Former WWE writer Vince Russo has slammed AEW executives for mocking CM Punk on Dynamite a few weeks back.
The Elite took on The Death Triangle on an episode of Dynamite in Chicago. Throughout the match, The Elite mocked The Second City Saint. Matt Jackson intentionally botched The Buckshot Lariat while Kenny Omega performed the go-to-sleep gesture.
The Best Bout Machine delivered a GTS to Pac and bit his arm in further shots at CM Punk. On The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo slammed the AEW Executive Vice Presidents for their behavior and brought up the show's falling ratings.
"You know, they're out there clowning around, joking around, biting each other, the whole 9 yards. I'll tell you what I'm what I'm looking at. What have your numbers been since CM Punk left? Because now we're in the 800,000s, bro. Chris, it wasn't that long ago they were starting to maintain over that million. I hate to break the news to you guys. You've been in the 800,000s the last couple of weeks. World Series is over guys. If I'm an Executive Vice President, Chris, that's my concern. That's what I'm worried about. Not clowning around to a niche audience that's going to think you're a God. And what does that serve?" Vince Russo said. (00:26 - 1:15)
