I would rather have CM Punk debut in NJPW and become IWGP World Heavyweight Champion in his first three months at possibility a Dominion or Wrestle Kingdom event. Playing The Saint being his entrance theme please. Have him develop a new type of CM Punk. When things get too rough, he brings out the edge. His eyes and face become painted in blood drippings, his lips covered in black lipstick and his ring gear having marks of tearing. CM Punk, The Best In The World is dead. Out comes The EdgeMaker CM Punk.
This one is gonna be so random and you might have been a BIT too young to remember him&appreciate what they were TRYING to do with this character, but HOW ADAM WOULD BOOK WAYLON MERCY (if Dan Spivey was still young and in shape/not hurt)--- bonus! You can do it either back THEN when he actually was wrestling in WWF, OR book him in today's era...
Ps--- I don't care how many middle fingers u throw up, u GOTTA do a part 2 with how his time in WWE ends; u can't deprive us of a CM PUNK NON STOP GLOATING PROMO that he OFFICIALLY ended HHH's career the next night on Raw!!!

@@skyblaze1134 well the alternative is having more 7 hour wrestlemanias (and no "just make it shorter" isn't a realistic option with WWE) so I'm very much in favor of them.
@@skyblaze1134 I like the gimmick but night 1 just feels like a preshow most of the time. They need to be better at spreading out the high profile matches throughout both nights.
It's really how Sami Zayn should be treated as a serious main eventer. Sadly we'll never see that, even though he's one of the few really entertaining wrestlers in WWE right now
@@johndotcue I was just going to say that. This gimmick is perfect for Sami to step into the main event with. Take him off TV but in a way that makes it look like he's unhappy with Management and comes across like a locker room cancer. Have him return at the Royal Rumble and win it.
"I haven't been bought and paid for by Tony Khan. I've been bought and paid for by SurfShark." That line cracked me up probably more than it should have.
Imagine Cult of Personally plays Michael Cole “We want to say thank you to “Living Color” for letting us use “Cult of Personalty” for our PPV Summerslam Theme Song”
@@HopeAuq but that was Hayman so that is sort of forgiven. This would be so many years later that WWE would do this to screw people and get people to leave faster then a Rainy Wrestlemania or Zombies
Same. No matter how much I like listening to the WrestleTalk/Parts Funknown lads talk, I _hate_ being advertised to, but Adam letting us know ahead of time that he'd be filling the whole thing with CM Punk jokes changed my mind.
@@mikekane7326 What he really is is the HBK of RUclips. Whether face or heel, whether you love him personally or hate him personally, he's just so charismatic and great at what he does. Btw, Pacitti is the Mick Foley of RUclips. He's suffered so much for our entertainment (Hell in a Smell, the Megabus tour, Pacittidust, the hot wings, etc.) that he's got loyal fans forever.
Adam, always love these. What has crossed my mind is, what would adam's full ppv cards would look like if we followed all "how Adam would book" storylines for the year ? ... A darn sight more entertaining cards than we're currently getting, no doubt.
@@fuckouttahere327 I know, but it's Adam, he's kinda done it all before. Limitless variations on a theme and all that jazz. Boardgame lists are my current flavour of the month. The man is just captivating to listen too. Was only throwing it out there.
Honestly, no matter which company he goes to, I would LOVE to see an Old Man Logan version of Punk. I think it would fit him and his history very well.
Simple in concept, yet masterful in execution. Well done again Adam 👏🏻 I personally feel like the issue with a Punk return is that a whole lot of people have described Punk as a guy who’s with you until you slight him, regardless of intent. Kevin Owens tells one of several stories about Punk overreacting and then changing his vibe
@@yaboyCombo hey! Hmm this was many years back, when Adam was still working for WhatCulture. That's where he started to do these fantasy booking videos or counterfactual historical booking, called "How WWE should book" or "How WWE should have booked". In these videos, as he introduces himself he'd say something along the lines of how (sort of paraphrasing here) he would book something cause "[he's] a smartarse" with a ding. After he fleshes out the context he'd start the official booking video by saying, "WWE, do it better." He did it again this time round instead of "Let me have a go." Lol. So it's a nice little callback to the days of the WhatCulture videos that got him his RUclips wrestling community fame in the first place.
@@kingkai_3954 Greetings from the double future. There were issues. Unfortunately I write this after the Royal Rumble 2024, which feels a lot like AEW Punk in some of the worst ways...
Adam is still a bigger return than cm punk could ever be. Every one your videos brings to joy to my life. Thank you for coming back. I have screwed up in the past, and our seconds acts can be our best. Thank you man for all the hours of entertainment and escape over the years.
I think everything was perfect until the match with Triple H. I might be in the minority but I don't really care for that match-up (despite their history). I think it might be more fitting if Roman was the one to put an end to Punk's wrestling career since he was the one that Vince kept telling Punk to put over strong during the last few months before his departure. I could see the Tribal Chief being offended that Punk delayed the process of him being head of the table, therefore not respecting him and his family.
@@cvg5184 I think the Triple H match makes the most sense to do first given the history and how you can weave it into a storyline then you can have Rollins vs Punk after maina then Punk and Roman at summerslam but I think at that next year’s wrestlemania Punk’s opponent should be his best (wwe) rival John Cena one last time
he mentioned big e being pushed, punk going to aew if he ever returned, and daniel bryan possibly leaving wwe 2 months BEFORE any of this started happening or had the potential to happen… adam, you’re a wizard.
@@lostalone9320 Na, punk dislikes Vince but he HATES hhh. Hhh ended the summer of punk and played a pivotal role in punk leaving the wwe. I dont think punk will want to work with or for hhh ever again.
Punk himself stated recently that if he did return the obvious match is Trips. I also don't think Punk hates Vince, they had a decent relationship when he was there.
@@lostalone9320 It's a complicated situation. From what I heard, Punk and Vince got on really well initially, but Punk and Hunter couldn't stand each other. And eventually Vince had to pick a side, and there was no way he was going to side with an employee over a family member and one of his long time biggest stars- and when Vince picks a side, he picks it _hard._ So basically Vince turned on Punk because of Hunter. Hunter is more professional than Vince and is especially talented at mending broken bridges, and _could_ potentially put his feelings aside for the sake of the business (he's also mellowed out a lot since he's aged and isn't so paranoid about protecting his spot at the top of the company), but Vince is vindictive (especially in his old age) and never forgives a slight, while Punk holds grudges and wouldn't forgive Hunter for derailing his previous run or Vince for the spiteful wedding day sacking. So no, there's basically no chance Punk will ever return to WWE.
I mean...that's a little hard to frame because the first televised wrestling performance he had when he came back shelved him for 8 months. WWE did a GREAT job keeping him relevant and interesting despite that and, while I think the feud with Drew started to get a little stale around Money in the Bank time (and didn't carry on from SummerSlam properly, even if the Strap Match was a good match - the Cell match seems to have gotten things back on track for a good blowoff), gave him something fantastic to work with it is still blanketed by a huge return that turned into a long spate of injury.
The Lack of love AJ gets on these things is quite sad tbh. Still Punk was a total prick with his comments about AJ back in 2020 and rightfully AJ has every reason to say "no" to ever working with Punk.
Absolutely wild looking back at this after he returned and spent 2 years at aew and now he’s back in the rumble in 2024, the last match he had in wwe 10 years ago. Wrestlings wild
I think it's too late honestly. Coming back in the 2016 WWE Draft, returning to WWE last year at the Royal Rumble and winning, debuting at All In 3 years ago or All Out 2 years ago (Pllana Productions idea not mine) all would have been perfect times for the Chick Magnet to return to pro wrestling. But for him to return now in 2021, it's like when Shawn Micheals returned in 2018. We wanted to see HBK wrestle but we didn't need to see him wrestle. We were fine without him and we're fine with CM Punk.
@@dylandylan5526 I'm not saying he wouldn't be great if he came back, I'm saying he shouldn't because too much time has passed where he'll only be wrestling about a years rather than atleast 3. Think about how many years Edge could have wrestled if he wasn't injured versus how many he has since returning (which is one but not on many PPVs).
@@dylandylan5526 but you're burning through dream matches by having him wrestle all of these dream opponents rather than giving more time to build up those matches.
@@dylandylan5526 how when WWE cram PPVs super close together. Payback last year was literally a week after SummerSlam. Plus Vince McMahon often starts building Feuds with literally only two weeks before the next PPV which means you only see those two superstars interact four times before said PPV on two episodes of Raw or SmackDown instead of up to eight in a months time.
And I am so flipping happy about that..I didn't want to let myself get too worked up on the hype and then it not happen ya know. So untill I saw it happen I had my doubts. But punk is back, that still feels weird to say out loud.
I remember seeing Seth Rollins on FCW's roster page and immediately thinking, this guy looks exactly like CM Punk. No way they can both succeed in WWE at the same time. (Granted, I was a teenager, but then again, Vince McMahon is a child.)
After being a fan of these since the beginning, I can confidently say this was my favorite one; you know it's the best when you can hear what Adam is about to say before he even opens his mouth. I wouldn't want anything less than this, great job buddy
Well, this is awkward. CM Punk is ACTUALLY back, and Adam is gone. Thanks for nothing, Carley. Seriously, I wanna thank her for nothing. Zero physical evidence, zero witnesses. All it took was "man did naughty" and he's gone because of his checkered past.
The nostalgia of Adam in his WhatCulture days, oh dear. I missed that ding sound effect and the thumbs-up, also the "do it better" line. What's missing is the "because I'm a smartass"
Now that Adam mentioned the triple threat main events of Wrestlemania, I looked it up and there's been four of them (five if you count Reigns/Lesnar/Rollins at WM31), and I didn't remember there being that many at all!
A suggestion. Please do "How Adam Would Book...The Return Of The Golden Age". In 2017, Goldust returned to his heel cinephile roots and WWE dropped the ball on turning him into a credible, potentially main event level threat. Would love to hear Adam's pitch for the story and how it could have gave one last push for Goldust before his depature to AEW. Thanks!
Adam, Bubby, we love ya, we all really do. Seriously I had to pause this thing repeatedly to reflect on just how perfect some of this booking is. When you brought in Heyman I literally stopped and clapped for a solid 10 seconds-It was 1 in the morning, woke my flatmates up, utter disaster-point is these videos are my jam my jelly and my juice. That said.... Please. For the love of all that is holy, give us more detail. My favourite parts of the old videos (and yes I get that these aren't those) were the little nuggets of infor where you'd describe spots or promo details you'd like to see in the story e.g. the promo between vince and Heyman in the invasion video or the end of the Trips/Rollins feud 'Seth Pins HHH; not with the pedigree, with the phoenix splash', to this day those details are what bring those stories to life for me. I have very few criticisms of your work (if any), but if the only critique you're getting is 'I want more!' how bad can it be, right? Dammit man, I'm a Rasslin' fan, I live for the minutia! Seriously though, great to have you back, you're smashing it, hopefully i'll see you at draughts once the world has sorted its life out!

WWE did a GREAT job keeping him relevant and interesting despite that and, while I think the feud with Drew started to get a little stale around Money in the Bank time (and didn't carry on from SummerSlam properly, even if the Strap Match was a good match - the Cell match seems to have gotten things back on track for a good blowoff), gave him something fantastic to work with it is still blanketed by a huge return that turned into a long spate of injury.
Kevin Owens vs CM Punk is my new dream match now.
Imagine the Promos...oh my god
Two of my favorites going head to head would kill.
"I change the WHAT culture."
He said it! HE SAID THE THING!!!!!!
Surprised you didn’t throw in a match against AJ Styles I would love to see that
The Lack of love AJ gets on these things is quite sad tbh. Still Punk was a total prick with his comments about AJ back in 2020 and rightfully AJ has every reason to say "no" to ever working with Punk.
@@mrmoviemanic1 what did he say about AJ again I forgot
Absolutely wild looking back at this after he returned and spent 2 years at aew and now he’s back in the rumble in 2024, the last match he had in wwe 10 years ago. Wrestlings wild
I think it's too late honestly. Coming back in the 2016 WWE Draft, returning to WWE last year at the Royal Rumble and winning, debuting at All In 3 years ago or All Out 2 years ago (Pllana Productions idea not mine) all would have been perfect times for the Chick Magnet to return to pro wrestling. But for him to return now in 2021, it's like when Shawn Micheals returned in 2018. We wanted to see HBK wrestle but we didn't need to see him wrestle. We were fine without him and we're fine with CM Punk.
@@dylandylan5526 that's different. Edge came back from a serious neck injury, CM Punk walked out of the company like Stone Cold Steve Austin in 2002.
@@dylandylan5526 I'm not saying he wouldn't be great if he came back, I'm saying he shouldn't because too much time has passed where he'll only be wrestling about a years rather than atleast 3. Think about how many years Edge could have wrestled if he wasn't injured versus how many he has since returning (which is one but not on many PPVs).
@@dylandylan5526 but you're burning through dream matches by having him wrestle all of these dream opponents rather than giving more time to build up those matches.
@@dylandylan5526 how when WWE cram PPVs super close together. Payback last year was literally a week after SummerSlam. Plus Vince McMahon often starts building Feuds with literally only two weeks before the next PPV which means you only see those two superstars interact four times before said PPV on two episodes of Raw or SmackDown instead of up to eight in a months time.
Coming back to this video after recent news feels like a prophecy
Punk vs Nakamura would be gold!
Hehe. Punk is in AEW 😂😂.
This guy is a genius.
Not yet...Genius yes, but untill I see punk on AEW tv/ppv, he's still gone.
@@jamesbaker6006 he is lol
And I am so flipping happy about that..I didn't want to let myself get too worked up on the hype and then it not happen ya know. So untill I saw it happen I had my doubts. But punk is back, that still feels weird to say out loud.
I remember seeing Seth Rollins on FCW's roster page and immediately thinking, this guy looks exactly like CM Punk. No way they can both succeed in WWE at the same time. (Granted, I was a teenager, but then again, Vince McMahon is a child.)
After being a fan of these since the beginning, I can confidently say this was my favorite one; you know it's the best when you can hear what Adam is about to say before he even opens his mouth. I wouldn't want anything less than this, great job buddy
The one we've all been waiting for the ultimate booker adam blampied to book I know this will be a good one
November 2023 update: oh how things have changed🤦🏻♂️
Well, this is awkward. CM Punk is ACTUALLY back, and Adam is gone. Thanks for nothing, Carley.
Seriously, I wanna thank her for nothing. Zero physical evidence, zero witnesses. All it took was "man did naughty" and he's gone because of his checkered past.
That's leftists!
What was he accused of?
The nostalgia of Adam in his WhatCulture days, oh dear. I missed that ding sound effect and the thumbs-up, also the "do it better" line. What's missing is the "because I'm a smartass"
Didn't think I would want Punk vs MJF before but now I want to see it. The promo battles would kill it alone
Punk vs Darby would be fun too, if anything to hear Punk call him out on being as crazy as Jeff Hardy but without the excuse of being an addict.
hello from the future, i hope you're happy dfghhf
I have never, ever, watched an ad read,,, until now. Props to you
Now that Adam mentioned the triple threat main events of Wrestlemania, I looked it up and there's been four of them (five if you count Reigns/Lesnar/Rollins at WM31), and I didn't remember there being that many at all!
A suggestion. Please do "How Adam Would Book...The Return Of The Golden Age". In 2017, Goldust returned to his heel cinephile roots and WWE dropped the ball on turning him into a credible, potentially main event level threat. Would love to hear Adam's pitch for the story and how it could have gave one last push for Goldust before his depature to AEW. Thanks!
the ding made me pop as if CM Punk himself had just returned
1:35 aged like a fine wine this has
That intro has me dying
Adam, Bubby, we love ya, we all really do. Seriously I had to pause this thing repeatedly to reflect on just how perfect some of this booking is. When you brought in Heyman I literally stopped and clapped for a solid 10 seconds-It was 1 in the morning, woke my flatmates up, utter disaster-point is these videos are my jam my jelly and my juice.
That said....
Please. For the love of all that is holy, give us more detail. My favourite parts of the old videos (and yes I get that these aren't those) were the little nuggets of infor where you'd describe spots or promo details you'd like to see in the story e.g. the promo between vince and Heyman in the invasion video or the end of the Trips/Rollins feud 'Seth Pins HHH; not with the pedigree, with the phoenix splash', to this day those details are what bring those stories to life for me. I have very few criticisms of your work (if any), but if the only critique you're getting is 'I want more!' how bad can it be, right?
Dammit man, I'm a Rasslin' fan, I live for the minutia!
Seriously though, great to have you back, you're smashing it, hopefully i'll see you at draughts once the world has sorted its life out!
Uhhhh so yeah, about that..... How about an AEW Punk now since that's a thing. :)
I'm banking on a dream match list instead. Probably one for Mr. Danielson as well.
damn, that WhatCulture reference at the beginning hit different. Especially now.
He's gonna have a lot of fan support, if he comes back."
*Insert AEW entrance of Punk HERE!*
When I watched it for the first time, I thought they were gonna rip the roof off the venue.
Then his theme song set in....😲😲😲
Crazy how similar this is to Wrestlemania 40’s booking
Whose here after rumors are going that cm punk could be on his way back to wwe after AEW bought out his contract
How would Adam book CM Punk's AEW debut?
Surprised Adam did include the "because I'm a smart ass" line in there
Write your own video then i guess?
@@TheEvilCheesecake you ok?
Ahhhhh, the nostalgia in this episode. Much love, Adam!
let’s hope WWE does it better.
I’d like to see him comeback as a commentator. He was great on the mic and did some commentary which was AMAZING
Reality has turned into a massive mishmash of everything proposed here thanks to Royal Rumble 2024.
Watching this in December 2021 when CM Punk did return to AEW and is feuding with MJF
I like the storyline you mapped out, Adam.
I don't buy Punk ever wanting to work with Triple H even if it's career vs career though.
They've both grown and i think Cm Punk would be the best to end HHH's career.
We had our Plumpy back for a few seconds there.... the feels
Congrats on predicting cm punk's aew debut and feud with mjf
9:00
“Did you forget WWE? You forgot didn’t you?”
Pretty much sums up the company the past few years
This aged well.
