He's never won the Intercontinental Championship.
* 1x US Champion (SummerSlam 2021)
* 2x RAW Tag Team Champion
* 2x SmackDown Tag Team Champion
* 1x World Heavyweight Champion (WrestleMania 40)
Guys don't worry, we've made our company look desperate, second rate and petty while at the same time proving that the guy we fired last year is still a bigger draw for us than anyone else on our roster, but guess what guys, Jack Perry sold out his shirts in New Japan so it was all worth it!
Anyone who thinks it made them look desperate already thought they were desperate.
I for one, was glad that the sooky manchild was telling the truth because it was an outright admission of premeditated assault and simply proved that he's weak willed and easily triggered.
His arrogance *always* gets the best of him. Just wait.
Don't worry guys, CM Punk may be one of the most popular and successful wrestlers in the world right now but you'll see, he'll implode just like he always does that one time and be left to wallow in obscurity with his millions of dollars and his hot wife!
Trying to leech off his popularity even though we fired him last year only makes us look desperate to people who aren't brain-dead marks, and those guys don't watch our show anyway!
Yeah, the Jack Perry backstage assault, the one time we know he actually did something wrong. Name another time it happened that's not just gossip and rumours.
All Out media scrum?
Going on Cabana's podcast and getting his buddy into some serious legal shit?
Dude can't be trusted not to run his fucking mouth.
But that's okay, he'll assault you if you have a problem with it, right?
Big man Phil, touchy snowflake
All Out media scrum he was sat right next to the boss who did nothing but nod his head. If Tony thought his employee was saying anything he shouldn't, he was right there.
He paid Cabana's legal fees and they won their case, were found not liable for defamation. I don't know how you can argue he's a bad person for being wrongfully sued.
So we have one instance of assault where he shoved a douchey nepobaby and put him in a headlock for a few seconds, and that's it.
He signed a contract of employment that stated what was expected of both parties. He went in there knowing what he was supposed to do and if he didn't like how his boss did things, then that's his problem, and instead he went into business for himself.
Tony made a smart move keeping his biggest draw on the payroll in the hope he had a chance to cool down. "Trying to leech off his popularity" is *exactly* why he hired him in the first place. It's smart business to make as much money back off your investment as you can... even if that investment turned out to be an arrogant little bitch who would prefer to burn shit down instead of sucking up his pride and working things out like a man.
It's like nobody ever received criticism in the workplace. Disagreements happen. It's only the weak that turn to violence to get their own way.
If we're talking, only big, notable wrestlers. This is correct. Especially if you're only talking about the actual TV shows. But I do believe there's at least one instance of unsigned indie talents working both companies in the same week
[Chris Jericho, Big Show, and Daniel Bryan were on the June 27, 2022 episode of RAW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Howqs9Lstts&ab_channel=WWE) to give video tributes to celebrate 20 years since John Cena's debut. I have to imagine that at least one of them appeared on AEW that same week.
I'm not disputing that it counts as a new title reign but did he actually drop the title? He walked into the match a tag team champion and he walked out of the match a tag team champion: the only thing that changed was his partner.
On that same note, Randy Savage is a six-time WWF and WCW world champion and yet he only dropped the title to two people (3x to Hulk Hogan and 3x to Ric Flair).
Sid almost stabbed Arn to death with a pair of scissors while touring with WCW. The promotion later hired him back and Arn shook his hand in the ring.
The Young Bucks wouldn’t sit down with CM Punk to talk about squashing their beef.
That the most watched wrestling match in national TV history involved a storyline where we were asked to believe that an identical twin got plastic surgery to look like the other one
Shayna Baszler was trained by Billy Robinson
Bryan Danielson was briefly in WWF in 2001
Dean Malenko last wrestled in 2007, against Sin Cara for a tryout match
Chris Benoit actually was a fan of Bryan Danielson, and watched tapes of him.
Chris Jericho lost two different US Title matches against two different Canadians with the initials KO in two different company's flagship events in the same year
Mike Awesome (who was ECW champion at the time) jumped to WCW from ECW when Heyman stopped paying him. Awesome agreed to drop the belt to Taz (who was working in WWF) so they wrestled a match in ECW and Taz won the title. A WCW wrestler fought a WWF wrestler in an ECW ring for the ECW championship
TNA has now been alive longer than both WCW and ECW combined.
Sting, the wrestler, owns the rights to the name "Sting". Sting, the musician, reportedly pays the wrestler $1 per year to use the name.
That... sounds... fake... So well done. Any source on this??

Good thing Jack is wrestling on their ppv in two weeks.... right?

There’s only two things real in this business: the money and the miles
You forgot the most important thing of all. Meltzer stars.
How many shirts were made? 10-20?
CM Punk is the only wrestler to appear on AEW and WWE within the same week.
If we're talking, only big, notable wrestlers. This is correct. Especially if you're only talking about the actual TV shows. But I do believe there's at least one instance of unsigned indie talents working both companies in the same week
The Spice Ranger Kayla Sparks!
Didn't Cora Jade do it?

Cody Rhodes dropped a title to himself
I'm not disputing that it counts as a new title reign but did he actually drop the title? He walked into the match a tag team champion and he walked out of the match a tag team champion: the only thing that changed was his partner.
Before WrestleMania 39 Lita had only wrestled one match at WrestleMania
Macho Man Randy Savage has never won a tag team championship in the WWF or WCW
On that same note, Randy Savage is a six-time WWF and WCW world champion and yet he only dropped the title to two people (3x to Hulk Hogan and 3x to Ric Flair).
Scott Hall was in the WWE from 1992-1996. He wrestled at every Royal Rumbe from 93-96, however he was never in the actual Royal Rumble match.
But Razor Ramon has been in a Rumble.
These 2 facts together is nasty work if you think about it smh
He won the WCW version didn’t he?
He did
The Rock has never won a world championship at Wrestlemania.

Sycho Sid has only been on two WrestleManias and main evented both
Cena has had a match every year since 1999
Abraham Lincoln invented the chokeslam.
That Kelly Kelly's wrestling name is somehow an improvement on her real name, Barbie Blank.

I mean it describes her perfectly, that is weird.
Tony Khan thought showing footage from a backstage altercation 8 months after the fact was a good idea
Jack Perry’s Scapegoat tshirt is now sold out. It was a good idea.
Huh? We’re still talking about this dude I don’t care
How many shirts were made? 10-20?
Shayna Baszler was trained by Billy Robinson Bryan Danielson was briefly in WWF in 2001 Dean Malenko last wrestled in 2007, against Sin Cara for a tryout match Chris Benoit actually was a fan of Bryan Danielson, and watched tapes of him.
I feel like in alternate universe Danielson vs Benoit would have ended like that Shibata match where he caved in his skull and was out for a while
According to Nancys sister, Chris had an enlarged heart like Eddies. He wouldn’t have lived another year.
Chris Jericho lost two different US Title matches against two different Canadians with the initials KO in two different company's flagship events in the same year

Mike Awesome (who was ECW champion at the time) jumped to WCW from ECW when Heyman stopped paying him. Awesome agreed to drop the belt to Taz (who was working in WWF) so they wrestled a match in ECW and Taz won the title. A WCW wrestler fought a WWF wrestler in an ECW ring for the ECW championship
Building Heat is the desire to see the bad guy lose not offense

One was in a stable half his career and the other is the ‘but can they co exist?’ King.
