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

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.
