      To be fair even the Young Bucks went out of their way to say it was essentially a schoolyard fight or whatever it was they said.
      The story they're going with is that the fight was nothing, but the effect of it was significant.
      I don't think they needed to show the footage at all. But it'll give them a ratings spike, people are talking about AEW in the week after mania and FTR got to cut a promo saying exactly the same as the fans are. Stop the drama. Move on. Have a great match.

      Personally don't think Perry came out looking any better or worse. (He will suffer in Chicago this week, but he'll keep improving in njpw)
      They didn't need to do it. I can certainly see and agree with a lot of the arguments that they shouldnt have. The Punk chants were obviously going to happen.

    Showing the footage was not a "haha! Got you" moment at Punk, it was putting out their side of the story. Punk went on an interview saying that it was a small fight and brushed it off. AEW is putting their side of the story at how one dude put in jeopardy the biggest show theyve done by getting into a physical altercation with a coworker, all while waving it into a storyline.

    I was disappointed in the episode, and I'm a big AEW supporter. I thought the whole Punk/Perry video was unnecessary, I guess I'm just over this whole issue. Let's just put it to rest now, please. Copeland/Penta was a pretty good match, as was May/Jay. Everything else to me seemed a bit lackluster. And I hate.. absolutely hate 'Eliminator' matches. The challenger never wins so there's never any follow up. We all knew Dustin was going to lose, that's his only job these days, unfortunately. The Storm/Rosa thing has no heat. The best part of the show, I thought, was the backstage interview with Cope, Briscoe, Kingston, Willow, and Stoke. That was good. I'm really not enjoying the EVP's heel turn this time. I know they are trolling the haters, but I feel like it's a bit lost. Okada didn't need a squash match, but I guess it was just for build-up, I wish they'd just have the flagship show primarily for higher ranked wrestlers. Why not use some of the AEW guys who aren't on TV get some TV time on the main show? Nothing against the local talent, but use them on Rampage or House Shows.

    There is a thing called toxic positivity Simon. Granted, it's not that serious to each their own, but its ok to call bad things out. That doesn't make it negativity. Criticism is essential for positive growth, and pretending everything ok will cause negative outcomes. Never change Simon, but be authentic and genuine with your positivity, not the "positivity gimmick." That completely undermines the goal of being positive.

    We used to roast Raw from about 2010 to 2022. This Dynamite was far far worse. It would have fit right in with the dying years of Nitro, which is disgraceful given how good AEW was just 2-3 years ago.
    It's actually been a slow decline that we haven't seen because of shiny things. Things were waning a little before Punk arrived and it gave them another 18 months of hiding their problems.
    I don't know why they have let the Punk issue push them off track so much. Just let it go completely and stop focusing on WWE. When I watch Dynamite I don't want to be constantly reminded of WWE. It's really bad to keep reminding the viewing of the hotter product. Just insanity.
    For once I agree with Bully Ray. AEW really needs help. They need to totally change how they book shows. It's grown far beyond being able to be run as a fantasy league. As WWE showed, sometimes the best thing that can happen is for the owner to have their hands firmly off creative.

    The Ups and Downs counter is broken again 🙃. All in all, this was not a good Dynamite. I found myself shaking my head more than just once. There was ZERO reason to show this footage as all it did was prove that what Punk said about the incident was right. He said he initiated contact first. He said he told TK off. He said he confronted Perry because of what he had said during his match regarding the glass spot. Nobody is out here saying Punk was right to assault a coworker but when he himself said that he did it and why he did it, and the fact that fact that he got fired over it, AND the fact that this happened MONTHS ago then what was the point?? It reeked of desperation. It reeked of TK trying to paint Punk in a bad light after he already said what he did and it’s just a shit look for AEW in general.
    And even the Will Ospreay comments were unnecessary and childish. This isn’t the attitude era. We’ve heard that same exact attempted insult towards Triple H for YEARS. Another weak attempt at a clapback. TK needs to stop trying to attack WWE and just focus on his company and the talent otherwise, they’ll be out of business in less than 5 yrs.

AEW has a roster full of talented wrestlers and that's what they should focus on. I personally don't give a shit where cm punk is currently, since last time when he left WWE and his stupid comments about WWE i have an opinion about him and for me he can even return to the UFC for another beatdown or backyard wrestling :)

This didn’t help their feud, it was distracting, petty, and elicited CM Punk chants on AEW tv. There’s no universe where this was a good idea, whether you’re on either side of the debate regarding Punk in AEW. If they felt like the footage was going to reverse any opinions (which it very clearly didn’t) then they should have posted it online or something, it had no place on Dynamite.
