QT was supposed to be working backstage/on screen on Collision, which Punk axe’d.
I didn’t know QT, of all people, was one of the people Punk banned from Collision. And for such a petty reason… You don’t like the angle the guy’s in, so you won’t even let him work as a fucking agent?
Punk is a petty bitch, and Tony Khan did nothing but enable him until his own head was on the chopping block. There, I said it. Frankly, I’m not surprised QT left, and I wonder if some of the other folks who saw themselves get banned from Collision in TK’s desperate attempt to coddle Punk’s ego might choose not to re-up when their contracts come up. After all, TK has already shown them how he’ll have their backs in a dispute.
There was a report at some point from WrestlePurist which stated:
“Punk didn’t want Marshall to be a part of Collision and didn’t see QTV as a productive part of Powerhouse Hobbs’ presentation.
Tony Khan took the blame/fall for the removal of QTV segments, which ultimately damaged Khan’s relationship with Marshall. The relationship was fractured and Marshall felt that there was a lack of transparency in terms of the reasons why QTV segments were removed from Collision.
QT was of the belief that CM Punk removed him from the show, and didn’t believe Tony Khan when he took the fall.”
Khan let the man drag his company through the mud while he was sitting next to him so this isn’t a big surprise. I really hope he learned something from all of this.
That fucking deer-in-headlights look, looking back and forth coked up on…well, coke, is a sight I won’t forget.
Love AEW, looking forward to 6y from now when TK stops playing TEW 2016 with his company and decides to be a boss.
The dude is insanely lucky that he has people that want the company to succeed and not just themselves.
Well, I agree that Hobbs with QTV wasn’t a great choice for Hobbs. But I always thought QTV had a place on the card. They were so annoying. It reminded me of watching some of the midcard acts as a kid. If they’d picked someone more appropriate, it could have been fun.
It’s kind of funny, this kind of sounds like Tony was trying to own a decision since he’s the boss. A common complaint has been that he should do that more. But I can see with QT’s position, honesty would have worked more.
I do wonder what we’ll hear once QT is gone. He seems respected by a lot in the locker room.
