My fault, I mixed up Morelia with Colt. Same bad gimmicks
But the email thread between Punk's lawyer and Cabana from May/June of 2016 doesn't reflect that. It's pretty clear that Punk paying for both of them was the accepted arrangement until Punk threw his fit. Then, even after the lawyer (Brenner) asks Cabana if he'll contribute going forward and Cabana says no, he agrees to stick with the status quo of Punk paying for everything. It isn't until 9 months later that the form representing Punk withdraws as Cabana's counsel I'm a FedExed letter that doesn't explain why.Thanks Smigg
Load of BS btw.
That 100% covered can be understood in a half dozen ways including paying all fees or just getting some legal advise - which is why Punk might have got angry at paying for everything and demanded half the money up to that point. Then Colt has a half-veiled threat to do his own shit which could include settling/cooperating with WWE and then Punk again agrees to pay.
Notice Colt is worried about getting sued by Punk. Is that because he realizes Punk didn’t actually promise to pay for everything up to the end? The lawyers preferred to bill Punk because he’s rich compared to Colt (THAT is how I would bill) - that doesn’t mean Colt didn’t have to give half back.
Once they get to the stage where Colt can’t pull out or fuck things up for Punk in court - then Punk stops paying.

There are clearly a couple changes of heart, but with the exhibits taken together, I don't get how you can make a case for Punk not actually having pledged to pay for Cabana's legal fees.

Yes, I'm me.David Bixenspan?
You have the chronology all wrong, and I'm not shes how you did that. The Punk email to Cabana led to the Cabana/Brenner email chain, which is where Brenner makes it clear that Punk paying for both how and Cabana's representation is what had already been going on for over a year.I don’t see the case for Punk agreeing to pay anything except unitl the point when Colt threatened to change lawyers - that’s when Punk says he will start paying and Colt can forget about the old bills. But there is a clear proviso that that agreement CAN be terminated. Colt accepted this...
Punk will say the status quo was him getting the bills from the law firm and Colt owing him the money - which is why he wrote that angry email because he wasn’t getting anything back.
The previous 100% covered can mean a dozen things and even if it meant that Punk will pay everything contractually - that’s terminated at the point I write about in the previous paragraph.

Colt is also responsible for his own actions. After getting the podcasts, he could have edited it or not put it up. And he was making snide remarks during it. After getting the letter he could have taken it down. I am 100% certain there were lawyer meetings where Colt discussed the letter and consequences and then the lawsuit.
So why should Punk pay for everything? He didn’t put a gun to Colts head - who is an adult. If Punk paid for a huge while then Colt should be happy.
That’s how I would defend Punk. Also there is going to be other correspondence/texts in this matter.

That's not clear at all from Punk's lawyer's emails to Colt.
