The more and more I think about this, the more I come to think its work-ish to get a buzz about the company again heading into the fall.
They've just come off one of the roughest periods of their existence, they have a TV deal to negotiate soon, and WWE has all the momentum. Using real stuff with Cabana to get an angle going with the Elite wouldn't be an outrageous leap. The verbiage Punk used was basically a Cornette rant against Bucks/Kenny/Page.
So set the world on fire. Get buzz back. Start consistently popping numbers on TV.
And if there's one place left where you could run a Lawler-Kaufman angle, it's AEW.

Thanks for posting that. Seeing the full video changes the context. Obviously shit was being talked about between Tony and Punk before they went out there and Cabana's name was top of mind. I find the call out of Bucks and Hangman to be awesome. He is dead on. They are marks for themselves and thinking BTE for smart marks is the same as weekly TV.
Do they always do these types of things after events? I found this whole concept of wrestling beat writers asking questions in this format to be fascinating. Its kayfabe, but not? So weird. I love it. Punk is just eating pastries the whole time but Tony is the one who looks goofy the whole time. Its amazing lol

That flippy shit don't work backstage. The Young Bucks couldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.

That's really fucked up then that he goes off like that based on seeing someone. And being very specific about details that weren't asked. Something else had to have happened prior. I hope because that is not a good look especially when you are calling yourself a grown ass man being a professional in that rant. It was really weird. Brought up Cabana's mom at one point. Yea that was uncalled for. I mean yes Cabana should have his own bank account but that seemed a petty thing to harp on. Indy wrestling is hard and doesn't always pay the bills (mostly never).

Dave on Observer Radio said he & Bryan weren’t going to go because they are usually boring and like 6 hours long, but wanted to go to just say hi real quick and stuck around due to the hot start

This is wild. Everyone says they knew it was MJF either from the walk, the ring entrance or just obviously but..... this crowd was completely uncertain as to who it was:

If it's all a work, it's elaborate, incredibly interesting and could do some money. If it's not a work, I hope they're all smart and adult enough to let bygones be bygones because there's some money to be had either way in this whole thing.

Sure seems like the MJF thing ended up being a work in the long run, no?

I hope it's a work because I don't want to believe that environment could be that catty. And sadly, these are the men. We've heard little or no negativity from the female side.

This may be the issue that divides the board once and for all. When it mattered most, Speeps and I finally came together. I would give Punk an uninterrupted 2 year run and promote Ace Steel on the spot.

Look at Bobby Fish trying to get some rub.
Good for him. Especially since nobody cares about him otherwise.

I often disagree with Jim Cornette, but I support his assessment of this issue.

That was a fantastic listen. Cornette cackling at Punk's rant was delightful. The more I hear and the more it gets broken down the clearer it gets that the Bucks really are their own biggest marks. I mean the Trios match on the PPV says it all. Nobody wanted to see that as the final of that tourney with all the talent that was in it.

Cody Rhodes' departure is starting to make more sense now as it regards The Bucks and Omega. They're the new Kliq.
