It’s really hypocritical to make a segment about Punk being the unprofessional one by banning people from collision when the whole reason collision existed was because the elite were too scared to work along side Punk on Dynamite.
Says the dude on the Internet who isn't being asked to work with a coworker who talks shit about him in front of everyone and then assaults him when confronted about it.
Exactly. Along with most of his aggression when he came back was due to Elite constantly prodding. It's fine for them to do it, but it's terrible when they get a receipt.
@@MrTwofishes heres the thing you aew smarks dont get who cry oh cm punks bad for locker room. i could care less what happens in locker room because i dont work there or know any of these people. you smarks want feel part of something so bad you complain about things that have nothing to do with you because you think it makes you feel part of it. watch the show and move on with your life like a normal person you slow clapping gate keeping white knighting beta male weirdos 🤣
You left out one HUGE detail... the BS the Elite pulled in the week before All In. Otherwise, great and fair coverage, tho I do wish you would've talked more about how Punk had to deal with being buried in the media for almost a year, quietly, BEFORE Brawl Out, then had to deal with it 10x worse afterwards. Imagine having YOUR bosses bury you to your shareholders weekly. How long would YOU take it before you did what Punk did to Tony in Chicago? Anywhere, here's that timeline: 1. A week before All In, Punk and the Elite were supposed to meet, per Tony, bury the hatchet, and discuss that big angle that would've made them all the biggest thing in wrestling. I guess Tony saw the first Jungle Boy (an Elite stooge) thing as a warning and actually tried to be a leader... The Elite canceled the meeting on Punk. Your biggest star, all this tension, you won't even talk to him. 2. Punk arrives in London, turns out all his travel itinerary is phony. They gave him a fake phone number to call, no car waiting for him, nothing. Who's in charge of travel? Another Bucks friend like Perry, who'd buried Punk on Twitter countless times. Seems an awful lot like they tried to get him to no-show. Instead, he old-schooled it and found a way to the show. Only for.... 3. Jack Perry to go into business for himself, on AEWs biggest night, dissing their biggest star live on PPV. If this were the 90s, Punk wouldn't have had to put hands on him. He'd have been fed to the Acolytes on Raw, beaten to a pulp, and fired on Tuesday. But he's The Elite's boy, so he can do what he wants. You KNOW that dude isn't any good. How many better talents have AEW squandered while he got TV time weekly? And he's one of the same guys telling Billy Gunn and Mark Henry "I don't need your help. I don't need to be out at the ring doing workshops before the shows, Ill just smoke bud and play video games with the Jacksons, your bosses, instead". I mean Jungle Boy and Hangman WISH they could get the crowd response Gunn gets NOW, let alone in his prime, and theyre telling him, Punk, etc "we dont need your help, we're already the shit". Well, if that were true, yall would be selling merch and selling tickets. I see more "Scissor me, Daddy Ass" shirts in the crowd than Hangman shirts. Now 1 of those 3 happens, ight, it happened. All 3 happen in one week? Na thats intentional. And after all that, all Punk did was facelock Jungle Boy to humble him, and get in Tony's face? Imho, they got off easy. Did Punk act unprofessional again? He did. But when the EVPs and their friends constantly try to make your life hell, and the CEO does nothing to stop it... I'm sorry Tony Khan, you SHOULD'VE been snuffed. And years from now, when the money's dried up for those legends, and they do shoot interviews about their time in AEW, I guarantee Punk is gonna look better and better.
Very well said. I find it funny that people think the Elite were these huge stars and selling a lot of merch and putting Pro Wrestling Tee's on the map and having their shirts sold in Hot Topic. But in reality, they sold as much merch as any lower card wrestler in WWE does. When Punk came into that company he outsold all of the merch sales that the Elite had done over a 5 year period in 1 hour. That's the difference between a legit Main Event star and a curtain jerker act. Pro Wrestling Tees had to close down their showroom and fill it equipment just to meet the demand. That pissed off the Elite to no end especially when Tony became Punk's biggest fan, and once Punk set his sights on the World Championship they did everything in their power to get in the way. They'd rather drag a legit star down to their level then let the company print money with Punk as the focal point of AEW.
thanks for letting me know in advance, if this is another one sided 'let's trash Punk without acknowledging what the little Elite turds did" hit piece then I'm skipping it.
What made me so sick to my stomach and genuinely hate the AEW product as a whole is how the Elite made Punk out to be the villain when he never was it was them all along and now that they got what they want AEW is struggling.
What's there else to say? You pretty much laid it all out facts! 💯 These elite kids and buddies are just glorified jobbers can you imagine them trying to pull these stunts in WWE? they would be fired immediately also they are already getting up there in age. People try compare aew to wcw but no way was wcw this bad and wcw had real stars and had higher ratings than anything aew ever had in fact even tna impact in its prime as short as it was still had over 2 million in ratings so aew is not on their league, if Tony doesn't wake up and hire the right people and be a leader Aew will completely self destruct and die.
Thank you bro thank you I’ve been telling people all this stuff and some soft a$$ fans couldn’t let it go they think the elite is the best thing in wrestling yeah I’ll say the bucks are incredible talent but clearly they care more about who are my “friends” then wrestling itself so I hate the bucks for that i honestly stopped caring about them after 2016 that’s it now Adam page he said he doesn’t care about peoples advice because he’s a world champion well clearly your run was dog 💩 and I honestly do not want to see another Adam page world title run and plus you saying that to a vet that you don’t care about advice only bad things are going to happen so f*ck Adam page I hate him still to this day and also I would say Kenny but it looks like he actually wanted to help punk and the bucks talk things out but who decided to no show the meeting the bucks so as of rn I’m still with punk and I hate the elite
AEW had more momentum and intrigue than WWE at one point. The autumn of 2021 when Punk won his return/debut match against Darby Allin, Hangman won the world title, and Danielson and Cole debuted on the same night, that's when I felt like, "Wow, AEW has the momentum, this is exciting...". You also had Wardlow being booked red hot. It's really sad that all of it collapsed and doesn't resemble that anymore.
AEW peaked in 2021, and was even great when CM Punk first got there. The day that shoot promo happened with Page is when it all begun to come crashing down.
Tony wasn't even the one who announced the company, he left it up to the Elite on their Being The Elite show to announce it. By doing that the perception was that they're running the show and calling the shots and Tony was just a guy putting the money into it.
@@tjshultz89 That's why AEW is a cooperative company. Matt Jackson was the one who came up with the idea and TK and his dad fund it that's why its a cooperative company. It's not the typical structured company.
@@jamesearlcash1758 On paper they're EVP's, but they have no control in that company other than making creative decisions for their own storylines. Tony Khan has 100% voting rights in his company. It's not a cooperative company, it's an LLC. It's 100% Tony's company.
@@tjshultz89 Actually the wrestlers having say in their creative is partly how a cooperative works. Cooperative companies are usually registered as LLC's AEW does joint venturing with other wrestling companies which is another aspect of how cooperatives work. Tony does not own 100% of AEW his dad also owns it. Tony and his dad have the final say, well that's how its supposed to be.
@@jamesearlcash1758 Please google what the differences between a Co-op and a business are. If AEW was a Co-Op, everyone working their would be a member-owner of the company. Everyone would have an equal voice and decisions are made democratically. No one has that voting power in the company other than the 2 Khan's. And if Daddy Khan wanted to close down the company he could whether or not Tony protested. Matt, Nick and Kenny can't vote to keep the company around because they have no stake in the company. The closest example of a Co-Op in pro wrestling was PWG. They had 6 owners who were all wrestlers during the start of the company including Disco Machine, Excalibur, Scott Lost, Joey Ryan, Super Dragon, and Top Gun Talwar. Anyone else who wrestled on the shows would get their flat fee payment, and any profit left after the show was split evenly 6 ways.
I see how you feel to mention that they left Punk at an airport in London and he had to take the train to the friggin event. Let's talk about unprofessional
@@ProWrestlingBits yep and how an American had to figure out how to get to Wembley on a train not knowing how to take the train in london. While everybody else had their travel taken care of by the company. LOL
@@Jlsousa1979Londoner here, the trains are a mess, the announcements are out of sync at the best of times. I was taking a train from Woking to London, this is a 2hr train thays only ran twice a day (and never runs on time). Halfway through it an Asian foreigner got on looking absolutely flustered, he asked if this train was going to London, I said yes. The announcement was horribly out of sync, to the point that it was announcing stations IN REVERSE ORDER (i.e the complete opposite route, stating it was going to WOKING). The asian businessman paniced, I ASSURED him that this train was going to London - but he panicked and ran off the train and got in a train opposite just before it left (yes this all happened VERY quickly), that train he got on to was a non-stop train to Guildford (1.5hrs away)
He was overshadowing everyone who was somebody before he got there and that was their problem! Not saying he didn’t handle his self like he should have, because he made a lot of mistakes personally, but Tony is not running a wrestling company. He’s running a daycare center. The only reason it’s still going because he’s a billionaire. He’s got more money to burn. It hasn’t even scratch the surface of how much money he has. I don’t care how much they’re losing he will never ever be broke. We all know it’s a hobby, but he’s a nanny not a president of a company.
Giving the Boys VP roles is the problem. That creates political BS. Jericho VP or Cody VP makes sense. Giving indy guys who never became a househild name in the states ,a VP role is there biggest mistake. Anyone still wrestling actively should not not have any management roles. It's not good for buisness
@KruelAidMan nope. Because what im saying is no one should wrestle as VP. Same goes for Cody & Jericho. If they were VP then they need to stop wrestling. End of Story. Who gives a shit about a username. I misspelled it for a reason lol. Talk about contradiction. You username is one lol. Kruel aid man. Lol.
This video was produced very nicely! You can see the effort and time that was invested into making this. Hope it garners more attention and you definitely earned a new sub.
This was a well done video. It's crazy that all this shit happened so recently, yet seems so long ago. Cousin Phil and the Elite (especially it seems the Bucks), hold responsibility for this situation, but Tony Khan is most responsible for not being a strong enough leader. Had things be handled, confronted early in that Hangman/Punk feud, had all parties involved been mature adults and professional, AEW may be in an even better place than it is now. I'm not sure if Punk returning is actually going to happen or even if it should, but it's a shame the entire AEW run ended the way it did. At the end of the day, fights are going to happen in wrestling, but good leadership is needed and people have to put their petty bullshit aside if they want to make money.
If this was WWE, they'd have sat down together while Punk was rehabbing his arm, Vince would've MADE THEM make peace, and they'd have told no one. Meltzer wouldn't even know. Then we'd have gotten an Elite vs CMFTR feud that would've made Tony a ton of money, elevated all involved, then Punk gets the final win so he can start a feud with MJF and lose clean to Max, finally unifying the titles. And ALL OF IT would've happened in sold out arenas. Tony Khan is a lil boy, and I wonder if Alvarez will have the balls to write "The Rise and Fall of AEW" when the time comes
I was baffled that Punk wanted to sit down with the Bucks and they refused... And TK let it happen... You're the boss, tell them to sit the f down to the meeting.
Thank you my man! Love this take, and I know people like to get tribal and either blame Punk or The Elite, but yes, the fact that it got this out of control is a Tony Khan problem.
Phil is great known him a long time. From CZW to Roh . The elites didn't want to work to make money the right way. Wrestling isn't a spot fest it's wrestling and kicking ass . Him and Brian strive for this..
A couple of nitpick fact checks here: 1. The Elite didn't make their return at Dynamite in Chicago. They returned at Full Gear 2022 the previous Saturday in Newark. 2. Collision wasn't created to be the CM Punk Show. WBD pushed for a Saturday AEW show. It just sort of turned into the CM Punk show after the fact.
This was really well edited, written, narrated and fair. You earned my sub! So happy Punk is back in WWE. Now we'll see if Cornett is correct in that last statement, but I think we all know he's right. Punk isn't blameless, however, AEW's environment clearly needs some massuve professional structure improvements.
Thank you so much! I too am happy Punk is back in WWE. I'm glad I ended the doc with Cornette's comments about Punk in WWE because it's the perfect transition to his next chapter, and yes, there WILL be a CM Punk in WWE documentary.
I was just looking up new videos with CM Punk title to feed the energy within myself and ether and found this, posted just 3 hours ago. I want to compliment you on 2 levels: the work you must have put out for this video must have been in the weeks or even months, every point had a relevant clip or visual. And on the other point, I just loved your energy, vibe and not least the historical knowledge and ability to recall wrestling events from way deep in the past, when it was relevant to the subject. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/4
This was released yesterday for that very reason. They knew ppl would be searching everywhere for anything with CM Punk in the title leading up to Survivor Series, so this was a brilliant piece of marketing and timing
@@KoolKeithProductions Indeed, a smart and calculated way to go about it, I respect it, when the content in on par and happy I found it. As opposed to some foken scumbags I've found with English video names and non English content insjde, claiming that Punk came back to smackdown yesterday...
The "feared for my life" speech by TK COULD have been his Mr McMahon moment ( like the "Bret Screwed Bret" promo). TK became hated by many fans ( his Twitter reactions didn't help either) .TK could have become a heat magnet. Alas, he never saw this.
Man, just wow, just WOW! That is how you make a wrestling documentary! Superb editing, great story telling, and nice voice over work! Also the part where you said it had the same production value of Rampage, and the quality of the cartoon changed was hilarious, and the stuff going on in the cartoon and the little details of what the tattoos said and everything is awesome!
I’m somewhat of an aew fan (not as much since punk left) and an avid Jim Cornette listener. Although this video is really well made and has some great animation/production, there’s nothing new here. The video title made me think someone spilled a bunch of shocking revelations. But I continued to watch because it’s a good doc.
One of the best retellings I've seen so far (also a Punk fan who lost 90% of interest in wrestling after Wembley show). I appreciated quite a bit of wrestling podcast clips, which I've never seen before.
no hate but why do you listen to Cornette he strikes me as one of those guys that hates most of modern wrestling just because its "new" and not what was popular decades ago, idk i could be wrong haven't listened to the guy that much
@@m.h4997 I listen to him, because he's genuinely funny and makes me laugh, which is valuable in itself. He's not afraid to makd a little bit of fool of himself. He also doesn't just craps on whatever he's reviewing, but if he cares enough he gives genuinely good advice on what could have been done better. There are countless examples of AEW actually implementing his suggestions to their programming.
@m.h4997 He doesn't hate it because it's new, he hates people who don't take the wrestling industry seriously. I am not his biggest fan but he's got a lot of interesting stories to tell and it's obvious he loves wrestling more than anything else
It’s also funny how everyone says drama would be gone when Cm Punk left, but there’s drama still going on it’s just no one on Cm Punk level of stardom so not much attention. Remember the night CM Punk got fired and the Young Bucks did a Victory lap in the ring? They’re so Professional Tho 😂
👏👏👏👏 No MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT PUNK ... MY GUY DID AMAZING JOB WITH THIS HBOMAX LEVEL DOCUMENTARY!!!! DETAILED & PERFECT STORM OF TRUTH & ....DIRTSHEETS . LOVED IT . PUNK FAN... NEVER CARED ABOUT ELITE..THIS DOC IS IT!!
The weird thing about locker room fights, is that something similar happened in the UFC locker room.. which resulted increased security in the back to keep the fighters away from each other.
You can say he was given his own show and that he banned whoever but honestly I don’t think punk did that and would have rather had his enemies on the same show so he can make compelling tv and make them look like idiots on tv more so than they already did. I don’t think punk wanted his own show. I think tony got a show and decided to separate punk from certain people by keeping him on one show because tony didn’t have balls to sit them all down and tell them how they’re going to all work together and make a lot of money. It’s not punk’s or the elites fault that tony doesn’t have balls. Punk kept aew in the news the entire time he was there good or bad. Now ratings aren’t hitting that occasional million at all and seem to be on a downward trend. If they would have all worked together then aew could be the biggest thing going right now and everything wwe is doing now wouldn’t be a big deal at all even with la knight, orton and cody. We also wouldn’t have been gypped out of punk and mjf 3
He did try to do a sit down at England all in and the elite said no doesn't work for them brother. Legit so after that punk was more pissed off and these jobbers
@@kodulehedjaepoed7512 these jobbers need their contracts cut by over half.their ego is so huge they think they can do whatever they want .this is why it's not good idea to have a company built around indie jobbers.their egos never got checked
@@ProWrestlingBits Why would you? You will tarnish your own name that way. If the rumors about buyout after brawl out were true but things got tangled up in no compete clause, I would've sat at home and collect the money. Like Hogan, Goldberg etc did when WCW ended. Take a rest, heal up, relax, collect checks and prepare for either future or retirement.
@@matthewmagda4971 I want AEW to succeed. The truth is that the company is run by an impudent weakling that allows his wrestling buddies to exploit him, rants on Twitter, allows backstage drama to go unchecked, low attendance records with half empty arenas, puts on 5 star matches that cannot put asses in seats, reads the Wrestling Observer Newsletter religiously and makes pointless announcements when those announcements should've been announced by the commentators.
Bro im a huge CM Punk.. this video i can see the efforts you have put in in research lots of respect for your work i usually dont comment but this deserve appreciation
I believe cm punk was more in the right with the whole situation!Tony khan painted himself in a corner the moment the company was launched! ALL ELITE WRESTLING!!! How can you have a company named elite and not have the elite??? It’s not possible, you would have to change the company name!
Even as a big CM Punk fan, I love the parallels you drew to Punk becoming a dynasty like John Cena and becoming everything he hates. 100% agree, Punk left wrestling as Punk but basically came to AEW as a Hogan. And while I will swear to my dying breathe that Punk didn't start the shit with the Elite, he just finished it, I will say he finished in probably the worst ways he could have.
People that like CM Punk and even have a great relationship with him: FTR, Batista, The Rock, HBK, John Cena, Randy Orton, Jade Cargill, etc People that dislike Punk and had a bad relationship with him: The “Elite”, Jack Perry or Jungle boy, Colt Cabana… Take this as you will…
Well done video in the first half but the clear bias took over towards the Collision part of the video. From facts to pure speculation and fan fiction real quick lol
@@WickedCool23that has nothing to do with the comment. Wrestling is a tiny niche. Aew is a microscopic sub-niche. Anyone who watches aew or even just listens to jim cornette already knows this stuff. The title of the video is clickbait and there’s nothing new. It’s a great video but the title is wrong.
@@BB-ed4om Cornette listeners probably know even more because they have talked about the issues their fair share. This vid even left things out what happened towards the end.
@@ojmcclanahan689 Jim Cornette has to be one of the biggest marks in the entire Wrestling industry today. Dude ties himself into knots getting ass-mad about anything a wrestling company he has no hand in does.
@@johnnysupreme5718 Well you obviously don't actually listen to what Jim Cornette has to say, nor do you know what the term mark really means, so just shut up. I don't have the patience to deal with people like you this evening.
Unfortunately as of right now, there are only really two ways to settle backstage beefs in AEW, HR or fists. This is why despite all its issues, Wrestler's Court was crucial in helping to squash beefs. A part of me would like to think that it was the Elite who leaked the Colt getting fired story to their dirt sheet buddies like Meltzer to sabotage CM Punk, but what probably DID happen was that Colt's contract was coming up, and he was probably going to be reassigned to ROH because that's where he makes the most sense but someone in the blogosphere made the suggestion that it was Punk's doing and it just spiralled from there to the infamous Hangman promo. I don't buy for a second that Punk would actually return to the WWE, yeah you will get that huge Chicago pop....but then what? Is he gonna be fed to Roman, win the title from Seth and then be frustrated because he sees that new WHC as a "runner-up prize" Not to mention there are still plenty of people who don't want him around....
@@GilbertTheWeird Yeah yeah I'll take my crow roasted with potatoes. But honestly, I doubt Punk will last much longer in WWE, he has people there who dislike him just as much as the Bucks or Jack do. How long before something implodes with Rollins, I've just seen footage of Survivor Series after they went off air. Rollins is having to be held back by Graves AND Cole.
@@UnboxedtvNetthat Rollins thing was a work and do you honestly believe punk is gonna be able to throw fists in that environment? Unlike AEW WWE actually has people who know how to manage a wrestling company
We will see if a year or so from now it Edge finds himself with the same frustrations, cuz his comments about "wanting to work with the young guys", "love of wrestling", etc was almost word for word how Punk felt when he started, before he started working with inept management & childish wrestlers...
@@grammysworld5449 I must have missed when Andrade had a meltdown on a RUclips scrum or backstage or after the shows seemingly every week -Sammy -BTE wut
Also, you do realize, CM Punk had the potential Lawsuit of a lifetime. Getting physically assaulted by 3 EVPS (after a Dressing Room invasion) would not have gone well for AEW in court. Punk chose to come back to work and help. Imagine going to work at your Retail Store or Restaurant and you get assaulted by 3 EVPs of the company. You would win millions in court. Punk could have sued and EASILY won, he chose to come back to work. That speaks volumes about Punk.
This was mostly very good but theres an obvious anti-punk bias without mentioning all the shenanigans the bucks pulled to get him worked up. And for god sakes, its MUFFINS! You have clips of the man eating muffins and you called them donuts!
Yeah, the IWC has this problem: They shit on Punk a bit too much without considering The Elite are elite manchildren, the talent being removed from Collision was actually make the show 50x better than Dynamite to watch, Jungle Jackass being a saint referencing Justin Timberlake and Tony Khan is a benevolent saint who could do no wrong, when he was a bitch and this exposed everything many of us knew Khan was a shitty booker, promoter and ESPECIALLY a manager. I hate Punk on a social issues/personal level, but I love him on a professional level and some of the things he called out were true.
Powerhouse Hobbs is one of the only guys AEW has that is actually intimidating. I want them to succeed, but man... they are taking the long way there.😅
I watched the video for the contents, but i subscribed because of the sheer effort, time, and love put into this video. This video was so well put together, you have a great voice and natural talent as a presenter. You earned my subscription, and i cant wait to see what you bring to the table next. Well done!
So I'm a huge Rocky fan I've been to conventions and never once have I ever heard anyone call Rocky 3 the best Rocky lmao. I think it's the general consensus that the films from best to worst are Rocky 1 Rocky Balboa (6) Rocky 4 Rocky 2 Rocky 3 Rocky 5 Everyone but the 5 is worth a rewatch
@@ProWrestlingBitsGotta agree for the most part with Devito. I'd just probably swap 2 & 4 but the rest is pretty accurate. 3 is definitely near the bottom
This was never about Punk vs the Elite. This was always about Punk vs the Bucks. Omega is a victim in all this for allowing the Bucks to drag him down.
I completely forgot to comment on the video itself... I really like the format; the voice over was more casual but still structured which I dug, and the old school rotoscope animation was tight. I'll be looking for more of your content.
If Punk does return to WWE I think the environment is strong enough to take his personality. You have set leadership with HHH and his crew and, from what other wrestlers have said, strong locker room leadership from folks like Roman (when he's there 😂), Drew, Seth, and I bet a lot of the women like Bayley, Nattie, and Charlotte all help to keep folk in check. Put it like this, act an ass around an extra grown man like Bobby Lashley and see how far you get!
Lashley wouldn't dare to say a word to CM Punk, even though Lashley's undefeated in mma, with like 14-0 record, he never fought in the UFC like Punk did 🤌
May I ask for source of animation at 28:40,with Alvarez voice over? Edit: later in the video you mention that 'it cost a lot'. So I assume you've commissioned it. Even more respect for thought and resources you've put into it.
:28 "...n*******s got bit" made me laugh :47 "Seeking vengeance against his own petty coworkers in Jacksonville...." Shows pic of the bucks/elite. Nice. This was well-done.
Had to watch this again its so entertaining 💯 and you broke everything down. I'm a Punk fan and aew hasn't felt the same since brawl out and then him getting fired after brawl in.
The think is thst AEW was to small for CM Punk size as a star who he became. It's not CM Punk choice, it's a people choice. We make it CM Punk who he is today. We love him SO MUCH. He is loved worldwide! No ather wrestler can get even close to level of Phil.
Really well done pretty. much bang on agree with all segments and I'm a mark who listens to lot podcaster including observer board so watched from start finish and loved it Okada like 5 stars💯🔥Keep up great content
A lot of this could have been avoided, if Tony Khan acted like a boss, instead of trying to be everyone's friend.
Exactly
100% Tony Khan is the goat in all of this, and not the good kind of goat.
The billionaire mark and his litter box full of EV😾🙀😿's (EVPu**ies)

It’s really hypocritical to make a segment about Punk being the unprofessional one by banning people from collision when the whole reason collision existed was because the elite were too scared to work along side Punk on Dynamite.
typical aew smark white knighting
Says the dude on the Internet who isn't being asked to work with a coworker who talks shit about him in front of everyone and then assaults him when confronted about it.
CM Punk was money but the elite were jealously conspiring against against him
Exactly. Along with most of his aggression when he came back was due to Elite constantly prodding. It's fine for them to do it, but it's terrible when they get a receipt.

You left out one HUGE detail... the BS the Elite pulled in the week before All In. Otherwise, great and fair coverage, tho I do wish you would've talked more about how Punk had to deal with being buried in the media for almost a year, quietly, BEFORE Brawl Out, then had to deal with it 10x worse afterwards. Imagine having YOUR bosses bury you to your shareholders weekly. How long would YOU take it before you did what Punk did to Tony in Chicago? Anywhere, here's that timeline:
1. A week before All In, Punk and the Elite were supposed to meet, per Tony, bury the hatchet, and discuss that big angle that would've made them all the biggest thing in wrestling. I guess Tony saw the first Jungle Boy (an Elite stooge) thing as a warning and actually tried to be a leader...
The Elite canceled the meeting on Punk. Your biggest star, all this tension, you won't even talk to him.
2. Punk arrives in London, turns out all his travel itinerary is phony. They gave him a fake phone number to call, no car waiting for him, nothing. Who's in charge of travel? Another Bucks friend like Perry, who'd buried Punk on Twitter countless times. Seems an awful lot like they tried to get him to no-show. Instead, he old-schooled it and found a way to the show. Only for....
3. Jack Perry to go into business for himself, on AEWs biggest night, dissing their biggest star live on PPV. If this were the 90s, Punk wouldn't have had to put hands on him. He'd have been fed to the Acolytes on Raw, beaten to a pulp, and fired on Tuesday. But he's The Elite's boy, so he can do what he wants. You KNOW that dude isn't any good. How many better talents have AEW squandered while he got TV time weekly? And he's one of the same guys telling Billy Gunn and Mark Henry "I don't need your help. I don't need to be out at the ring doing workshops before the shows, Ill just smoke bud and play video games with the Jacksons, your bosses, instead". I mean Jungle Boy and Hangman WISH they could get the crowd response Gunn gets NOW, let alone in his prime, and theyre telling him, Punk, etc "we dont need your help, we're already the shit". Well, if that were true, yall would be selling merch and selling tickets. I see more "Scissor me, Daddy Ass" shirts in the crowd than Hangman shirts.
Now 1 of those 3 happens, ight, it happened. All 3 happen in one week? Na thats intentional. And after all that, all Punk did was facelock Jungle Boy to humble him, and get in Tony's face? Imho, they got off easy. Did Punk act unprofessional again? He did. But when the EVPs and their friends constantly try to make your life hell, and the CEO does nothing to stop it... I'm sorry Tony Khan, you SHOULD'VE been snuffed. And years from now, when the money's dried up for those legends, and they do shoot interviews about their time in AEW, I guarantee Punk is gonna look better and better.
Very well said.
I find it funny that people think the Elite were these huge stars and selling a lot of merch and putting Pro Wrestling Tee's on the map and having their shirts sold in Hot Topic. But in reality, they sold as much merch as any lower card wrestler in WWE does. When Punk came into that company he outsold all of the merch sales that the Elite had done over a 5 year period in 1 hour. That's the difference between a legit Main Event star and a curtain jerker act. Pro Wrestling Tees had to close down their showroom and fill it equipment just to meet the demand. That pissed off the Elite to no end especially when Tony became Punk's biggest fan, and once Punk set his sights on the World Championship they did everything in their power to get in the way. They'd rather drag a legit star down to their level then let the company print money with Punk as the focal point of AEW.
thanks for letting me know in advance, if this is another one sided 'let's trash Punk without acknowledging what the little Elite turds did" hit piece then I'm skipping it.
What made me so sick to my stomach and genuinely hate the AEW product as a whole is how the Elite made Punk out to be the villain when he never was it was them all along and now that they got what they want AEW is struggling.
What's there else to say? You pretty much laid it all out facts! 💯 These elite kids and buddies are just glorified jobbers can you imagine them trying to pull these stunts in WWE? they would be fired immediately also they are already getting up there in age. People try compare aew to wcw but no way was wcw this bad and wcw had real stars and had higher ratings than anything aew ever had in fact even tna impact in its prime as short as it was still had over 2 million in ratings so aew is not on their league, if Tony doesn't wake up and hire the right people and be a leader Aew will completely self destruct and die.
Thank you bro thank you I’ve been telling people all this stuff and some soft a$$ fans couldn’t let it go they think the elite is the best thing in wrestling yeah I’ll say the bucks are incredible talent but clearly they care more about who are my “friends” then wrestling itself so I hate the bucks for that i honestly stopped caring about them after 2016 that’s it now Adam page he said he doesn’t care about peoples advice because he’s a world champion well clearly your run was dog 💩 and I honestly do not want to see another Adam page world title run and plus you saying that to a vet that you don’t care about advice only bad things are going to happen so f*ck Adam page I hate him still to this day and also I would say Kenny but it looks like he actually wanted to help punk and the bucks talk things out but who decided to no show the meeting the bucks so as of rn I’m still with punk and I hate the elite
Press conference is the best thing that happened to AEW
It was cinema!
And wwe in the end hahah
I loved early 2022 AEW. I was so hooked by CM Punk and MJF.
AEW had more momentum and intrigue than WWE at one point. The autumn of 2021 when Punk won his return/debut match against Darby Allin, Hangman won the world title, and Danielson and Cole debuted on the same night, that's when I felt like, "Wow, AEW has the momentum, this is exciting...". You also had Wardlow being booked red hot. It's really sad that all of it collapsed and doesn't resemble that anymore.
Sadly Tony's booking or lack thereof has ruined every new signee they got or anyone homeogrown who got over.
@@L_Trainany suggestions on how they can improve the product now? Because for the growth of the wrestling industry I want aew to thrive.
AEW peaked in 2021, and was even great when CM Punk first got there. The day that shoot promo happened with Page is when it all begun to come crashing down.
This was great. I think the biggest red flag that TK was going to suck as a boss was when he was a big enough mark to name the company after The Elite
Tony wasn't even the one who announced the company, he left it up to the Elite on their Being The Elite show to announce it. By doing that the perception was that they're running the show and calling the shots and Tony was just a guy putting the money into it.
@@tjshultz89 That's why AEW is a cooperative company. Matt Jackson
was the one who came up with the idea and TK and his dad fund it that's
why its a cooperative company. It's not the typical structured company.
@@jamesearlcash1758 On paper they're EVP's, but they have no control in that company other than making creative decisions for their own storylines. Tony Khan has 100% voting rights in his company. It's not a cooperative company, it's an LLC. It's 100% Tony's company.
@@tjshultz89 Actually the wrestlers having say in their creative is partly how
a cooperative works. Cooperative companies are usually registered as LLC's
AEW does joint venturing with other wrestling companies which is another
aspect of how cooperatives work. Tony does not own 100% of AEW his dad
also owns it. Tony and his dad have the final say, well that's how its supposed
to be.
@@jamesearlcash1758 Please google what the differences between a Co-op and a business are.
If AEW was a Co-Op, everyone working their would be a member-owner of the company. Everyone would have an equal voice and decisions are made democratically. No one has that voting power in the company other than the 2 Khan's. And if Daddy Khan wanted to close down the company he could whether or not Tony protested. Matt, Nick and Kenny can't vote to keep the company around because they have no stake in the company.
The closest example of a Co-Op in pro wrestling was PWG. They had 6 owners who were all wrestlers during the start of the company including Disco Machine, Excalibur, Scott Lost, Joey Ryan, Super Dragon, and Top Gun Talwar. Anyone else who wrestled on the shows would get their flat fee payment, and any profit left after the show was split evenly 6 ways.
The fact that this video dropped before Survivor Series is incredible 🔥💯
I love it when a plan comes together!
One thing about Punk, he brings the people. He's like a cult leader. As hated as he's become, his skill on the mic makes everyone want to see him.
YESS
I see how you feel to mention that they left Punk at an airport in London and he had to take the train to the friggin event. Let's talk about unprofessional
The next documentary will be about CM Punk being left at the airport in London. It'll be called The Airport Problem.
@@ProWrestlingBits yep and how an American had to figure out how to get to Wembley on a train not knowing how to take the train in london. While everybody else had their travel taken care of by the company. LOL
@@Jlsousa1979Londoner here, the trains are a mess, the announcements are out of sync at the best of times.
I was taking a train from Woking to London, this is a 2hr train thays only ran twice a day (and never runs on time). Halfway through it an Asian foreigner got on looking absolutely flustered, he asked if this train was going to London, I said yes.
The announcement was horribly out of sync, to the point that it was announcing stations IN REVERSE ORDER (i.e the complete opposite route, stating it was going to WOKING). The asian businessman paniced, I ASSURED him that this train was going to London - but he panicked and ran off the train and got in a train opposite just before it left (yes this all happened VERY quickly), that train he got on to was a non-stop train to Guildford (1.5hrs away)
He was overshadowing everyone who was somebody before he got there and that was their problem! Not saying he didn’t handle his self like he should have, because he made a lot of mistakes personally, but Tony is not running a wrestling company. He’s running a daycare center. The only reason it’s still going because he’s a billionaire. He’s got more money to burn. It hasn’t even scratch the surface of how much money he has. I don’t care how much they’re losing he will never ever be broke. We all know it’s a hobby, but he’s a nanny not a president of a company.
Giving the Boys VP roles is the problem. That creates political BS. Jericho VP or Cody VP makes sense. Giving indy guys who never became a househild name in the states ,a VP role is there biggest mistake. Anyone still wrestling actively should not not have any management roles. It's not good for buisness
I couldn't have said that any better myself!
@@HiPHOPx87 your name being a misspelling of eloquent is so accurate. You contradicted yourself within a matter of sentences.
@KruelAidMan nope. Because what im saying is no one should wrestle as VP. Same goes for Cody & Jericho. If they were VP then they need to stop wrestling. End of Story. Who gives a shit about a username. I misspelled it for a reason lol. Talk about contradiction. You username is one lol. Kruel aid man. Lol.
@@HiPHOPx87 I'm not sure you know what a contradiction is.
This video was produced very nicely! You can see the effort and time that was invested into making this. Hope it garners more attention and you definitely earned a new sub.
Thank you! We're going to have fun here!
Alfred you killed this, brought it back to life and killed it again! Shout-out to you and your team for a job well done!
Thank you my brother!
CM Punk isn't going to WWE or TNA. He's ACTUALLY going to show up to my birthday party.
I rate your birthday 8 stars if it was hosted at the tokyo dome!
This was a well done video. It's crazy that all this shit happened so recently, yet seems so long ago.
Cousin Phil and the Elite (especially it seems the Bucks), hold responsibility for this situation, but Tony Khan is most responsible for not being a strong enough leader. Had things be handled, confronted early in that Hangman/Punk feud, had all parties involved been mature adults and professional, AEW may be in an even better place than it is now. I'm not sure if Punk returning is actually going to happen or even if it should, but it's a shame the entire AEW run ended the way it did.
At the end of the day, fights are going to happen in wrestling, but good leadership is needed and people have to put their petty bullshit aside if they want to make money.
If this was WWE, they'd have sat down together while Punk was rehabbing his arm, Vince would've MADE THEM make peace, and they'd have told no one. Meltzer wouldn't even know. Then we'd have gotten an Elite vs CMFTR feud that would've made Tony a ton of money, elevated all involved, then Punk gets the final win so he can start a feud with MJF and lose clean to Max, finally unifying the titles. And ALL OF IT would've happened in sold out arenas.
Tony Khan is a lil boy, and I wonder if Alvarez will have the balls to write "The Rise and Fall of AEW" when the time comes
I was baffled that Punk wanted to sit down with the Bucks and they refused... And TK let it happen...
You're the boss, tell them to sit the f down to the meeting.
Thank you my man! Love this take, and I know people like to get tribal and either blame Punk or The Elite, but yes, the fact that it got this out of control is a Tony Khan problem.
Phil is great known him a long time. From CZW to Roh . The elites didn't want to work to make money the right way. Wrestling isn't a spot fest it's wrestling and kicking ass . Him and Brian strive for this..
Great points man! Send Cousin Phil my best!
and now Brian is scapegoat for the snowman and his fines for tweets
A couple of nitpick fact checks here:
1. The Elite didn't make their return at Dynamite in Chicago. They returned at Full Gear 2022 the previous Saturday in Newark.
2. Collision wasn't created to be the CM Punk Show. WBD pushed for a Saturday AEW show. It just sort of turned into the CM Punk show after the fact.
This was really well edited, written, narrated and fair. You earned my sub!
So happy Punk is back in WWE. Now we'll see if Cornett is correct in that last statement, but I think we all know he's right. Punk isn't blameless, however, AEW's environment clearly needs some massuve professional structure improvements.
Thank you so much! I too am happy Punk is back in WWE. I'm glad I ended the doc with Cornette's comments about Punk in WWE because it's the perfect transition to his next chapter, and yes, there WILL be a CM Punk in WWE documentary.
@@ProWrestlingBitsenjoy it while it lasts. Something always gives with Punk. Whether it's his ego or body first. One of them always break.
I was just looking up new videos with CM Punk title to feed the energy within myself and ether and found this, posted just 3 hours ago.
I want to compliment you on 2 levels: the work you must have put out for this video must have been in the weeks or even months, every point had a relevant clip or visual.
And on the other point, I just loved your energy, vibe and not least the historical knowledge and ability to recall wrestling events from way deep in the past, when it was relevant to the subject. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/4
This was released yesterday for that very reason. They knew ppl would be searching everywhere for anything with CM Punk in the title leading up to Survivor Series, so this was a brilliant piece of marketing and timing
@@KoolKeithProductions Indeed, a smart and calculated way to go about it, I respect it, when the content in on par and happy I found it. As opposed to some foken scumbags I've found with English video names and non English content insjde, claiming that Punk came back to smackdown yesterday...
Hell yeah! Thank you! The team went HAM on this one!
Yeah, unsubscribed because I hate your shorts, good luck
Seeing the OG OTRS Central in the video brought a smile to my face. Excellent work brother.
He's hilarious!
I’m new to WWE/AEW, and your videos are guides, helping me understand all the stories. Your work is great. Thank you!
I love to hear this! Thank you!
The "feared for my life" speech by TK COULD have been his Mr McMahon moment ( like the "Bret Screwed Bret" promo). TK became hated by many fans ( his Twitter reactions didn't help either) .TK could have become a heat magnet. Alas, he never saw this.
That's what I've been saying. He should've torn a page out of Vince McMahon's bio and turned the Jack Perry/CM Punk backstage drama into a storyline.
AEW just isn't big enough for CM Punk. Too many guys thirsty to get over that get jealous of a guy that just has to show up to get over.
Yep
Man, just wow, just WOW! That is how you make a wrestling documentary! Superb editing, great story telling, and nice voice over work! Also the part where you said it had the same production value of Rampage, and the quality of the cartoon changed was hilarious, and the stuff going on in the cartoon and the little details of what the tattoos said and everything is awesome!
I’m somewhat of an aew fan (not as much since punk left) and an avid Jim Cornette listener. Although this video is really well made and has some great animation/production, there’s nothing new here. The video title made me think someone spilled a bunch of shocking revelations. But I continued to watch because it’s a good doc.
One of the best retellings I've seen so far (also a Punk fan who lost 90% of interest in wrestling after Wembley show). I appreciated quite a bit of wrestling podcast clips, which I've never seen before.
😈
no hate but why do you listen to Cornette he strikes me as one of those guys that hates most of modern wrestling just because its "new" and not what was popular decades ago, idk i could be wrong haven't listened to the guy that much
@@m.h4997 I listen to him, because he's genuinely funny and makes me laugh, which is valuable in itself. He's not afraid to makd a little bit of fool of himself. He also doesn't just craps on whatever he's reviewing, but if he cares enough he gives genuinely good advice on what could have been done better. There are countless examples of AEW actually implementing his suggestions to their programming.
@m.h4997 He doesn't hate it because it's new, he hates people who don't take the wrestling industry seriously. I am not his biggest fan but he's got a lot of interesting stories to tell and it's obvious he loves wrestling more than anything else
It’s also funny how everyone says drama would be gone when Cm Punk left, but there’s drama still going on it’s just no one on Cm Punk level of stardom so not much attention. Remember the night CM Punk got fired and the Young Bucks did a Victory lap in the ring? They’re so Professional Tho 😂
👏👏👏👏 No MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT PUNK ... MY GUY DID AMAZING JOB WITH THIS HBOMAX LEVEL DOCUMENTARY!!!! DETAILED & PERFECT STORM OF TRUTH & ....DIRTSHEETS . LOVED IT . PUNK FAN... NEVER CARED ABOUT ELITE..THIS DOC IS IT!!
LET'S GOOOO!!
The weird thing about locker room fights, is that something similar happened in the UFC locker room.. which resulted increased security in the back to keep the fighters away from each other.
I'm surprised Tony Khan didn't hire security to protect his life.
You can say he was given his own show and that he banned whoever but honestly I don’t think punk did that and would have rather had his enemies on the same show so he can make compelling tv and make them look like idiots on tv more so than they already did. I don’t think punk wanted his own show. I think tony got a show and decided to separate punk from certain people by keeping him on one show because tony didn’t have balls to sit them all down and tell them how they’re going to all work together and make a lot of money. It’s not punk’s or the elites fault that tony doesn’t have balls. Punk kept aew in the news the entire time he was there good or bad. Now ratings aren’t hitting that occasional million at all and seem to be on a downward trend. If they would have all worked together then aew could be the biggest thing going right now and everything wwe is doing now wouldn’t be a big deal at all even with la knight, orton and cody. We also wouldn’t have been gypped out of punk and mjf 3
He did try to do a sit down at England all in and the elite said no doesn't work for them brother. Legit so after that punk was more pissed off and these jobbers
@@wingedhussar1453 That was supposed to be like 3-4 before London, and in Atlanta. But yeah, Bucks went full Hogan with this.
@@kodulehedjaepoed7512 these jobbers need their contracts cut by over half.their ego is so huge they think they can do whatever they want .this is why it's not good idea to have a company built around indie jobbers.their egos never got checked
I wouldn't be surprised if Punk simply forced himself out of AEW knowing they were going to keep screwing with him.
@@ProWrestlingBits Why would you? You will tarnish your own name that way. If the rumors about buyout after brawl out were true but things got tangled up in no compete clause, I would've sat at home and collect the money. Like Hogan, Goldberg etc did when WCW ended. Take a rest, heal up, relax, collect checks and prepare for either future or retirement.
I really like your sense of humor and your takes on different things in pro wrestling.
CM Punk exposed the true colours of Tony Khan.
AEW is a joke.
@@matthewmagda4971only to weak azz WWE fanboys
@@matthewmagda4971 I want AEW to succeed. The truth is that the company is run by an impudent weakling that allows his wrestling buddies to exploit him, rants on Twitter, allows backstage drama to go unchecked, low attendance records with half empty arenas, puts on 5 star matches that cannot put asses in seats, reads the Wrestling Observer Newsletter religiously and makes pointless announcements when those announcements should've been announced by the commentators.
I don't think it was malice he's just not great at booking or enforcing his rules.
Yeah yellow 😂
Bro im a huge CM Punk..
this video i can see the efforts you have put in in research
lots of respect for your work
i usually dont comment but this deserve appreciation
I believe cm punk was more in the right with the whole situation!Tony khan painted himself in a corner the moment the company was launched! ALL ELITE WRESTLING!!! How can you have a company named elite and not have the elite??? It’s not possible, you would have to change the company name!
Even as a big CM Punk fan, I love the parallels you drew to Punk becoming a dynasty like John Cena and becoming everything he hates. 100% agree, Punk left wrestling as Punk but basically came to AEW as a Hogan. And while I will swear to my dying breathe that Punk didn't start the shit with the Elite, he just finished it, I will say he finished in probably the worst ways he could have.
People that like CM Punk and even have a great relationship with him: FTR, Batista, The Rock, HBK, John Cena, Randy Orton, Jade Cargill, etc
People that dislike Punk and had a bad relationship with him: The “Elite”, Jack Perry or Jungle boy, Colt Cabana…
Take this as you will…
Well done video in the first half but the clear bias took over towards the Collision part of the video. From facts to pure speculation and fan fiction real quick lol
That’s what just happened to me I was like “did I skip the video by accident “ 😂

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Agreed!!!!
Unfortunately as of right now, there are only really two ways to settle backstage beefs in AEW, HR or fists. This is why despite all its issues, Wrestler's Court was crucial in helping to squash beefs. A part of me would like to think that it was the Elite who leaked the Colt getting fired story to their dirt sheet buddies like Meltzer to sabotage CM Punk, but what probably DID happen was that Colt's contract was coming up, and he was probably going to be reassigned to ROH because that's where he makes the most sense but someone in the blogosphere made the suggestion that it was Punk's doing and it just spiralled from there to the infamous Hangman promo.
I don't buy for a second that Punk would actually return to the WWE, yeah you will get that huge Chicago pop....but then what? Is he gonna be fed to Roman, win the title from Seth and then be frustrated because he sees that new WHC as a "runner-up prize" Not to mention there are still plenty of people who don't want him around....
Hoo, baby do I got news for you...
@@GilbertTheWeird Yeah yeah I'll take my crow roasted with potatoes. But honestly, I doubt Punk will last much longer in WWE, he has people there who dislike him just as much as the Bucks or Jack do.
How long before something implodes with Rollins, I've just seen footage of Survivor Series after they went off air. Rollins is having to be held back by Graves AND Cole.
@@UnboxedtvNetthat Rollins thing was a work and do you honestly believe punk is gonna be able to throw fists in that environment? Unlike AEW WWE actually has people who know how to manage a wrestling company

Also, you do realize, CM Punk had the potential Lawsuit of a lifetime. Getting physically assaulted by 3 EVPS (after a Dressing Room invasion) would not have gone well for AEW in court. Punk chose to come back to work and help.
Imagine going to work at your Retail Store or Restaurant and you get assaulted by 3 EVPs of the company. You would win millions in court. Punk could have sued and EASILY won, he chose to come back to work. That speaks volumes about Punk.

Yeah, the IWC has this problem: They shit on Punk a bit too much without considering The Elite are elite manchildren, the talent being removed from Collision was actually make the show 50x better than Dynamite to watch, Jungle Jackass being a saint referencing Justin Timberlake and Tony Khan is a benevolent saint who could do no wrong, when he was a bitch and this exposed everything many of us knew Khan was a shitty booker, promoter and ESPECIALLY a manager.

If Punk does return to WWE I think the environment is strong enough to take his personality. You have set leadership with HHH and his crew and, from what other wrestlers have said, strong locker room leadership from folks like Roman (when he's there 😂), Drew, Seth, and I bet a lot of the women like Bayley, Nattie, and Charlotte all help to keep folk in check. Put it like this, act an ass around an extra grown man like Bobby Lashley and see how far you get!

"Seeking vengeance against his own petty coworkers in Jacksonville...." Shows pic of the bucks/elite. Nice.
This was well-done.
This was amazing! Great work bro
Thank you!
Such a good content. You earned my subcribe. Keep that video coming bro.
Had to watch this again its so entertaining 💯 and you broke everything down. I'm a Punk fan and aew hasn't felt the same since brawl out and then him getting fired after brawl in.
Thank you so much! I too am a Punk fan, but I tried to be as fair as possible and I hope he works out in WWE.
The think is thst AEW was to small for CM Punk size as a star who he became.
It's not CM Punk choice, it's a people choice.
We make it CM Punk who he is today. We love him SO MUCH.
He is loved worldwide!
No ather wrestler can get even close to level of Phil.
This is the most professional and responsible piece Alfred Konuwa has ever produced.
