     This podcast episode asked what part "dirtsheets" have in perpetuating false narratives by following one another for second-hand information, the original source of which is dependent on a small yet influential locker room clique that ensured CM Punk would be booed by AEW crowds: https://www.patreon.com/posts/archive-17-06-23-87779537?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

     And that brings us to this latest podcast episode from this past week - on CM Punk's interview with The MMA Hour and AEW's reactionary and counter-productive release of security camera footage from Wembley Stadium: https://www.patreon.com/posts/working-week-24-102152360?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
