>In every metric , him choosing anti draws over a proven business draw has bitten Tony more in the ass than anything really
tony only ever had one confirmed draw in punk and gave him 2 world title wins (both leading to immediate injury) and his own live touring show with creative control. tony literally did choose punk over the other guys and did everything to placate him until punk told tony he was quitting
"firing with cause" was a PR move by tony to have the final say in that situation by technicality, but punk was an employee at AEW (not a contractor) so he was literally just going to leave either way
