Jeff Jarrett Shares His Perspective on CM Punk’s Termination – Jeff Jarrett shared his thoughts on AEW releasing CM Punk during a recent episode of his My World podcast.
Jarrett acknowledges that the specifics of the situation are known only to those directly involved but commends AEW’s founder, Tony Khan, for making a decisive and bold decision in addressing the issue. While the details of the situation aren’t provided in the provided text, Jarrett’s comments suggest that he views Khan’s handling of the situation as a commendable move.
The reality of the situation, you’re asking me to make comments on a situation that, and I really believe this, there are only two people in the world that have full context. Some people can say, ‘I knew this, I knew that.’ You may, but you don’t know what Tony knows and you don’t know what Phil [CM Punk] knows. Nobody knows but them two. I would have to have….to comment on the specifics, but in general purposes, the decision Tony made, big cojones, hit it straight on.
Staying on subject, Jarrett says that his father, the great Jerry Jarrett, would have handled the situation the exact same way.
There were three things done. The social media audience — the discussion in the United Center — the television audience, and the live audience. All of them were addressed head on. When I read that release, it was as clear as a legal situation could possibly be. I believe my old man would have been aligned with it because, get in front of it. That’s a hard pill to swallow. The easy one would have been ‘wait until Monday.’ There are multiple things you could have done. A reconciliation, a cooling off period. We can talk about it ad nauseam, and it has been talked about over and over for months. Getting in front of things, with a clear-cut decision made, absolutely was the right thing to do. It’s best for business. Your consumers were informed. I just don’t think there are downsides to that.
