For those of you who aren't familiar, this incident is essentially what got CM Punk fired from AEW (CM Punk is the one wearing the XXX hoodie). AEW announced that they were going to release this during the WrestleMania buildup after CM Punk went on a podcast talking about it and how he only "choked Jack Perry a little", and well, this is very fucking underwhelming.
I've seen worse in high school locker rooms before a game/practice, worse fights between my siblings, and I can go on. What makes this even funnier is that the fight went exactly how CM Punk said it did and many people thought that he was lying about the extent of the violence when he never did. Tony Khan, the owner of AEW, said that Punk 'lunged' at him and made him 'fear for his life'. This footage isn't even a lunge, this just doesn't do anything for AEW as a product and it's just overall rather shit.

According to Meltzer, the footage ends before CM Punk lunged at Khan.
I know they said it was in service to the Bucks/FTR feud but there's no Buck or FTR in the video. And like you said it matches very closely with what Punk described. I know the Bucks are really pushing the meta jerk boss angle, but outside of that I don't understand who benefits from this video. Did it make any pro Punk people rethink their opinion or vice versa, I doubt it?
Nope, the tiny AEW crowd started chanting “CM Punk!” during the footage, basically the only people that thought releasing it as a good idea are Tony Khan and the Young Bucks
Going to scold my coworker for his work. If he doesn’t get down and kiss my feet I will attack him in front of my boss. Maybe a few swings and a choke. Once it’s over I will angrily charge my boss. Then I will tell everyone how unhealthy of a work environment it is because my boss lacks maturity and leadership.
Seriously, what the fuck? People still defending Punk?
Punk claims he asked TK to handle it right before he went to "handle it himself" but you can see the most he does is glance at TK.
Punk claims he had a Chael Sonnen moment where he was forced to defend himself even though he's shown walking to Perry and getting in his face while Perry remains calm.
Punk claims he never threw a punch, when you can see in the video his elbow drawing back and him swinging at his chin.
Punk claims Perry was the aggressor even though Perry's hands are in his hair the whole time.
Punk claims he never threatened TK when he's clearly seen lunging at him.
The same people are also acting that it’s perfectly fine to take less money for more work just because the bigger company offers it. The disconnect is real.
If Punk set the world on fire, his fans would blame the world for being so flammable.
Really baffling. That guy went from zero to 100 in aggression in the video.
I was at trivia so didn't watch live (don't ever watch anything live, I DVR so I can skip commercials, women's matches, and 2 out of 3 hours of Raw) but the online comments is like: Why did Tony Khan release this?
Maybe it had something to do with Punk talking about it a few days prior? Crazy pills. Glad its out, no more speculation.
Punk calling the place a joke, going back to the company that treated him with a quack doc that z-pak him till he shit himself and fired him on his wedding day, now has to be on his best behavior because he can't big time people more relevant and important than him and kowtow to Triple H. Good for him.

Meltzer is a shameless AEW water carrier. Fuck Meltz.

Wow, and they really built this up. By the way, do you see Punk immediately going for the title when he is ready?
I think he's gonna beat Drew and then go after Priest.
