the Bucks brand of wrestling has to die.
@@aic8001 not a sociopath man, he's not beating people up, Unless they enter his personal space. You know who was sociopath, new jack. That guy literally threw another guy, after tasing him, over a botched spot. CM punk just likes to keep it even
Punk lives by a very simple code: respect begets respect. If you’re nice to him and respectful, you’ve got yourself a friend. If you disrespect him, he will treat you in kind and probably worse.
Don’t poke the bear.
Brian, never stop with the Moxley, Franklin Rollins, Hannibal, and now AEW Fan impressions.
AEW fans panicking on Twitter now typing speeches about how it's shitty for people to want AEW to fail 😂😂😂
NOBODY IS PRAYING FOR THEM TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY'RE JUST DOING A DAMN GOOD JOB OF DOING IT THEMSELVES AND WE'RE JUST LAUGHING AT IT.
I've been actively wanting them to go out of business since about 6 months after the company started.
I’ll say it: I hope AEW does fail. I don’t have to be nice to people I don’t like. They aren’t my moral superiors (like they think they are) and have zero authority over me. Whether I’m a “bad perthon” or not isn’t up to them.
Most of us have been saying that TK "needs a booker" everyone from Cornette, Booker T, Bischoff etc, we've been saying it for 3 years now, but to no avail, he refused to listen to any serious feedback and here we are.
@@WyattHollidayThey're hypocrites. They literally react the same way if the shoe was on the other foot. Anyone claiming otherwise is full of 💩.
@@anonymousbo0318 Absolutely!
"Tony Khan could've been the savior of wrestling..."
For me, that's the saddest part of all of this. Tony was handed all the tools needed to take over the industry and become the number 1 brand. And he kept getting advantage after advantage, only to squander virtually all of them.
But he wanted to do sports entertainment
Every major wrestling company has been shit for years, WCW was amazing in the early to mid 90's, WWF/E was the best from 1997 to 2003, and TNA was excellent from 2006 through 2010. But in general I'd say that after 2003 or 2004 pro wrestling was no longer what it once was and the death of kayfabe with the rise of social media was the final nail in the coffin.
Doubt we will ever see anything like the Monday Night Wars ever again. I used to flip channels back and forth all the time as a teenager between Raw and Nitro and the best of the best wrestled for both companies back then. The competition and rosters were unmatched and it was just must watch television.
I turn on RAW these days and it's all just stupid for the most part with 3 minute matches, retarded promos, and forever champions.
Not sure how to fix it though, booking has a lot to do with it and has been lacking for a long time and the writing is just facepalm material. Doubt Punk's washed-up ass will do anything to change it either.
😂 🤡
No chance he would ever be number 1
I’m old enough to remember when WCW folded. At the time it was a lot of fun and full of possibilities, but just 6 months later we were treated with a wet fart of an InVasion and it ended horribly.
People that are celebrating AEW’s fate now, will be crying once WWE reverts to autopilot mode.
Uncle Dave is a super mark. He's also the only company shill in the world that doesn't get paid.
hes the biggest wrestling mark the industry has ever scene or will see
I think he's on payroll
Uncle Dave is the OG that shares a bank account with his mom. Hence why he sided with Colt Cabana so strongly. It hits personal to him.
@@rofbagging9749 but sharing back accounts with parents is a good idea so that nobody pays inheritance taxes if anybody dies.
Lol😂@@rofbagging9749
Brian impersonating all the Cucamonga Kids fans and Punk haters has me in tears. Its hilariously accurate. I want a section of the show where the Great Brian Last just impersonates the wrestlers who have been in the news that week.
AEW losing their TV deal because of Colt Cabana and Jungle Boy’s fetish for real glass would be the greatest practical joke in the history of the industry.
Don't forget the bromance of hangman and colt
I feel bad for Colt in this whole situation. Guy has been relatively quiet on everything, he's basically been a pawn between Punk and the Elite.
Why would feel bad for a nobody like Colt?? A lot of people don't know him till punk said his name on the pip pump promo@@geneanthony3421
"But imagine how the numbers will tilt in AEW's favor when Jack Perry takes off his devil mask!" Tony to Warner Discovery
The “Chicago Chicago Chicago” guy would draw more than Half the AEW roster
😢
He definitely did
He’s definitely been viewed by more people than any of the AEW roster 😅😅
I'd buy that for a dollar 💵💲 🤑
That’s the whole gospel truth.
So the bucks finally did it, they are literally killing the business
Self fulfilling prophecy
Modern-day Outsiders.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 sir give yourself a medal, that comment is ALL ELITE
Not sure about killing the business, cuz business is booming for WWE, but they're definitely killing AEW
The reverse NWO. 😂
WWE doing a deal with WBD and Punk (and Cody) being a big part of it happening would be like the ultimate middle finger from Punk to Tony Khan, The Elite, Adam Page, and Perry. It would be like a team getting rid of a player before that player signs with a new team and wins the championship the same year while the previous team that got rid of him never even makes the playoffs again.
The Cult of Meat with EXTRA CHEEEEEEEEEESE
I’ve waked up several times singing it in my head with Jim’s voice! 😂
W.W.E. and Punk showed they're willing to do whatever it takes to make good and big business happen.
A.E.W. and T.K. have demonstrated they'll do whatever they want because they're largely not motivated by business.
""It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em."
Maybe but Punk has serious anger not including his mental health issues he's a ticking time bomb s*** is going to hit the fan
@@justinmichaels7856you praying on his downfall so hard makes me want punk to succeed even more
@@justinmichaels7856 When he main events Wrestlemania and is making his Hall of Fame speech, you guys are going to absolutely lose your minds. And I’m HERE for it. 😂😂😂😂
@justinmichaels7856 lol you've said this in literally 15 different comment threads for this one video. Touch grass Susan
@@justinmichaels7856
I didn't realize we had close and personal acquaintences of Punk here in the comments section; Cool!
And you know this for certain? Eh, maybe, or maybe not... He had a working relationship with W.W.E. Backstage and Fox Sports 1 without issue as far as we know and that same thing carries over to various film, and t.v. appearances and his role doing commentary for M.M.A. which is the whole reason for him having a good relationship with T.K.O. in the first place, following and including his short stint in the U.F.C... With no infamous blow ups to speak of that I'm aware of...
I imagine, as long as a string of mid card talent aren't habitually trying to throw Punk under the bus with the dirt sheets, or provoke Punk into a shoot on live t.v, or refuse to lose to him without squashing him first.... Or shoot-dunk on him during P.P.V.'s *and all without* the direct intervention of administrative leadership getting a handle on the situation or it's talent.... Then, Punk's shelf-life at W.W.E. is probably going to be a good bit longer than it was at A.E.W... Which... Don't underestimate Punk's pettiness... I wouldn't be surprised to see him on good bahavior just for the sake of making it work out of spite. All that said, Trips and W.W.E. as a whole, have a much tighter leash on their talent and how that talent interacts inside and outside of the ring, and/or are more prone to enforce consequences for poor behavior whether that would be from Punk, or from youngsters and no-draws trying to cut the wind out of his sails.
And if the s*** *does* hit the fan, then that will be entertaining to.
I’m loving the debut of Brian lasts’s AEW Twitter mark voice lol
So now we have the Evidance and the data, can we now call CM Punk a needle mover?
Tony Kahn always caught Punk a needle mover but the WWE marks didn't because he was in Aew 🙄 what a load of hypocrites just like Punk
@justinmichaels7856 🪞
Just like you too, Justin. You keep pushing that now exposed and debunked Elite narrative and continue to look as stupid as Trump does daily.
We should call him the Demo God just to piss Jericho off.
@justinmichaels7856 The irony of this post with AEW stans who were defending Punk as a needle mover started changing their tune as soon as TYBs got beat up by a one armed Punk at All Out. Oh the sweet sweet irony 😅
I split a rib laughing at Brian's AEW fan impersonation!
It's funny the fat man is a good WWE employee 💯
I'm dying! 😂😂🤣
Aew fans are cancer 😂
*HE'S EVIL. AND MEAN.* 😂😂😂
And Last has the nerve to say JC's singing is horrible.
"Don't you bring Larry into this!"
With Brian talking like angry scolded puppets made my week.
Thank YOU.
I'm old enough to remember when the old sell line to go work at AEW was "Would you (the talent) trust Vince with your career?" and now, almost 5 years later, it's "Would you trust Tony with your career?"
I'd take Vince in a heartbeat. More exposure leads to more money even if I got fired and better to be with he devil you know than the devil you don't.
Besides I wouldn't be pushed by Kahn cause I couldn't be verbally fellatioing the guy online every few weeks like most of his roster does
The Bucks running around with their idiotic victory lap will never not be funny. Feelings over business will drown them
If you don’t think it was 1000% intentional that HHH put punk on raw along with Cody when he knows WBD absolutely fucking loves Cody and Punk, all at the same time that raw wants new tv rights AND WBD is potentially looking to get out from under AEW then you aren’t paying attention.

Why would you want a wrestling company do end 🤔 just disturbing behavior from you WWE marks I mean serious mental health issues
@@justinmichaels7856why are you the fan of a company that allows their EVPs to fight regular employees in the back, then allows you guys to go rogue and see whatever the heck they want. Going off script messing up everything costing you money, then allowing your job guys to again cost you more money by running off your main event guys and one of your ex-EVPs? This sounds like a company that I would never want to work for and that I hope would go out of business. You have people punching each other in the heads backstage because they can't get along. Also the drama there you hear something every single week about oh I don't like this or I don't like that. Heck even Tony's employees don't like the guy as seen on Twitter because they're all complaining about their time or not getting to do stuff or not being on TV or wanting to leave.
@@justinmichaels7856 Okay, Freud, please tell us more about your fancy psychology degree. Where’d you get your diploma, the back of a cereal box? 😂
Wow. CM Punk is going to destroy AEW without even mentioning the one time.
It gives a whole new meaning to his Raw return promo "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to make money."while he smirks at the camera.
Can't Wait for the Darkside of the Ring episode on AEW.
He did take a shot a AEW’s backstage brawl in his smackdown promo. The crowd was silent and I think they didn’t know what he is talking about. 😂
@@C12K_Gamingthey knew… Nobody cares! Lol… the adults just shrugged it off… only ppl that thought he was wrong were the AEW EVPs n Jack Perry!…
AEW IS NO DIFFERENT FROM RAW
I think its funny that the aew security guard might be right about Punk ending the company. 😂
I also find it quite ironic that the bucks have the tagline "killing the business". Tony maybe should've looked at that a little bit before he decided to go with them.
😂😂😂😂
Don't gas Punk boy, get off your knees. WWE has been destroying AEW before Punk got fired, before HHH replaced Vince in creative, and even while Punk was over there. That's reality.
@@anonymousbo0318 but there is no doubt WWE are using punk to contrast their business against AEW's business. Do you think it's just a coincidence that CM punk is spending a lot of time with NXT. This is clearly orchestrated to show that WWE youngsters are willing to learn. And that punk was always willing to teach. They are using punk to make AEW look as bad as possible. And he's probably loving every minute of it.
@thatblindtekkenwarrior1177 the enemy of my enemy is my friend. 🙏
On a side note, we really need a Holiday omnibus of Punk's remaining time in AEW and his departure from the company and his triumphant return to the WWE.....
Fun fact: Tony khan was warned of the people he chose to work with by Jim… safe to say it became a self fulling prophecy
It’ll be the greatest wrestling gift ever if RAW ends up on TNT/TBS and Dynamite ends up on RUclips. The Mount Rushmore of AEW is a tombstone with two kids, a plumber, and a sad cowboy.
And a method actor with jazz hands.
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr Yes, lol. This Mount Rushmore needs more spots, because Pockets and Malnourished Tarzan have to be there too.
Miro, Aleister, Andrade, Wardlow, FTR, Toni, Kris, Starks, Hobbs will leave the sinking ship FAST. Maybe even MJF
@@smarkslowplay3512 I hope so; I like all those people! Especially Hobbs and MJF.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys, specifically in embellished jeans
WBD in Talks with WWE is making Meltzer and Tony Khan's heads spin. But Tony did this to himself. WBD wanted Punk by any means, so they created Collision for Punk, because Tony couldn't make the Elite and Punk work together. Tony "feared" for his life and fired Punk. Punk returns to WWE getting massive views and ratings and WBD wants a piece of that chedder. It's just Business. Thanks guys. This could be a massive shift in everything if RAW ended up on TNT or TBS. Plus add in the Endeavour doing streaming rights with TNA. 2024 continues to heat up as the craziest year in wrestling ever. You know damn well Tony is sweating bullets, but hey don't worry... the Devil' Reveal will make things better.
And it’s not even 2024 yet.
No matter what happens now that Devil reveal is going to be nothing but a disappointment, they’ve dragged this on wayyy too long, but hey let TK have his Black Scorpion trash angle because it worked so good the first time lol
JeriChode and his glittery high heels looking like a glam rock Ms Trunchable from Matilda.
The Devil will probably end up being Bischoff or Russo or something.
Punk maxed out in AEW... The platform was too small for him... He was a big fish in a small pond... WWE is the perfect platform for him
The neckbeards are absolutely livid😂
I hope Raw goes to WBD just to see The Elite’s faces lmfaooo
Then for a picture to be taken of those faces and sent to Travis Heckel to use as thumbnail art. He’s drawn the Bucks as crying babies at least twice
At this rate, TNA just might be the number 2 company again.
As they should be since have got alot better. They just need to be on a better Network.
@@kingslayer2999 what’s the Steiner math on them being on a better network?
Scott D'amore is wiser and more experienced than TK, he's lived through his fair share of seeing the rise and fall of TNA's glorious years.

@@kingslayer2999nah they need more money
"NO...HE HIT TWO BUCKS...AND SCARED JUNGLE BOY !!!" 😂

Love it when Brian does the 'AEW virgin' voice
Ace Steel - "Go and listen to Jimmy Cornette...somehow he knew everything."
CM Punk is winning at life and is rumored to want to succeed Shawn Michaels running NXT. His boost on raw definitely helps on his way to his takeover.
Ofc because the guys and girls in the WWE developmental are there to learn from scratch they ain't a bunch of indie wrestlers who think because they've wrestled Infront of 200 people In a rec center they've got wrestling figured out.
The shows he's advertised as the main attraction on are receiving some of the worst raw ratings ever. And collision is pretty much where it was when punk left. Punk gets ratings bumps in his segments because his hardcore chicago fans tune into him. Otherwise he's not a draw. He's taking up someone like Cody's spot who can do just as well without the mental illness looming.
Maybe but I don't see that last thing because Punk has a lot of anger issues
It also means that the Bucks and Twinkle Toes won't be going to NXT if they try to jump ship.
@@teppler 🤡🤡🤡
So basically hiring the "unhirable" CM Punk has already paid for itself in regards to the network negotiations. Rake it in , lol. In one fell swoop Punk has both stifled AEW's upcoming network deal and improved WWE's.
Imagine after all these years WWE ends up getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars from a Turner network, after selling for billions but still keeping control... Vince would feel even more like a king than ever before.
Punk was backstage at the NXT PC last Tuesday. He was going through a workout with the talent and giving some critiques and advice on their matches. Apparently the roster was really excited about getting to work with him.
What a horrible guy 😂😂😂.
This isn't what he should be doing right now. He just got to wwe, he should focus on being a good worker before trying to establish himself as a locker room influence. He just wants more young talent on his side next time he does one of his inevitable mentally ill wig outs.
@@tepplercope harder AEW fanboy
@@tepplerCope cope cope, because one is not enough for you.
He's getting ready for the matches, he is training for rumble. Plus NXT has guys who literally love him ever since they were children, cora jade literally worshipped him as a child
Still amuses me that every bit of this began over Colt fucking Cabana.
Brian’s aew fan impersonations are f***ing hilarious
I haven't rooted for the WWE in god knows how long, but I am genuinely rooting for Punk to crush AEW. If Warner Brothers does end up signing Raw I think the TKO group will end up doing whatever they can to push AEW to a streaming channel or to Sundays at 4am.
A wrestler being fired and then right after being instrumental in a company losing its TV deal sounds like an old Territories era story haha. My fave recent line from Corny is when he said something like "Tony! Tony! Look!! They are wiping their ass with your company" and that line seems to become more and more relevant 😂
If that happens, the dirtsheets and aew simps will put all the blame on Punk, they'll be like "Punk destroyed AEW! Punk is so petty and vindictive! Now everyone in AEW is out of jobs thanks to Punk!".
@@TheMrAlgohthat is so prophetic, I honestly believe that will be the AEW mark/dirtsheet narrative if/when it happens
The AEW simps are crying all over Twitter/X about how WBD will NEVER choose WWE over their precious AEW
@TheMrAlgoh that's so true. My original idea for a comment on this vid was imagine WWE in 2026 with Starks, Wardlow, and MJF, while the Elite are still doing their RUclips show and AEW is long gone
@@TheMrAlgoh Which is crazy because it’s not Punk’s fault. He tried to do business there yet the people he worked with have the maturity of 12-year-old children.
Jade, Cody, Pillman have already left. Jade was a big get especially considering how AEW booked her. Cody was huge because his family history and he was a founding EVP. Pillman we will have to wait and see but so far he has done better in NXT than anything he did in AEW. Then you take punk which is insane to even think probably the last big star Tony could get. And Cody just said he sees MJF will find his way to WWE. Wow just wow Tony
Punk's the only man right now with claims to be the top merch seller in both WWE and AEW.
Yeah Pillman Jr has been way more interesting so far in NXT than he ever was in AEW. Not saying he is gonna be great yet, but it’s already a definite improvement
He got aew haters saying his name as well so he be fine
I like Pillman as Lexis King. His character is so interesting and I love his unique ways of getting booked into matches he's not originally supposed be apart of. I think he's gonna do wonders in NXT
That's a Dream Team right there.
One bill Phil goes in for the kill!!! 😂😂😂 That's what AEW get for firing WBD's David Zaslav's favourite son and ruining Collision. I'm sure there is an ongoing bidding war for Jungle Jerkoff and Hangnail Adam Page, yeah you wished TK! Oops.. I need to shut up because Bryan Danielson is knocking on my door as we speak!
At this point, he's probably forgotten why he came over.
@@wandulyncollins5266he’ll probably start preaching veganism and then scream that he’s going to kick your fucking head in while then ending with a “have a good day”
I’ve been noticing that a quarter of the wrestling shirts in the crowd are CM Punk shirts. And they’re only available for preorder on the website, so those people are buying them at the merch table in the arenas.
I’m so very happy for Punk. Truly. After having endured juvenile, mean girl bs at AEW, he’s back where he belongs. Not only is this new run going to be great, but it looks like he’s getting his post wrestling career squared away as well.
I can't get enough of Jim saying "major motion pictures and sitcoms, baby" in Dusty's voice.

Time for another announcement.
Ive said it before. CM Punk wanted out of AEW and got out. He said he was gonna show in in WWE at that show and he did. He said he was 1 bil Phil and here we are. CM Punk hasn't lied about a thing. Shit he says happens and to me it seems he's a master chess player. Remember the "Ppl can't see your worth" tweet? Now AEW is feeling it.
Tell me when im telling lies
He never lied. Lol He was responsible for moving the needle in every metric they had, as per TONY KHAN HIMSELF. Yet he chose to side with the Elite, Colt Cabana and freaking Jungle Boy over the biggest star they ever had. He put them on the map, and they picked scrubs over stars. It’s mind-boggling.
That’s like telling John Cena to take a walk because he was upsetting the B-Team.
Cm Punk is raking in the dough
Maybe but it's not going to last because the guy has serious anger and mental health issues

@@justinmichaels7856 Adam Page did that first, where's the consistency? Seems you AEW marks will overlook absolutely anything having to do with the EVP's and their buddies but then complain when others do it. Again, have you diagnosed him?
Too bad Tony didn’t have people that he could talk with to help build the company. Too bad he didn’t have people like Jim Ross, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Steve Regal or Dean Malenko to help him out.
He had the elite
Arn and tully just left I think, after securing their retirement fund for four years, Man, arn just played the doof
Punk didn’t just moved the needle. Punk shifted the entire network.
In order to trigger AEW SWEATHOGS I always say to them "Long Live CM Punk and Long Live Jim Cornette!" And you see them get angry but IDGAF and just laugh at them. The reactions are beautiful.😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Imagining Prime Rick Rude with Megha airbrushed on the front of his tights gyrating in front of Tony and the EVPs.
I've only seen someone in a Young Bucks t-shirt once in my life, at a comics convention, and he looked exactly like the mouth breathing neck beard one would expect Last's impression of one to look like. He's really nailed that one.
If Warner Discovery do get the Raw TV rights (man, WWE on one of the former Turner networks? As someone that lived through the attitude era, that's wild) AEW is dead like WCW in 2001 without TV deal.
They'd have to drastically cut down costs. More Cutler and Abadon, less MJF and FTR
@@smarkslowplay3512at this point, Bucks should reveal their true colors, that they only want their indierific friends to win and hog all the titles in AEW, they want any bigger star to just lay down and lose for them.

If Punk was that Toxic, he would be part of the Wooo Energy Drink😂
13:46 “And Brian, if there was only somebody to foresee these events happening…”
I stfg I thought he was going into an ad-read 🤣🤣🤣
"He hit 2 Bucks & scared Jungle Boy!"😂😂😂
Brian is so on the money when it comes to the “aew super fan”
Everyday I see the same shit with them on twitter
If AEW loses its network deal Dave Meltzer should take some part of the responsibility for making it happen he is the one the one that started the whole drama between CM Punk and AEW all because his boys the Cucamonga Kids couldn't deal with the fact that there where not as over as CM Punk was so they started the whispering campaign against Punk with Dave help they use him like a stooge and he went along with it and now AEW may paid for consequences of it also all of the youtubers that be parroting everything Dave reports should also take part of the blame
Basically with this new TV deal, the merch, tv ratings, views on social media etc CM Punk has cost WWE nothing. Tong gave him away for free.
Cornette always breaking out into his Dusty voice is classic.😂😂
That Rise and Fall of AEW doc sure is writing itself.
When Jim did the bran muffin thing, he sounded like Bruce Prichard doing a Jim Cornette impression.
Can we please refer to Brian’s voice at the 15 minute mark as “lil Moxley”?
I was security for the WeestleLicious tapings. That was fun & I met Jimmy Hart.
If this wrestling thing doesn’t work out Brian could have a career in impressions
I watch these only to hear Jim Cornette sing. Truly one of the all time greats.
I love it when he goes off on musical tangents
Voice of an angel
Ok let’s hypothetically speak here.
Imagine if TK being a Punk Superfan is true. That means when Punk dropped that Pipebomb, he was one of those dudes that was saying “FUCK WWE!” Then somehow someway, TK not only manages to start a fed but he also managed to hire his favorite wrestler. Fast forward a year and you managed to piss off your favorite wrestler to the point that he makes amends with WWE. At the end of the day, Punk made up with WWE and it’s the Superfan, TK’s, fault. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He hit 2 Bucks and scared Jungle Boy😂
I love pro wrestling and I fear for my life when people almost get into a fight in front of me
Tony legitimately had every tool to take down WWEs monopoly available to him and he was too soft to do what Vince did in the 90’s and become a ruthless businessman.
He let all of these idiots step all over him just so he could play booker and now his company is on the backburner of tv networks..
Speaking of Punk, Tony and AEW, isn't there a TV deal expiring for young Mr. Khan? I heard WWE is trying to get a deal done with Warner Brothers Discovery, and there's no way Vince, Paul and Nick are doing anything other than an exclusive deal. Without a network, they're WCW in 2001. A worthless company with a lot of overpaid employees and no national TV network to put them on. If WWE has USA, FSN and the Turner networks, where do they go that is national? Do ABC, NBC and CBS do that sort of thing or just syndication when it comes to wrestling? I'm not aware of the new rules. I haven't watched wrestling regularly in over 20 years, but I do check in occasionally.
Well WWE are doing some type of Saturday Nights Main Event specials for NBC a couple of times next year, it will be the first time wrestling has been on MBC since the old Main Event, so I doubt they will be gunning for AEW and I don’t see ABC/Disney wanting them, and CBS just doesn’t feel like a good fit so I think AEW is kinda screwed
TK:
I can’t comment on Punk but please tune in next Wednesday for a MAJOR announcement of the signing of a indy Japanese wrestler no one has ever heard of. It won’t do anything to improve ratings or story telling but boy can he do some great flips!”
thanks guys
TK: Minoru Suzuki and Yoshiaki Fujiwara are All Elite!
IWC: That’s awesome…in 1984. Why don’t you go back in time and sign Karl Gotch while you’re at it?
@@toddkonrad2407 “And while you’re in the magical Time Machine, bring over Jesse the Body Ventura and Pedro Morales, too.” 😂
@@Jeff_Pryce “Hell Tony, why don’t you snatch up Lou Thesz while you’re at it. Let him work a program with Moxley. As soon as Mox no sells the double wrist lock, Lou can cinch it in for real and rip his arm out of the fucking socket and cripple his ass for good. You fuckin’ money mark.”
I will no longer in my life say that CM Punk isn't a draw. Not once but twice has a company tried to move Heaven and Earth to secure a TV deal involving CM Punk. Only draws can do that.
Now Talking With WBD to take his Collision Show Back lol
I’ve given up on AEW; they’re finished as far as I’m concerned.
I had hope when Danielson came in as a badass, cocky and confident heel. That hope was crushed in about one month.
I had hope when Punk had a great feud with MJF, and when he was booking Hobbs like a huge badass and setting up Starks to win the ‘real AEW Title’. That hope was smashed when Tony feared for his life, obliterated when Marko Danielson buried Starks by beating him 3-0 in a series of gimmick matches and when Hobbs joined the Phallus Family with Takeshita (another guy AEW would push if they were smart).
Jim is Jim. Classic. I love it. Brian is one hilarious dude. I was laughing my ass off.
I'm sure the blood drinking spot will go over very well during negotiations
I'm watching the weekly shows again since Orton and Punk came back. Count me as one of the people showing back up.
WWE now have 2 “Prime Vinces” lol, in a sense that they don’t care about anything else but to make the product better and to grow it and make more money. Triple H would do anything to make the product better but also Nick Khan has been a monster ever since he came to WWE. Both of these guys don’t care about feelings getting hurt, don’t care about people drama and personal issues, if they think that it will make the product better and/or expand the company and bring them more money, they will do it. Nick Khan is the only real businessman in pro-wrestling today. He always tried to make WWE bigger, feel more special, do the big stadiums and the big international shows. And also is smart enough to know that CM Punk brings the company more revenue, so he doesn’t give a fuck about what anybody says, he’s gonna bring him to his company and do big boy business. They had to do the Smackdown negotiations, so they gad the Bloodline there, LA Knight started to become a draw and they even had the Rock open a show. They had to do the NXT negotiations so they brought all the big guns to NXT to push the ratings and give the best product possible to the people and for the TV networks that they were negotiating with. Now they have to do the RAW negotiations so the already have Cody and the bring fucking CM Punk back to push the ratings, deliver a better product etc. Triple H and Nick Khan have the big boy pants on and they do big boy business. Only if the other Khan was half as good as them…
I'm glad because he was always labeled by the WWE higher-ups back in his original run as someone who couldn't draw.
Greatest aew fan voice ever by Brian Last today! Bravo!😂😂😂
Lol Brian old lady whining made my day
I thought that was his AlvarAss impersonation
As a Brit I can only assume that at 16:38 the phrase you're looking for is 'The Dog's Bollocks'!!
I’m starting to think CM Punk called Vince and said. I want to take down AEW and I know how to do it. Hunter said let’s do it.
It wouldn’t surprise me, like when Vince sent Bret to WCW
I've been waiting for this lol I hope this happens I bet WBD were pissed that tony khan fired punk look at how collison has been since punk got fired what a way for him to get revenge on aew by raw getting a deal with Warner brothers discovery this shit is crazy I'm actually in favor of this.
Maybe but what is with everybody calling it punks revenge is just silly and just shows that the WWE marks have serious mental health issues 😬💯 very disturbing behavior
@@justinmichaels7856 so fucking what that's what this is stop bringing in mental health issues as the excuse fuck that wwe isn't doing this by accident they must've seen what Collison has been since punk got fired from aew.
Corny as Doctor Smith, welcome back Travis the Arteest!!!
@@williammitchell4417I didn't notice that lol.
Justin Mark-aels
What’s disturbing is you spamming variations of the same comment over 30 times on this video. We get it Dorkstar, Punk Bad!! Big Meanie Head!! He beat up pwecious widdle Young Bucks!! Over Nothing!! Nope!! Nothing they could’ve possibly done to cause someone to punch them out…
The Elite gotta be the worst business men in the history of the wrestling industry. They had a freaking layup to keep CM Punk and they wanted to still get rid the golden goose
We needed somebody to start an alternative big budget wrestling promotion that had the potential to grow & be strong enough to wage war against The WWE. What we did not need was for Tony Khan to be that somebody. Because Tony Khan was never serious about doing this sh!t.
If WWE get MJF next year, thats the ball game for AEW.
Agreed 100%
Don't worry, Tony will make Hangnail or crippled Olivier AEW champ and everything will be a-ok fine!
I’m almost positive MJF already re-signed which would help explain this atrocious babyface title run. I hope to be proven wrong though, but we’ll have to wait and see
WWE is rated y-7 it's a kids show MJF ain't going to fit there
@@justinmichaels7856the WWE is fit for anybody lol don't matter MJF just won't be cussing or breaking the fourth wall every show.
