   It's funny to see so many wrestling fans rewriting history to fit that false narrative, asking if CM Punk can exist in WWE. My guy, CM Punk thrived in WWE for no less than nine years. Gee, maybe AEW was the problem, not him. I realise tribal bootlickers may not want to believe that; they'd rather believe billionaire Tony Khan genuinely feared for his life. #CMPunk #WWE #AEW #ProWrestling #wrestling

     @sharan As I said, the idea of "letting loose" is a little absurd considering how he adhered to the corporate culture for no less than nine years, even though it eventually literally almost killed him in its exploitation - so he probably could have "let loose" a little more. As for wanting fame and fortune, the same could be applied to any wrestler, never mind one who knows his worth, the value of top contracts, and is pro-unionisation. AEW was exposed, and its billionaire owner's mask slipped.

     @theleftfist CM Punk will exist anywhere where ego can be fed and he can let loose.

     Plus, the cash.

     @sharan I'm not sure what that means, though. People say that without offering evidence, largely because the dirtsheet narrative has become the dominant one. Similar to Bret, Punk's consistently expressed the he may speak and regret it later, that he makes mistakes, and gets things wrong. I get the impression that Tony Khan and his EVPs would die before once accepting responsibility for anything, even though they're at the top of their hierarchy.

     @theleftfist "Let loose" in terms of his ego selfboosting.

     @sharan That's great. Regardless of anyone's perspective, readership is always appreciated - as is respectful, constructive discussion. Especially since, as you rightly say, there can be a lot of irrational tribalism! Thanks!

     @theleftfist The article is on my reading list, I have to say. I think there must be a lot of clans in AEW and it doesn't do anyone any favors.
