I have to say……this is a Grade A fantastic documentary……put together in less than a week from being fired from AEW. You, my friend, should get tons of acknowledgment for this masterpiece.
this is your threshold for "a Grade A fantastic documentary" do you have nerve damage in your brain? a well put together compilation of other videos. delusional lol
Tony’s lack of ability to manage is quite honestly the most remarkable thing in wrestling despite all the talent that has walked through doors they could not do a thing with.
Thank you for compiling this. It’s so refreshing to be able to follow it all “in real time” instead of reading the dirtsheets, going back and watching, checking out all the opinions, etc etc etc Really great and valuable content
I STTGG I sweaaarrr I kept saying to myself “daamn man i hope nothing happened backstage bc that looks like a face of some BS just happened but I still gotta do my job, but Fck it it’ll be my last day” and once I seen him say goodbye at the end of the match I was like Yeaahh I bet that’s for some reason the last time we see punk in AEW
There was a twitter video from someone in the crowd after his match where you could see him mouth "GOODBYE" to the crowd. Think he knew that was his last match. Real shame how it all ended.
Punk and these shoot promos were literally the ticket to taking AEW to another level. I guarantee like Punk or not Vince would've done whatever he had to do to keep this angle going. Tony fired the biggest and brightest star in the industry in order to appease a bunch of indie fools. Tony wanted everyone to be happy. If that's your first concern as a promoter you're a fuckin mark. Vince would've been out of business after 5 years if he thought that way.
@@travelreview5962 You're right. Vince stood by wrestlers who think could make more money, even if they're hated in the locker room, because he's a businessman first.
Vince would’ve but honestly if punk did the same thing in wwe how vince would’ve reacted. Since punk was apparently chiming for a wwe return according to fightful But idk it’s a very different landscape but I do wanna point out to the ultimate warrior’s story in wwe where he was giving a lot and was ultimately fired when he challenged vince Not a similar story since warrior never threatened staff or vince with violence but idk if vince would’ve kept the angle or would’ve fired him out right
@@evillain19xx 100%... and you are going to have to have the same mindset if you want to build anything near the same level as he has. The business today may be prettier and more politically correct, but make no mistake there has never been a more difficult time than hire to compete for peoples attention than now. You are going to have to make difficult decisions every day and screwing up this bad can be a nail in the coffin.... especially if Punk decided to go back to WWE.
This entire video is the most modern wrestling I’ve been able to sit through in a LONG time. You can really see the difference of telling a story and classic psychology, and just doing moves.
As long as Kenny omega and young bucks stay in aew... It won't even be a 50% of what wwe is... When NJPW, who always sends their wrestlers with respect and honor to other companies had issues with Kenny omega, you need to understand how big off a arsehole he is... CM punk is too old school to hang out with these guys... Imagine using a popular faction like bullet club and being in it just to promote their own elite group and leaving it😅... Wrestler control Aew and they don't listen to management...
@@KaiTheCheetahTrue but to see him become what he claimed to despise? That was not what I wanted to see. He started to believe his own hype and BS. Remember how he said NOBODY is bigger than the people, or the business. Then he became just that, or HE THOUGHT HE WAS. Now not all the blame is or falls on him. There are a few people, a few people who again believe that they are bigger than they truly are. Executive Vice Presidents, which is LOL, NOT AN ACTUAL TITLE!! The Elite, the Young Sucks, Kenny Omega, etc, turned into schoolboy crybabies! Whaah!! he picked on me, Whaah!! Now I'm not condoning what Punk did. He truly acted like a SPOILED BRAT! And now as hard as this is to say, maybe the wwe had a reason to fire his *ss? And I can't stand the wwe, but Punk acted like a little Punk. I can't understand why his ego got so big. Why he started to believe he was a god among men? Yes he was a great wrestler, and yes his return was one of the biggest POPS ever in Pro Wrestling, but in the end he was still just a wrestler. He seemed to feel that he didn't need to do what the other wrestlers did, since he was "royalty"? Again something he claimed he hated about the wwe. And yeah the Elite may have come across as Royalty, but Punk's big mouth didn't help matters. This entire fiasco was because of ONE THING! EGOS! Guys had too big of an Ego, other guys had their Egos bruised, and some may just be total A-Holes? Either way, this turned into a schoolyard slap fest. I had hoped Luke Perry's kid wasn't some entitled little brat. He may not be? I wasn't there, and the TRUE ACTUAL FACTS of what happened between them, well each person will have a different "recollection" of what happened. What could have been an amazing experience and a cornerstone of professional wrestling, became a joke! Who knows maybe the wwe planted Philly Brooks in AEW to cause chaos and create animosity? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Hmmmmmm? LOL.
It didn't have to. If Tony had any balls, treated it like a business instead of fantasy booking with real life action figures, trying to be everyone's friend, didn't put people in positions they neither deserved nor earned, I could go on, but with the counterfeit Bucks marks in here, it would be pointless. Mind you, I have always had an issue with Punks backstage antics, but don't make objective statements based on your subjective perspective
His run in June when he came back honestly is my favorite AEW run of his, it felt more raw, and I wished we seen the Real World title story play out with MJF
Punk's exit from AEW will always be legendary. Beat the shit out of Jack Perry, yelled at his boss, came out and fought Joe like nothing happened, winning the match in front of a massive 80,000+ crowd chanting his name and theme song, says goodbye and walks out knowing he's done, gets fired, chills for 2 months, then shows back up in WWE. I'll always be of the belief that Punk was ready to leave after Brawl Out, but Tony wouldn't let him out of his contract, so he fought Perry to force his hand. His little smirk as he came out implies that he knew he was out, and was ready to go out on top. I hope he managed to keep the belt lol. Edit: so the theory that he wanted out after Brawl Out was more or less confirmed by him. He was ready to leave, and actually told Tony "I quit" before going out and wrestling his biggest match. Lol
We're the little boys in the place he worked before. He was disrespecting those who had done years before him there and thought he was God ther too. Plenty lies come from him too. He got exactly what he did there back. The younger generation told him he wasn't a special as he thinks just like he did to the elders before him. Good think was starks pinned him before he left so he can't go around spouting his lies that he left as a unpined camp
You did a magnificent job compiling everything relevant, filling all the blanks and providing full context for each incident that led up to the release.
@@lingricen8077 says the guy going to random comments on random channels calling everything "bad" with no context, then liking your own comments to boot. You should change your username to @ChronicallyOnline. At least make your schtick make sense.
Very well done, very neutral documentary. It’s a shame it all ended like this. Personally, if some things are to be believed, Punk did try and work it out with the Elite and co, but they weren’t budging. I’m of the opinion that by the time he came back on Collision, he had wanted out of AEW (the visit to RAW backstage, making amends with some people before he was told he had to leave leads me to think this way). IMHO, there are people on the AEW roster who aren’t the most mature, and there is no structure in place to help them swim (or sink). Guys like Jack Perry and Adam Page fall into that category, though I feel if it wasn’t Jack Perry it would have been someone else that initiated Punk’s exit. He wanted out. I was a very casual AEW fan until they brought back CM Punk. I started watching every week after that. My dog watched with me. If his behavior was any indication, he was a CM Punk mark; his ear would perk up when he heard “Cult of Personality” start, his little stubby tail would start going a mile a minute. He passed away from a very aggressive form of cancer the afternoon of September 2nd. A few hours later, Tony Khan made the announcement. It was just a bad day all around.
Thanks for making this. I haven’t watched wrestling regularly since the early 2000’s but I keep an eye on the major drama and my brother is still a huge fan. I heard about this drama but knew nothing, glad you made this so I can catch up
The body language between Omega and Punk’s when they’re talking about “ the incident” speaks volumes to me: Punk is angry, confrontational, and generally gives off a “do not f*** with me, or I will end you” vibe. Kenny is tired, sad, and really regretful of the entire incident.
To be fair Kenny omega attacked him with 3 friends vs 1 person. The EVP’s are jealous sensitive cowards. Punk has the right to be fucking upset about that.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037Dude, you chatted so much s**t. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. Prove it. Prove that the EVPs attacked CM Punk 3 on 1. PROVE IT. You chat so much s**t because everything you said didn't happened at all. Now tell me when I'm telling lies for I most certainly can tell when you are. Sorry for lashing out but it's super dirty of people spreading bs about this because it makes their fee-fee feel better. People need to stick to facts and stop spreading rumours that not even CM PUNK communicated. Not even a news flash but it was CM PUNK that confirmed that he struck the ELITES first, and he tried to say it was because the elite kicked down his door, which he changed to they barged through the door, and then changed again to say they opened the doors aggressively and hit his dog. Sorry, to backtrack that many times is you (punk) losing the argument. Plus this so called attack was done in front of the head of legal and head of talent relations in the same room. You think the elite attack cm punk when they brought those two heads with them? Illogical, senseless and clearly not true. They came to talk for they were his bosses, not to fight.Tell me when I'm telling lies. Don't spread lies and false narratives. Stick to the facts. Do not focus and hyperbole claims for claims are not facts. All CM Punk proven through this is he loves to hyperbole, turn baseless claims to facts, and he cannot move on as he spur crap again even after giving someone their receipt. Case in point, hangman page.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037 the only problem with your story is kenny omega didnt attack anyone, he tryed to protect the dog and was attacked by acesteel tooth lol... thats the story that the cm punk camp told.
Nobody attacked anyone beside Punk suckerpunching, throwing chairs and Ace biting. Stop changing the story to make Punk look like he defended himself. The Elite took Punks invantation to talk after he shit on aew and them publicly, bringing the vice President megha parekh with them. You dort do that if you want to attack someone.
Kenny is the Adult in that group is the bucks who are the problem and act like victims. Feel bad for kenny because he gets drag into this because of "his buddies"
Another fascinating thing that didn't make it into the documentary was when Hangman won his world title (before Punk), the crowd chanted "you deserve it" and he replied "no, I earned it". Which Punk then usurped for himself, at the same time proclaiming Max stealing his catch phrase. The lines of story and reality were never more blurred than this era. What a tragedy.
@@-Trauma. yes the audacity that he was not in the building, and if he was he is a bad guy to not respond to a child calling him out. bad bad hangman page.
@@DDW50 hey if I was Hangman and I didn't go out there, I'd tell everyone I wasn't in the building either. "I'm saving AEW from You!" He says, from home.
“You should take the time and really enjoy CM Punk while he's here because he's not going to be here much longer. Fragile mind. Fragile ego. Fragile body.” -- Jon Moxley Yup.
Amazing video. You could’ve recycled a lot from your first video but you did it on punks second run. Too many RUclipsrs do this and I’m glad to see the integrity. Keep at it!
No matter how you feel about the outcome, it's just a bummer it didn't work out. Hope AEW continues to do well, and I hope Punk finds himself in a wrestling ring once again someday.
@@DWOLF777they fired their top draw “with cause”* Punk has his fanbase, but he clearly wanted out by any means. It’s best for both parties if he’s out of AEW to explore other options. WWE would be the best case scenario, but I don’t know if Punk can swallow his pride to walk back some of his criticisms of WWE. He’d look like a hypocrite, on some level. And he clearly has some enemies there, to this day.
@AirshipOverWater he didn't want out. He was fired. With cause was mentioned because they didn't want there to be any confusion as to who was at fault for his firing. And WWE doesn't want him. Nobody with a brain wants him in their company. He creates a toxic workplace wherever he goes, be it WWE, ROH, or AEW. And he was never the top star in WWE during his time there; John Cena was, so it wasn't jealousy that people disliked him for. They don't hate Cena like they hated Punk, and Cena buried everyone. That's saying something EDIT after WWE return: Actually, there are people without brains running WWE who thought bringing Punk back was a good idea... let's see if he can outlast this contract
This is probably one of the better Wrestling documentary channels on RUclips right now. I tried to get into the business years ago. (I have a different look being Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian) UPW (Cena was the Prototype there) accepted me but the 9-11 tragedy stopped the move in 2001. Had a match with Yuji Nagata and another with Dragon Gate. Did a Chikara event with Generico, Fire Ant, Eddie Kingston and others. Teddy Hart moonsaulted on my head. Almost had a match with AJ Styles. My FCW tryout was with AJ Lee and Adam Rose. Did a promo in front of the legendary Dusty Rhodes. I had a smackdown tryout where I helped a run in with Matt Hardy. It was a short run but my regrets are not getting to meet and learn from all the greats. Thankfully I didn't get too hurt in those years. And to everyone who is chasing their dream, don't give up. I hope you get farther than me.
Dude, I have a lot of respect for you making it as far as you did! Not many people would’ve been able to pull that off and you clearly had some talent to be given a match with Yuji Nagata of all people. You may not have met and learned from ‘the greats’, but there are active wrestlers that would ache for the chance to face Nagata. I’m sorry things didn’t quite fall into place for you, but I reckon you’d have plenty to offer to anyone trying to make it today. I hope you’re happy with you and where you are today. Keep doing you, kaikunane 💪🏾
@@mjktrx Thank you for the kind words. I think I was 22 when I faced Nagata and still young in my career. (Had trained 5 years and would wrestle maybe another 5 or so) Took the exploder, nagata lock and everything. He was an awesome person. I think that was a missed opportunity, as I was on the same card as Liger, Chono, Nagata and Kensuke Sasaki. I should have went to train in Japan immediately after that. But look up Akua Neckbreaker for more.
The incredible irony of Punk bragging about marching to the beat of his own drum. Being unapologetic, and being himself. Yet having a problem with Page for not caring what he thinks is just beautiful
@@clicheguevara9917 Not really, if the "yourself" you're being is someone who doesn't do those things. Besides, he says he's willing to hear people out when they give advice. But that he generally doesn't follow it. Which is totally his right.
Ultimately the wrestling world moved on without Punk and when he came back he couldn't keep up. Sad to see one of my former heroes become the type of person he used to despise.
Good God you guys are like Trump supporters. There's literally nothing that can change your mind but how idiotic your favorite wrestlers are in real life
@@nordicman8430his ego and his temper. He can't control himself backstage, no one forced him to assault a coworker, he made that decision himself. He's been known to have an ego in the indies, in RoH, in WWE, and of course, in AEW as well. HHH's promo on him was very accurate, both are the same and quite happy to trample others, but HHH is honest about it.
The amount of disrespect Punk shows his boss in the interview is pretty insane. He constantly talks about it being a business with adults yet he acts like a child.
@@nohbuddy1 no matter what you think of some of your managers, your boss boss deserves respect. I like punk as a character but Phil brooks seems to be on a ego trip which was emboldened by a lack of structure in a suppose professional company. The WWE will check him if needed.
I hate when people say “he’s 45 fighting people half his age” doesn’t matter. like you gotta see through the lines. cm punk is one of the best wrestlers to be in the ring. & one of the best on the mic. people In AEW hated that he stepped in & took almost everybody’s spot.
Kenny’s interview talking about the brawl out situation, shows you he really was the one trying to calm down the guys and stop the fight. It’s rough. Amazing quality hiseo
I'm still curious about how CM Punk's run in AEW would be if Jack never did what he did. But at the same time Punk is killing it in WWE rn and he's looking alot happier and healthier.
WOW. Well done. Shoutout to the flashback edit during Punk’s Collision entrance. Cutting in that black and white of his initial debut, with the ambience and everything… chills. 🤩
I respect Kenny more because of the reported rumor that he was willing to squash the beef with Punk. That’s a mature decision. Rumor is Bucks refused. Watching the interviews with the rumors in mind, it looks like Omega was always willing to resolve the matter and move forward while others weren’t [>
The guy is 45, fights with people half his age over petty stuff. Back in WWE, no one stood up for him when he got fired, not even years later. Even his die-hards must see a pattern by now.
His greatest talent is speaking his mind on the work ethics of certain wrestling companies, but that talent ended up being a key factor in his biggest downfall.
Guys, let's not exaggerate, all his former WWE colleagues talk about him with affection, the punk himself had to sue the WWE doctors who made him fight despite a serious injury , so I don't think he was wrong in abandoning them, Even in AEW he wasn't wrong, in fact he exposed what the actual problems of the federation are , And I really find this demonization of him ridiculous, do we really want to pretend that the EVPs or Jack Parry and Tony Khan have no responsibilities? Punk will certainly have a big ego but the same goes for the others already mentioned but the latter have also shown themselves to be lacking in professionalism.
@@rmmm4268 I'm simply telling the truth, if you then want to remain blind and see punk as the only ugly and bad one, perhaps the problem isn't him but you who take one side or the other based on your sympathies.
"Enjoy your CM Punk while you can, cause he ain't gonna be here much longer. Fragile mind, fragile body, fragile ego." That promo stood with me for a while cause it felt like a shoot, now we see the long term results. It's disappointing how this all ended, at least we had the Punk vs MJF feud when we did cause Punk was a ticking time bomb, and not the good kind like Hiromu Takahashi.
Punk worked with self-important children like the bucks, that did not have the balls to even interact with him after they jumped him. They do not want to learn, they think they know everything and when somebody takes them up on it, they hide behind lawyers.
@@GQFJB Nah, Tony Khan, Jack Perry, Miro, Joe, Christopher Daniels and probably some other poor fools that don't even lift weights "brainwashed" us. Not a particular fan of The Elite here, good matches but not my favorite cup of tea. It's not about sides it's about knowing to be "the responsible adult in the room", remember that? Grow up, dude.
I'll be honest, I was never really a fan of Punk when I was growing up and I had stopped watching WWE in 2009 so I missed his golden era in WWE. I couldnt have cared less of his return. Once he returned, I truly believe he was whats been missing in AEW. He took them to another level. Its dissapointing how things have turned out. This could have been one of the biggest fueds in wrestling history if the Elite and Punk worked together. Truly bluring the lines between shooting and working. Just like pro wrestling should be!
@@ShogunAssassins DID you see keith lees back stages segment it took them 22 takes and the prodoction people didint even mange to cut the claper guy at the right time
Truth of the matter is that people turned their back on CM Punk. They were behind him because of what he stood for and what he called out. Now they hate him because of what he stood for and called out. Look at Punk history from 2011 to now. Notice how he hasn't changed but the audience crapping on him did. I'm also noticing a pattern of media trying to crap on him at every opportunity.
@@younglove3362What changed is who he was speaking truth to power. Punk spoke truth to power to HHH and Vinny K Mac JR. Punk now was speaking truth to power to fan favorite wrestlers. [>
AEW is a prime example to why samoa joe was wasted potential in WWE, he rocked the mic like it was nothing, and had unyielding charisma in the ring. glad to see he finally gets the respect he deserves
Joe’s biggest issue isn’t any of that, it’s the fact that he’s injury prone and can’t stay healthy long enough to work a story arc. This has been his problem since his TNA days. They recognized it early . That’s why they kept him in short, ground based matches after he was injured in the X Division title matches.
If he never wrestle again this Compilation will b completely legendary.. The final Chapter of the Great CM Punk.. He brought a vibe to Pro Wrestling that was completely unique and different.. wether good or bad he was a hell of a Entertainer and will forever be one of Pro Wrestling Greats..
On the day Punk returned in 2021, I got bit by a brown recluse spider & ended up in the hospital for a week. On the day he came back the 2nd time, someone stole my identity & all of my money. I was afraid to see what would happen if it happened a third time.
I agree with many of the other comments. Was hoping i wouldn't be back here commenting on the end. You have done another fantastic job. You deserve to be compensated for your efforts. Great work. Rather than overanalyzing a man I have never met, I will keep this comment simple. I hope CM Punk finds the help he needs, he is clearly in need of some help and has some pent up anger. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him for standing up for himself when he was attacked, but lunging at your boss isn't tolerated at any level. Sucks it ended this way. I just hope Punk finds inner peace no matter what is next.
@@Kr4ShSkeLyeah, people don't want to open their eyes. Is the same thing with the dirt sheet thing and Punk always giving info to Hausman, my guy is a hypocrite. Also, his story both times was always changing and changing, he's a narcissist and a liar
@@STORMYFWEATHERS True, but Tony didn't do shit to deserve it, if anything it's the opposite, Tony repeatedly bent over backwards deferring to Punk over and over again, also it was a repeated offense, and it's painfully obvious Punk has PROBLEMS. He's always starting shit or threatening to start it, insulting people publicly then getting mad when others dish it back (much softer, no less), and has beef with people who don't have beef with anybody else. Punk deserved absolutely everything he got, and probably more, tbh.
"I wouldve lost a popularity contest" says the dude who was so popular fans chanted his name for 7 years straight after he left. The persecution complex is off the charts.
One thing that always struck me with the Brawl Out Gripe Bomb is that he brings up that Colt Cabana shares a bank account with his mom over and over. As if taking care of your family is a bad thing. He just never understood how anyone could ever have a worldview other than his, and historically, that makes for the worst type of coworker. And when you add that this is already a business known for big muscles and bigger egos, it was a recipe for disaster from the start. I liked him when I was younger, and I was excited to see him return. But it feels like I grew up, and he didn't. What a waste of a legacy.
Errrr he’s been working with children and frankly with years of experience you tend to listen and take in from those things and NOT act the age of your shoe size. It’s AEW loss and frankly they need him He doesn’t need them. The young bucks are awful
@@spraymie Be that as it may, you don't get into physical fights backstage with your coworkers or threaten your boss, regardless of the drama. Punk fucked up at All In and got himself fired.
@@bousch8253 Attitude? You have watched the documentary yeah? Say what you like AEW will suffer massively without punk as he is a main star The flip twins and KOM are zzzzz
Thank you so very much for taking time out of your life to put this together. It's really nice to have everything all in one place like this in such a quality package.
@@hansjuker8296not really. He had next to no problems in wwe(until the end which was justified), roh he had no problems in,and ovw he had no problems in. Jericho and many others have stories of not getting along with people too.
there are things you don't say to the media. when CM punk said colt shared a bank account with his mother, probably reveals what kind of person CM punk is.
It wasn't the backstage incedent that made tony fire punk it was the fact that punk lunged for tony. Even then all he was ginna do was suspend him. An independent law team review the case abd footsge abd firced tonys hand
Punk is a good character but his personal life has made him nuts. Even when he tries to espouse morality and rights he's often short-sighted and isn't ground in any objectivity or absolutes. Even his "high ground" is maintained out of fear not morality.
CM Punk just following the trends and current zeitgeist. He couldn't hold a reasonable conversation on the philosophical grounds for holding his trendy views. He just follows whatever is Twitter friendly
cm punk knows what hes doing and how it all works. these people tried to come at him because they were friends with a guy punk used to know. they all think its a boys club when its a business. cm punk is about business.
In all seriousness, I've heard they gave Punk creative control of Collision while they still had him on the show. And it was honestly a brilliant move, even if it was just to keep The Elite off the roster.
Hilarious his apology calling people soft considering he's always been soft and caused problems in EVERY lockeroom he's been in dating back to the indies yet he still believes it's everyone else and not him that's the problem. He's the common denominator like it or not.
Punk attacked a guy backstage and admitted to trying to choke him. That's a really good reason to fire someone, even if AEW played it up a little too much when telling their audience
When you reach 50k subscribers and start having shitty AEW copyright issues like Promo Joe has been having recently I hope you remember us the first ones who were there early on to support your channel hehe. Well done once again! And yes I did watch all of it!
Please make a documentary on Kenny Omega, (the belt collector), going in depth on the fact that he held 3 world titled from 3 different promotions all at the same time... AEW, TNA, & AAA
My internet goes out constantly. But when it comes back, there's always a jewel of a video waiting. Your work is wonderful, and I hope more people have the opportunity to see your channel. :)
It's disappointing that we won't be seeing Punk anymore. Entertainment wise he's an absolute delight to have around, there's never a dull moment with him, and he really has one of the biggest personalities I've ever seen. But I mean, come on man. How in fucks name do you get in another physical altercation after the first blow up where the CEO had to create a completely separate show to accommodate you since more than half the roster doesn't want to work with you? Just blows my mind. I'll always be a fan of CM Punk and his edginess, but his glaring anger problems and mental health issues need to be addressed at this point. It almost seems like he's getting way more bitter with age.
It doesn’t for me. Punk is paranoid because he worked for HHH and Vinny K Mac JR. They did a lot of petty BS to screw him over. Punk thought TK was doing that to him at this major PPV. He was already upset. Moreover, he was dealing with clear bias reporting because The Elite would talk to dirt sheets. It makes total sense to me albeit it is still greatly disappointing. [>
@@kaineshigaraki5253but he’s 45 years old dude. There’s gotta be a time in your life where you stop having a chip on your shoulder or you’ll end up alone and bitter. With that said, this is all comes back to Tony not knowing how to run a wrestling company.
@@Thor-Orion AEW isn’t like WWE. AEW are in charge of transportation for their wrestlers, at least for big events. WWE aren’t. Punk had nobody from AEW helping him get to the arena. He was lost. He called the number and it was the wrong number. Punk barely makes it in on time and sees another wrestler running his mouth. Yes. Punk is the veteran and should’ve acted better, but I understand it. Punk was already upset (mind you that AEW personnel was a Young Bucks crony), Perry added more fuel to the fire. Punk’s problem isn’t having a chip on his shoulder, it’s how he chooses to deal with it. Punk is candid and confrontational. That’s NOT a good business move. [>
Suggesting the aptly named Punk has a mental health issue is a disservice to people who lived through actual tragedy and suffering; soldiers unknowingly stepping in their friends head or children walking into a room with a suddenly dead parent or, say, someone with schizophrenia. CM Punk just refuses to learn to grow up; unfair to one to compare to the other, is my long winded 2 cents.
I feel like that's the problem, again this is the third incident where Punk (being Punk) offers advice, they take it wrong they get butt hurt they spread toxicity and rumors through the locker room made it harder for Punk ro get through to new wrestlers who "heard the rumors" and follow, that
Clearly, you haven't dealt with disrespectful children. If that jobber threw his stupid tantrum back in the Attitude Era, man, it would've been his funeral. LMAO
This was a fantastic piece of work. As an older wrestling fan, this has been such an interesting story. Because I kind of understood where Punks frustration came from, him being the older more experienced wrestler wanting to help the younger guys. But in tern the hungry younger talent not wanting to take advise from the older guy who's on much more money than them and thinks he knows everything. I suspect if Punk was a better communicator, he could of been an undertaker style father to the locker-room. However we all know that Punk has never been great at playing with others and when he tried to give out 'advise' probably didn't articulate it well and ended up just angering people. Its a shame this had to happen the way it did, but that said I don't think we've seen the last of CM Punk.
The only thing with that is that it isn't a generational thing. Jericho has said multiple times that he didn't get on with Punk because he was a know-it-all who claimed to speak for the locker room when he didn't put in the work to actually build that rapport, trust, and respect. Everyone always knew he just went into the business for himself, and he felt like it was world war 3 whenever anyone called him on that. I would love to have a locker room leader in there, especially with a relatively young roster, but he only wanted to talk the talk and never walk the walk.
@Janitillo how would you know are you in locker room or are you listening to reading stuff from Dave Meltzer? When jungle boy joke Perry wanted to use real glass and he was advised not too that tells you who is really in control of a company!!!!! WWE has controls and lets people know wrestlers might not like it but they follow it. Tony Fanboy Kahn has no business running a show or company without REAL people running it not the fake Elite. You should probably look at the real reason Cody left and it was due to disrespect to him.
This video popped up in my feed. I have never heard about this channel until now and I owe an apology for that. I am 27 minutes into the video and paused just to say this is fucking awesome! Very well done and just really entertaining to watch. Great job to whomever worked on this.
Thank you for this well done documentary. I am a bit out of the loop about AEW and uncertain of what exactly is going on. This has helped so much. I kept listening to Jim Cornette and Brian Last discuss this, but I needed the context and visuals to fully understand this situation. Thank you! ❤
It's been a great run for CM Punk, but if you constantly making problem in locker room, you are the main problem.. It does not matter where you are working whether its aew, wwe, njpw etc..
@@bb-gc2txliterally the entire roster wanted him gone.... because he can't get along with anyone. Punk mark. Fk the elite too but Punk takes the cake. Nobody but punk did this to punk. Mark.
As much as I've always loved Punk, the backstage in AEW did become a lot more combative and leaky when he joined and it stayed that way throughout this time there. The irony considering he said one thing that made him join was how quiet they kept on Brodie Lee. It's a bummer it played out this way, but you can't go around punching and choking coworkers that you don't like, and you definitely can't lunge at your boss. Anyone defending Punk here would get fired immediately if they tried that in the workplace. They gave Punk everything from tons of money, multiple world titles, his own show that he had a lot of control over, and it still wasn't enough.
All the people who comment defending Punks actions blow my mind with that, everyone gets lost in the minutia. To quote Fred Durst; “THE HE SAID SHE SAID BULLSH”. It makes no difference who was right or wrong (they were all wrong) it just sucks no one could figure out a way too make it work. Punk is just so headstrong, volatile, and has head stuck up his own ass with “how he thinks things should be”. Anyone who walks around with the vibes of “I’m right, yes, I’m the most right and everyone else is wrong only I know what’s right” has the tendency to be pretty annoying. Probably a million times more annoying when that person has a lot of perceived power. And yea, there’s no denying that people were messing with him, but he handled the situation like a 15 year old at a hardcore show. I genuinely remember kids from high school who thought and acted just like him and all those guys were assholes.
@@royb5820This all comes down to Tony Khan. CM Punk said himself in the ESPN interview that he was tired of things never being dealt with and things would never get resolved because like it or not Tony Khan is not a leader and doesn’t know how to run a wrestling company.
@@briancage1858 sure, you aren’t wrong. All billionaires suck, for sure, but I’ll always think Tony is kind of alright because he’s a gigantic wrestling nerd lucky enough to have the money to start his own wrestling promotion. Dude is literally living the dream of anyone who’s ever fantasy booked anything. I can’t hate that. He’s definitely very inexperienced as a boss, I just hope he’s able to learn from his mistakes.
@@royb5820Him being a giant wrestling nerd is why his company hasn't turned a profit. It's why he allowed the cliques of the socal wrestling scene run around and do and say what they want. It's why he let Jericho slow anyone with momentum down. It's why he let this bs get to the point where he fired his biggest draw. Tony Khan isn't some coked out evil individual, but he is God awful at his job. There have been so many red flags when it comes to him and how he runs his company.
Punk has to understand…these guys are young. People make mistakes. When punk came in 2008. He had leadership like taker, Kane, hhh etc in wwe. At his age, he needs to be a leader and let the BS go.
And don't you think that's what he always tried to do? But no, it's a lose-lose situation for him always, if he's trying to be a leader, he's narcissistic and who does he think he is? If he doesn't act, then he's a coward and as a "megastar veteran" should've done better... I still believe this was all out of jealousy from the supposed EVPs to make him look bad through media, I mean, you don't see anyone talking about what the others did, it's always Punk that is the POS in the situation... Still baffles me how after that BABY FACE vs BABY FACE promo between Punk and Adam Paige, people get behind Adam Paige like he's some kind of saint for delivering that promo, I mean I would understand if Punk was a heel, but not in that specific situation... And what about not following advice, like wtf 😂 are you the mister know it all? What a joke and yet people still get behind a guy that is this selfish and shit on Punk just because it's easy to.
@@Psykokiller1 then “he a coward” who was saying that to him. It’s literally his own ego and y’all blindness to him to make up such narratives. He clearly has anger issues. And it’s y’all cult like fans of his that has pushed him into this ego trip alongside the pandering Tony did . He’s never wrong in y’all eyes when it’s clearly shown he never believes he is wrong, is thin skinned, and videos have shown him to be the aggressor towards Jack.
What should have shook the foundation, leveled the entire run before we ever got going. I love Punks realism with the business. He knows how to make his mark but man does he know how to steam roll right off the rails at times. Fans waited years for him to make the comeback and unfortunately it ended in a way none of us wanted.

100% spot on with this comment
I need this kind of documentary for Samoe Joe as well.
Exactly ❤🙌
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
Dude has a gift!
"One bill Phil... That's because I am the one, true, genuine article in a business full of counterfeit bucks."
That was one hell of a line.
I have to say……this is a Grade A fantastic documentary……put together in less than a week from being fired from AEW. You, my friend, should get tons of acknowledgment for this masterpiece.
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
its a video compilation. I am sure this would never see a real network lol.
And don't matter if it's clips first seven minutes of it I was stoked
@kajenbop Still takes a lot of work
this is your threshold for "a Grade A fantastic documentary" do you have nerve damage in your brain? a well put together compilation of other videos. delusional lol
I was confused about the whole history between Punk and the Elite. Thank you so much for making this documentary, hands down quality content
Tony’s lack of ability to manage is quite honestly the most remarkable thing in wrestling despite all the talent that has walked through doors they could not do a thing with.
U couldn’t have said it better
Thank you for compiling this. It’s so refreshing to be able to follow it all “in real time” instead of reading the dirtsheets, going back and watching, checking out all the opinions, etc etc etc
Really great and valuable content
That smirk In Punk’s entrance at All In said it all.
I STTGG I sweaaarrr I kept saying to myself “daamn man i hope nothing happened backstage bc that looks like a face of some BS just happened but I still gotta do my job, but Fck it it’ll be my last day” and once I seen him say goodbye at the end of the match I was like Yeaahh I bet that’s for some reason the last time we see punk in AEW
Joe’s face in that match said so much as well.
There was a twitter video from someone in the crowd after his match where you could see him mouth "GOODBYE" to the crowd. Think he knew that was his last match. Real shame how it all ended.
@@Karterwolff smh and all for what tho? A waste
So did his exit at All In
I have never been so disappointed with how this all ended
Punk and these shoot promos were literally the ticket to taking AEW to another level. I guarantee like Punk or not Vince would've done whatever he had to do to keep this angle going. Tony fired the biggest and brightest star in the industry in order to appease a bunch of indie fools. Tony wanted everyone to be happy. If that's your first concern as a promoter you're a fuckin mark. Vince would've been out of business after 5 years if he thought that way.
Really? Kinda seen ALL this coming the moment they hired the low life cancer honestly.
@@travelreview5962 You're right. Vince stood by wrestlers who think could make more money, even if they're hated in the locker room, because he's a businessman first.
Vince would’ve but honestly if punk did the same thing in wwe how vince would’ve reacted.
Since punk was apparently chiming for a wwe return according to fightful
But idk it’s a very different landscape but I do wanna point out to the ultimate warrior’s story in wwe where he was giving a lot and was ultimately fired when he challenged vince
Not a similar story since warrior never threatened staff or vince with violence but idk if vince would’ve kept the angle or would’ve fired him out right
@@evillain19xx 100%... and you are going to have to have the same mindset if you want to build anything near the same level as he has. The business today may be prettier and more politically correct, but make no mistake there has never been a more difficult time than hire to compete for peoples attention than now. You are going to have to make difficult decisions every day and screwing up this bad can be a nail in the coffin.... especially if Punk decided to go back to WWE.
This entire video is the most modern wrestling I’ve been able to sit through in a LONG time. You can really see the difference of telling a story and classic psychology, and just doing moves.
One chapter ends, and another one starts.
Congratulations to CM Punk to returning to the WWE!
The return to professionell Wrestling! Not that WCW wannabe

Not gonna lie, his match with Joe at the Largest paid attendance in Wrestling history is actually a phenomenal swan song for his career. [>

As long as Kenny omega and young bucks stay in aew... It won't even be a 50% of what wwe is... When NJPW, who always sends their wrestlers with respect and honor to other companies had issues with Kenny omega, you need to understand how big off a arsehole he is...
CM punk is too old school to hang out with these guys...
Imagine using a popular faction like bullet club and being in it just to promote their own elite group and leaving it😅...
Wrestler control Aew and they don't listen to management...
You’re one of the top wrestling content creators in this space. Thank you for this. keep it up!
It's a shame it ended this way.
Ikr but atleast we got to see him return to wrestling in general
@@KaiTheCheetahTrue but to see him become what he claimed to despise? That was not what I wanted to see. He started to believe his own hype and BS. Remember how he said NOBODY is bigger than the people, or the business. Then he became just that, or HE THOUGHT HE WAS. Now not all the blame is or falls on him. There are a few people, a few people who again believe that they are bigger than they truly are. Executive Vice Presidents, which is LOL, NOT AN ACTUAL TITLE!! The Elite, the Young Sucks, Kenny Omega, etc, turned into schoolboy crybabies! Whaah!! he picked on me, Whaah!! Now I'm not condoning what Punk did. He truly acted like a SPOILED BRAT! And now as hard as this is to say, maybe the wwe had a reason to fire his *ss? And I can't stand the wwe, but Punk acted like a little Punk. I can't understand why his ego got so big. Why he started to believe he was a god among men? Yes he was a great wrestler, and yes his return was one of the biggest POPS ever in Pro Wrestling, but in the end he was still just a wrestler. He seemed to feel that he didn't need to do what the other wrestlers did, since he was "royalty"? Again something he claimed he hated about the wwe. And yeah the Elite may have come across as Royalty, but Punk's big mouth didn't help matters. This entire fiasco was because of ONE THING! EGOS! Guys had too big of an Ego, other guys had their Egos bruised, and some may just be total A-Holes? Either way, this turned into a schoolyard slap fest. I had hoped Luke Perry's kid wasn't some entitled little brat. He may not be? I wasn't there, and the TRUE ACTUAL FACTS of what happened between them, well each person will have a different "recollection" of what happened. What could have been an amazing experience and a cornerstone of professional wrestling, became a joke!
Who knows maybe the wwe planted Philly Brooks in AEW to cause chaos and create animosity? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Hmmmmmm? LOL.
he’s a cancer , it was inevitable , not a shame when you self sabotage everywhere you go
Bro fr I thought this time would be different
It didn't have to. If Tony had any balls, treated it like a business instead of fantasy booking with real life action figures, trying to be everyone's friend, didn't put people in positions they neither deserved nor earned, I could go on, but with the counterfeit Bucks marks in here, it would be pointless. Mind you, I have always had an issue with Punks backstage antics, but don't make objective statements based on your subjective perspective
His run in June when he came back honestly is my favorite AEW run of his, it felt more raw, and I wished we seen the Real World title story play out with MJF
Punk's exit from AEW will always be legendary. Beat the shit out of Jack Perry, yelled at his boss, came out and fought Joe like nothing happened, winning the match in front of a massive 80,000+ crowd chanting his name and theme song, says goodbye and walks out knowing he's done, gets fired, chills for 2 months, then shows back up in WWE.
I'll always be of the belief that Punk was ready to leave after Brawl Out, but Tony wouldn't let him out of his contract, so he fought Perry to force his hand. His little smirk as he came out implies that he knew he was out, and was ready to go out on top. I hope he managed to keep the belt lol.
Edit: so the theory that he wanted out after Brawl Out was more or less confirmed by him. He was ready to leave, and actually told Tony "I quit" before going out and wrestling his biggest match. Lol
He also stated he wanted to quit well before that
This is a phenomenal FILM as a documentary, let alone how great the content itself is. Keep making these!
The reason for downfall of CM punk is phill brookes

You should change your username to @ChronicallyOnline. At least make your schtick make sense.
Very well done, very neutral documentary. It’s a shame it all ended like this. Personally, if some things are to be believed, Punk did try and work it out with the Elite and co, but they weren’t budging. I’m of the opinion that by the time he came back on Collision, he had wanted out of AEW (the visit to RAW backstage, making amends with some people before he was told he had to leave leads me to think this way). IMHO, there are people on the AEW roster who aren’t the most mature, and there is no structure in place to help them swim (or sink). Guys like Jack Perry and Adam Page fall into that category, though I feel if it wasn’t Jack Perry it would have been someone else that initiated Punk’s exit. He wanted out.
I was a very casual AEW fan until they brought back CM Punk. I started watching every week after that. My dog watched with me. If his behavior was any indication, he was a CM Punk mark; his ear would perk up when he heard “Cult of Personality” start, his little stubby tail would start going a mile a minute. He passed away from a very aggressive form of cancer the afternoon of September 2nd. A few hours later, Tony Khan made the announcement. It was just a bad day all around.
Hope you get a new dog and make him watch punk in wwe :)
@@dewamshah8713 thanks. I hope so too. That was my little boy.
Thanks for making this. I haven’t watched wrestling regularly since the early 2000’s but I keep an eye on the major drama and my brother is still a huge fan. I heard about this drama but knew nothing, glad you made this so I can catch up
Watching wrestling storylines like this is always the best can’t wait to see how you’re gonna do The Bloodline story
The body language between Omega and Punk’s when they’re talking about “ the incident” speaks volumes to me:
Punk is angry, confrontational, and generally gives off a “do not f*** with me, or I will end you” vibe.
Kenny is tired, sad, and really regretful of the entire incident.
To be fair Kenny omega attacked him with 3 friends vs 1 person. The EVP’s are jealous sensitive cowards. Punk has the right to be fucking upset about that.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037Dude, you chatted so much s**t. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. Prove it. Prove that the EVPs attacked CM Punk 3 on 1. PROVE IT. You chat so much s**t because everything you said didn't happened at all. Now tell me when I'm telling lies for I most certainly can tell when you are.
Sorry for lashing out but it's super dirty of people spreading bs about this because it makes their fee-fee feel better. People need to stick to facts and stop spreading rumours that not even CM PUNK communicated. Not even a news flash but it was CM PUNK that confirmed that he struck the ELITES first, and he tried to say it was because the elite kicked down his door, which he changed to they barged through the door, and then changed again to say they opened the doors aggressively and hit his dog. Sorry, to backtrack that many times is you (punk) losing the argument. Plus this so called attack was done in front of the head of legal and head of talent relations in the same room. You think the elite attack cm punk when they brought those two heads with them? Illogical, senseless and clearly not true. They came to talk for they were his bosses, not to fight.Tell me when I'm telling lies.
Don't spread lies and false narratives. Stick to the facts. Do not focus and hyperbole claims for claims are not facts. All CM Punk proven through this is he loves to hyperbole, turn baseless claims to facts, and he cannot move on as he spur crap again even after giving someone their receipt. Case in point, hangman page.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037 the only problem with your story is kenny omega didnt attack anyone, he tryed to protect the dog and was attacked by acesteel tooth lol... thats the story that the cm punk camp told.
Nobody attacked anyone beside Punk suckerpunching, throwing chairs and Ace biting. Stop changing the story to make Punk look like he defended himself.
The Elite took Punks invantation to talk after he shit on aew and them publicly, bringing the vice President megha parekh with them.
You dort do that if you want to attack someone.
Kenny is the Adult in that group is the bucks who are the problem and act like victims. Feel bad for kenny because he gets drag into this because of "his buddies"
Another fascinating thing that didn't make it into the documentary was when Hangman won his world title (before Punk), the crowd chanted "you deserve it" and he replied "no, I earned it". Which Punk then usurped for himself, at the same time proclaiming Max stealing his catch phrase. The lines of story and reality were never more blurred than this era. What a tragedy.
A treagedy ?????????????? No one died dude there is no tragedy, in fact it's a good thing that all this bs is over
Imagine The Rock calling Stone Cold out, an Stone Cold didn't come out.
@@-Trauma. yes the audacity that he was not in the building,
and if he was he is a bad guy to not respond to a child calling him out.

how about when adam page chopped him in the mouth and didnt want to talk to punk back stage to clear things up
@@DDW50 hey if I was Hangman and I didn't go out there, I'd tell everyone I wasn't in the building either. "I'm saving AEW from You!" He says, from home.
That moment when Punk salutes Wembley and says, "Goodbye"....He knew he was leaving one way or another. I look forward to whatever Punker does next.

Amen
he's finished
@@DWOLF777they fired their top draw “with cause”*
Punk has his fanbase, but he clearly wanted out by any means. It’s best for both parties if he’s out of AEW to explore other options. WWE would be the best case scenario, but I don’t know if Punk can swallow his pride to walk back some of his criticisms of WWE. He’d look like a hypocrite, on some level. And he clearly has some enemies there, to this day.
@AirshipOverWater he didn't want out. He was fired. With cause was mentioned because they didn't want there to be any confusion as to who was at fault for his firing.
And WWE doesn't want him.
Nobody with a brain wants him in their company. He creates a toxic workplace wherever he goes, be it WWE, ROH, or AEW. And he was never the top star in WWE during his time there; John Cena was, so it wasn't jealousy that people disliked him for. They don't hate Cena like they hated Punk, and Cena buried everyone. That's saying something
EDIT after WWE return: Actually, there are people without brains running WWE who thought bringing Punk back was a good idea... let's see if he can outlast this contract
Amen brother
This is probably one of the better Wrestling documentary channels on RUclips right now.
I tried to get into the business years ago. (I have a different look being Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian) UPW (Cena was the Prototype there) accepted me but the 9-11 tragedy stopped the move in 2001. Had a match with Yuji Nagata and another with Dragon Gate. Did a Chikara event with Generico, Fire Ant, Eddie Kingston and others. Teddy Hart moonsaulted on my head. Almost had a match with AJ Styles. My FCW tryout was with AJ Lee and Adam Rose. Did a promo in front of the legendary Dusty Rhodes. I had a smackdown tryout where I helped a run in with Matt Hardy. It was a short run but my regrets are not getting to meet and learn from all the greats. Thankfully I didn't get too hurt in those years.
And to everyone who is chasing their dream, don't give up. I hope you get farther than me.
Dude, I have a lot of respect for you making it as far as you did! Not many people would’ve been able to pull that off and you clearly had some talent to be given a match with Yuji Nagata of all people. You may not have met and learned from ‘the greats’, but there are active wrestlers that would ache for the chance to face Nagata. I’m sorry things didn’t quite fall into place for you, but I reckon you’d have plenty to offer to anyone trying to make it today. I hope you’re happy with you and where you are today. Keep doing you, kaikunane 💪🏾
@@mjktrx Thank you for the kind words. I think I was 22 when I faced Nagata and still young in my career. (Had trained 5 years and would wrestle maybe another 5 or so) Took the exploder, nagata lock and everything. He was an awesome person.
I think that was a missed opportunity, as I was on the same card as Liger, Chono, Nagata and Kensuke Sasaki. I should have went to train in Japan immediately after that.

@@nohbuddy1 no matter what you think of some of your managers, your boss boss deserves respect. I like punk as a character but Phil brooks seems to be on a ego trip which was emboldened by a lack of structure in a suppose professional company. The WWE will check him if needed.

WOW. Well done. Shoutout to the flashback edit during Punk’s Collision entrance. Cutting in that black and white of his initial debut, with the ambience and everything… chills. 🤩
I gained respect for Kenny Omega with his stance
I respect Kenny more because of the reported rumor that he was willing to squash the beef with Punk. That’s a mature decision.
Rumor is Bucks refused.
Watching the interviews with the rumors in mind, it looks like Omega was always willing to resolve the matter and move forward while others weren’t [>
Kenny has came out of this looking better than the bucks by a landslide
The guy is 45, fights with people half his age over petty stuff. Back in WWE, no one stood up for him when he got fired, not even years later. Even his die-hards must see a pattern by now.
100%
His greatest talent is speaking his mind on the work ethics of certain wrestling companies, but that talent ended up being a key factor in his biggest downfall.
Guys, let's not exaggerate, all his former WWE colleagues talk about him with affection, the punk himself had to sue the WWE doctors who made him fight despite a serious injury , so I don't think he was wrong in abandoning them, Even in AEW he wasn't wrong, in fact he exposed what the actual problems of the federation are , And I really find this demonization of him ridiculous, do we really want to pretend that the EVPs or Jack Parry and Tony Khan have no responsibilities? Punk will certainly have a big ego but the same goes for the others already mentioned but the latter have also shown themselves to be lacking in professionalism.

@@rmmm4268 I'm simply telling the truth, if you then want to remain blind and see punk as the only ugly and bad one, perhaps the problem isn't him but you who take one side or the other based on your sympathies.
*Punk became the very thing he claimed to hate the most*
Mox was right about Punk.
"Enjoy your CM Punk while you can, cause he ain't gonna be here much longer. Fragile mind, fragile body, fragile ego." That promo stood with me for a while cause it felt like a shoot, now we see the long term results. It's disappointing how this all ended, at least we had the Punk vs MJF feud when we did cause Punk was a ticking time bomb, and not the good kind like Hiromu Takahashi.
The Eite really got y’all brainwashed and mind controlled huh 😂😂
Punk worked with self-important children like the bucks, that did not have the balls to even interact with him after they jumped him. They do not want to learn, they think they know everything and when somebody takes them up on it, they hide behind lawyers.
@@GQFJB Nah, Tony Khan, Jack Perry, Miro, Joe, Christopher Daniels and probably some other poor fools that don't even lift weights "brainwashed" us. Not a particular fan of The Elite here, good matches but not my favorite cup of tea. It's not about sides it's about knowing to be "the responsible adult in the room", remember that? Grow up, dude.
@@GQFJB the elite are immature. Punk attacked someone and then lunged for his boss, he deserved to be fired! "brainwashed", grow up kid.
I'll be honest, I was never really a fan of Punk when I was growing up and I had stopped watching WWE in 2009 so I missed his golden era in WWE. I couldnt have cared less of his return. Once he returned, I truly believe he was whats been missing in AEW. He took them to another level. Its dissapointing how things have turned out. This could have been one of the biggest fueds in wrestling history if the Elite and Punk worked together. Truly bluring the lines between shooting and working. Just like pro wrestling should be!
The Bucks refused [>
Even though i lost respect after he went back to a company he bashed so much, i really liked his run. One of the most interesting in recent years

Wanted Punk to return for yrs. But, didnt want to see it end this way. Sheds some light to the situation.
Truth of the matter is that people turned their back on CM Punk. They were behind him because of what he stood for and what he called out. Now they hate him because of what he stood for and called out. Look at Punk history from 2011 to now. Notice how he hasn't changed but the audience crapping on him did. I'm also noticing a pattern of media trying to crap on him at every opportunity.

AEW is a prime example to why samoa joe was wasted potential in WWE, he rocked the mic like it was nothing, and had unyielding charisma in the ring. glad to see he finally gets the respect he deserves
I personally don't see anything special about him in the ring or on the mic.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 yeah he's that one samoan who doesn't belong to Anoai Family
Joe’s biggest issue isn’t any of that, it’s the fact that he’s injury prone and can’t stay healthy long enough to work a story arc. This has been his problem since his TNA days. They recognized it early . That’s why they kept him in short, ground based matches after he was injured in the X Division title matches.
@@latresegarner931 true this is pretty the reason why WWE had to let him go.
If he never wrestle again this Compilation will b completely legendary.. The final Chapter of the Great CM Punk.. He brought a vibe to Pro Wrestling that was completely unique and different.. wether good or bad he was a hell of a Entertainer and will forever be one of Pro Wrestling Greats..
On the day Punk returned in 2021, I got bit by a brown recluse spider & ended up in the hospital for a week. On the day he came back the 2nd time, someone stole my identity & all of my money. I was afraid to see what would happen if it happened a third time.
HUH?!
I agree with many of the other comments. Was hoping i wouldn't be back here commenting on the end. You have done another fantastic job. You deserve to be compensated for your efforts. Great work.
Rather than overanalyzing a man I have never met, I will keep this comment simple. I hope CM Punk finds the help he needs, he is clearly in need of some help and has some pent up anger.
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him for standing up for himself when he was attacked, but lunging at your boss isn't tolerated at any level.
Sucks it ended this way. I just hope Punk finds inner peace no matter what is next.

@@Kr4ShSkeLyeah, people don't want to open their eyes. Is the same thing with the dirt sheet thing and Punk always giving info to Hausman, my guy is a hypocrite. Also, his story both times was always changing and changing, he's a narcissist and a liar
@@STORMYFWEATHERS True, but Tony didn't do shit to deserve it, if anything it's the opposite, Tony repeatedly bent over backwards deferring to Punk over and over again, also it was a repeated offense, and it's painfully obvious Punk has PROBLEMS. He's always starting shit or threatening to start it, insulting people publicly then getting mad when others dish it back (much softer, no less), and has beef with people who don't have beef with anybody else.
Punk deserved absolutely everything he got, and probably more, tbh.
CM Punk wasn’t attacked in either incident. He attacked people both times.
Great editing skills..Well put together video. you should be proud.
"I wouldve lost a popularity contest" says the dude who was so popular fans chanted his name for 7 years straight after he left. The persecution complex is off the charts.
I fell bad for TK and AEW fans. They signed CM Punk but Phill Brooks showed up instead. Amazing documentary, you got a new subscriber in me
I felt bad for thinking AEW is better workplace than WWE.
You have made a significant contribution to the history of wrestling through the creation of these videos. Congratulations and thank you.
Awesome Video!! Can't wait for the AEW RECAP Videos (ie. Start, Covid Years, etc.)
That’s a great idea!!! Year in Review would be great videos.
One thing that always struck me with the Brawl Out Gripe Bomb is that he brings up that Colt Cabana shares a bank account with his mom over and over. As if taking care of your family is a bad thing. He just never understood how anyone could ever have a worldview other than his, and historically, that makes for the worst type of coworker. And when you add that this is already a business known for big muscles and bigger egos, it was a recipe for disaster from the start. I liked him when I was younger, and I was excited to see him return. But it feels like I grew up, and he didn't. What a waste of a legacy.
Errrr he’s been working with children and frankly with years of experience you tend to listen and take in from those things and NOT act the age of your shoe size.
It’s AEW loss and frankly they need him
He doesn’t need them.

Punk is a good character but his personal life has made him nuts. Even when he tries to espouse morality and rights he's often short-sighted and isn't ground in any objectivity or absolutes.
Even his "high ground" is maintained out of fear not morality.
Or his own gain

@@joebentley2803 yeah, good point. Financial incentives.
CM Punk just following the trends and current zeitgeist. He couldn't hold a reasonable conversation on the philosophical grounds for holding his trendy views. He just follows whatever is Twitter friendly

@@coreym8145 is business trying to punch your boss?

In all seriousness, I've heard they gave Punk creative control of Collision while they still had him on the show. And it was honestly a brilliant move, even if it was just to keep The Elite off the roster.
Cant believe CM Punk returned to WWE faster than the release of GTA6
gta 5 release cm punk in wwe
gta 6 release cm punk back in wwe

Hilarious his apology calling people soft considering he's always been soft and caused problems in EVERY lockeroom he's been in dating back to the indies yet he still believes it's everyone else and not him that's the problem. He's the common denominator like it or not.
Facts
He never really had problems until aew. The wwe thing was his only other big incident and that was justified
He blew it! He had it all and he blew it! CM Punk have wasted his chances at his comeback story. What a shame, what a disappointment.
Yeah because he is so mean and angry and a bitter old man, we know that. All of this is his fault 100% of it.
First time i watched a 80 mins video on RUclips and every minute was worth it
Tony's reason for firing punk just makes him look pathetic
Punk attacked a guy backstage and admitted to trying to choke him. That's a really good reason to fire someone, even if AEW played it up a little too much when telling their audience
Assaulting a coworker? Protecting his non wrestling staff is pathetic? Get a grip babe
The Punk v Ricky Starks feud & the Punk v Joe feud had so much potential, all of that momentum just ruined.

It's disappointing that we won't be seeing Punk anymore. Entertainment wise he's an absolute delight to have around, there's never a dull moment with him, and he really has one of the biggest personalities I've ever seen. But I mean, come on man. How in fucks name do you get in another physical altercation after the first blow up where the CEO had to create a completely separate show to accommodate you since more than half the roster doesn't want to work with you? Just blows my mind. I'll always be a fan of CM Punk and his edginess, but his glaring anger problems and mental health issues need to be addressed at this point. It almost seems like he's getting way more bitter with age.
+sailgoat4733
You took the words right out of my mouth.
It doesn’t for me. Punk is paranoid because he worked for HHH and Vinny K Mac JR. They did a lot of petty BS to screw him over. Punk thought TK was doing that to him at this major PPV.
He was already upset. Moreover, he was dealing with clear bias reporting because The Elite would talk to dirt sheets.
It makes total sense to me albeit it is still greatly disappointing. [>
@@kaineshigaraki5253but he’s 45 years old dude. There’s gotta be a time in your life where you stop having a chip on your shoulder or you’ll end up alone and bitter. With that said, this is all comes back to Tony not knowing how to run a wrestling company.
@@Thor-Orion AEW isn’t like WWE. AEW are in charge of transportation for their wrestlers, at least for big events. WWE aren’t.
Punk had nobody from AEW helping him get to the arena. He was lost. He called the number and it was the wrong number. Punk barely makes it in on time and sees another wrestler running his mouth.
Yes. Punk is the veteran and should’ve acted better, but I understand it. Punk was already upset (mind you that AEW personnel was a Young Bucks crony), Perry added more fuel to the fire.
Punk’s problem isn’t having a chip on his shoulder, it’s how he chooses to deal with it. Punk is candid and confrontational. That’s NOT a good business move. [>
Suggesting the aptly named Punk has a mental health issue is a disservice to people who lived through actual tragedy and suffering; soldiers unknowingly stepping in their friends head or children walking into a room with a suddenly dead parent or, say, someone with schizophrenia.
CM Punk just refuses to learn to grow up; unfair to one to compare to the other, is my long winded 2 cents.
I think Jack Perry was being immature about the glass but Punk really didn’t need to come at him like he did, sad it ended this way.
I feel like that's the problem, again this is the third incident where Punk (being Punk) offers advice, they take it wrong they get butt hurt they spread toxicity and rumors through the locker room made it harder for Punk ro get through to new wrestlers who "heard the rumors" and follow, that
Clearly, you haven't dealt with disrespectful children. If that jobber threw his stupid tantrum back in the Attitude Era, man, it would've been his funeral. LMAO
@@roldirevan2130
Too bad it’s not the attitude era
This was a fantastic piece of work. As an older wrestling fan, this has been such an interesting story. Because I kind of understood where Punks frustration came from, him being the older more experienced wrestler wanting to help the younger guys. But in tern the hungry younger talent not wanting to take advise from the older guy who's on much more money than them and thinks he knows everything. I suspect if Punk was a better communicator, he could of been an undertaker style father to the locker-room. However we all know that Punk has never been great at playing with others and when he tried to give out 'advise' probably didn't articulate it well and ended up just angering people. Its a shame this had to happen the way it did, but that said I don't think we've seen the last of CM Punk.
The only thing with that is that it isn't a generational thing. Jericho has said multiple times that he didn't get on with Punk because he was a know-it-all who claimed to speak for the locker room when he didn't put in the work to actually build that rapport, trust, and respect. Everyone always knew he just went into the business for himself, and he felt like it was world war 3 whenever anyone called him on that.
I would love to have a locker room leader in there, especially with a relatively young roster, but he only wanted to talk the talk and never walk the walk.
he's finished. one apple can rotten the bunch
Punk will be in WWE by year's end.
@@coltsfan354 yeah quoting Jericho is not really a good example either.
@Janitillo how would you know are you in locker room or are you listening to reading stuff from Dave Meltzer? When jungle boy joke Perry wanted to use real glass and he was advised not too that tells you who is really in control of a company!!!!! WWE has controls and lets people know wrestlers might not like it but they follow it. Tony Fanboy Kahn has no business running a show or company without REAL people running it not the fake Elite. You should probably look at the real reason Cody left and it was due to disrespect to him.

i rewatched Punks WWE documentary the other night, he really hasnt changed his morels or who he is.
So did I. He’s always been this way wether you agree with or not.
Agreed. He's always been an absolute arsehole.
As much as I've always loved Punk, the backstage in AEW did become a lot more combative and leaky when he joined and it stayed that way throughout this time there. The irony considering he said one thing that made him join was how quiet they kept on Brodie Lee. It's a bummer it played out this way, but you can't go around punching and choking coworkers that you don't like, and you definitely can't lunge at your boss. Anyone defending Punk here would get fired immediately if they tried that in the workplace. They gave Punk everything from tons of money, multiple world titles, his own show that he had a lot of control over, and it still wasn't enough.
CM Punk should just start his own promotion.
All the people who comment defending Punks actions blow my mind with that, everyone gets lost in the minutia. To quote Fred Durst; “THE HE SAID SHE SAID BULLSH”. It makes no difference who was right or wrong (they were all wrong) it just sucks no one could figure out a way too make it work. Punk is just so headstrong, volatile, and has head stuck up his own ass with “how he thinks things should be”. Anyone who walks around with the vibes of “I’m right, yes, I’m the most right and everyone else is wrong only I know what’s right” has the tendency to be pretty annoying. Probably a million times more annoying when that person has a lot of perceived power.
And yea, there’s no denying that people were messing with him, but he handled the situation like a 15 year old at a hardcore show. I genuinely remember kids from high school who thought and acted just like him and all those guys were assholes.
@@royb5820This all comes down to Tony Khan. CM Punk said himself in the ESPN interview that he was tired of things never being dealt with and things would never get resolved because like it or not Tony Khan is not a leader and doesn’t know how to run a wrestling company.

He’s definitely very inexperienced as a boss, I just hope he’s able to learn from his mistakes.
@@royb5820Him being a giant wrestling nerd is why his company hasn't turned a profit. It's why he allowed the cliques of the socal wrestling scene run around and do and say what they want.

Tony Khan isn't some coked out evil individual, but he is God awful at his job. There have been so many red flags when it comes to him and how he runs his company.
Punk has to understand…these guys are young. People make mistakes. When punk came in 2008. He had leadership like taker, Kane, hhh etc in wwe. At his age, he needs to be a leader and let the BS go.
Good point
And don't you think that's what he always tried to do? But no, it's a lose-lose situation for him always, if he's trying to be a leader, he's narcissistic and who does he think he is? If he doesn't act, then he's a coward and as a "megastar veteran" should've done better...
I still believe this was all out of jealousy from the supposed EVPs to make him look bad through media, I mean, you don't see anyone talking about what the others did, it's always Punk that is the POS in the situation...
Still baffles me how after that BABY FACE vs BABY FACE promo between Punk and Adam Paige, people get behind Adam Paige like he's some kind of saint for delivering that promo, I mean I would understand if Punk was a heel, but not in that specific situation...
And what about not following advice, like wtf 😂 are you the mister know it all? What a joke and yet people still get behind a guy that is this selfish and shit on Punk just because it's easy to.
@@Psykokiller1 then “he a coward” who was saying that to him. It’s literally his own ego and y’all blindness to him to make up such narratives. He clearly has anger issues. And it’s y’all cult like fans of his that has pushed him into this ego trip alongside the pandering Tony did . He’s never wrong in y’all eyes when it’s clearly shown he never believes he is wrong, is thin skinned, and videos have shown him to be the aggressor towards Jack.
What should have shook the foundation, leveled the entire run before we ever got going. I love Punks realism with the business. He knows how to make his mark but man does he know how to steam roll right off the rails at times. Fans waited years for him to make the comeback and unfortunately it ended in a way none of us wanted.
