I mean, you're in the camp that we can't criticize Punk for his actions because he's a sad boy because people might've thought the reason that Khan had to be talked into keeping Cabana is just maybe, people took the not out there position that the guy who he signed to a huge money deal didn't want the guy he had a huge falling out with, including a lawsuit over, in the same company as him.
But, I get it - the new view of the Internet wrestling fan is all a wrestler has to say is mental wellness and you can't criticiz them for anything they do, regardless of their actions or their actual talent. Well, as long as that wrestler is somebody the Internet likes. If not, you can say, extrapolate one dumb tweet from a decade ago into somebody being a conspiracy theorist, because you don't like they're getting pushed strongly.
Again, from the outside, I find this hilarious because every side is terrible. The Punk side, the Jericho side, the Elite side. I only believe that the Elite story is closest to the truth, because it's the one that makes the most sense from the actual personalities of everybody involved.
Punk has been a touchy grouchy asshole since the early 2000's, the Elite brought the head of legal with them to talk to Punk, and then everything happened and Jericho took the moment to take back the locker room. None of that seems out of step with reality, as opposed to ya' know, the Elite viciously going after Punk's dog and trying to get into a shoot fight backstage.
