Why not? Just because you have foot in the door. It doesn't mean they accomplished anything yet and start trying to call shots. It doesn't mean you're a Stone Cold, Rock, Cena, or etc in this business selling out 80K venue or 60k global venues. Just like Kingston and Page are the 2nd best wrestlers to ever have their names. You can't be thinking you're hot shyt unless you're full of shyt. Got to be humble and hungry not arrogant, entitled, and complacent.I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but regarding this point... why? Those guys built AEW. The Young Bucks allegedly asked Punk to join the promotion whenever they started it only for Punk to wait and see what would happen. AEW built legitimate momentum and viewership before the former WWE/NXT stars all got signed. Did Punk & Danielson bring in viewers? Sure. But Punk working & going over Darby, MJF and Hangman didn't elevate any of them.
In all honesty, I don't know how you can blame Hangman's promo on Punk when Punk has made a career doing the same thing. But I agree. All of these mufukkas are way too old to be acting like this.
AEW has caught up so much ground in the WWE, but they are getting to the pressure cook phase for accelerating so fast. They aren't good enough. They gotta keep breaking through to be true competition. People that feel like they built AEW are gonna hamper progress when AEW has to continue to bring in better, more marketable talent. Either get better or make yourself expendable. Misfits don't turn an Indy+ wrestling company into a global empire.
So, Just do business the right way. When has Punk ever gave less than 100% in program or match in his return?
So why are they beefing with Punk? He's not pulling Hogan shyt. Eddie and MJF did serious personal digs at him in promos and Punk didn't call them out... Hmmmmm... I wonder why.
He had 5 programs so far.
Darby
Eddie
MJF
Page
Mox
All quality programs that where unique and he didn't bury a single dude. Legitimately great program. They was able to get Punk and Mox off the ground in a matter of three weeks.
The only thing different that I see is that the Evps are buddy buddy with Page.
I tend to be a devil advocate guy, but the more I look at it... Page, Kenny, and Young Bucks being some lame ass Kliq crybabies. Punk just being an emotional honest prick when he's supposed to be the face of the company and smile.
CM Punk was always a petty "No fukk's Given" dude with a hot mic and he called them out on their shyt trying to torpedo his Babyface run. Which is honestly what seems to irritate him the most.
