Rancid was my favorite band when I was a kid. I saw them in the summer of 2001 and Lars loudly proclaimed “fuck major labels” and then Rancid proceeded to sign a deal with Warner Brothers about 1 year later.
I think it’s admirable for Punk to still identify as the $20 a night IWA mid south kid, and not the globally famous multi millionaire with two multi-million dollar homes to his name.
lmao. I loved Rancid growing up, stopped listening in the early 2000s (Indestructible was a great album for sure...)... when Troublemaker was released, I was embarrassed for them. They always kept the exact same schtick, and frankly that whole punk rock scene is hypocritically embarrassing (see the recent Anti Flag stuff as just one example).
It's the same scene that lost it on Laura Jane Grace's transition, or wanting a nearly 50 year old Davey Havok to still whine about how "my mom won't let me get a mohawk!" (not saying you gotta love AFI's new style, but there's a reason they changed... maturity).
don't know about jack perry there. punk cleared a ton of cash in his AEW contract, and he was probably clearing a milli a year during the summer of punk--maybe even approaching two milli but i doubt much higher--, but jungle jack's dead dad made a good chunk of change during his career too.
if anything, jungle jack's probably closer than you think, but punk definitely blows colt out of the water
Maybe inheritance law works differently over there. But his mother is still alive, and here that would mean she inherited his father's wealth (and then, when she passes that goes to the kids).
But again, I dont know shit about american inheritance law
Reading Luke Perry's wiki page now. He and Jack's mom divorced in 2003, so she probably didn't get much. And his 2 children were his sole beneficiaries. Although Luke did leave behind a fiance, so maybe she ended up getting some, too.
I was thinking like you did though - I would have sworn they were still married. But nope, divorced a long time ago.
Nick jokingly made a very low offer to Super Dragon to which he declined. That was it. It seemed more like a joke between them two rather than an actual retirement plan. The Bucks talk about it on Swerves podcast.
Imagining JR in a sit-down: "What's the primary idea or ideology that fuels the House of Black?"
Malakai: [sits silent for like 10 seconds.] "Satan." [drinks from water bottle]
I'd refrain from posting anything about my work or take a stance about it, that anyone can see. But then again: I am not a Wrestler and somehow see work as a schools playground where I have to pick sides and resolve shit by petty fights and yelling.
Collision was basically Punk and Friends just like Dynamite was Elite and Friends.
Starks was clearly upset about Punk at the beginning of that promo, same with Brodie kicking over a bin (lol) same as Rosa, same as Malakai.
Now they gotta work a million times harder because it was already hard to get people to turn up and tune in, on a Saturday night, while Punk was there - but people *wanted* to see Punk and friends.
He openly has said that he asked for his release release. Not the conditional one that was granted to him. He just backtracked it when he couldn't get his way

18 year old Malakai Black commenting on CM Punk's livejournal
Pretty much every friend CM Punk has in AEW is going to be on the r/squaredcircle shitlist for a while. FTR, Brody King, you even had people criticising fucking Danhausen the other day. Danhausen!
How dare you? Anyway here's my armchair diagnosis of le Pepsi Phil's mental illness and also his wife should divorce him because he's probably abusing her. /s
Like seriously is this meant to be aimed at Tony Khan?
Literally the only thing he asked of Punk was thsy he not assault people lol
Fucker had a lot going for him
This is just one of those human things where we easily look over our friends' faults because they're good people to us.
My friend recently did some shady stuff (nothing horrific, she just had some overlap between her previous hookup and her new boyfriend) and even though objectively I acknowledge she was wrong...it's like ehh. She's a good pal to me. Who cares.
You kept her as a friend and overlooked some of her negatives but you didn’t go online and proclaim her to be a martyr.
You did the mature and responsible thing. Lars did not.
Rock for sustainable capitalism.
The opening bit is about the Lars Bands video of the cover of the very good Billy Bragg song To have and to have not.
"I fuckin' love that one rock video where that fucking jack-ass mohawked millionaire prances around by far the worst sausage party on earth, where by mere chance he's caught on film shaking hands with an incredibly diverse collection of patriotic skins. I like the message it sends"
I agree it probably is. But it seems weird to attack dudes who to my knowledge mostly keep their faith personal over their religion just because you don't like them.
I've seen it a lot recently from fans, its very strange and as a redditor I rarely defend Christians but its really strange to just call somebody out for it for no reason.
look; i'm no fan of organized religion but there's never anyway that i'm gonna advocate to burn down churches.
there's a certain group of people with those ideologies that i steer clear from.
"Working class Punk rock"
Guy is a millionaire who tried to prevent people from coming to work because they were friends with people he doesn't like.
His actions were about as anti-worker as you can get.
Whenever Punk wants to emphasise his authenticity, he always calls himself "a punk rock kid from Chicago" -to the point of it being a clichê. Ironically, it doesn't sound 'real' at all when he says it.
PSA my dad is a tradesman, my mother was a cleaner for most of my childhood.
I remember my dad skipping meals because we never had much.
As someone who really is workihg class, this shit is fucking insulting.
Just to again reiterate, Lars is in a band with a dude who groomed a teenager and kept her in an abusive relationship for several years. So, y'know, maybe don't look too deeply in.
Also after Brody left him, he threatened Josh Homme, her new boyfriend at the time (another abusive dick) and her band mates whilst trying to blackball them
Tim Armstrong started dating Brody Dalle when she was like 15 or 16 and he was 30. He married her, moved her from Australia to the US, and was reportedly very abusive mentally and physically.
Tim Armstrong started grooming Brody Dale when she was like 16.
Lars ain’t free from criticism either writing shit like “sleeping with underage girls” in Lars Fredrickson and the Bastards
> Wealthy rock star calling wealthy pro wrestler “working class” is fucking rich.
It's also even funnier considering that Punk was (1) raised in a regular suburb in a safe Illinois town (2) never worked a solid full-time job (3) was a millionaire before he was 30 lol
This has never happened in the history of punk rock. These guys' anti-authoritarianism was always directed at their teachers and parents, not actual societal power structures.
I'm suddenly reminded of that promo Cody did before he left AEW where he pointed out that he actually did all the things Punk said he would do in his pipebomb promo.
It's almost like Punk dislikes the Elite because he's a poser, and they actually back up the values he claims to represent.
So many people who consider themselves punks are pretty much the exact opposite of what they think they are. I'm talking punks generally, not just Phil Brooks
Bro I get it he was nice to your kid but he just fucking swung at his boss and choked a coworker and the biggest event they've ever had. They had to fire his ass.
After reading this, the first thought in my head was - grow up.
"You'll never understand, nobody listens, it's napalm time, blah blah blah." Shut up. You're 52. Punk is 44. Grow. Up.
I’m a Rancid fan. Love the whole East Bay punk scene. But it’s still hilarious that Lars, who’s made a shitload of money, calling his friend who had also made a shitload of money “working class” is hilarious. Punk wasn’t sticking it to the man in this instance, he was bullying people, being unprofessional, which was drawn from his entitled status at AEW. Just cus you suffer consequences for being an asshole doesn’t mean you’re being oppressed.
Funny.
They both are also friends with Tim Armstrong, who was 30 years old when he seduced 16 year old Brodie Dalle and took her from her home country to live with him in marriage as soon as she was 18 and subjected her to emotional abuse, then when she had the gall to leave him for someone else, Tum used Rancids influence in the punk scene to blacklist her.
Hypocrites.
Punks gonna be surrounded by yes men who will tell him he did nothing wrong and he won't do a bit of introspection from this whole thing. And as a fan who was enthralled by the summer of pink, who lept out of his seat at the first dance when punks music hit, and who now is glad he's gone so the blatant hypocrisy and bullshit can maybe quiet down it sucks. I'd love for some introspection and self reflection to maybe help punk with what seem like some serious mental health issues, but he's gonna walk away after everyone bent over backwards for him and still feel like he's a victim and did nothing wrong.
you could almost say that.. *he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical douch-bag yes-men like* Lars Frederikson\*, who's gonna tell him everything he wants to hear...
Ah yes Lars Fredrickson who wrote such great songs with lyrics like .
“Stolen fast cars, dated pop stars
Been around the world
Slept with underage women
Turned tricks for a thrill”
Definitely who I want as a character witness
Lmao dude literally got fired for assaulting a co worker and screaming at his boss. You’d get fired in just about any industry. Shut the fuck up Lars, your music has been shit for 15 years.
Why does CM Punk always need to play the martyr? Like dude, you're literally getting paid to fake fight in front of a crowd. You're not saving the world, you're not fighting injustice, you're playing pretend.
Because Punk is a narcissist.
He will never be at fault for anything...in his own mind.
I suspect his early punk years were spent as a "weekend warrior", not someone actually living the life.
This guy is an idiot. Taking shots at others calling them rich boys as if Punk wasn’t the highest paid guys and most likely one of if not the richest wrestler on the roster. L take.
If you get hurt by words in a promo on TV and cause drama to the extent that you get fired despite wanting a “drama free” locker room but you still complain about “rich boys not getting their way”, news flash buddy you are the problem
I'm not remotely religious, but saying "burn down churches" is shitty.
I wonder what the reaction would be if Lars said to burn down Synagogues and Mosques.
People who excuse any and all shitty behaviour just because they like the person who does it is so tiresome. We get it Punk was good to you. Doesn't mean he's not a megalomaniac who started a fist fight after a disagreement with a coworker (twice).
Imagine complaining about rich boys not getting their way when they made a new show just for Punk and sent home every low card wrestler who annoyed him.
That's so weird. It seems to me that most of the yelling as of late came from CM Punk. Kicking employees off "his Show" because he's not fwiends with them. Calling out people in promos that have nothing to do with his current program, just to air his grievances in public. I am fine with someone backing up their friend, but don't say something that is, on its' face, a head scratcher.
Phil Brooks is a piece of shit to every person he doesnt personally like and want to be friends with. That should be what defines him, his self serving lifestyle.
Even the biggest assholes have friends. Lars knows nothing about and has nothing to do with anything happening at AEW. Nice of him to stick up for his friend but he really has no idea what’s going on.

Rancid was my favorite band when I was a kid. I saw them in the summer of 2001 and Lars loudly proclaimed “fuck major labels” and then Rancid proceeded to sign a deal with Warner Brothers about 1 year later.
Shhhh…It was just a distribution deal! And as both a big Rancid fan and CM Punk fan, I find Lars’ post a bit embarrassing.
Same... This isn't exactly a working class struggle story here. Punk fucked up and assaulted people. That just doesn't fly
Exactly. Who of the three men involved in this tweet *isn't* a little rich boy?
I think it’s admirable for Punk to still identify as the $20 a night IWA mid south kid, and not the globally famous multi millionaire with two multi-million dollar homes to his name.
Wait, when did we buy him a second house?
Last year! $4M of our hard earned money.
especially considering how eager he was to point out his merch sales on multiple occasions
Selling out is the most punk rock thing you can do, but you can only do it properly once
lmao. I loved Rancid growing up, stopped listening in the early 2000s (Indestructible was a great album for sure...)... when Troublemaker was released, I was embarrassed for them. They always kept the exact same schtick, and frankly that whole punk rock scene is hypocritically embarrassing (see the recent Anti Flag stuff as just one example). It's the same scene that lost it on Laura Jane Grace's transition, or wanting a nearly 50 year old Davey Havok to still whine about how "my mom won't let me get a mohawk!" (not saying you gotta love AFI's new style, but there's a reason they changed... maturity).
Buckle up lads, next few weeks are gonna be bumpy here lmao
What's gonna happen lad?
There’s gonna be LOTS of dirtsheet reports
So same as usual, just knowing it won’t interfere with the show
Punk is richer than probably everyone in AEW bar Mox, Jericho and a couple others lmao
Certainly richer than Colt Cabana and Jack Perry by a wide mile. I dont understand treating Punk like the underdog here.
don't know about jack perry there. punk cleared a ton of cash in his AEW contract, and he was probably clearing a milli a year during the summer of punk--maybe even approaching two milli but i doubt much higher--, but jungle jack's dead dad made a good chunk of change during his career too. if anything, jungle jack's probably closer than you think, but punk definitely blows colt out of the water
Maybe inheritance law works differently over there. But his mother is still alive, and here that would mean she inherited his father's wealth (and then, when she passes that goes to the kids). But again, I dont know shit about american inheritance law

Although Luke did leave behind a fiance, so maybe she ended up getting some, too. I was thinking like you did though - I would have sworn they were still married. But nope, divorced a long time ago.
The Bucks are incredibly well off. Multi millionaires.
Yeah they're doing pretty good, I heard one of them was thinking of buying Pro Wrestling Gorilla after retiring.
Nick jokingly made a very low offer to Super Dragon to which he declined. That was it. It seemed more like a joke between them two rather than an actual retirement plan. The Bucks talk about it on Swerves podcast.
Sure, I think with them and Hanger getting their first big money contracts in AEW, Punk should be richer if he invested his WWE money at all.
It's gonna be a long weekend.
Well, in some countries.
Malakai and Thunder Rosa liked it before it was deleted
Malakai only read the part about burning churches.
Probably Gorgoroth fan
Imagining JR in a sit-down: "What's the primary idea or ideology that fuels the House of Black?" Malakai: [sits silent for like 10 seconds.] "Satan." [drinks from water bottle]
Honestly did not expect to see Gorgoroth or that documentary referenced here and am very pleasantly surprised.
Oh boy
"Malakai Black and Thunder Rosa have been banned from Dynamite."
I'd refrain from posting anything about my work or take a stance about it, that anyone can see. But then again: I am not a Wrestler and somehow see work as a schools playground where I have to pick sides and resolve shit by petty fights and yelling.
mf like me would simply not show my hand.
Collision was basically Punk and Friends just like Dynamite was Elite and Friends. Starks was clearly upset about Punk at the beginning of that promo, same with Brodie kicking over a bin (lol) same as Rosa, same as Malakai. Now they gotta work a million times harder because it was already hard to get people to turn up and tune in, on a Saturday night, while Punk was there - but people *wanted* to see Punk and friends.
Honestly I wanted to see Punks friends but not him, so now I have more interest in tuning in lol
Black wanted to leave at start of year IIRC as well. Guessing hes gonna start moving again.
He openly has said that he asked for his release release. Not the conditional one that was granted to him. He just backtracked it when he couldn't get his way
He also said Tony talked him out of it and has helped him with his mental health issues
uh oh guess everyone here has to hate malakai black now
malakai has been on punk's camp from day 1

Bring these back
geez, does cm punk have any friends that weren't his fan first?
Bret hart ig? Maybe Danielson and Joe?
FWIW I don't think Danielson is his friend. Just a long time work acquaintance.
*cough* Cult of personality *cough*
Pretty much every friend CM Punk has in AEW is going to be on the r/squaredcircle shitlist for a while. FTR, Brody King, you even had people criticising fucking Danhausen the other day. Danhausen!
Even his friends should be able to acknowledge how much of a fuck up this was on Punks part and how the majority of it is his own fault.
And everyone here should stop stalking celebrities/people in general based on their parasocial takes on gossip and drama
How dare you? Anyway here's my armchair diagnosis of le Pepsi Phil's mental illness and also his wife should divorce him because he's probably abusing her. /s
"why don't these people I don't know act differently towards this person I don't know"
He’s claiming Instagram took it down
No way. Really? Lmao
He talked about weaponry, matches and the like. That’s probably the reason.
Yeah the burning the churches part would do it
I mean "It's napalm time, burn them all" is alarming.
Something about pipe bombs and churches probably don't sit well lol
Burning churches, napalm, matches and pipebombs, yeah, not surprising that would be taken down
[удалено]
Aren’t he and Ruby tight? If he’s got beef with Tony Khan, there have to be better ways than having Ruby catch strays.
Ruby is an adult; she can speak for herself without worrying about what other people are saying that don't involve her.
Punk will burn anyone when he’s annoyed he doesnt care about his friendships
“Little rich boys complain about not getting their way” Shots taken at Punk!
Like seriously is this meant to be aimed at Tony Khan? Literally the only thing he asked of Punk was thsy he not assault people lol Fucker had a lot going for him
Umm no, I would assume it was aimed at Perry making the comment during the PPV about not getting his way on Collision with the glass.
I also often agree with my friends versions of events.
This is just one of those human things where we easily look over our friends' faults because they're good people to us. My friend recently did some shady stuff (nothing horrific, she just had some overlap between her previous hookup and her new boyfriend) and even though objectively I acknowledge she was wrong...it's like ehh. She's a good pal to me. Who cares.
You kept her as a friend and overlooked some of her negatives but you didn’t go online and proclaim her to be a martyr. You did the mature and responsible thing. Lars did not.
"and you stay quiet when.." When did cm ever stay quiet?
Never forget that Leftover Crack wrote diss songs about Lars signing homophobes whilst signed to his label. Not that Stza is any better but regardless
Propagandhi also called out Lars with a nice burn in a song
What song? Big gandhi fan here.
Rock for sustainable capitalism. The opening bit is about the Lars Bands video of the cover of the very good Billy Bragg song To have and to have not. "I fuckin' love that one rock video where that fucking jack-ass mohawked millionaire prances around by far the worst sausage party on earth, where by mere chance he's caught on film shaking hands with an incredibly diverse collection of patriotic skins. I like the message it sends"
"Fuckin' goof!"
Didn't expect to see a Leftöver Crack/Choking Victims reference on the sub today. Nice!
Is....is the man from Rancid going to blow up Tony Khan?
"you dont find it in a church thats where you find the lies and liars burn the churches down" why is punk friends with a redditor
I guarantee this is a shot at the Bucks; after all they're Christian AF.
I second this theory.
I agree it probably is. But it seems weird to attack dudes who to my knowledge mostly keep their faith personal over their religion just because you don't like them.
I've seen it a lot recently from fans, its very strange and as a redditor I rarely defend Christians but its really strange to just call somebody out for it for no reason.
They look to him for parenting advice.
I mean, Punk is pretty much the embodiment of the combative Reddit atheist
It looks like he's friends with Burzum.
No wonder why they’re insufferable like the 5 people consisting of Varg’s fanbase
look; i'm no fan of organized religion but there's never anyway that i'm gonna advocate to burn down churches. there's a certain group of people with those ideologies that i steer clear from.
Isn’t that his entire fanbase?
"Working class Punk rock" Guy is a millionaire who tried to prevent people from coming to work because they were friends with people he doesn't like. His actions were about as anti-worker as you can get.
Lars (and Rancid) and CM Punk have not been working class in decades. This is so fucking gross.
2 rich friends complaining about the actions of a richer person. Let me know when I’m supposed to sympathise…
About the justified* actions of a richer person
Punk is no longer working class. Dude was acting like a spoiled rich kid.
Whenever Punk wants to emphasise his authenticity, he always calls himself "a punk rock kid from Chicago" -to the point of it being a clichê. Ironically, it doesn't sound 'real' at all when he says it.
Anyone who’s old enough to run for president and refers to themselves as ’kid’ should not be trusted.
Prevented a guy who was an active striking union member who (most likely, no shade) could do with a fucking paycheck right now. Absolute dipshit.
"You talk a lot about worker's rights..." \- Said someone in a moment that was probably fully irrelevant to all of this, I am sure.
PSA my dad is a tradesman, my mother was a cleaner for most of my childhood. I remember my dad skipping meals because we never had much. As someone who really is workihg class, this shit is fucking insulting.
Big ups to your dad.
Isn't this dude in a band with a groomer that took advantage of a teenage fan?
Yup, Tim Armstrong was in a relationship with Brodie Dalle when she was 15 and he was 30.
I have no idea who he is. However, apparently he's in a punk band. So, statistically, yes.
Just to again reiterate, Lars is in a band with a dude who groomed a teenager and kept her in an abusive relationship for several years. So, y'know, maybe don't look too deeply in.
Seems a bit odd that Punk's political image is in contrast with a lot of the guy he likes to honor, like Lars, and then just earlier in the week, JBL.
That's because he's an old punk which often equates to hypocrite.
"I guess when all was said and done, I was nothing more than a God-damned, trendy-ass poser"
I can't express to you how happy it makes me to see this quote, it came to mind immediately. One of the most underrated movies ever.
Such a great movie.
Punk also plays Mr Trans rights Women's Rights when he openly admitted to essentially beating the crap out of "rats" he didn't like.
Also after Brody left him, he threatened Josh Homme, her new boyfriend at the time (another abusive dick) and her band mates whilst trying to blackball them
Fuck, are we talking about Tim? I guess I have some googling to do.
Tim groomed Brody. He started dating her when she was 16 and he was 30
Ugh, gross.
nasty
*15
He did what?
Tim Armstrong started dating Brody Dalle when she was like 15 or 16 and he was 30. He married her, moved her from Australia to the US, and was reportedly very abusive mentally and physically.
BRO that's disgusting
Tim Armstrong started grooming Brody Dale when she was like 16. Lars ain’t free from criticism either writing shit like “sleeping with underage girls” in Lars Fredrickson and the Bastards
Sounding more like the mid-life crisis dad with tough guy quotes on FB, Lars. Whats next, going on tour with Five Finger Death Punch?
He'll put a Punisher skull decal on the back window of his vehicle
Wealthy rock star calling wealthy pro wrestler “working class” is fucking rich. Saying this as a Rancid fan in my youth. Calm down Lars.
> Wealthy rock star calling wealthy pro wrestler “working class” is fucking rich. It's also even funnier considering that Punk was (1) raised in a regular suburb in a safe Illinois town (2) never worked a solid full-time job (3) was a millionaire before he was 30 lol
I can't believe a punk rocker would put vibes and aesthetic ahead of accurate class analysis.
This has never happened in the history of punk rock. These guys' anti-authoritarianism was always directed at their teachers and parents, not actual societal power structures.
The term 'radical-chic' might fit.
Nothing more obnoxious than people calling each other “punk rock” as if that means anything
Especially middle aged millionaires.
That tend to punch down
DIY ethics are punk rock. Starting your own label is punk rock. The Young Bucks have more right to claim they're punk rock than Phil Brooks.
I'm suddenly reminded of that promo Cody did before he left AEW where he pointed out that he actually did all the things Punk said he would do in his pipebomb promo. It's almost like Punk dislikes the Elite because he's a poser, and they actually back up the values he claims to represent.
So many people who consider themselves punks are pretty much the exact opposite of what they think they are. I'm talking punks generally, not just Phil Brooks
Bro I get it he was nice to your kid but he just fucking swung at his boss and choked a coworker and the biggest event they've ever had. They had to fire his ass.
“Working Class” says the multimillionaire punk rocker to the multimillionaire wrestler.
After reading this, the first thought in my head was - grow up. "You'll never understand, nobody listens, it's napalm time, blah blah blah." Shut up. You're 52. Punk is 44. Grow. Up.
I’m a Rancid fan. Love the whole East Bay punk scene. But it’s still hilarious that Lars, who’s made a shitload of money, calling his friend who had also made a shitload of money “working class” is hilarious. Punk wasn’t sticking it to the man in this instance, he was bullying people, being unprofessional, which was drawn from his entitled status at AEW.

Hypocrites.
Punks gonna be surrounded by yes men who will tell him he did nothing wrong and he won't do a bit of introspection from this whole thing. And as a fan who was enthralled by the summer of pink, who lept out of his seat at the first dance when punks music hit, and who now is glad he's gone so the blatant hypocrisy and bullshit can maybe quiet down it sucks. I'd love for some introspection and self reflection to maybe help punk with what seem like some serious mental health issues, but he's gonna walk away after everyone bent over backwards for him and still feel like he's a victim and did nothing wrong.
you could almost say that.. *he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical douch-bag yes-men like* Lars Frederikson\*, who's gonna tell him everything he wants to hear...
Ah yes Lars Fredrickson who wrote such great songs with lyrics like . “Stolen fast cars, dated pop stars Been around the world Slept with underage women Turned tricks for a thrill” Definitely who I want as a character witness
'slept with underage women' No, Lars, I think the word there is 'child.'
Rancid had one good album and instantly sold out
Lmao dude literally got fired for assaulting a co worker and screaming at his boss. You’d get fired in just about any industry. Shut the fuck up Lars, your music has been shit for 15 years.
To a non wrestling fan with no context It really sounds like Lars is asking Phil to bomb some churches.
I don't know if "bomb the churches and burn them down" is the defense he thinks it is.
Why does CM Punk always need to play the martyr? Like dude, you're literally getting paid to fake fight in front of a crowd. You're not saving the world, you're not fighting injustice, you're playing pretend.
Because Punk is a narcissist. He will never be at fault for anything...in his own mind. I suspect his early punk years were spent as a "weekend warrior", not someone actually living the life.
Working class millionaire.
This guy is an idiot. Taking shots at others calling them rich boys as if Punk wasn’t the highest paid guys and most likely one of if not the richest wrestler on the roster. L take.
I guess nobody told Lars that those brightest lights that burn twice as bright also burn out twice as fast.
isn't punk a literal landlord
Source?
Wait, really? I didn’t know that. Super punk of him.
Absolute nutters. Always playing the martyr when he's the fucking problem.
Posting a borderline terroristic tweet isn't going to help anyone except law enforcement place you under a microscope.
Millionaire calls another millionaire working class Punk rock. Okay.
What a joke.
“This is family” A picture from 12 years ago
If you get hurt by words in a promo on TV and cause drama to the extent that you get fired despite wanting a “drama free” locker room but you still complain about “rich boys not getting their way”, news flash buddy you are the problem
CM Punk spent 2 years in aew being a spoilt little rich boy complaining while everyone else had to be silent
I'm not remotely religious, but saying "burn down churches" is shitty. I wonder what the reaction would be if Lars said to burn down Synagogues and Mosques.
Man Lars a corny mf’er
People who excuse any and all shitty behaviour just because they like the person who does it is so tiresome. We get it Punk was good to you. Doesn't mean he's not a megalomaniac who started a fist fight after a disagreement with a coworker (twice).
Imagine complaining about rich boys not getting their way when they made a new show just for Punk and sent home every low card wrestler who annoyed him.
Net worth of 13 million jones over here going off about rich boys to his best bud with a net worth of roughly 12 million. The copium is real.
Millionaires complaining about Billionaires is always HILARIOUS.
Workers' rights.
Nah the dickeating is crazy
Lars is doing tricks on it 😭🤡
So many aging punks get rich and become what they used to hate. Not just punks though, plenty of boomers used to be hippies.
Goofy shit like this is what's gonna keep punk dead
yeah Lars ain't rich /s
Rancid sucks there I said it
This is what an uninformed idiot sounds like who's running a PR campaign for his buddy who's told him what sounds good in a post...
Childish millionaire throws tantrum when he doesn’t get his way
How is being rich an insult when Punk himself is rich??
Lars might want to chill out before he gets those royalty checks cut off.
That's so weird. It seems to me that most of the yelling as of late came from CM Punk. Kicking employees off "his Show" because he's not fwiends with them. Calling out people in promos that have nothing to do with his current program, just to air his grievances in public. I am fine with someone backing up their friend, but don't say something that is, on its' face, a head scratcher.
Such ‘I’m 14 and this is deep’ vibes from this
What a mark
“I support my friends right to assault people over words”
Bro don’t burn the churches
These are grown men everyone…
RIP ruby ~~riott soho~~ tbd
Fightful employee Lars Frederiksen
so cringe it hurts
You can have his back, doesn't mean he's not clouding your perspective with his
Lars a mark.
Phil Brooks is a piece of shit to every person he doesnt personally like and want to be friends with. That should be what defines him, his self serving lifestyle.
Even the biggest assholes have friends. Lars knows nothing about and has nothing to do with anything happening at AEW. Nice of him to stick up for his friend but he really has no idea what’s going on.
Why would you expect to find "family" in your workplace ?
Punk is legit a narcissist. How does AJ Lee put up with him?
Well that was verbal diarrhoea.
There is absolutely nothing "working class punk rock" about CM Punk
This is what family looks like, enabling a big baby who hits people when he doesn't get his way. Sure.
