Punk just finally said what Cornette had revealed for months

I had the pleasure of meeting Bully Ray in 2017 where we shared a locker room for WCPW. I was intimidated by his size and aura BUT once I introduced myself and shook his hand, that all washed away. He took the piss out of my wrestling gear (I was a heel wearing god awful gear) and spoke to both me & my partner like human beings. I asked him, if you have time sir, could you watch our match please? He politely declined with a genuine sincerity & and reasons as to why, apologised profusely and gave me & my partner 10-15 minutes of his time to talk about tag wrestling and little things that were beyond valuable to both of us. As far as professionals go, Bully is up there as one of the most professional wrestlers I’ve ever met. 👊🏼👊🏼

Bubba is 100% right. Tony khan is an adult child with real life wrestling action figures. Daddy needs to teach him how to be a boss

This isn't about the older generation hating on the newer generation, it's about younger wrestlers not wanting to take advice from the older veterans and it clearly shows in the attitude the second they're told what to do and what not to do. Punk was literally the only adult in the room.

If you close your eyes it just sounds like Paul Heyman cutting a promo lmao

2:00 I’m glad Bully Ray said this. It’s not just Punk saying this. Jack Perry is apparently an entitled prick. Imagine being disrespectful to Bully Ray, a legend in the business who won titles everywhere he’s been, been a top act every place that matters. This kid, who’s never been anywhere and never done anything. He seems like he’s more trouble than he’s worth.

We need the whole show on YouTube and Spotify please

[jonathansalgado]

Jack Perry is a Jobber with a main event attitude 🤣🤣🤣

[neonmancer]

Bubba is so goddamn right
This guy's knowledge about the industry is something else. Cause he has been in everywhere, he worked under a lot of people.

Be the boss or hire someone who will be. It doesn't matter if it's a lemonade stand or AEW.

Bubba Ray and D-Von were a huge part of my make a wish back in TNA in 2010. There is not a nicer dude on the planet. Gracious, kind, and caring, not only for me, but also making sure my parents and my sister felt involved in the wrestling show as well.

Bully: "You can't buy the FORCE"

Finally a podcast that actually gives their true option about what Punk said. All these other marks want to say Punk was the problem in AeW.

[MrHan]

The Ariel Helwani interview with CM Punk was definitely a eulogy for Jack Perry.

[jasean]

I've heard Bully and Eric B, now im just waiting on Jim Cornette... 😂

[cwell]

Bubba is speaking straight FACTS! If you're the boss of a multi-million dollar company, you can't be "buddy-buddy" with the talent, it doesn't work.

[metalcoffie]

"You can't give wrestlers power over other wrestlers"....agreed, tell that to the EVPs.

[thisjourneycalledlife]

Bully saying “ You can’t buy the force” 👏🏽👏🏽 he’s a genius!

[justmarcus]

watching CM Punk and Orton kinda reviewing their WM match I realized CM punk is right, bully ray is right, uhm jim cornet is right
