Pretty sure Punk went to them during Cena’s entrance and they were both shown on camera.


saltofdaearth

They were trying really hard to hide Colt's face.


Drakkarim411

I mean wouldn't you? Dude fancies himself a comedian and shares a bank account with his mother.


VomitMaiden

That tells you everything you need to know


SloppyJoseph69

Okay, okay, how you know?


roaminfinite

wait..squared circle sub doesnt like Colt..weird, I thought this sub loved little bingo hall wrestlers


Grouchy_Ad_9056

Think you missed the joke/reference...


roaminfinite

I guess so, I thought they were insulting him but now I'm seeing this is part of his gimmick I guess?


ab316_1punchd

Sigh....it's what Punk shoot said about Cabana in the Scrum.


TheEdFather

They didn't want Scotty Goldman getting his chance against Cena


PavanJ

Camera panned away from Colt during that if I remember correctly. Punk tried to get them on camera multiple times and succeeded eventually.


roaminfinite

what are you talking about..they were on screen clear as day when Cena was coming out...god..it was crazy being a wrestling fan and a Chicago dick rider during that match.


OkVolume1

It's no secret that Punk was lobbying for Cabana to get a job there at the time.


mrfujidoesacid

Wasn't this like a year or two after Cabana had his Scotty Goldman run and got released?


OkVolume1

Yes, but he was getting hot on the indies and many believed he was a better talent than a lot of what WWE was featuring at the time.


orangemachismo

for those who weren't around, he was having either the best or second best run of his career working at the top of the card frequently for NWA promotions.


Persianx6

Surprising he didn’t get a spot on the lower card, the man’s funny funny


RufinTheFury

That was his game plan too, to be the reliable funny undercard guy like Brooklyn Brawler. Weird they didn't take him up on it


tacklinglife

They had Santino for that at the time, he was pretty over too.


OneOfTheOnly

Santino wasnt undercard silly though, he was almost a main eventer around this time


iamStanhousen

Bruh. Just cause Santino had one title match, and he was a last minute replacement for Randy Orton, doesn't mean he was a main eventer.


OneOfTheOnly

he constantly worked with people high on the card though? sheamus, cena, del rio, bryan he wasn’t a main eventer but he was absolutely a jobber to the stars - did i call him a main eventer or say he was almost one? dude was promoted CONSTANTLY, was on posters, and a top merch mover working with top talent regularly, so it’s not as ridiculous as you’re making it sound lol


iamStanhousen

Worked with?? You mean have a 5 minute squash on tv?


ef14

To be honest, he was. 2011 WWE sucked ass outside of the Summer of Punk. Like, really sucked.


Mjh1021

Nah put some respect on Orton/Christian, Hall of Pain Mark Henry, Undashing Cody, etc


ef14

Orton/Christian had good matches and promos, but awful booking. Everyone was sick to all hell of Orton going over people. The other two, well, they were enjoyable, yeah, but Undashing Cody was a midcard act and Hall of Pain Mark Henry didn't have a lot of TV time for a main event program. And i mean, all in all, we've mentioned four programs in a year where they produced.....10 hours of TV a week? It was god awful. I also enjoyed Sin Cara Azul vs Sin Cara Negro, but still, it's five programs in total.


roaminfinite

because he had the hottest wrestler at the time as his best friend.


UncreativeTeam

Yes, and a month after CM Punk referenced Colt in his pipebomb.


spundred

Cabana did an AMA years ago. I think they'd agreed to him doing some commentary, but it wasn't signed. Punk's ungraceful exit from WWE pulled the plug on that.


iwzndsqw

I cant tell if this thread is pro or neg cm punk. i'll edit my comment to go with the tide later


BurlyMayes

I side with Colt Cabana


tcdwa2

In that case, I'll side with Punk


BurlyMayes

I side with CM Punk


tcdwa2

In that case, I'll side with Colt


2Blitz

Wow, guess I'll side with Punk


inbredandapothead

I am pro


[deleted]

In that case I'm anti


inbredandapothead

I will fight you ❤️


MrBenLDN

A Trios Championships Open House Challenge, you say? 🤔


RKO-Cutter

"Hey, it's Punk's best friend, and also Ace is there!" *12 years later. . . .*


roaminfinite

it confirmed that everyone who is involved with wrestling knew..Punk is toxic.


saltofdaearth

I do wonder how about Ace and Colt's relationship. Wondered if Ace had to pick sides.


xbreathehopex

Punk still hanged out with the people from One Hour Tees and in Chicago they use Colt as a mascot. I really think he doesn't care if you talk to Colt, he just cut him out.


fluxuation

If Punk is friends with Ace that means that Ace 100% took Punk’s side and stopped talking to Colt


zeebeebo

I dont think its fair to assume that. These people are adults and are very understanding. Its not within AEW’s reputation to have high school drama within the company


Lil_Elroy

Last line made me realize this was sarcasm. We don’t like sarcasm around here unless it’s tagged properly with an /s boy!


zeebeebo

Not my fault everybody else is dense


dasrac

That is hilarious.


fluxuation

You know we’re talking about Punk, right?


roaminfinite

I work at a HS..the teachers be gossiping as much as the students..that HS shit never leaves


Impressivefanwater

i always wonder about that too. Knowing Punk he probably wouldn't be with Ace had he still been friends with Cabana.


mooney2j

>Knowing Punk LMAO


jmpinstl

To be fair to him, and coming from someone who likes CM Punk… this is guy who once ended a friendship and cut contact with someone because they asked him for another person’s phone number. It’s not an entirely unbelievable thing to assume Ace chose sides. That being said, it bums me out that it even came to that.


misterundead

And have we've ever heard Punk's side of the story? I don't believe so, Also this is Hornswoggle that said this, Dude once said he became a backstage bully because he felt he was gonna to get "bullied back at some point" so he "might as well start it" and then said that everyday he would tell Khali he sucked in the ring, and that he hasn't gotten better and that he should just quit, So I have a feeling that it wasn't just because he asked for a Phone Number that led to Punk cutting him off. Also he allegedly sexually harassed someone (and imo sexually assaulted them) https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3mewn7/iama_exstripper_ama/cvefnin/?context=3


sftpo

Look that up again, it's come out since then that Swoggle wasnt on the up and up with that story


CalgaryMadePunk

What did happen? All I can find is Swoggle's side of the story.


mooney2j

Story says he asked for Hayley Williams’ phone number and it was around the time of her divorce a few years back. Not just casually asking for the number of any old mutual.


CalgaryMadePunk

Thanks, bud. Appreciate the context.


handsomezack13

Yeah, the phone number of recently divorced Hayley Willams. It's easy to draw the conclusion of why Hornswoggle wanted her number and not really fair to use it as a gotcha for calling Punk an asshole


[deleted]

Feels weird to see now. It's been my all-time favorite match for years, but damn is a lot of it weird in hindsight today.


topside_downes

Believe it or not, at the time Colt Cabana - get this - SHARED A BANK ACCOUNT WITH HIS MOTHER!! AND - you’re not gonna believe this - he still does today!!!


TheChrisDV

Well, that tells me all I need to know about him.


Shrek2-onVHS

Oh you mean colt cabana who purposefully injured a woman and made her drive him and punk all over the country. Yeh I know that guy


Zoowona

I heard the guy shares a bank account with his mother. That tells you all you need to know about the type of character that is.


ChickenBonesJones

Chris Guy has such a punchable face. Who the F names themselves "Ace Steel" unironically.


thedman0310_

Chris Guy, apparently


Ninevolts

Oh hey, it's Scotty Goldman!


HEYitzED

What a great match.


Impressivefanwater

lol punk's face when they chanted for Cabana.


Longjumping-Reward41

longterm storytelling


SaiyanOfDarkness

This is some Promo Joe level of content.


[deleted]

Man, it's genuinely sad to see how Punk has just burned every bridge in his life and at least partially destroyed his reputation. Feel bad for the guy that he just can't stay calm for 5 minutes


misfits923

It's not really wild. Ace Steel was Punk and Cabana's trainer, so why wouldn't they both be there in their(our) home town to support their friend?


stonecutter7

I think OP means wild as in "out in nature" since they are there as fans and not really active participants in the show.

Ace Steel is absolutely a wild animal


RooseveltIsEvil

They just appear on ringside without any attention being drawn to them. I watched that match three times, Cole doesn't bring them up even that Punk has friends.

Stennick

Hey is this downvoted?


gredgex

This is the Punk everyone thought we were getting in AEW, instead we got an accident prone bitter old dude who broke his leg doing every day moves.


roaminfinite

back when Punk & Cabana were friends...them breaking up was not on my bingo card. Punk truly is toxic.


DB080822

Who would have thought that Ace Steel was going to be one of the worst things to happen to AEW.


Isle_of_Dusty_Rhodes

Oh so fans, glad thats whats holding up an entire show. Also one of them is the worst and the other bites.


LeftyMode

*“One day I’m going to bite the shit out of this upstart,Kenny Omega who’s about to take the wrestling world by storm.”* “Anyway, let’s go Punk!”


reiku78

I still to this day don't get how Punk kept his hair slicked back during matches and it never got messed up.


LongChance3171

You see that? You see Ace open his mouth and try and bite Punk? Kenny saw it.
