What would you have done in his situation?

>>18636462 (OP)
Not hire CM Punk

>>18636462 (OP)
Go to WWE and make shit ton of money because it’s only fake fighting and you don’t have to deal with retards like the young cucks.

Depends, what part are we trying to fix here

>>18636462 (OP)
Wouldn't have started fights over and over again

>>18636462 (OP)
try to be an even more of a sabotaging bitch to get on WWE's good side

>>18636462 (OP)
Be a normal human

>>18636462 (OP)
Phil is a sociopath but not a very smart one who can't make use of his position as a potential manipulator
He had the world in AEW and repeatedly squandered it because of his nig-tier IQ and abrasiveness, so in short I would have played the long game, not pushed myself to become champ as soon and worked a more comfortable low-effort position on the card to make insane tonybux while paying lip service to the brand and accumulating political capital behind the scenes

>>18636482
that part

>>18636462 (OP)
Retired

>>18636462 (OP)
The exact same thing: destroy AEW from the inside out. To be fair, it wasn't hard for Punk to do. All they needed was just a little...push. And it all came crumbling down.

Exactly what he did.

Who am I in this situation? Me in this situation watched collision for the first time.

>>18636477
This first.
I could never understand how he still had a cultbase in AEW after he refused the first Chicago All Out to do a WWE talk show.

Assuming I did hire the only man I have ever seen get tickled in a fight, I would fire him immediately after Brawl out. I said it then and I still say it now.

At the very least keeping him around post-Brawl Out until he puts over the current AEW Champion is smart, except MJF rightly wanted no part of BPD Phil.

Should've told Joe to shoot on him in Wembley tho

I would sperg out the momment someone did an unscripted promo on me

>>18636462 (OP)
Made omega and the bucks feud (but not touch) with punk and ftr for like 6 months to year and have a big blowoff match at a ppv and make money

>>18636477
This

I would have gotten rid of him after Brawl Out. Either buy out his contract or fire him. Nothing good came after this.

Would have probably given him a stern talking to after shooting in Hangman when he came back from his injury the first time.

>>18636462 (OP)
I'd have worked with Punk to turn AEW into a real business and fired anyone who had a problem with it.

hashed out the colt stuff immediately

>no-sell hangman shooting and stick to the script
>don’t do outwardly petty shit like calling hangman out the following week, knowing he’d already left the building
>take full advantage of tony’s undying loyalty to me
>politic him into making hangman a perma midcarder moving forward under the excuse that his title reign was a failure
>don’t recklessly jump into the crowd like a fucking mark
>quietly politic tony into minimizing the role of the bucks instead of having a public blowup
>tell schiavone to fuck off when he begs me to do something about jack perry
>hangman, the bucks and omega all jump ship to wwe in Summer 2023
All he had to do was handle everything behind the scenes and put on a smile in public. But then he wouldn’t be cm punk if he’d done that, now would he
