In wake of CM Punk going off-script on "AEW Dynamite" and reportedly being unhappy, a number of top AEW stars are now allegedly "close to their breaking point."

This is why you can't run a promotion as a fanboy. TK uses random people HE likes, just like Vince but you sell AEW as this greener pasture to the WWE guys who should have but didn't get pushes and then sit on the sideline not being used while OC and Best Friends are out there every week. I mean they have a pisspoor womens division, and they still insist on trotting Jade out there as Goldberg with the same level of greenness that he had instead of having her lose to somebody and keep training on Dark/DE.
Saw some report about TK and Punk having a meeting before Dynamite, they need to be careful with all these "works". The dudes in the back don't enjoy being worked, and I think this is all a big one to get Punk some nuclear heel heat. They are trying to get that Bret/HBK level of these guys hate eachother going with Punk/Page...Problem is that neither guy is at that level to care enough about. I enjoy Punk alot, but he's been here for a hot minute. Since we got us an old school fanboy running shit, maybe we are on the verge of a Hogan style NWO stable turn with Punk leaning into the heel role better then Hogan.
Back to my first point, things haven't been roses there for the last few months, very little of that is due to Punk who's been gone. Shit booking has hurt alot of talent, and the refusal to give up on bad champions just hurts your product. Rosa is a dud, she's awful. Page was terrible and held the belt for months past when he should have dropped it (Bryan II), TNT belt has been trash for at least a year, and does anybody actually get excited for Swerve in your Glory?
I laughed more about the tweet TK put out about people bitching about the dudes he's pushed that supposedly nobody wanted that worked out bringing up Acclaimed, 2.0/Garcia, and Ass Boys. Anybody with a brain knew the Acclaimed had star power all over them with Bowens the athlete and Max being there, 2.0 weren't doing shit til JAS and got no reactions despite being on TV every week, Garcia got the benefit of working against stars to help elevate him but again, anybody could have seen the talent there. And Ass Boys? I still don't want to see them...they are awful in the ring and only have crowd reactions thanks to Danhausen (Who loses every match, you know like OC should).
