“AEW locker room is SAD & EMBARRASSED over CM Punk situation.” | UPDATE: “CM PUNK PUT MY SAFETY, SECURITY & LIFE IN DANGER! HE’S FIRED!” - TONY KHAN

I would give him some ultimatums and tell him things are going to go the way I tell you they are going to go or you can quit before you fire him.

• Lengthy suspension and/or massive fine
• Strip him of the AEW Championship
• Required counseling and anger management
• Tell him your contract isn't going to be renewed, we're going to start phasing you out of the main event picture (he's about to turn 44 so let's be honest here he is on borrowed time anyways), and you have to start putting over young talent both in the ring and on the mic if you want to continue to be on the payroll
• Have to script out your promos and have them approved in advance so no shooting allowed

After all that he might just say fukk it and quit.

He still has a lot of value to the company so I wouldn't fire him unless you feel it's the only way to save the company from going into complete disarray. But he's abused the long leash he has been given, so it's time to crack down. If he doesn't like it then fukk him.

This is the dumbest post ever. Have you ever held a job?

He's bringing up people's moms unprovoked, shytting on EVP's (who happened to be co-founders of the company and inaugural Trios champs) and his boy is throwing fukking chairs at said EVP's. Pretty sure we're at that "complete disarray" phase. He and Steel need to be fired by the time Dynamite goes on-air on Wednesday.

Punk has to be suspended either for real (if all of this is shoot) or in kayfabe (if this is a work) since it's widely known news on the IWC that Eddie Kingston got suspended for real two weeks for slapping Sammy Guevara.

But let's just go with this is all a shoot...

If you don't give Punk a bigger suspension than Eddie got, then that is going to be severely problematic. Rather real or kayfabe, no way to justify not bringing the hammer down on him and expect to have any credibility whatsoever as a leader of the company.

Punk is going to have to have a short leash on his promos. He still needs the creative freedom he has on the mic, but he needs to be told that there is a zero tolerance policy for him shooting. He took the freedom he was granted and completely abused it, you have to check him on that.

Ace Steel has to be fired. He's a coach/producer. He's expendable.

Omega and the Bucks should be stripped of their EVP positions. If they are leaking fake news then that is 100% unacceptable for an EVP. Even if they are only leaking real news it shouldn't be happening. And if what I read is true that they stormed Punk's locker room, they should be suspended too.

They need to just eliminate this post-PPV media scrum stuff entirely. Tony comes off terribly in every single one of them and everything about this last one is beyond the pale.

Tony Khan needs to hire someone that's going to start checking the talent in the locker room. Doesn't seem like the locker room has any respect for him and there appears to be a void of leadership amongst the talent.

Punk needs to be fired.

You can’t fire them. Even Vince didn’t fire HBK or Bret with all the bullshyt they did. He didn’t fire Austin despite all the times he quit. Hell Jericho fought Brock and neither was fired or suspended.

You don’t fire your top talent for shyt like this. That’s bad business and moving off emotion.

They need to figure out this situation and get them to squash it tho. He probably needs a recently retired guy in the business that’s over 6’0 to be the enforcer\mediator for the talent. I think that was Cody’s job and they seem to start having all these back stage issues after he left.

But the things y’all are suggesting would be bad for their product and that would be bad for business.

and inaugural Trios champs

You know the titles are fake right?

I’m ready for New Day as a whole to come back. They shoulda never been split

I wanna laugh at the Bucks getting beaten up, but that chair shyt is fukked up. If it really went down like that, then I would be pushing hard for Punk and that dude to be fired. Omega doesn't strike me as a dikk so it sucks that he had to catch some of it. If they keep the chair throwing dude around then that's just going to cause more tension.

Nah, Kenny is a passive aggressive dikkhead just like the Bucks. Dude had a speech to the fans when he came back, and was throwing shots at Punk and others. Omega likes to throw stones and hide has hands after. He's been doing the same thing with Will Ospreay, then tried to play the victim afterwards

Kenny gets away with it because he's awkward and weird as fukk, so his antics get overlooked alot. But he's no different than the Bucks, and his bytch ass should have been smacked up a long time ago

 

[KFBF]

Curious if he gets fired is Punk petty enough to swallow his pride and go back to WWE to try and stick it to AEW. Would they even want him?

I agree with your premise however if this is a shoot, why slight the fans and take the title off the person a lot want to see with it?

I dont think Counseling is in order here

the Young Bucks getting slapped around



this is the most interesting that that bum CM Punk and AEW have ever been and its nothing to do with their product... I still won't watch.

funny that AEW went from, wrestlers should leave the toxic WWE and join us in perfect harmony at AEW to this ??
you mean to tell me the loss of a locker room leader in Cody and a grumpy older dikkhead in CM Punk changed everything ?

 

[JasoRockStar]

You can’t fire them. Even Vince didn’t fire HBK or Bret with all the bullshyt they did. He didn’t fire Austin despite all the times he quit. Hell Jericho fought Brock and neither was fired or suspended.

Firing Bret or HBK in a historically thin locker room in terms of talent and storyline legitimacy while your competitor is already dominating you in the ratings would've been business suicide. AEW doesn't have either of these obstacles. Ace Steel throwing a chair is worse than anything Jericho or Austin did.

He's still going off unprovoked about shyt with Colt Cabana from 7 years ago. I feel like he needs professional help working through that and learning how to more maturely deal with conflict management. This isn't like some isolated incident throughout his wrestling career either. That's not a healthy way to deal with problems; I think it would be beneficial for him both personally and professionally.

But fair point about the fans.

Sounds like Punk/Steel started it with the Bucks and Kenny was probably trying to break it up

Please read what you posted how about this part


*Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks went to Punk's locker room and confronted him about his comments during the scrum.

*There was a physical altercation with Punk and Matt and Nick Jackson.

*No one sharing stories is quite sure who threw the first punch.

*Kenny Omega was there but did not get into a physical altercation with Punk.

*Ace Steel arrived and did get involved as his wife was in the vicinity of the incident, possibly even inside Punk's locker room as she was watching over Punk's dog Larry. Steel was said to have gotten physically involved.

*A number of AEW staff and security hit the scene to break up the fracas and separate the Punk side from the Elite side.

*Once the sides were separated, they continued to argue for some time before The Bucks and Omega exited the area of Punk's locker room





So they go in his locker room 3on1 guys wife is either in the room with the dog or nearby of course she calls for her husband now it's 3on2 tell me how again Punk/Steel started the fight that was in Punks Locker Room




*We have heard from a number of people in the company backing one side and blaming the other. Some were backing Omega and The Bucks, given Punk's comments, feeling Punk's verbal statements led to the incident. Others were backing Punk and questioning why EVPs stormed into his locker room, placing Punk in a situation where he would be outnumbered and that has to shoulder some of the blame. Others are questioning how things will go down at TV this Wednesday given the situation involved the company's new champion, three EVPS and a Producer, all of whom are in positions of being leaders behind the scenes.





3on1 yeah I'm defending myself with my homie by my side fukk the Bucks. That just may save Punk that they went 3on1

Only way you don't fire Ace Steel is if CM Punk swears on his life or something that he will quit if Ace is fired.
