I can't imagine the Bucks managed to kick the door without slapping their leg
🤣 best comment
can you imagine 😂
LOL!
As the door no sells and rushes to the next spot.
Haha, they do it so much that it's just "natural."
The security team did turn up- all 20 of them. They just stood around the edge of the room and ran in one-by-one to take shitty bumps.
Underrated comment, laughing hard.
Wardlow. Wardlow. Wardlow.
Lmfao that's gold 🪙😂
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
I'm picturing Kenny Omega walking up to Tony Khan with a clump of hair and claiming "this is a unsafe working environment!"
Chunk of his arm instead of hair
😂😂😂
lmao hbk
"CM Punk and Ace Steel locker room brawl with the AEW EVPs? Oh yeah... I was there."
- Sean Waltman in a few years
"Actually, they said Ace threw a chair, but he was so ... y'know .... fuckin' pissed he threw *me* at 'em."
"I was there too, BROTHER, i punched the chair mid air, BROTHER, that slowed it down, without me, BROTHER, one of the bucks would have died, BROTHER" Hulk Hogan about the incident
@@TheUndeadShark Nah, Hogan's would be that he was partying in the room next door with some current celebrity and then a Jackson came flying through the wall and landed in his punch bowl
@@greglemrow3917😂😂😂
If only you'd put "Chris Jericho" instead of Sean Waltman lolol
"Nobody saw this coming"-Meltzer & Alvarez. Jim Cornette 3yrs ago = literally everything happening right now.
Exactly
Tony can kick out everyone and bring in Cornette.
There's the classic meme "They hated him because he told the truth". You can imagine.
Well CM Punk wasn't in AEW 3 years ago.....
That's not at all what they said. They said the it was obvious something would happen, but they didn't expect this exactly.
There was a fight in a room with a dog, someone got bit and the dog had nothing to do with it. Loving all of this.
😂Yeah. I was wondering if this incident was reported right. Ace Steel bit Omega? The one thing that hasn't been reported is where. If it was on the ass it's hilarious. But tbh, it sounds like Ace is covering for Larry. He's the ringleader in all of this😂
Excellent 🤣
Man bites dog is news!
@@timestampgod7338 f
The dog isn't charged
"It's 2023. You can't just punch people randomly."
"I'm old, I'm tired, and I work with children" that is my new favorite line from Punk and it is just amazing
"Empty headed dumb fuck" and "idiots think theyre in rosita" were gold too 🤣
This is all on Punk for being a damn cry baby. He's always whining about something it's been that way for YEARS. HE NEEDS TO GROW UP HIMSELF!
@@OhMy05 says you 🤦🏾
At least Punk isn't a father. Nothing can make you lose patience for working with figurative children than raising the real thing off the clock.
“I’m trying to run a business, an they’re acting like we’re in fucking reseda” 😂
“Punk can be a dick but that doesn’t mean he is wrong”. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Last made the absolute truest statement about this whole situation.
Punk is just too damn sensitive to be in the wrestling business. It stems from his childhood if you ever seen his documentary and i understand that, but this could’ve been avoided by all parties. It’s hilarious to watch it unfold though.
I know that if a bunch of guys storm my personal space with hate in their eyes, I'm not exactly thinking being friendly or that they have my livelihood in mind.
@@blakkbaloon8092 Really? So when guys who call themselves EVPs put information out there that is dishonest, how do you react? Punk didn't want too, but everyone has a breaking point.
@@blakkbaloon8092 you’re not wrong as this could have been avoided. However, it’s good to see the EVPs get exposed for being unprofessional and unworthy of having higher titles than the rest of the locker room.
Even if he's right, he handled the situation like an asshole. Who cares if he was initially right at this point. There's a whole new mess because he acted like an asshole.
Ace Steel got on national tv for the first time with his best friend, accidentally said ‘fuck’ live in one of the best promos in AEW history, knocked out Nick Jackson with a chair, bit Kenny Omega and might get fired from the company, all in the span of a single week.
Ace Steel first appeared on national TV in America for WWE in 2007. Have you ever heard of the Raw match between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell? Ace Steel played Trump in that match.
“For the first time with his best friend,” not “first time.”
@@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat CM Punk is also Ace's best student.
Mans a fucking hero though he should go get tested after biting Omega.
Teddy Hart career speed-run
This has Darkside of the Ring written all over it 😂 can’t wait for this episode
Who’s here after the Ace Steel interview? 😂
Right here 😅
The issue is no one respects Tony Khan. From MJF to CM Punk to the Elite. None of these guys take the "boss" seriously. The wrestlers are too used to telling Tony what's going to happen instead of the other way around. Tony should strip the EVP titles, hire a booker and make it clear that what the booker says goes. And if anyone has a problem with that here is what you're owed and good luck in your future endeavors.
TK needs to yank the choke chain on some of these mf'ers ... this is ridiculous
And make Regal head of talent.
Yes, that SHOULD happen. In fact, it SHOULD have happened on day one. SHOULD, unfortunately, doesn't mean WILL.
Mjf is totally out of it, he deserves a world title run, he had his problems with tony as he gave all the credits to ex wwe superstar, it's proved by their booking in aew. Cm Punk has won the world title being a newbie in the business though mjf was with them from the beginning,
Trust me mjf is the best mic holder ..
He can burn anyone with his mic skills..
He deserves much better
Yes agreed, however he to has a very big ego also, he wants praise, and to be seen as the guy who saved wrestling, Only one man for the job, I doubt he would take it.... he won't leave the castle to appear on AEW... but perhaps TK should hire Cornette to book to him
CM Punk: if I fall, I know my friends will be there to catch me
*enters Ace Steel with a steel chair* 😂😂
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ace is officially the number one homie.
Chaira again huh.
czcams.com/video/kqO8ZvZvs2U/video.html
CM Punk is the man not only did he address the bs rumors that these 3 clowns where spreading and made them all look like fools but he also whipped their assess when they tried to jump him in the locker room! My man!
The Elite only know how to pretend fight and slap their legs during super kicks. Punk failed in UFC but he still knows how to knock a fucker out!
I couldn't agree more
To be fair pretty sure Kenny wasn’t the issue… the other two numbnuts on the other hand weeeeellllll…….
I don't always agree with everything Jim says but in hindsight, Jim Cornette was absolutely right about everything when it comes to The Young Bucks.
I'll say it again.
Jim Cornette was right about The Young Bucks.
The most hilarious part of all
This . Who would of thought the downfall of aew would be COLT FUCKING CABANA
Sleeper cell Scotty Goldman!
I wondered when Punk came in when they'd use this angle. They're finally pulling the trigger on it, and in a big way!
Best comment
I'll admit I laughed my ass off at the thought of The Young Bucks having a physical altercation with anyone.
You know they were pissed🤣 god i wish someone recorded it, maybe we’ll see how it went down in a shoot interview years from now.
Nick lost what little hair he had left.
THEY DONT WANT NO SMOKE!!!
Lockport Phil couldn't whip butter. He's not much better.
I honestly wonder if when Nick got punched, Matt felt it, like Tomax and Xamot from Gi-Joe.
If you boil it down, Tony Khan chose Colt Cabana over CM Punk
What a loser!
Cause he's an idiot
The fact CM Punk wasn't medically clear before the match, and the EVPS already knew he was hurt after the match. And picked the time to confront him and got their asses kicked is even more funny. It's WILD! To see the truth come out amd CM Punk was treated that much unfairly 😮
The guest artist for this clip absolutely knocked it out of the park. 😂
No one can replace Travis, but I think this guy is def leading as his understudy. Great stuff Mr. Freeman!
That sparkly finger took me out. 🤣🤣
Is the sparkling finger Kenny Omega reference. 🤣🤣🤣
We need a comic series where Corny and Punk save professionally wrestling
Can we do a comic book series where Corny and Punk and Ace Steel save professional wrestling?
One can imagine Jericho backstage trying to hold everyone together and prevent them from tanking his meal ticket.
Or pulling out his hair plugs that image alone has me dieing
Jericho must be the worst locker room leader ever.
Lmaoooo 😭🤣🤣🤣 this made me laugh
He needs all the money he can get to properly plan for the next Capitol insurrection
Well, he is a wizard
How, as an EVP, do you see what kind of mindset Punk is in during that scrum, and decide that the correct course of action is to immediately confront him right after the scrum instead of giving him some time to cool off?
if you have no actual management skills or experience. like for instance if you were a former independent wrestler who got hired as an EVP because you did cool flips
@@mlafferty1100 pp
Lmfao
You exactly correct though
Exactly. But before that. Why would Khan have him Up first at the presser?? Right after he scraped himself up off the mat and he's freakin still wiping blood off of his face. He looked concussed and should have been checked out by a doctor.
That’s people
To be fair, running a Target is hard. Everyone is an asshole: customers, employees, distract managers, and etc.
Managing any department is difficult. I do not envy bosses who deal with prima donnas from every social class on a daily basis.
I think that was Punk's point, managing a target is hard, so why are these guys EVPS of a "Major" wrestling promotion?
My mother in law is a manager at WalMart, and she’s ground into a nub every week. It’s definitely harder than running wrestling as far as management is concerned, although the finances will always be there
*district
Also, pro wrestlers also have to worry about fucking up their payday. Assholes on minimum wage have no worries. They will just kick the can down the road to the next piece of shit job. I was an Assistant Manager at a Dollar store. Never Again. Way too many "rode the clock", and did no actual work. I wish I could super kick those lazy bastards.
"You're just lucky we didn't bring our trampoline!" -The Young Bucks, probably
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gold!!!! 🤣🤣
Im still laughing at the thought of them kicking a door down as some reported. Not a fucking chance they did that.
This is the best fucking comment on this video lmfao
I'm so glad someone else is talking about the fact that the Bucks are EVPs and need to be held to a higher standard. This isn't just some workplace dispute between coworkers, this is executives not behaving professionally with talent. No one else seems to be discussing this angle.
Brian is right on the money about looking at the bucks and omega as evps rather than wrestlers. Physically confronting your employee 3 on 1...from a litigation standpoint, that's exactly where it would go.
Be an interesting episode of Being The Elite 😂😂😎
My sediments exactly. Brian nailed it.
so many questions - is a dressing room a lodging? temporary residence? what rights does the state afford such a space in regards to self defense and how would same civil rights be affected by punitive measures against an employee exercising granted?
Sounds like a work
Someone’s boss came to their office after he badmouthed them to the press. That someone punched his boss and his friend committed aggravated assault with the other boss, and then bit another VP while he was trying to remove a dog from the office. That will likely be the story in litigation.
We are seeing more and more exactly why Cody left and why it was reported that Cody fell out with the Elite.
Hope this gets the love it deserves
Exactly, he definitely did have a falling out with Omega & The Bucks
@@MrSuSp7 no he didn’t Kenny just had him added to their game out of respect for his friend. You wouldn’t do that for someone you had a falling out with come on.
Doesn't matter what's reported if the man involved himself denied issues and won't speak on it. Not like it was reported by Yahoo Sports or even TMZ or something.
@@MrSuSp7 Tbh it wasn’t really a falling out just more so the fact they grew apart Cody and The Bucks Omega have 2 different visions when it comes to Wrestling I think Cody heat was more so with TK don’t believe everything you hear on the dirtsheets
It brings me large amounts of glee to know that someone kicked the shit out of the Bucks.
Me too,
Same. Not the biggest Punk fan but he damn sure isn't going to keep his mouth shut. Especially against passive aggressive bullshit.
I was happy all day when I read the news of this brawl. Those three idiots needed a lesson in reality…
I still can’t believe Tony Khan hired these total goofs as EVPS lol. What was this money mark dork thinking?
@@gilghuram7339 the elite is the foundation of AEW. I don’t know why they get a lot of hate. If it weren’t for the elite. AEW would of never existed
@@gilghuram7339 that just tells you about the character (or lack thereof) of TK
There is no legal justification for a 3 on 1 physical assault regardless of what was said. And like Brian said, company executives should NEVER behave this way.
Most people believe cm punk threw the first punch. We may learn different but lets face it... its all embrassing
@@danesesse Which, if the facts are true that they stormed in, Punk was well within his rights to do. If there is a reasonable belief that violence will ensue, you are within your rights to defend yourself, even if preemptive.
3 people storm in and start a shouting match, blocking the only exit. That self defense argument has a great chance in court.
@@GIJoepa no actually no courts says if people shout at you you are allowed to hit them no matter how they entered. No court allows assault and battery for self denfense against talking and angry entry of a room
@@danesesse one of the two sides said that the Elite kicked the door in when he didn't open it. If that's true, that's starting it regardless of who throws the first actual punch. Also as someone else said, EVPs (i.e. management) should not be aggressively confronting someone, who is clearly hot, immediately after he airs his grievances.
@@kitpalmer1583 If management choose to fuck up a door....still not self defense to punch one of them. If that indeed happened which lets be hon3st it didnt, because it is really hard to kick in a locked door...and what get the stadium to pay for it?
Thank God for Cornette. He's the only one leaning on Punk being in the right, and I agree with him. If you kick in the door of my room, I'm immediately defending myself. You don't wait for someone else to 'throw the first punch.' Han shot first for a reason.
I'd knock you out first pal.
Cornette is a CM Punk mark, Could've went to them man to man and talked to them in private like a grown man instead of bitching like a child at the media scrum, he's been more trouble than he's worth.. he washed up and injury prone.. only CM Punk fanboys defend how this dude has been acting lately
@Just G lol maybe he did and that's why they got Into a fight. It's all speculation. Nothing more.
@Just G If you have a title as a EVP you can't just go in kicking down doors and swinging on people. Do that shit at any other occupation and you'd be wearing a jumpsuit
There's zero evidence the door was kicked in. So let's pump the breaks on that one.
Let's take a moment to remember that the bucks did this to JR (they publicly bashed him for saying he didn't really like their performances) the bucks talked shit about Cody when he left, and now they've done it to punk.. They should be fired or just removed from their evp positions
Did he? I saw a video recently of JR talking about the Bucks' WWE tryout years back and said he wanted to hire them right away and that he really liked them.
Bucks are pretentious lil heaux
I missed that part, about the Bucks publicity bashing good old JR. When was this ?
Yeah can’t understand people that argue that punk was the one being unprofessional. He was right saying they are all children when they act like they did instead of real executives.
@@conniecarroll747 I remember cutlet doing it when JR said something about everyone gathering around for dives.
All I know is I’d like a guy like Ace Steel in my corner. What a maniac.
You mean Athe Thteel?
We all need an Ace Steele in our life
Back here after last night’s Survivor Series debut. Thank you to the Young Cucks for getting the ball rolling.
Sorry I’m on Punk’s side
The right side lol
You know they just brought up a good point in this clip. Everyone says Punk is a problem. What about the Elite and their falling out with NJPW? What about them pretending to work the ROH MSG show and then not fulfilling that when every one bought tickets to see them there? What about the rumors of issues last year between Cody and the Elite? What about all this stuff?
IMHO that shows how much of a direct pipeline The Elite have to much of the wrestling press. They leak their version of events and Uncle Dave and co. uncritically report it as fact.
What about it??
The people who love the Bucks and are calling out CM Punk aren't going to see that because they keep the Bucks dick in their mouth and can't see what's in front of them. And plus you're telling the truth about their favorite wrestlers. Look how they go after Cornette for telling the truth about their favorites.
Whataboutism. Not so much making a point as deflecting.
And what about Punk in WWE or the people at Fox that say he’s arrogant ass or UFC fighters that said he thought he was entitled, the truth is it’s 4 assholes 1 dog and a no name got into a skirmish can’t even call it a fight or a brawl
I'd say the Bucks and Kenny are equally as toxic. They allegedly drove Cody out of AEW, have used BTE to bully and harass Seth Rollins, Corbin, and Roman for years, participated in the "fuck Roman Reigns" chants just like everyone else, and created the hate culture you see in wrestling now by painting themselves as underdogs of the big
bad Vince. This is just two groups of toxic people having a pissing contest and also Hangman is there.
Bucks are locker room snitches to the dirt sheets they both cool with Dave Meltzer
I forgot about hangnail prity sure cabana is glad he got moved to the D promotion
Right this has been my thoughts as well. If someone likes Punk more because he's a bigger name then I get it. However, both sides are literally the toxic part of wrestling. What's hilarious is if now AEW has to do with the CM Punk chants hijacking their show. Especially since they don't have enough casual or normal fans to drown it out.
Don’t forget They created the “Fuck the Revival”. Who knows as FTR now. Looking back at it the shit was corny
@@davyjones2032 Hoo boy, they are going to have the biggest rating ever. If they smart they capitalize with every talent there go in and bring their A Game.
Now that punks back in wwe can we please get the security cam footage of punks 2 fights in AEW 😂
The internet will blow up if that ever leaked for real. Young Bucks would have to retire to hide their shame from the public.
You called it!
Brian is exactly right. This is conduct detrimental to the company and an abuse of power. They should be stripped of any mantle of authority at the very least. For all the heat that Punk may have in the locker room none of those wrestlers should feel safe around Omega and the Bucks going forward.
LOL Acting like CM Shit isn’t guilty too and probably responsible, okay
@@EE-yh8ms they went into his locker room with their b.s. got what they were looking for huh?
@@NH-pi5dw lol....guess one didn't see Punk too long after getting knocked out.
Was Omega looking for a sissy boy slap fight and got chomped instead? Lmfao.
@@EE-yh8ms listen I get it, you love the elite or aew or whatever. To quote Jim "i couldn't give a flying French fried titty fuck" either way. Fuck Punk. This isn't about Punk. This is a clear abuse of power on the executive level. Either the EVP position is real or its not, if it is then they are held to a MUCH higher level than a contractor, period. If not, well even in storyline I think it's a demotion if you want your company to be taken seriously as a company.
Jim going "who the fuck was that" about who got the cops involved shows Jim is OG
You could hear him reaching for his tennis racket!
Team Punk. Not even a question.

Legendary for him at least. Most relevant he's ever been.
He might need a shot after biting Kenny Omega you might get clown rabies.
I guess biting runs in the steele family. George the animal was also known to do it..
Lmao
AEW needs to hire Cornette to set people straight..lol. Also, imagining Punk wailing on Generation ME is kind of funny.
Well done Jim and Bryan for doing a South Park and reorganising your schedule to be on the ball for a red hot current topic, which of course will help massively!
True. That was great that they did that.
That definitely don’t want to miss out on the hottest wrestling angle in a long while lol

@@donnymoney4222 I'm tuning in just to see how they handle it.
The Hardly Boys and Harpo need to be fired from their executive positions
His Christmas came early
Hopefully taking a chair shot for real taught Nick a little bit about how he should be selling a little more for big moves.
I'm 100% behind Punk on this. Many AEW fans are saying fire him LOL its no wonder none of them nor the EVPS have a sense for business. Punk is by far the biggest draw in the company. Highest segments and google searched. Bucks arent even top 10 in the company for google searches. Segment wise, since Omega return all the the Elites segments lose 200k viewers. No joke they lose 20% of their audience when they're on tv. Idk if its because they dont like the style or just know they're winning so whats the point.
Other thing is these are EVPs, why are you storming the locker room of an individual who is obviously HOT. Address it in the morning like pros, and have a sit down once everything has cooled down. You don't 3v1 a guy who just shit on you with no regard for 10 mins and expect a "good" outcome.
Also for the company in general, Punk and a handful of others do all the PR for AEW. The Bucks do nothing. It is similar to when Cody was doing everything and again no Bucks anywhere. Kenny was doing video game stuff, so I will give him a pass. But if you're an EVP you gotta be at those comic cons and news stations doing PR to promote the company. These guys want to fuck around, buy shoes, and upload stuff on YT to draw the audience. That's the reason nobody searches them on google because they're not out there doing the work, and relying on word of mouth. Its why they were stagnant in ratings and house draws because 1 EVP was out there actually putting an effort into growing.
Its pretty embarrassing when you look at Twitter or SM and everyone is pissed at Punk but doesn't see it for what it is. The Bucks rather than doing business and having a huge draw match with FTR, dropped the titles and then put different ones on themselves lol. And they didn't even get pinned while losing those belts. Can anyone see the issue here or they just blind? Think about why Cody left, connect dots, and it starts to make sense.
Perfectly said. Cody is the smartest man in the business
Is Punk the chairman?
The unfortunate result will probably be their biggest drawing wrestler will probably be fired.The Cosplay EVP's probably will not even lose their titles.All because Punk told the truth .Bucks and Omega can dish it out but can't take it .
Punk burned the bridge. The Bucks and Kenny wanted to talk to him. Yet it was Punk who threw the first punch. Meanwhile, Kenny escorted the dog outta there, and Ace Steel bit Kenny afterwards. It was a messy situation, but Punk started all this. Business aside, Punk was terribly in the wrong for what he said in the media scrum and for striking first against The Elite, and also Steel for biting a man wtf. With that in mind, don't you think that the one who gets the more severe punishment would be Punk? Because to me, he should with just the evidence shown.
@@noypilegacy3996 Using the elites version of events as your evidence 🤣🤣
I really want to hear Cody's brutally honest opinion about the "evp's"
Yes! This

@@DarkNorthEmperor Recall that when he debuted at WM the Elite were petty and wouldn't send congratulations but CM Punk did...I definitely would love to hear what Cody thinks but I don't think he'd ever expose them.

08:51 this breakdown is perfect. Punk was unprofessional, absolutely.

Won’t happen, that would require Tony admitting he made a mistake giving out those titles in the first place. And homie never admits a wrongdoing
@@thomasleffler6721 your logic is sound and cannot be argued 🤣 he should, but you're right that he probably won't.
Reckon he'll just suspend them all? Has that ever happened in a company before where FOUR champions are suspended at the same time?! 🤣🤣🤣
@@thomasleffler6721 he should have never handed out such fat contracts either, if he hadn’t
Maybe people would actually want to put out the best show possible for everyone instead of just doing whatever for the niche fans and getting paid tons of money either way
That absolutly needs to happen. Bare minimum.
@@Nediablo More titles for Vacant
Cody saw the writing on the wall and left at the right time. It's no coincidence AEW is falling apart since he's been gone. It also doesn't help that Tony Khan has absolutely no control over his locker room. Punk is walking all over him, there's fights going on, people want out of their contracts, etc. He needs to stop being everyone's friend, start being a Boss, and get his house in order. This is embarrassing.
Cody didn't see nothing other than his stardom was going to drop when someone as big as CM Punk came in. Nobody was going to look at Cody the same, so why not leave? Also he had problems with the EVPs.
Correct. Cody knows how Punk is and knows how the Elite are. He could see it coming from a mile away. Add to that, Khan didn't feel that Cody was worth Punk money. Despite all of the work that Cody did backstage, being the only adult back there.
It's going to be hilarious when Papa Khan shows up to see what the Hell is going on. Shad is a full ass grown man of business, Punk will be quiet and listen and the EVP's will be expected to address as professional business men just exactly what it is that they are doing to make the company as profitable as possible.

This is exactly why Tony Khan should NOT do a "media scrum" after a Pay-per-view. 🤦🏾♂️ What is the purpose of these things?? For a wrestling promotion?? It makes no sense to pull back the curtain and expose the business like this to "reporters". 🤷🏾♂️
Punk could've instigated the entire thing, and I'd still side with him over the children.
The Hardly Boys and Harpo are cringe power abusing bastards and shouldn't be EVPs
Loving the special guest artists for this week! This one might be the best!
These comic books style superhero ones have been goddamn gold
Maurice has been killing it!

I'd definitely buy a full-size piece of this video's art, top gun stuff!
Yea I'm loving the comic book cover theme
This news is way better to follow with Jim and Brian. When these stories broke I went nuts waiting to hear their take on it. This is the right side of a wrestling revolution.
What revolution? Seriously where do you guys come up with this crap? Also, I love Jim Cornette, but it's also ok to disagree and have a different opinion. . . Wrestling revolution, holy F people have lost their damn minds
Lmao someone put Kenny Omega as Dave Meltzer's spouse on Wikipedia lol
I’m not gonna lie I’m very excited to hear the boy’s take on this
I'm surprised Jim and Brian didn't even explore the *possibility* that it is a work, much less see through it immediately.

@@minechaftgamer288 so entertaining 😂
same lol. who needs to watch it? it sucks
There's a problem when the backstage drama is so much more interesting than the drama on TV
As well as being wildly entertaining, this is a very well constructed take on the situation from both men here. Especially the point Last makes about the Bucks and Omega not behaving as EVP's of a company should.
If nothing else, this whole thing has led to some top-tier podcasting content!
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6?
I don't listen to fans I listen to the guys in the locker room and Chris is not known as a push over. Phil Brooks on the other hand is just a nerd that would be running around with Antifa if he wasn't a rich (self proclaimed) "Punk" that unironically sold out to the top wrestling company and *takes it* from mainstream Chicago politicians. UFC Fighters also said he was a narcissist. The fact he thought he could just buy MMA skills is proof of that.
Kenny omega tried to take Larry outside but got bit by a actual human being is just weird
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? there are already clowns saying he beat up the Bucks and Omega on a 3-on-1 fight. When you laugh, they bring up how Punk “trained UFC,” as if Omega didn’t compete in MMA and have much more impressive career.
Impressive, you lost me here’s 😂 He never fought for the UFC and got beaten by a old Dan Severn, if anything he did amateur MMA.
@@joebenson528this is wrong. He never thought he could buy it, he thought it’s worth ago as a wrestler trying to get into mma. There’s nothing wrong in learning how to fight.
The fact you turn round and say he could buy it, you’d a bright man…. Why don’t you buy yourself into mma?
I don't care who's right and who's wrong but this is the funniest shit and the best thing to happen in aew since it started, the thought of Matt Jackson storming in to confront punk and getting clocked is a beautiful image.
The elite gang “started” this company, and now it’s to the point where Tony can put a PPV on without any of them, none of them are needed for a show. When they built this little clubhouse they didn’t plan on big time builders coming in and turning it into something that could actually generate money and now it sounds like somebody has taken their precious toy away and well that simply won’t do
It's a good thing all this happened after a major PPV so new storylines can be fleshed out.
Well, CM Punk didn't build squat, he just came in and burned down the house that Elite built.
@@billywashere6965 Lol, delusion
@@billywashere6965 Their unprofessional actions burned it down.
Been going through a lot in my life lately, thank you Jim for your podcast, it means a lot to some of us who Badly need the escape and the pleasant distraction.
Whatever youre going through, keep your head up. It may sound Corny (pun intended) but youd be surprised how much having a positive mentality helps during those difficult times.
Right there with you. It's been rough for a few years now. Funny how we gravitate towards other people's problems for a brief break from our own. Haha!
@@JapanKilledChineseBabies yeah, it’s just on certain wrestling topics I could listen to Jim non stop talk about it, and this certainly was one of them, but literally on bad days the first second I get my first thought is get on CZcams and watch the new Jim Cornette post, it’s really weird to explain how much it helps, but it does
Keep hanging on man! You aren’t alone and we are all the Corny army here.
@@travisvansickle9002 corny army?? lol, we need a better name
I feel like an expert on this story, despite watching none of the actual footage lol. Thank you Corny and Brian. All I was thinking this whole time was, if they’re executive vice president, aren’t they already CM punks bosses? This is just too much all the way around, thank you for the ongoing entertainment
Love the effort to pump out stuff when it's urgent news n developments like this. Appreciate you 2 🙏
Oh you know damn well Corny is giddy like a 5 year old on Christmas morning, also he gets the biggest "I Told you so" in wrestling history.
So funny, wanna-be tough guys fucked around, and found out, hahaha.
I love how Dave dances around the scenario where the Bucks start this incident. Jim and Brian at least explore all options and say everything they heard.
When punk was going off and dave finally got to ask a question instead of ask follow questions on things punk was saying all you got from dave is 'how is you're foot' 😂 😂 😂 the guys a complete bitch made
I guarantee that they got their ass whooped.
Of course that’s the position Dave takes. Otherwise, he’d have to malign the reputations of his two biggest fans
Dave is a yogurt yodeler. The Bucks provide the yogurt.
UNCa Dave
Seems like everyone needs a friend like Ace Steel.
Even in 2024 this is gold. The downfall of AEW was when Cody left. Out of the 4 EVP’s that started the promotion, Cody seems line he is the most level headed and respected. When he left Tony Khan lost control of the locker room. If Cody didn’t leave I don’t think the all out brawl would have happened.
Cody Rhodes knew what he was doing when he ran to Connecticut. I get the feeling he was the one holding the whole thing together behind the curtain
The fact every young guy like Starks, Sammy and MJF still come to Cody for advice today while the Elite jackoffs get involved in shit like this shows you who was doing their job as an EVP
Punk finally won a real fight by slapping one of the Bucks silly!! lol
Lmao
Seeing how bad he was in UFC, and they took a clean shot 3 vs 1? That's literally humiliating.
@@misterx6276 Bucks always came across as the least intimidating people in the wrestling business. Besides maybe Dwarf Dong Sucker.
@@misterx6276, to be fair, if you at least get to the UFC, you’re going to win most fights. The worst UFC fighters, are still better fighters than 99.99999% of the population.
Hard to believe all this drama revolves around Colt Cabana: a comedy curtain jerker who has never drawn a dime.
Yeah I can't believe punk tried to get him fired. Not cool.
Came back to listen to this saga again now that Punk is where he belongs, and REALLY want to know where Jim is going at 21:32
Would love to know
I didn’t think it was possible to anticipate something more than Jim’s take on the media scrum.
I was wrong…I was wrong.
@Pugna. Who killed Kenny? Is that you joint bank account boom - boom?
@Pugna. Amazing how in 2022 people still think gay is an insult.
@@AxeGaijin I cant believe its CURRENT_YEAR
Why he’s a biased Punk ass kisser why would you be anticipating to hear this old man 😆
@@AxeGaijin
Amazing how it’s 2022 and we allow weirdos with mental illness thinking it’s ok.
I am starting to think there may have been more to Cody leaving, but he is very business savvy and still has career left. Pushing/provoking Punk at this stage in his career, is just dumb. He has enough money probably feels he accomplished what he wanted in his career that he gives zero %#$@! about playing politics or petty drama that he will air it out for everyone to hear because nothing can really be done to him
Cody leaving has nothing to do with this. He always wanted to be in the majors. He used TK and the Bucks etc. to be a main event player in the wrestling promotion that matters. Good for him. It's just hilarious AEW has gone from pathetic to pathetic dumpster fire since he left.
@@lracseroom8286 Cody plays the game just as good as trips.
Cody could see things were getting out of control and got of the Titanic before it eventually sinks!
@@shawnsdr3406 Good point, anyone inside (that we didn't really know until later) could see that shit a mile away.
the timing is interesting now that WWE is an attractive workplace again, suddenly Punk starts saying what he thinks. If he gets fired he can just go make millions over there with the real professionals
They tried Punk because they felt they could because of his UFC debacle years ago. What they failed to realize is that Punk is a legit martial arts practitioner, the UFC thing wasn't handled properly-he should not have been in there against the opponent he had anyway(Props for commiting regardless of the outcome, most other people wouldn't have), and they don't live in reality thinking that they could throw their weight around as if they're gods and they're not. They tried to punk him (pun intended) and it backfired.
Bret Hart punches Vince McMahon and no one knows about this, Vince McMahon turns heel to keep up the show and no police were called. These boys have a slap fight and they cry and the whole world knows. 🙄
The most disappointing part of this whole thing has been the (subtle) ways many members of the wrestling media have been portraying the events that come off as more favourable for the elite - leaking out certain bits of info piecemeal without qualifying whose camp it is coming from (either from punk, the EVPs or an independent third party), some people tweeting out the memes and jokes in favour of the bucks and omega and even tweeting their show releasing today.
The “wrestling media” is neither objective nor ethical, and it shows.
Can’t take serious anyone who still believes the media
Unca dave or jerichode are the ones that called the cops and snitched
Dave getting called out and having to respond like the little coward he is at the scrum was awesome. He sounded like a defeated roided up old man with his head tucked between his legs.
They’re jokes, it’s weird honestly.
The media in general is dishonest and unethical, not just the wrestling "journalists".
"to be fair they've probably seen a lot of people in video games doing this kind of thing" AHAHAHAHAHA
It's amazing how the "Niche audience", the Twitter fans all hate Punk, with almost no one thinking the Bucks & Omega could've deserved this, brought this upon themselves, were the protagonists in this. It's truly insane and bizarre too me
Pretty sure everyone here is in the wrong
The Hardly Boys and Harpo are cringe power abusing bastards and shouldn't be EVPs
They're all awful people. No one in any of this looks good. They look like 9th graders.
Absolutely. The only group I see that are saying Punk was in the wrong are these lame ass Elite stans.
I can’t tell you how much I need this comic to exist.
The EVP's need to be William Regal, Mark Henry, Billy Gunn, men who actually have done this for 20 plus years, and have HOF careers, who are mature Men that know this wrestling business
Them, Paul Wight, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, JIM "former head of talent relations at the WWE" ROSS. Hell, Dustin could finally hang it up and join the office if he feels the trainees aren't listening.
Tony has his PICK OF THE LITTER for people to put in those spots, all without having active wrestlers in the executive circle.
@@jesuszamora6949 I always hated having active or full time wrestlers as EVPs.. It's cool if they had full creative control and all but a full time wrestler should never be a EVP until they are either part time or fully retired just take taking bumps here and there in a storyline.. A wrestler should be focusing on their matches and not worrying about so much backstage stuff that doesn't involve them.. Do the backstage business when they retire from in ring action.. I truly believe is why some of their matches has lost quality cause of the extra work load...
Exactly. Guys who don’t wrestle anymore and aren’t going to.
Instead of Billy Gunn let's replace him with Dennis Condrey of the Midnight Express, let's see the Young Talent with pissy attitudes try and get one over on Loverboy Dennis
Not a bad idea. Young Bucks have no clue about business or booking. They should just worry about what goes on in the ring.
Looking back at it. Cody Rhodes looks like a genius for stepping away when he did
Too bad he can't talk about it because of NDA's.
He kept the company together. Went to shit went he left
@@Pupsterization122 they making more money than ever
“Genius” nope, just a common sense type of thing man. He read the room, knew that the company wasn’t going to curtail the cookamonga camp and creative differences were obviously mounting in the back. So he left before the drama become too much.
I’m happy for Cody honestly. He’s out of this utter mess of a “Wrestling” company.
If Aleister Black is a sign of the times, there are about to be a lot of geniuses in the near future.
I got out of work at Amazon at 5am and saw this when I got home, showered, and got into bed. Needless to say I stayed up and listened. Worth it! Thank you JC and BL!

Poor bastard's.
How long ago was it that Meltzer said anyone who thought that anyone had a problem with the bucks was stupid?
Jim raises an interesting point here;
How many of the current wrestlers actually try to keep news and happenings in-house? How many of them are more than willing to go tell news outlets exactly what has transpired? Or is it the extras and stagehands that relay the information? Cause almost everything gets out these days.
Yeah I wonder if the Meltzer driver guys ever leak “stories” 🤷♂️
Well that's exactly what Punk accused the evps of doing. The dirt sheets ran with the Colt Cabana story and have previously without telling the full story and let people believe Punk betrayed his friend.
the fact that meltzer constantly is in talks with khan says it all
the fact that meltzer constantly is in talks with khan says it all. i wouldn’t be surprised if even khan gossips with davey
@@HannahManana27 AEW was built on the very beginning as being this sort of no lines everything open fantasy land. Which, I mean, great for those specific folks who made it a requirement everyone come in be their bestie. Now they'd have to strongly reverse course on one of their own not-so-healthy-to-begin-with founding ethos' and there's a lotta chummy codependence with locker room and media now.
This picture is awesome!
There definitely should be a comic book with Jim, Punk and FTR fighting the evil forces of crazy Ballett dancers who threaten to exterminate the world of wrestling.
😂
I would immediately add it to my pull list at my local comic book store.
Doing their flippy dance routine 🤣
Make that shit now! 😂
"We shall destroy the world via destroying the wrestling world and the way you consume it!!! Muhahahaha!"
Pushing and shoving lands you a law suit, but in ring you use cheese grater in your opponent’s head and lacerate them with rusty razors, ice picks and baseball bats with nails, the world of wrestling
I only just realized that the background animals were BUCKS! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t it crazy how with all the problems and drama AEW seem to have, it always seems to involve the bucks and omega….
The Hardly Boys and Harpo need to be fired from their executive positions
Brian nailed it EVPs can not do what they did charging into a room and confronting an employee.
Yet he's fine working with Jim who's physically assaulted at least one employee and threatened others with violence? Okay. And, BTW, I love Jim...but the selective behavioral code is hilarious.
They thought punk was alone I bet but ace was with him.
Brian is right in that they can't do that, but he and Jim are also acting as though Punk didn't practically challenge them to a fight in that scrum. No, they shouldn't have answered the call, because they are EVPs. I'm just saying.
Except when the employee asks their employer to confront him if they have a problem.
Punk didn't get anything he did not outright ask for.
@@TheMuddFishh Agreed. 3 on 1 isn't right, IF that's what happened, but Punk was asking for this. Instead of being the mature leader Tony could rely on during a tumultuous time, that maybe could have led to the Elite being shoved out, he put himself before the company and now the company is f**ked.
Welp, Punk was fired today... AEW just burried themselves
Can we just step back and appreciate the AMAZING cover art for this?
Jim, is it possible to sell these prints online?
Ace Steel: what a guy to have your back. Huge respect for him.
Definition of ride or die friend

For all the Elite do to portray the power of friendship in their fucking wrestling matches, Ace showed what a friend is by standing by your guy even if it costs you your job. That's a friend.
Your simpin isn't going to pay Ace's bills, lol. Maybe you can wave to him in the breadline. 😂
Yeah he might do some jail time for assault brotha
One fact that cannot be disputed: Corny would of loved to of been in that room and took a shot at the elite himself.
Lol more like take multiple shots
@@brianhawk8446 Others enter: *see one of the Bucks with the tennis rack stuck around his neck*
Would have*
@@undertakernumberone1 A flat shot is only when Corny is working. Both of The Bucks would be getting a shot with the frame of it.
I'd pay for a PPV, lazy booking, no holds bar match
Hardly boys (with Trampoline) and Twinkle Toes (with his gaming controller) vs Punk (with Larry), Ace Steel (with a chair) and Corny (with his trusted racket). Book it Tony
Ace Steel confirmed that Corny and Last were correct on this
Listening after Punk's return to WWE as this was the start of his downfall in AEW.
Cornette is the only wrestling personality online (or anywhere else) who gets every single bit of this, from the beginning, for a LONG time now.
Jim and Brian have never peaked as much as they have until right now.
They new and told us 3 years ago
Facts
@@kamfisher1714 facts
Corny and Brian never tuck their tail and not talk about shit the way it is cuz they don't give a fuck if anyone likes em in aew. You go back from the beginning and corny been on point with everything going on in aew. Tony Khan is a money mark, the hardly boys and their friends are babies that think them doing gymnastics and having people like Yuta n shit is what appeals to the masses and then you got guys like punk and Bryan who try to bring some legitimacy to it and clown shit happens. It was only a matter of time before Saturday happened
I just saw a report that The Bucks went to Punk's locker room door and started bagging on it. Punk did not answer. The Bucks then proceeded to kick the door in. If this is true, it puts a different context on the whole confrontation. And if this is true, the Circue De Elite should be relieved of their EVP titles, their Trios titles and their titles as pretend professional wrestlers.
Outside the box... 2 weeks suspension like Kingston for all involved and 2weeks of an open microphone for MJF. I'll be needing this in my life
I like to think Olivier and The Hardlys superkicked the door in and then proceeded to ballet dance their way over to Punk in most menacing fashion. This enraged Ace who steamed in with a chair, Punk closed his eyes and windmilled, and Larry went berserk, biting anything that moved.
Yep, this is the new details coming from multiple sources. Gives credence to what Punk originally said, shit is getting leaked out to put the Elite in a good light.
Do you think that the bucks slapped their legs while kicking the door down?
@@Kalbuir66 firing the elite would be a massive gamble because alot of talent don't like CM punk for adding fuel to the whole thing so it could cause more people to leave. No matter who gets blamed no one is going to be happy with the end result
I hope someone tweeted this artwork to CM Punk. 🤙
the bucks entering his locker room is the instigation itself
Gotta hand it to them. They certainly are changing the way we consume “wrestling.”
