What did you think about CM Punk's return?
It is awesome and so refreshing to see CM Punk back (in a sense, because he works for FOX not WWE)
LOVE IT
That i care only about punk, the product is horrible but punk is great
I think it’s refreshing to see him back because he does love the sport, he just wasn’t happen with the people who ran it and how they did it. Now that he’s just with Fox and can be involved it’s exactly what he needs
One of the best moments in 2019
never would i have thought i would see cm punk on the herd lol
GAIGE they had Rollins, Triple H and now their a part of fox
I know right?
3 years ago he was on the herd!!!
GAIGE su!!
Me either man 😂 but I’m glad he was this was an awesome segment
I could only imagine the debates cm punk would have with skip, Shannon, Colin, and god knows who else.
After I get the blessings of skip Bayless I will ask CM punk to join us on undisputed
Shannon Sharp “Can we get Punk on, SKIP? Can we get him on SKEEEIIIP.”
Zach Stolpa prime cm punk in promos and Stephen A sound like gold. If we can somehow get these 2 together to have a legitimate crossover where they have something to talk about or argue about, someone make it happen.
Stephen a Smith
Fantasy booking CM Punk debates may be my new favorite thing
The MMA thing went poorly but I’m glad he’s back in his spot where he’s had the most success. Good for him
Fair play to him for trying though, especially when he really didn’t need too. He’s got my respect.
StepKickKing yeah he’s definitely earned respect for putting in work & trying. More than most people would do, let alone most millionaires. Seem’s like he’s just a passionate dude who goes after whatever he feels passionate about
@ArtistKnownasRUclips dude got stomped and looked like an absolute joke. i guess there is a difference between real and fantasy!
Probably didn't help they had him fight younger fellas who were proper professionals in the sport. He should have fought the original Green Power Ranger, Jason David Frank.
@@bacardibum Bruh he only had like a year of training before he went to the UFC. You'd get smashed too. Most of those guys in the UFC train for 3+ years before they even go pro.
I'm a simple man. I see a video with CM Punk.
I click.

Same here dude...
Likewise brethren
Original comment. Never heard that before.
Punks points are so valid it’s not even funny
Not the women's division one... It's been plummeting ratings since it started and they both strongly agree that they are the "strength of the WWE right now".
@@quigglyjohnston6118 Everything they're doing has plummeted ratings dont put it all on the women
I just think that the brand split saved ratings and then they ruined it with terrible storylines and this is why AEW is winning the ratings war
Hes an idiot who thinks he knows everything
@@mellycone5317 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Who would have guessed, herd actually treated wrestling like an actual sport.
Years ago he'd treat it as second rate entertainment. I think when he went to that event then having people like good ole JR on his perception started changing but I'm sure Fox getting Smackdown had something to do with it
Just because it's scripted, doesn't mean it's fake. Those guys workout HARD.
He has to obey the CEO of Fox: "I paid millions of dollars to hire CM Punk, if you mess up my investment you are fired".
Which wrestling? Like actual olympic wrestling, or just entertainment wrestling? Or both?
@@devo076 Imagine if it wasn't. Basically a gladiator match every week lol.
Found it funny that Colin called him “CM” when his usual shorthand name is “Punk” lol
Isaiah Lot Of Things COYB
Prolly cuz cowherd finds it funny that that means chick magnet
Isaiah Lot Of Things
Lol.
Damn him for not knowing that. I honesty would have a problem calling a grown man CM Punk, Cm or Punk.
Charles Montgomery Punk
Love that CM Punk is back and has no filter. Dude is so talented in the ring, on the mic, writing and I agree with a lot of his opinions. 🙏🏻
Sean Nasti because it’s not a sport. Sport is actual competition not scripted match ups
Izaan ur rehman except there’s a lot of bitching especially with women. Also most go over the match with the agents working the match. So it’s a play. Do nfl teams let each other score touchdowns?
Izaan ur rehman it’s fake. Kinda real moves but fake. Sports aren’t fake and aren’t scripting who wins. So no it’s not a sport.
He is not talented in the ring, he has charisma on the mic.
Same here. Plus he's also an atheist like I am. ^_^
Randy “6 Inch Lifts” Orton
that made me laugh
Crazy how Randy wrestles better in "6 inch lifts" then 90% of the roster
@@proudiofficial He doesn't wear 6 inch lifts lol they're more like an inch or two at best. He isn't 6 ft nothing in normal shoes
@@ThePunk01 I was defending him, either he wears 6 inch lifts and still wrestles amazing, or he doesn't and this comment by Punk was lame.
@@proudiofficial I think punk meant it more jokingly, so i don't think it's lame.
Its a Shame his wife doesnt still wrestle. She was a few years ahead of this era of women like Becky, Charlotte and Sasha
Oh yeah Aj lee was what Becky Charlotte Sasha is rn b4 it was mainstream
dvon1097 hot take that era with Kaitlyn and AJ Lee etc etc was better than the current women’s division
CM Punk = best male wrestler
AJ Lee = best female wrestler
AJ Lee and Paige were the original revolutionists of this era
Spoiler...stay tuned 😉
haha calling out Randy Orton for wearing lifts in his boots
Snitch
I was just about to comment on this 😂 Randy is a tall guy but those lifts definitely give him an edge lol
@@DTey22 Punk mentioned something about wrestlers who used lifts a few years ago(I think on the Colt Cana Podcast he did) but he didn't mention names. Now he finally said who it was LMAO
Well it’s marketing. Big Show is definitely not 500lbs. Kane is not a 7 footer
@@kennethjose7159 at one point Big Show actually was 500 pounds.
This is a confusing crossover at best.
You’re funny
Not really. CM Punk is a Fox analyst who on a Fox radio/TV show to talk about the WWE.
Lol, I'm legitimately surprised that Orton wears lifts. The guy is already naturally tall, he's like 6'4" barefoot.
Very few guys don't wear lifts. They're supposed to be "larger than life" so giving a couple inches helps to show that. It's becoming less so now with the smaller guys though
Taker is a legit 6’8 but they needed him to be 6’1. same with glenn guy is a legit 6’9 but they’re pushing towards that 7ft. Just to look larger on screen.
Orton is 6'3 but with his lifts he's 6'5.
Fernicus Maximus Orton is 6’4
He is 6'2"
This is awesome haha two of the best talkers in their profession on the same show.
Spiderman meets Spiderman
Nah, get him on First Take with Stephen A. Smith and then we will see.
Cm did it a couple times
If undertaker is here, he will call him ‘the’
His name sounds like a story😑
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because he called him 'CM' right?
Hahahahahaha
More like under
I need a CM Punk / Shannon Sharpe debate ASAP
Oh Lord Skip 😄 U a Cowboys fan CM naw 🎤💣
@@stepkickking9868 right
that would be the best
Skeeeuup
Omg yass!!!! Lol
I was at that Survivor Series too, & I can confirm we were chanting, "CM Punk," 😂
Yeahh! That was amazing for a new guy like CM Punk. But what was the real reason for chanting his name at that day? Just because of he is new or you guys were already liking him? I am just a curious CM Punk fan.
Cm Punk: “I don’t like to call myself a superstar”
Also Cm Punk: “IM THE BEST IN THE WORLDDDDD!!!!”
Part of branding from the WWE
wibowo pangestu yeah I know 😂
@@Killatrav87 yeah im just sayin bro haha the contradictive things
Best wrestlers
that his wwe slogan
I would like to see Kevin Owens sit down with Punk.
"do you work for the NFL?"
🤣🤣🤣
🔥
Voice of the Voiceless, Saviour of Wrestling as a whole
He is getting paid millions to come back, can’t blame him.
He's getting paid to criticize wwe, that s exaclty what he was doing before except before he was getting sued for it. lol
He's not back
Well since his mma career flopped what else is he going to do that makes him big money?
SteelCity1981 exactly lol
@@RhinoXpress
I honestly don't think he himself thought it would work out. I mean, the dude is in his 40s and he was never an MMA guy. He was always a spectacular wrestler and as hard as that career can be, it is nothing like actual fighting. He was a big deal when he left WWE and I'd reckon he decided to use tht popularity to get UFC who'd definitely see that new power of his to put "butts on seats" and get a big pay off. Even if that meant he had to get beat up. Twice 😂
I think that was a cleaver business decision and now he is paid by Fox, a partner of WWE, to mouth off on the company that he hated and quit.
Talk about WINNING 😆
5:30 , I like how he just randomly picks up the cup and sets it down like there was nothing in it lol
I knew before I clicked that Colin would call him "C.M." at some point in the interview.
I never thought seeing Punk and Colin talking is what I needed
Colin is everywhere with his questions and you can tell wwe is not his thing but he is trying tho
CM Punk seems as if he's serving as the legitimate stepping stone professional wrestling needs to be looked at legitimately
Woah this definitely caught me off guard
My all time favorite wrestler hands down
- Best In The World 🙌🏻🌎

Tristian Cargle you already knowing hiei for life haha
@@vlon3lyboiii666 Yep a fan of Hiei
Tristian Cargle I see your a man of great taste well done 🤘🏼💨
Years ago I read about that, Triple H putting his arm around Punk while the crowd were chanting CM PUNK!
HHH probably got freaking jealous lol and tried to find a way to bury him.
I never knew how much I wanted this crossover
CM Punk is exactly what WWE needs! He's not a yes man, he won't listen to Vince, he loves the business, he loves the talent, and he will tell it like it is! Hopefully with the things he says and Fox backing WWE we can actually see some REAL change in WWE!
Cm Punk was my favorite wrestler when I was in high school. I did like his first intro song by killswitch engage way more than his song cult of personality lol
Brett Butler straight edge arc was so lit 🔥
Straight Edge for life.
The Killswitch song was brilliant, but I think Cult Of Personality is the best because it actually mirrors his public persona in a lot of ways.
I prefer Cult of Personality, but I remember him using it on the indie scene way before he went to wwe.
I like both imo
he mentioned that same survivor series moment when he was doing a promo with Triple H with the "imaginary brass rings" funny he still remembers it all this time later.
First time I have watched anything with Colin involved in probably 4 years. That is how big a deal CM Punk is.
Now, just to be fair. This was an excellent interview. The questions were nicely presented. The conversation was delightful. Well done.
He had to come correct or cm punk would drop a pipe bomb on him 😂😂
Colin is way bigger than cm punk
"Dubya Dubya E" 😂
When CM left wwe I left wwe.
Janco Ice Rockets same here bro
Come back bro....cz things are getting better.. don't believe me?
Watch Undisputed era vs the revival which happened this Wednesday.... Pure gold!!!
Nxt is the brightest thing rn...it's gonna makes WWE a level apart
@@BenNeedsATheme4aDream I'll do that thank you
@@BenNeedsATheme4aDream No one right now have the mic skills like punk, rock others.
Plastic fan
I know he's not a perfect human being, but he's such an insightful look into professional wrestling.
CM Punk 🔥
Is it just me or do CM Punk and Colin seem like the exact same person..
Good point! Lol
This was actually a great interview
3:27 Yeah, Punk definitely knows how rough it can feel to be shell shocked...
*ahem* Ryback *ahem*
*ahem* shots fired *ahem*
“ I’m not back I’m work with you now, I’m Fox Employee” lol 😂
CM Punk seems like a pretty cool guy
Maybe not if you're Colt Cabana.
He is
Daniel Stack colt cabana brought that on himself
@@Brandon_093 well Colt may think that, guess it's between those two
Daniel Stack punk won the lawsuit. Like I said he brought it on himself
I saw this interview in my suggestion for about a week and thought "oh they just got CM Punk on because of Backstage" and didn't watch it
Then I saw the interview Colin had with JR and was thoroughly surprised. Colin actually kind of let his hair down with JR and showed he actually is familiar with the sport. I'm glad I did it this way so that when I watched this video it's no surprise that doesn't ask the typical dumb questions most mainstream sports people ask when it comes to wrestling
8:06 Idk why but it gives me some kind of delusion seeing CM Punk mention something about The Hardy Boyz, hopefully someday he talks about Jeff and their great rivalry back in the day
CM Punk is exactly right and just said what I’ve been saying for a while now! WWE shows are like New York City where there’s unnecessary lights and screens and it should go back to the way it was when people actually enjoyed it, WWE is all about the kids nowadays, throw the script away
Imagine having CM Punk and Joel Klatt on The Herd at the same time giving Colin a hard time that will be amazing.
Rowdy Roddy Piper was my favorite for the same reasons CM Punk cited.
His eyes at the start when he says im not back i work with you now....those eyes are trying to say im not a hypocrite i work for fox lmaoo
Two best talkers in sports, my dreams have come true
No. Freaking. Way. They. Made. It. Happen. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
RKO OUTTA NOWHERE
One thing I've realized looking back at Cm punk's reigns as wwe champion is that alot of people actually benefited from it. John Cena benefited, Ryback got a small push, Alberto Delerio got a push and actually became champion, Big Show got his first WWE championship opportunity in like 20 years, and the Rock got his first wwe championship opportunity in like 20 years and won.
Wrestling was great when guys like Rick Flair made up his own speeches - woooooo - now it’s all scripted by writers.
That's why I like AEW, there's not a single writer there.

Seeing this interview is a sigh of relief ive had in awhile with CM Punk
Thank you for this great interview! CM punk is the man 😎🎉👏
Never thought I'd see Colin and Chick Magnet Punk together, awesome!!
Gotta hand it to Cowherd, he actually did some research for this interview and was well prepared. He isn't always when it comes to anything outside of NBA or NFL.
Lol they cut the part when Colin said "when punk is your last name..."
JC Romano it was cool thou
november 2006 debut at survivor series. november 2019 return to survivor series...haha i wish
Amelia YOU NEVER KNOW 🤷🏽♂️
Amelia oh really I didn‘t know that. Pleaaaase let it be
Punk didn’t debut at the Survivor Series in 2006...
@@poorweakcua6372 well he didnt
OvER 18 DID I SAY HE WAS GOING TO SHOW UP IDIOT? MY COMMENT WAS MORE OF A MAYBE NOT A CERTAINTY FOOL.
He's playing this up perfectly, keeping his actual return quiet and unannounced. Should be good viewing
And the Emmy for best performance in " PRETENDING TO CARE " goes to........... Colin Cowherd 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Roddy Piper and Jake Roberts were my favs growing up, awesome wrestlers and the best on the mic
Wish CM Punk would call Colin out for bashing wrestling before Fox acquired Smackdown rights
Tony D he was right thou, is ric flair wrestling too???
Brock did this already. Look it up.
He did call him out at the end
Christopher Avila: what Brock? You mean Brock Lesnar or someone else? And where did they say that
His tattoos still look amazing
Credit to Colin. You can tell the guy has never seen the product but he can still be a great interviewer and keep up with the conversation.
He went to a show and met with the McMahons last year he said it during the interview.
Ok and? Doesn’t exactly make you a die hard
“the guy has *never* seen the product.” I guess you don’t know what the word never means.
I have a grasp of the word “never” like you have a grasp of generalizations
I’m not trying to argue semantics... Colin has seen the product because he literally said so but also has discussed it at sporadically on previous shows. Even Phil mentions it at the end that he used to hate on wrestling until they actually invited him to see a show where he learned about the product changing his opinion. (He still hates on it but instead he just made fun of how little money they make for what they do) Your statement is just completely untrue. You then respond by saying “well he’s not a diehard” the gap between “never seeing the product” and being a “diehard” is vast. A Grand Canyon of generalizations if you will.
CM Punk, getting paid to trash talk WWE, living his dream.
Nice to see an interview with good questions
I ll listen Phil talking for Hours!You are "The Man" Phil!
Get a life. Phil Brooks is 0-2 in real fights and was an o.k wrestler. Doesnt belong with names like hogan or the rock
I want to hear him it Hardy talk more in depth about their feud cause it was so personal. One of my all time favorites
I never knew I wanted this collaboration but I’m so glad I have it
Good interview! Happy to see CM Punk back in some capacity!
I cringed when he Cowherd called him CM lol. Anyway love Punks honesty, good interview 👍🏻
We should crowdfund and buy CM Punk his own wrestling promotion. He has the vision sorely missing in senior positions at WWE.
CM Punk is the GOAT. Changed the game. Vince was too stubborn to roll with it. Punk called out Colin at the end too lmao
CM Punk IS wrestling.
Wow I’m shocked to see cm punk on here lol
You work there my guy
Macklin Crone let me talk to skip maybe he will be on undisputed with us? 👀
Shannon Sharp they had Rollins and triple h before
Idc if its in conjunction with WWE I'm just happy to see him in pro wrestling media
cm punk vs Shane McMahon would be fun
Finally some real sports
AGREE with CM PUNK totally he is the Goat 🐐
Could listen to Punk all day!
5:28 LMFAO!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Came here from watching that survivor series match. The vibes were so nice
This is an amazing interview, with CMPUNK AND THE HERD , wow !
He can say what we want now without having his microphone turned off
The most ambitious crossover since the Jetsons meet the Flintstones
This is a good spot for him and FOX is hella smart. Him talking about WWE has to put fear in creative at least. They're going to be forced to step up their game for sure and I agree with his opinion here. Stop over scripting everyone, let them do them ffs. Back in the day they were free to do their thing, all creative did was give them some basic bullet points to hit but not word for word like some movie script.
CM PUNK FOR 2020
Need to see CM Punk back IN WWE!
CM Punk for Deadpool 3
6:37 Colin looked intrigued af!
Vance Lawrence 😂
I wish this interview was longer
8:00 Damn how time flies. I love that match!
I’ll never forget that survivor series. It was one of the last of great moments . DX were coming to an end. Hardy Boyz we’re heading down into their singles Careers for the final times. CM Punk was the new kid on the block from ECW. They literally just done their finishers on Team Rated RKO etc and the crowd went nuts! ESPECIALLY for CM Punk. It was a great moment and I will never forget that moment all of Team DX in the ring, each wrestler had their crowd behind them cheering them on. It just went crazy!
CM Punk: I never done drugs in my life lol😂😂😂
Wow, Colin Cowherd spent a radio segment on ESPN trashing the fact that newspaper obituaries listed Eddie Guerrero when he passed. CM Punk is a noted friend of Eddie.
A humbled CM Punk.
Hes a good dude in real life. People forget that the WWE has characters.
