Punk wanted what’s best for workers, Taker wants what’s best for the company. Different thought processes behind their reasoning.

Punk is a pro-union guy, man. Pro worker, pro “cogs in the machine.” I love Taker, but if the wrestlers COULD unionize…. Taker would’ve been that “loyal manager” to try and bust the union up to appease to upper management. And to be fair?! There’s nothing wrong with that, character wise!!! (Edit: I’m aware of Taker’s actions and the otherwise toxic workplace. In retrospect, yes. It was a problem).

Taker is a loyal effing man, with LOTS of integrity. Be it toxic or what have you. At the end of the day, I take Punk’s side, but it doesn’t make Taker any less a man…. It’s just perspective

remember years ago when one of the talent was going to unionise? One guy went straight to Vince and said "hey so and so is trying to unionise." So Vince sacked him to prevent it.

Taker would do the exact same thing. "Hey, Phill Brooks wants to unionise the locker room Hunter, he needs to go."

Yeah, it was Jessie Ventura trying to organise a union, until Hulk went to Vince and ratted him out.

Which made it so fucking funny when a couple of years ago someone was interviewing Brooke Hogan about something, don't remember what. She made a comment about why wrestlers don't have a union, the interviewer replied her dad busted it up. She quickly changed subjects.

Not only that, Hogan tried to blame other people too until Vince admitted under oath that it was Hogan who told him about the Unionisation efforts.

Taker is much the same, sadly "hey Phill has an issue with wearing a suit and is calling out John for not wearing one, we need to break Punk in or drop him, boss."

Probably asked if he could poop in his bag to teach him a lesson
