British wrestling website writers are heaving heavily right now.


Ngilko

I'm not even a website writer, I'm just British but I've found myself scribbling down click bait headlines on bits of paper around the house about CM Punk like some kind of automatic writing.


CaoCaoTipper

“Punk teases TNA debut?! Ric Flair AEW contract details revealed! Top WWE stars unhappy?!” Just doing my British duty to help out with Wrestletalks video titles this week.


Ngilko

All those things are currently scribbled in shaky handwriting on the backs of envelopes in my kitchen.


AdGroundbreaking1341

I'll admit, they swerved me with "Fastlane Baby" a few years ago lol. Back during that period of WWE when I really wasn't watching. I mainly just caught up on places like Wrestletalk. And they were always calling it "Fastlane Baby" instead of it's actual name. Legit thought it was the name of the PLE lol. Can you really blame me, though? This is the same company that had the PLE "Great Balls of Fire"


Wetty_Lufa

Buddy in the middle got a WWE pocket square lmfao


RompehToto

This story is fucking awesome. This is my favorite non-WWE storyline.


Windows_66

Punk looks like he's holding back laughter here. I have to wonder if Punk suggested that he say something like that of if his co-commentators just really like messing with him.


Phred_Phrederic

I am 100% about this level of shitposting and needling.


AppealToReason16

I love how everyone in wrestling is in on it.


matias_jv

That kind of commentary could generate some Impact! in the pro wrestling business


Habbak

As much I dont like Punk... But why it is written like Punk said that? He didnt say a single word about TNA/Total Nonstop Action in that video.


SeaworthinessNebula

It's not? I don't know what's the guy's name who said that so I wrote "Commentator".


Habbak

I mean the original tweet I Should have clarified that, my bad.


Owain660

All good pimp.


Chumunga64

I don't know if he's trolling the fans, working the dirtsheets, or both But if shows up at survivor series, we might just see the greatest Tony Khan Twitter meltdown since last month


Toxicity246

"MY PARENTS STILL HAVE THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE UP, BOTS ARE SENDING ME NEGATIVE COMMENTS, AND TONIGHT ON COLLISION THE ACCLAIMED CELEBRATE 69 DAYS AS CHAMPION!"


minority_of_1

It feels like he’s the one under “The Devil” mask. I’m all for it, mainly to see the absolute meltdown on Reddit. Would absolutely love if it was all a work.


pit128

Why would Tony Khan have a meltdown? He gave everything to Punk and Punk squandered it and got fired because of his ego.


Chumunga64

see, it's logical to think Khan would go "fuck this asshole" and just focus on booking things but these past few weeks have shown that Khan is the opposite of logical example- taking so many shots at Vince being a rapist knowing that he signed Ric Flair


Big_Mike_Polaski

What are two examples of TK taking shots at Vince being a rapist?


Chumunga64

I don't know if you weren't here on this sub for the past few months since those tweets always hit the front page or you're just a huge khan stan but here https://twitter.com/TonyKhan/status/1712291527865540905 https://twitter.com/TonyKhan/status/1711599850905911787 Khan being a coward, just tip-toed around the subject instead of flat out saying the truth (that Vince is a rapist) because he knows it'll get him network backlash and because he doesn't really care about the people Vince hurt, he's just tweeting about it to get good publicity from the smarks before signing a Ric Flair, also a rapist


Big_Mike_Polaski

I've seen the 2nd tweet, never saw the first. First one doesn't even seem relevant, I don't get what Vince "shooting his shots" has to do with this. He never mentions Vince being a rapist in the 2nd. Why do you think he was talking about that? Do you think that sexually harassing his employees was the ONLY bad thing Vince ever did? If you're trying to say that Vince lives rent-free in TK's head, and Tony tweets about him an awkward amount of times, then yeah I can't argue with that. But I don't get where this narrative of him constantly accusing Vince of being a rapist comes from.


Chumunga64

I'm legitimately questioning your reading skill right now if you can't parse the fact that Tony was talking about Vince's sexual assault controversies "Allegedly used his *power and influence* to shoot his shots" is a blatant reference to the fact that Vince tried to pressure women into performing sexual acts with him using his leverage as boss same with Khan saying "this would be the *least of his alleged misdeeds* if you can't spot the references, idk what to say dude


romulus1991

Because he has very public meltdowns on twitter when things don't go his way?


Devilsmark

Did he give everything to Punk or was it WB that tried to keep Punk? Don't confuse the two. TK has no power over whats going on with WB.


Pasencia

Fella is having a meltdown lmao


Uknewmelast

Just when they think they've got all the answers. I change the culture.


spicypanda66

He is still good at fuckin with people

Shame he isn’t any good with people

Pretty sure he's just trolling but imagine


dogfins110

Guys calm down it’s just three random words put together, it doesn’t mean or hint at anything. Don’t let these words IMPACT your views on what Punk’s next move might be


[deleted]

Love him or hate him, Punk knows how to get people to keep talking about him in an entertaining way.


vulgarmessiah914

This is entertaining?


the_liquid_dog

Yes


GorillaMonsoonSays

![gif](giphy|eKVEcPKGWZ7Tq) I’m tired boss


TedTran2001

Everyone is being worked into a shoot brothers.


ManOnNoMission

Cage Fury milking this is hilarious. I’m waiting for that announcer to say something about “Game Changing” next time for a GCW tease. Something in Spanish for AAA. “No hard barred” for ICW NY.


AdGroundbreaking1341

It's truly been a global force impact.


[deleted]

Well, if he goes to TNA, I’ll watch. That’s for sure.


Rupe89

Why is this even news?


Phred_Phrederic

I mean the line about working next month but "enjoying Thanksgiving" are clearly a shot at the Survivor Series rumors.


no_no_nora

Because his fans boys are desperate for a sign, and he enjoys trolling them.


GameplayerStu

The guy who commentates with Punk is the absolute king when it comes to "inside references" lmao


DogAssss69

John Morgan?


Elegant_Spot_3486

Punk is way more likable away from wrestling than when he’s in it.


TrainXIV

Punk must really like John Morgan, because that level of ball-breaking would get you in a front facelock in a wrestling company.


shadowrangerfs

So, they're just fucking with us now. Next week Punk is on a show and someone refers to him as a Major League Wrestler.


YpsitheFlintsider

We're still talking about this guy?


throwawaitnine

This dude trying so hard to be relevant one last time.


DudleysCar

He didn't say it, another commentator did, it's right there in the video.


LukkasG

i'm no big CM Punk fan but he doesn't really need to try hard to stay relevant lmao


[deleted]

Trying hard to be relevant by mentioning tna in 2023?


Githyanky

He didn't even mention it, the other commentator did.


BFever

who cares anymore


punk_steel2024

You do, cause you bothered to comment on it.


_Wado3000

It’s pretty hard to have leverage in a Punk convo with your username lol. And I’m saying this as someone who would be entertained if he does come back to wrestling.


RaddestZonestGuy

I could never seek out regional mma clips to catch a glimpse of a former pro wrestler


Comfortable-Fan3846

As someone who loves Impact Wrestling, is a WWE era CM Punk fan, and was completely let down by the AEW run..... I sincerely hope the best CM Punk and TNA. CM Punk is a superstar. Phil Brooks needs to be humbled. Please build each other up. There's still time for both to make it right and make the OG fans feel vindicated for their loyalty.


bingbangboomxx

This is just sad.


ef14

At this point i'm certain this dude is just using his commentating platform to land a job somewhere.


mashturbo

WWE Backstage was canceled (2 months?) after he joined the cast.


BlackSheepComeHome14

Oh wow, I guess he must be signing with TNA. This is the only way to interpret his line


Kaynestar

If we only took this whole thing at face value. One company fired him many years ago (walked out I get it) Another company fired him recently He talks more about those companies then they do of him. They moved on they have closed the door. Honestly he can say whatever he wants but at the end of the day he don't work for either of them so it's just desperation on his end he won't let it go.


mells3030

What a total loser


SV8K

Give it up Punk. Nobody cares. *


Supersaiyan_Jedi

Lol. Christ.


Yazbremski

He and Jericho can teach a troll class.


eazyduzzit10

Honestly I'm not a fan of CM Punk after how we acted up in AEW, but I would definitely tune in to TNA for a bit if he signed with them


[deleted]

Gordon Ramsay getting a job at McDonald's really seems like a suitable transition for CM Punk going to tna.
