Eric Bischoff, qui ne gêne pas (tout comme Jim Cornette) pour critiquer la AEW, a déclaré la semaine dernière que CM Punk est le plus gros échec financier de l’histoire de la lutte. Et Tony Khan n’a vraiment pas apprécié.
L’ex-président de la WCW avait déclaré sur son podcast 83 Weeks que Punk ne valait pas l’investissement fait par la AEW.
En point de presse après Double or Nothing hier, Khan a – pour une des rares fois – perdu sa bonne humeur et soutenu que les propos de Bischoff étaient faux (“fu**ing bullshit).
Khan mentionne que Punk est le lutteur qui suscite le plus d’intéret dans l’histoire de la AEW, notamment au niveau des PPV.
“No one wrestler has come in and made a bigger plus-delta difference on my company, whether it was All Out where he was a huge part of the draw with Darby, the biggest draw in the history of Rampage, the match with MJF and that Punk is the reason AEW won the Friday Night War. Khan filled his response with expletives which made him come across as both passionate and on tilt. He yelled, “This f–ing guy, he fu–ing did the Friday night war, he did the First Dance, he’s done the record Double or Nothing, he did the record All Out in his debut, he was a big part of the record Full Gear, great match with Eddie Kingston and fu–in’, he’s wrestled a bunch of young guys and veterans in between there, Will Hobbs and Daniel Garcia goddamn it..” He finished with ” he’s the biggest part of the financial success of this company, Let’s fu—ing go!”
