The crowd really gives it to him. Credit to Tony for going out there and doing this.

Regardless of what has happened before, fair play to TK for going out and talking to the crowd and not hiding behind the curtain.

It's going to be very interesting to see how they change Collision after this. The fake-title stuff was a mess, as posted about more than enough times. Hopefully they'll replace the time wasted on that with more women's matches.

Chicago crowds are going to be awful for years.

They were fine last night. They started out a little hostile, but they forgot about that pretty quick once Danielson showed up.

I saw Collision since posting and I was surprised, too. Though they still hate The Elite from what we heard near the end there. I'll wait with my judgment until I hear the PPV crowd tonight though.

Yeah, I think The Elite are definitely going to have heat in Chicago for a while. They're going to be the scapegoats for Punk fans.

@sdcspade

On FITE after the show a be the elite chant went up that was 2-3x as loud. I don’t think it’s gonna be a thing, especially after the crowd chanted, “oh cry me a river” tonight.

Remind me to never go away for a week what did I miss??? o_O

Complete and utter chaos 🙃

Long story short: Tony's legal team unanimously recommended he fire Punk for his actions at All In (the fight with Perry; Punk's confrontation with TK; and Brawl Out too, I'm sure). Tony took the recommended action and now Punk is gone.

So you're saying I can never go away again :p

I wouldn't risk it. The wrestling gods clearly want you here. And knowing them, the punishment for leaving could be worse next time. Like TK-naming-Goldberg-head-of-talent-development worse… 😬

Guess that's why he made sure to do a pre-tape for broadcast, knowing there was zero chance he'd wanna air the live reaction lol.

Hahaha I’m proud of a billionaire what the fuck man

I can't believe it either lol. Have you seen what he said about the Saudis and soccer? That made me respect him even more.

He was asked how he felt about Saudi's getting into soccer and he answered: "I think with enough money you can get away with anything, including murder."

Here's the tweet and video
