Vince Russo has expressed that CM Punk's controversial pipebomb promo on Hangman Page failed to impress him.
CM Punk's alleged real-life heat with Hangman Page took an ugly turn on AEW Dynamite this week. The Chicago native has been on the receiving end of fans' wrath for the "unnecessary" off-script twist.
The show started with Punk addressing the West Virginia crowd for an expected showdown with Jon Moxley. However, the reigning AEW World Champion decided to call out Hangman Page, offering the hometown lad a shot at the world title. It's worth noting that Punk dethroned Hangman to clinch the gold at Double or Nothing in May.
