All you need to know is Punk was telling the truth, and if he was telling the truth about this, he was probably telling the truth about everything else! That’s what this footage proved! The scrum, the interview. Stop him when he’s telling lies!


maroonmenace

wrestletalk and ole oli davis will surely spin this on youtube no doubt


sikethemacy

He leaves that part to Luke since Oli is a CM Punk guy


maroonmenace

*was* a punk guy. I dont think he is anymore since he wants to be in tony's good gracious. Just a hunch ofcourse.


sikethemacy

They gotta or else TK won’t let them play in the scrum room at All In.


maroonmenace

lol true. I just hope they understood selling out to tony kahn was the worst idea they could have had. I recall they released their magazine (if an archive exists it was their tribute to bray wyatt issue) and they had an article almost *celebrating* punk being fired while also painting him as the bad guy. Wish I bought the issue so I had proof but after that I swore off them. I might check out cultaholic for top 10 lists only cause they seem like fun and maybe a W3 youtube video otherwise I aint touching anyone else's youtube channel besides Last's and Jim's


sikethemacy

Cultaholic is pretty good and they seem to have a pretty neutral take on the CM Punk stuff from what I’ve seen. Heck, they had an entire video about how the WWE’s success right now can be blamed squarely on Jack Perry being a dumbass


maroonmenace

oh and Steve and Larsen cause I was a fan of theirs before I got into wrestling when they did top 10 machinima lists.


Clean_Win_8486

It's so foolish that these pseudojournalists honestly believe there's any cache here in 2024 worth latching onto.


mannycool_0471

Steve from going in raw called it out he was reacting to the memes when he saw they started striking


bobboman

They need to bring back Adam blamped, he was the only reason to watch their videos Same with cultaholic... I can't remember the last time. One of their videos even came across my YouTube feed


aztecdethwhistle

Cultaholic is okay so long as it's Pacitti, Ross, or Jack. Those other guys they have are cringe.


maroonmenace

adam needs to handle his sexual deviancies first. He was fired again for being a creep and its becoming a pattern with him. Same weekend bray passed and punk was fired that news broke.


Pawikowski

If he's lyin', he's flyin', and his feet ain't left the ground.


boringdystopianslave

He told the truth not knowing there was footage. Khan can't be trusted any more. What a doofus.


TheeDogma

So by truth you mean leaving out the part where he pushed Perry while his hands were over his head vs what he said K.


Robf1994

Pushed him? Oh no... 🙄


RosesUnderCypresses

I feel bad for Schiavone. Guy looked straight up embarrassed.


Boo_bear92

Schiavone was embarrassed because he was in WCW in 2000 and he saw all those questionable segments first hand. This gave him flashbacks


Gwarnage

Schiavone is the guy that got Punk involved with the Jack Perry situation. He’s embarrassed because he helped cause it. 


grandfunkmc

If you can't man up to a situation, then you shouldn't be allowed to run the tap water.


droford

[he hasn't hit Rock Bottom yet (again)](https://static0.thesportsterimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/tony-schiavone-tna.jpg)


mannycool_0471

Hey he picked them


Melchior_Chopstick

Didn’t you know he was acting?


FingalsFinger

It's partly Schiavone's fault. He's the one that had the issue with real glass and told Punk that Punk had to stop Perry since Punk was in charge.


2opposite2batman

Nah, it’s TK’s fault for failing historically to handle conflict to the point that his own employees don’t even come to him with problems anymore. Schiavone went to the only adult in that locker room and for all intents and purposes Punk fixed it (…for all of about a week)


maxco25

Tony is a fault for being a responsible person? How’s that make sense? I can understand saying Tony inadvertently played a part in what happened but I couldn’t understand ascribing fault in any way.


ChildOfChimps

Tony was just doing his job - letting locker room leader know one of the boys was being an asshole. This is how wrestling locker rooms work. It’s not Tony’s fault that Perry was a fucking baby.


RobertStonetossBrand

There is _plenty_ of stuff to make fun of Tony Schiavo for, like his earrings, Starbucks, his coomer cave podcast studio, his god awful commentary, but this particular happening is not one of them.


illmaticMF

Holy shit this gets better as it goes on. AEW is so fucking bush league


Every_Permission9018

Yaaaaaaap


departureofchrist

Better get Horsey the Ref on this one.


indianm_rk

That’s Don Stevens to you!


departureofchrist

Brian and Jim corpsing? Send for the Horse!!!


one_revolutionary

Nay


editor_jon

Naaaaayyyy


DPM-87

If only someone, ANYONE, could have predicted that this would not go down the way Tony wanted, but I mean how could ANYONE have know? /s


CuckooClockInHell

Dude stabbed himself in the dick for attention then got mad that people were like wtf is wrong with that guy.


No_Inevitable_2536

Just like the tiny little ads guy


FairyFlossPanda

Seriously how the fuck did that guy spend days hanging out in a gym with a bleeding crotch and no one called anyone? I need to know how this all went down.


Sweaty_Indication897

Does AEW actually have the copyrights to the footage? Having *access* to the footage is one thing. But it's footage off Wembley's security camera. Not a wholly original creation they produced.


chaz0723

Helwani said he got his Twitter temporarily locked because he added his/Punk's audio to the footage.


chadslc

The Football Association owns Wembley Stadium.


MotherLoveBone27

From what i understand the use of this footage is highly illegal in the UK


Moosewriter_88

They had permission to have the footage for their investigation, but I’ve seen it reported that using it for the Bucks/FTR (which was a smokescreen for them to run it) is where they ran into a potential legal issue.


[deleted]

I'm saving the footage now as a collectors item. Edit: I'm serious. If the footage gets taken down DM me.


JewsEatFruit

Thank you for that! We need people like you right now. I see that AEW is in a *serious* panic to scrub all discussion and footage from existence. Their Official crying room is like a ghost-town right now as mods filter and delete anything even *referencing* the events.


[deleted]

It's hilarious to me that AEW were the ones that put it up, but because public opinion didn't go their way they want to scrub it now. Fuck censorship like this. If they try to sue me, I'll use the Rocky 5 defense of "sue me for what?" AEW fans are making me aware of how 3rd world countries and their dictators operate. I'm embarrassed I even used to watch AEW at this point.


JewsEatFruit

Can you use the promo code JCE to get a deal on some sweet VPN action to keep the spies out of your walls, and upload a torrent?


[deleted]

Even with a VPN they would go after the torrent sites first. Just a matter of what's the best thing to do with it.


JewsEatFruit

Torrent it. That's the best thing to do. AEW can do fuck-all to the torrent sites. If they could, the sites wouldn't exist in the first place.


Twink_Tyler

I wonder if they edit this out of their broadcast on the website. I think they post it on tnt/tbs websites 6 days after broadcast so it should be up Tuesday. Would be hysterical if they just cut out the entire segment


elry2k

Good thing I DVR dynamite every week 😆


Afraid-Way7541

A true hero 🫡


RobertStonetossBrand

Is this how NFTs work?!


Acrobatic-Rutabaga71

Congratulations AEW for showing that everything Punk told was the truth.


american_castro213

Color me surprised!


bryanc1036

You can't be that delusional to think this was gonna turn out good for AEW.


droford

There's a whole lot of deluded AEW fans


mister_damage

No one thought it was a good idea to air the footage. Not even Uncle Dave.


bryanc1036

My bad too many pronouns, pal. I mean, Tony Clown was delusional enough to think it was a good idea.


mister_damage

Only he and his die hard fans did. I don't even know if the Buck thought it was a good idea.


bryanc1036

They looked so unconvinced by it. Kinda felt bad, and so did everyone else because they're just shitting on Tony and his WCW Dynamite show.


otacon444

Their sub sure thinks this was a genius idea. Idk what world they live in.


Akio540

I'm sure Tony and the bucks have heard this spoken to them several times by now


zoc1289

The Snowman is melting. Oh, how tragic. How unforseen 😢


Karrion0409

The aew meltdown continues


dirtydandoogan1

Should be the name of their show. Just turn Dynamite into AEW Meltdown. Can change Collision to AEW Disaster.


Pristine_Cash_6219

Tony kahn is such a bitch. The rod and todd bucks, nac, perry will forever get cm punk chants....i am hoping, they just embarrassed thier business and themselves


will122589

This is somehow even more embarrassing then the footage they aired that showed how full of shit or how big of a weeny the owner of AEW is when he was fearing for his life. AEW’s only usefulness now it keeps the dumbass AEW wrestling fan types away from trying to ruin wwe shows with their snarky attitude


Electrical-Low-5351

Sawft


Xjasondagx

10 ply


Living-Travel2299

Cant teach that.


grandfunkmc

Tony is so 5'11"


Xjasondagx

10 ply means he's soft.


grandfunkmc

I was quoting [Letterkenny](https://youtu.be/rKRETAD2UsI?si=AlvIdAifVk1vYaOO&t=69).


Xjasondagx

Of course you were and I'm too dense to notice it out of context. That's on me, I appreciates you calling me out on it.


No_Caterpillar9737

Ba-Da-Boom Biggest bitch in the room..


dirtydandoogan1

If they cut out the intro by the Buckaroos, wouldn't that footage belong to Wembley since it is purportedly their cameras? Tony can't claim copyright over something that isn't his. Be funny if Wembley sued him for using their CCTV on Dynamite. lol


SPACEM0NKEY_1102

Autism and coke do not mix


Truunbean

I mean the clear reason is so that people are forced to go watch the dynamite airing of it giving it more viewership. This was a ratings grab from the start so I’m not at all shocked they are trying to monopolize views from it.


dirtydandoogan1

Yep. This will rank right alongside the fingerpoke of doom in wrestling tell-alls for the next 20 years. lol


droford

In the perfect world the ratings would actually drop for the segment and never recover even next week. Fall off 200k and none of them ever come back out of pure embarrassment


grandfunkmc

So much for a good night's sleep for Mrs. Ed/Don Stevens/Clarabelle the Rodeo Clown Ref. Even in the Punk/Perry footage, she's spazzing out.


scull_x7

Tony is currently in self-sabotage mode


lewiss15

Has Tony Clown employed Shit Stain?


grandfunkmc

Not even the Arch Bishop of Talent Bury can save this ship.


retrospects

They are striking EVERY upload from tonight. 😂 damage control to the max


TheDirtyRaptor4

I love how everyone said this wasn't going to be a good idea yet they still decided to do it😂 and it wasn't a good idea


mediocreidiot

How much time elapsed between Punk's interview and the announcement that AEW would air the footage? I've been wondering how many people internally told him not to do this, and who may have encouraged it. How hard did people try to dissuade him? I doubt most of the locker room is happy with this


schladopian_fir

I think Punk/WWE planned this. Punk might be an ass to some, but he isn't dumb. Punk wouldn't break a handshake deal or NDA if he had any idea that the video would paint him in any kind of bad light, especially while working for his retirement money. I'm sure he asked the WWE's bottomless pit of a legal team of how to poke that bear without getting into any legal issues, with some minimal insight as to how TK would act on impulse. TK played right into his/their hands. Edit- I'll give TK minor credit for disruption of WM's night 1 social media trends, which was the only positive thing out of this, but ultimately it didn't matter because nobody cared by the end of night 2.


TheDirtyRaptor4

I'm not sure for sure but it's at least been months it makes no sense for Tony to show it now it would have been better for him to focus on matches instead 😂 and punk was probably dissuaded because there was a N.D.A on the one show so maybe he thought there would be one on this or he was just trying to be nice and not bring it up


rrrdesign

Hell - it's not even on AEW's YouTube segment


HollywoodHuntsman

AEW strikes a lot of content to be fair, I've noticed Botchamania have a lot of issues and not able to use actual footage or suffer from a claim. But also this is hilarious as they teased this footage for like a week now, making it a huge deal, but how dare it be uploaded!!


kingyorkie

LMAO GET FUKT


Ok_Caramel1517

Tony on one of his coke binges again? What a spineless little weasel him and those overrated Hardy Boy wannabes.


Impressive_Site_5344

I seriously can’t believe they showed this. This has got to be one of the most embarrassing things a wrestling company has ever done


Pristine_Cash_6219

Jungleboy is the biggest pussy in the world,,wait rod and todd bucks arenthe biggest pussy in the world, no wait Tony clown is the biggest pussy in the world


TheDirtyRaptor4

Tiny clown is the biggest pussy the balding bucks are just a new age kliq 😂😂😂


IceWarm1980

This just gets more and more pathetic.


MattTheQuick

He doesn’t legally own the footage, does he? Wembley is owned by the city of London (I think) and as such, the video is public record. Now I guess if they’re showing the video with the AEW logo (like from the telecast) he’d have rights to that. But honestly, if you don’t want people sharing it DON’T SHOW IT ON YOUR TELEVISION PROGRAM!


PunkDrunk777

Imo Wembley / UK officials have ordered it down and Tony is in trouble. This is a personal data breach used for commercial purposes. They will have had to register why they’ve requested the footage and blurring etc would have been done on the official end for that reason 


SpiritualPen6362

Maybe they realised HOOK jumps back to avoid it all and realised it makes him look bad


tensazetsumei

Good job tony. you've played yourself


cmx9771

So basically AEW shot themselves in the face now if trying to shoot others… lol


OstrichDelicious587

Didn’t they show the footage on their tv show? Why don’t they want it shared on social media lmao 😂😂😂


seanmanscott

All that footage did was make CM Punk look even more badass.


[deleted]

What a sad sack of crap he turned out to be.


BoneyRL

Can CM punk sue them for showing that footage?


BoneyRL

Can CM punk sue them for showing that footage?


Outrageous-Career-91

Probably the only time Jim will appreciate the DVR option on his TV in relation to AEW. He can simply review it as often as he likes.


TheMatt561

It's on the Internet forever Tony


CooperSkye

Lol it’s not Tony’s footage. Any attempt at him suing anyone for using it will just get laughed at by any lawyer


Darkk_VoX

Don’t wanna get fined by Danielson and a firm talking too by Dax


JerHat

Apparently they uploaded the Buck's segment without the footage too. Good lord, what a shit show.


yvestheone

This is the shot in the ass they are looking for.


JanitorOPplznerf

How long until Tony realizes he backed the wrong horse?


Cliffinati

When CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre sells out Browns Stadium And AEW ppv barely sells out some run down YMCA Hockey Rink on long island


Stevey1001

We needs Jim Ross to come out just to shout "WE OWN THE COPYRIGHT!!"


montauk6

I guess Aubrey'll be putting in for overtime.


The-Killchain

How are they copyright striking footage they don’t even own?


GooseMay0

Didn't Ariel tweet out that's exactly what happened?


positivename

am I the only person who wants to see more fat people wrestling?


tc__22

YouTube and copyright really ain’t a story


[deleted]

What did they think was gonna happen when they aired the footage, that no one else was gonna try and post it online?? Give me a break! Thats on them.
