Revisiting this in 2023 just to say Punk was right and I miss him.
Edit: a big thanks to Tony Khan, the Young Bucks and Jungle Jack for giving us one of the biggest pops I can remember at Survivor Series
Yeah I miss his botches.
@@Jackholiday1025 also miss him drawibg huge numbers. Unlike the Elite who drive people away. The best ratings in recent times was by a dead man ala Jay Briscoe
I know Tony Khan misses those ratings 😂🤣
@@thebestintheworld1559 for sure man. 824k average last week. Page and Jericho are driving people off left right and centre. MJF and Mark Briscoe are kinda holding on
@@Jackholiday1025 cope
This is aging like fine wine. Jim and Punk were spot on.
Welcome home, CM Punk
I just like to listen to this once a month, It's funnier than some of the stand ups nowadays. Jim is a treasure
It's even better now after that Wembly footage got released!
@@batmang9014 Punk straight up had to let JB know....fck around and find out lol
@@lpnkorn15 Lol Cornette said "Ricidulousity" like it's a real word. Jungle Boy is going to be wrestling while Punk continues to stays on the sidelines
The older I get, the more I understand Jim Cornette and CM Punk.
Welcome to adulthood.
Yeah if that happened I’d probably have agreed with the elite more had all this shit happened in the late noughties luckily I have more of a wrestling mind now so i saw through the BS
I remember Jim Cornette shredding Punk years ago now he seems to be firmly in his corner.
@@kjdee140agreed 1000%
@@Abb0ablethat's just cuz they had a rule against Iwa guys
"I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm tired and I work with f>kin children" Absolutely classic. I hope I still come across this quote 20 years from now.
There's a certain age group that can relate to that comment.
Im 39 I work in it .. outside of me average age of team is like 22
I get it
In 20yrs I’m 52 😂🎉
I be smoking weed n shooting my ak-47 still ❤
As a teacher I know exactly how that feels…
Great quote
Dave Meltzer ran out of the scrum right behind the security guard so he could immediately give the “melee” five stars since the Bucks were involved.
Lmao gold!
10 stars! They brawled behind a cut out of the njpw logo lmao
🤣🤣🤣
The guard helped put them over
XD
History will be kind to CM Punk. He was right. He could've handled things better, but he spoke nothing but facts that day.
He knew he never needed AEW, AEW needed him and current noise around his return, kinda prove the point.
@@marathiboi96 "I don't need to work with you, you need to work with me"
Scapegoat. 😂
He worked with friggin’ children. Good thing he got up out of there!
Nothing but facts? He lied about the door getting kicked in by the bucks, which Cultaholic broke years ago. Did he ever mention that? Has he ever once listed a source for his unsubstantiated rumors? No one cared about punk's relationship to Cabana except for Punk. And punk mocking Colt for being a caretaker for his mother was disgusting.
JR explained why CM Punk didn’t get any help from the WWE office, because he wasn’t a fake kiss ass. He was an honest guy who didn’t brown nose anybody and that rubbed certain people up the wrong way.
“Wrestling’s real, people are fake.”
MJF said the same thing in an interview
That's what happens in any work environment unfortunately not just in wrestling.
"Wrestling's fake, people take it too seriously" is what you actually mean lol.
Pretty much this. Punk whether you like him or not is a blunt honest guy who will tell you how he feels.
MR. ANDERSON!
Aging like the finest wine after the interview with Helwani.
& after Tony released the footage, proving everything Punk said to be true 😂😂
literally 😭💀💀
'I'm hurt, I'm old, Im tired and I'm working with children' ~ CM Punk 2022
that needs to be on a shirt.

Aewww in a nutshell 2022
That sounds like all us over 40 guys who work at businesses with a bunch of 20 something year olds..,
@@terryalan4590 God. Ain’t that the truth!!
Thank you Cucamonga Kids, Twinkle Toes McFingerbang, Megan, Luke Perry's son, Hangnail Page, and the Money Mark for CM Punk's triumphant return to WWE at 2023 Survivor Series.
You forgot Daniel Bryan too hahaha
@@petebagwell6666pirate danielson
@@petebagwell6666 Bryan's just a Patsy. Punk wanted to get out of there
@@marathiboi96glad I'm not the only one who thinks Bryan and Punk worked together to get Punk back to WWE and Bryan in a higher spot in AEW. If Bryan immediately goes back to WWE when AEW closes and is welcomed with open arms, then we know it was an inside job.
@@andrew8168 bryan is literally gonna go part time post may 2024. He's gonna be more creative than wrestling and AEW probably won't go out of business for 3-4 years, as TK would rather put his own money up when losses happen. So, bryan is totally collecting his retirement fund.
Punk is usually proven right, and usually gets the last laugh. It's a recurring theme in his career, and it's happened again.
Turns out Punk was right all along. And to be fair; managing a Target is most likely much more difficult than managing the mess that is AEW.
cornette was right about those idiots
Of course he was right. But Punk shouldn’t come back.
AEW is now the mess and cesspool he said it was all along... crazy how the guy people continuously try to vilify is right on all fronts about the companies he openly criticizes.
@@hmdwgf "shouldn't" as in, YOU don't want him there. And those 5 likes you got, obviously we have the AEW shills coming out in droves trying miserably to gatekeep their all-friends promotion.
MJF: “I’ll be the top story after that return tonight!”
CM Punk: “Hold my non-alcoholic beer.”
See, here's the thing: MJF is smart enough of a businessman, like Punk, to go with it. He'll take what Punk said and he'll run with it, try and top it on Dynamite so that they can sell tickets and pay-per-views. The EVPs will go sit in Tony's office and try and console each other over their hurt feelings.
Hold my muffin.

@javier v wrong burrito boy. One of the young bucks got socked in the face and the other one got a chair to the face by ace steel and was koed. Stopped making shit up
“I’m not talking about punk being mad at colt cabana for 10 years, He knew him for 20 years, that’s enough to be mad at him for 40 years.” Lol I’m dying hahaha
😂😂😂
The math adds up
I literal read this and then I heard him say it. Trippy [>
That had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
As Punk said in a promo: "Tell me when I'm lying!".
Partial credit for accuracy
'BF sucks '
Even if Punk isn’t Corny’s long lost son, he’s sitting there thinking “that’s my boy!” 😆
“Good comeback, Meltzer”. Lol.
Corney never disappoints.
Alvarez stood up for himself, at least
@@Jackaljkljkl What did Alvarez respond with?
@@jackburt5073 took both sides basically
@@jackburt5073 it wasn't so much standing up for himself as it was trying to distance himself from what they all did.
I wish Meltzer tossed up one of his massive word salads that said nothing.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for.
I was thinking the same thing lol Leta go Corny! Also the art is just 🤌
Yes Yes!
Another prediction made on these shows come true. Man if this meant the end of The Elite AEW might actually stand a chance.
😂
Yaaaaaaas! Same. I’ve been waiting and waiting.
Cornys rant of Punk getting fired is going to be pure audio gold😂😂
Im shocked at how many people have turned on CM Punk so quickly blaming him for everything that happened in the moments after his comments.
Nearly everyone, then you hear Dax say "Punk was a great guy backstage, he bought the women all vouchers for Starbucks, he would give advice, he helped me and he is my friend" then everyone start targeted Dax. Fuck them for that.
@@LewisCreamer AEW marks are just seething coping, let em cry
I love how Jim and Brian knew this part of the podcast had to be put out as fast as possible after it was recorded.
Too bad it was too fast to cover the aftermath in the hallway with the Cucamonga kids...
Ah well, we'll hear about it later.

@@henrygvidonas9573 let’s just be happy we got one to hold us over before the other. they obviously recorded and edited this way quicker than usual to be able to deliver it to us, when the podcast usually takes 2-3 days after a show happens to be edited and released. really sorry this video that was rushed out quicker than usual because they knew people wanted to hear it wasn’t good enough for you.
Ť
I was counting the seconds until I could listen to Jim's take on this.
Probably the most anticipated Jim Cornette clip ever.
@@geeloco1600 always reaching for a bud #420
For sure.
For me, more anticipated than the squash match reaction for sure. And that reaction was kind of a let down because he didn't tear it apart.
Lol. Just like what happened to MJF promo that we couldn't wait for him to talk about
I couldn't wait to hear what he thought about this even before the fight
The best part of the whole thing was the fact that it was Punk berating the "higher ups" right in front of Tony Khan and TK just had to sit there and eat that shit sandwich in front of everyone. 10 outta 10. Would watch again!
Feel like some of that was directed to TK. Almost as to remind him hey TK you hired these fucks.
He was sitting there like
“We’ll fuck my life then”
Like when you’re passenger and the drive is having a conversation on the phone 📞 angry….driving faster as he get more pissed off 😡🙆🏻♂️
Tony Khan literally didn't have to sit there and take it. That is the entire problem. He takes it. He isn't running a wrestling company. He is a man child, trying to play wrestler manager with his daddy's money.
On my fifth listen now. Need Punk to come back and take down this new wave B.S. wrestling in the name of Race, Funk, Bockwinkle, Hart, Henig, etc. Managed by Jim, trioing with FTR and take it all back.
Damned fever dreams...
I mean he didn't have to sit there and take it. He's the owner, if he was any kind of actual real man with balls he would have interrupted Punk ajd steered things back on course but he's not and he doesn't.
The podcast after Punk’s WWE return tonight will be legendary.
I hate dat I'm still waiting for it😂😂
😂😂😂 doing numbers
Didn't expect this so soon. Thanks Jim and Brian for giving the people what they want.
classic breaking news moment
To quote the great Excalibur... You got to give the people what they want lol
Same here, so glad I didn't had to wait for the train to pass.
@@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity Good ol’Sock face at least knows that much I’ll say
@@o.w.omarquito2047 lol
The moment we've all been waiting and the wait didn't even last 24 hours. Jimmy and Brian are really giving us a treat.
They knew that people needed this in our veins stat and didn't make us wait
Cornett had been working so hard!!
I thought we would have to wait. What a pleasant surprise on this fine Labor Day.
Well if you're a wrestling mark.
Read my mind!
Came back after finding out they forced him to wrestle without being medically cleared WOW CM Punk was right all along 😅
The Dark Side of the Ring episode of the AEW All Out press conference is going to be FANTASTIC.
The Pink Side of the Ring.
Blurs and silhouettes lol
in 2028 we will be watching 'The Rise and Fall of AEW'
Damn shit like this is why I wish DSOTR wasn't canceled, unless I'm uninformed and its back now
@@ashleyburns6752 Generous giving them six more years.
Let's also give credit to the artist FreeMan. As an artist myself, I know the work that goes into creating something, so respect for getting the artwork done so quickly too.
There's like 26 videos in the last 3 days all with unique artwork... holy shit
And for being one of the best bits of corny art in the last 12 months
Look how quick this guy made it about him
this artwork is amazing
A talented guy that artists. Works fast!
Hangman presents himself as a outlaw sheriff, but Punk showed the world that Hangman is more like a magic mike cosplaying as a cowboy
The coward that says the thing to his face, unlike punk?
@@Kyush4 do you really consider blowing up the business and irresponsibly saying those things on Live TV programme as "saying to the face"? Punk wouldn't have the opportunity to deal with this, because it was a TV Show. It's major cowardly from Page imo
BTW Punk has already knocked off both Hardlys at backstage, so he has already proved they're all cowards and got what they deserved
@@valeriye5018 page was irresponsible and then punk turned it into eleven
despite jim saying that wrestlers should agree on what they should say on promos, like he said about the kingston-sammy fiasco
@@Kyush4 I mean wouldn't u be pissed off if someone said shit about u like that? Punk had every right to go off on him because page doesn't care about helping AEW into something bigger than it is. It's the whole WCW/TNA thing all over again only its guys that are full of their own egos making things worse and burying anyone better than them. Like FTR, MJF, Warload and potential talents, like Hobbs, Russev, Max Caster, Darby and other talents.
@@CactusInsane i would be pissed, but i wouldnt lower myself to page's standards
why do you think page dont want aew to get bigger? page and many others made aew what it is today, who are they burying?
cornette defended sammy for going on business alone against eddie, why isnt he doing the same with page?
Punk interrupting Tony multiple times show how much authority Tony has and the amount of respect they have for him
If that moron was capable of doing his job, Punk wouldn't have any reason to be up there talking over him.
It blows my mind that somebody wasn't fired or suspended back in May.
i could be the janitor of the venue theyre in and i'd walk over khan's shoes on purpose
This. Everything about TK’a presence during that sit down shows he has no control or respect from within his own company. He is a fan boy signing checks.
He looked like a scared lil boi, his eyes were bugging out
@@Pushateetee83 Exactly. He’s Dixie Carter with a smaller penis.
Here after Brawl In, lmao! Still the best thing to come out of AEW and Punk’s best work. Jim and Brian predicted everything, and TK has no clue what he’s doing.
Checks out.
The quality of this artwork in the small amount of time between recording and posting is really impressive to me.
This has to be the guy that did the art for CM Punk vs Hobbs and that is still the best art of any Cornette episode to date.
Swear, hands down the best RUclips Channel/Podcast around
Only Jim could manage to become the biggest star in a wrestling promotion without ever joining it
Jim Cornette creating a camp Cornette with cm punk and ftr would be great.
Jim is and always will be one of the greatest mouthpieces in the business. I would love if he appears and manages a faction.
😂
It's almost as if cm punk is listening to Jim cornette
@@ii9714 he definitely is. His response to Page not wanting to take advice was pretty much word for word what Cornette said about him too.
Punk has achieved legendary status after this. I mean seriously, dude said what so many have wanted to say for a good while now. It’s unfortunate shit got out of hand afterwards, really don’t want to see Punk gone from wrestling again so soon.
This is in case people wanted Cornette to be a manager in AEW, Punk is living it right now and we're seeing what would happen
CM Punk won me over all over again. Wish there were more like him in the business in 2022.
Absolutely. Didn't like his last year babyface run because I knew how much better he can be. And he did it here !
7 months later this continues to get better. I’m still salivating for a CM Punk return like a starving lion.
More like salivating like Tony khan when he sees a crack pipe.
Well.
@@chirho8657 you prolly smokin it your self💀
Hope your Saturday is free tomorrow!
It’s happened!!
I would kill to hear cm punk to tell his side of the story on this podcast
Easily the most enjoyment came from TK’s bowel pain facial expression each time Punk bashed someone.🤣
Tony going for that “Things WCW did wrong” speed run.
This will be made into a Cultaholic list within six months.
Who knew Paul Heyman diagnosed the cancer that killed WCW & AEW in 1995?

@@mikhailabdurrachman2443 Inmates running the asylum
Punk is Old School. i go to work clock in do my Job make some money and Go Home and that's how it should be. these Kliqs mentality is in all businesses I have delt with that in all the jobs i been in and its annoying. my last job i use to work with. there was a guy there he was a server there for like 15yrs. entitled thinks he is better then everyone and even as a server tried to bark orders to everyone. and he finally got promoted to Manager i feel just because they were short managers. and on one day we were sort staff because we were always short staff, and this was pre pandemic. 2018-2019, i think. and we had 1 cook me and 3 servers and 1 bartender that's it. we got hit with like a 500 people rush. snf he went and hide in the manager's office while we were getting our butts kicked. and i was running around doing 34 different positions at the same time. and from the office he wants to bark orders form the walkie talkie. so, after that was all over like around 4:30PM i was heated and he tried to yell at me for not following his orders and i went off at him and basically told him to go F**k Himself Because really leaders don't hide in the office i quit in 2021. i understand what Punk is going through alitte. you go to work try your hardest to help the other people elevate the business make money and clock out. and you got little pricks that all they want to do is make everything like middle school high school
You know the wrestling company is poorly managed if all the cool fights with meaningful stakes happens off-camera.

I watched it live. The look on TK's face was hilarious. His eyes was wide like he just took a hit. His mouth didn't close for a while. He was stunned, shocked, flabbergasted, and shook. He was on a ride he didn't know he was gonna be on and just stayed on the ride because the safety gate was locked in the seat and he couldn't move.
Man it was priceless. Its like that high he's on was shot down from the sky by a pipebomb lol
@@royalty843 2nd best pipebomb of Punk's career. Idk. Could be first. This was raw!!
He tried to talk and punk just shut him up lol like a BOSS
@@iamlegend4064 idk he can never top his 2011 promo. Because oddly enough it all came true when you think about it. You might be right however. Punk spoke a different tone in this scrum not like he has in any other interview. The air is different in AEW now.
My favorite moments were where it looked like he was trying to hide but couldnt figure how to do it without drawing attention.
CM Punk was right all along.
RIP AEW
Had to come back after his return to WWE just for laughs.😂
Mr Cornette predicted this about a year ago. He said sooner or later Omega, the Bucks, or TK would screw up things backstage and damn it he was right!
If AEW makes to 5years I highly doubt Kenny and the Spot Bucks will still be the company. Tony is a business man. Punk is his golden goose. Tony my had sided with the Elite against Cody’s vision of AEW, but he won’t side with them against Punk this time around.
@@rj5822 what was the difference between Cody's vision and the Bucks????
@@heltongomez8865 Cody’s vision probably wouldn’t have led to this.
This is a work, you sIobbering mark 🎯 🤤
As much as I don’t want to defend the Elite, I have to admit, if every single locker room CM Punk goes into is full of unprofessional assholes, maybe he’s the unprofessional asshole.
He’s become this generation’s Hogan.
The dramatic spectacle is great, but we're not gonna talk about how incredible this artwork is? Lmao Superb work; Kudos to the artist on this one.

@@billywashere6965 And that group has proven there are only so many people that will watch them. Sure, they draw consistent ratings, but the problem is they never grow. Networks don’t want a stagnant audience. They want growth. Punk gets them over the top. The Ballet Club doesn’t.
I wasn’t expecting this until the end of the week but damn if this didn’t just make the rest of my night at work that much better
Facts they knew they had to capitalize off this The Media scrum literally overshadowed the whole PPV and MJF return 🤣🤣🤣
they know this shit is fire, got to get those clicks
U lazy fuck what do u do for work? I take it they don't pay u to listen to the experience
It wasn't anything special, just laughed at how much sense Punk was saying whilst recognising how pathetic the bucks etc are.
AEW is a Circus right now ……. 💀
Drew McIntyre's recent tweet brought me back to this gem 😂😂😭
Same
Listening again with 2024 after watching the rumble with a husband/wife AEW defender that couldn't keep their hatred for Punk quiet.
It's wild that people just can't see what's right in front of them.
Normally, I listen to Corny as I’m doing other stuff around the house. Laundry, cutting the grass, etc. But this one….no no no….I’m pouring myself a double bourbon and sitting down. This is one to savor.
😂
White Russian for me. (Don't judge me 😂)
"I'm old, I'm tired, and I work with fu'king Children."
LMAO, Punk absolutely was on Fire here.
As an isolated clip it’s a perfect meme response
Even though he acted like one himself
Re-watching as Punk currently is killing it in WWE
After the Helwani nuke: Punk went 'Scorched Earth', but in the nicest possible way (for him, anyway)
I don't like CM Punk but he was completely spot on about The Cucs.
MJF was the first one who brought up the is issue but wasn't as forward.
His promo was directed at the Cucs, "I make you feel, and I don't have to do all kinds of bullshit to do it."
I'm guessing Cody was already seeing all this b.s. and decided to jump ship.
All this corporate politics is dumb and bullshit, not only in wrestling industry but in every sector which is why people walk out when they feel they have had enough.
Its useless fighting something to change, when you know its never going to. Eventually you have to throw in the towel, and let them dig their own graves
Cody must be thinking he is the smartest man alive for leaving AEW.
@@PLUX4 Cody is a good business leader as he negotiated a good WWE deal while coming out of AEW with a remarkable pop in Wrestlemania 2022 for good ratings.
@@agentnine3973 Yes that's why WCW died out due to similar situations AEW is going through now and it's mainly bad bookings and ego issues.
Now I know why Cody really left. Totally makes sense!
Cody left because he wants the WWE title before he retires, and he saw an opportunity for money and a prime spot in a company desperate for stars. Elite and Punk drama or no Elite and Punk drama. Cody is incredibly ambitious. Make no mistake about that.
cody wanted more power and khan said no.
@@Kratosx23 elite is the reason cody left
Cody got booed out of aew lmao it had nothing to do with anything else
@@johanliebert6000 yes it has do with elite, u can just deny it
This is still the best thing to ever come out of AEW.
Be honest guys, from 24:41 to 24:46 and 26:16 to 26:25 was worth the wait. Hearing Jim piss himself laughin' at those bits was exactly my reaction too, wheeze laughin' my arse off.
I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm f'n tired and I work with f'n children! LOL

For some reason, I popped on the scrum, and watched Punk torching everyone drinking seltzer water and eating pastry. Incredible.
Because it was beautiful to hear
Kinda disrespectful and unprofessional to Tony Khan though

@@Steve-nq8jc And now I understand why you guys call WWE fans e-drones. They take every bad situation that happens in AEW as an excuse to 💩 on it when WWE is doing no better by being stuck in the 80s.

@@homeoftek5844 Unlike in AEW where even the wrestlers can't keep WWE out of their mouth for some cheap heat, right?
That dude you tore into didn't even mention WWE and what he said wasn't wrong but you little (pun intended) AEW fanboys just can't take ANY criticism...hey kind of like Punk!!! You're all super thin skinned!!
@@BabysitterSky Wrestling in general is at an all time low. I'm not heavily invested in either company. But from what I've seen overall, AEW is a bit more interesting. I'd rather see quirky characters (which is part of what made the attitude era special) and a bunch of pipebombs than overwritten, robotic cheesy promos and no personality
Listening to this at the end of 2023 now the fullness of the journey has been unfolded, and my god, the Punk Media Scrum might just be the single greatest shoot in the history of professional wrestling, not just in its accuracy but also is casual savagery.
Good lord I love that man!
Little something else a LOT of people overlook when it comes to Punk. His "straight edge" gimmick is his LIFE. He's honest in everything he does, which is why a lot of people get annoyed with him, and also why Heyman loved him so much. You always knew where you stood with him. Heyman said if you didnt want to know the truth, don't ask CM Punk because he'll tell you, and in no uncertain terms. This was just the latest example. So Punk shines the light of truth on things, the "Elite" does a lot of backstage whispers. How do you combat lies - you just confront them. Dont back off from them, stand your ground. Punk does that, has done that, and doesn't care if people dont like it or not. HE knows his own actions, and what the facts are, as for what others say/do that's their problem.
people often confuse being an untactful asshole with being "honest". if you really think the guy who is the #1 at a promotion should go on TV, bury the entire company, and make the owner look like a tool, then I'm not sure what to say to you. there is a right and wrong way to do things
just because someone wrongs you doesn't give you carte blanche to act however you want. even assuming punk was 100% correct with what he said (which none of us actually know), the way he handled the situation was completely wrong. lets not even get into the assault that occurred afterwards
and if anyone ever needed to smoke a fucking joint it's probably CM Punk. he comes across as an extremely immature person who sees everything in black and white and is incapable of recognizing his own mistakes
This deserves more likes, top comment man 🤝🏾🫂
Punk is the fuckin man. He doesn't bullshit or pussyfoot around anything. People might not like him, but with Punk you don't get any bullshit. I respect the hell out of that.
I'm glad I saw this comment.
Its extra annoying when extreme fans of the Elite call Punk a jerk when in reality it seems like its the other way around. A buncha bullshit really.
The people asked and Jim and Brian delivered. Appreciate you guys💪
It’s good to see Jim has recovered from being hospitalized for laughing too hard.
Being so spot on correct can be hazardous to your health I hear
His laugh during this is making me laugh
😂
Hahaha!!
That Terry Funk analogy was spot on
R.I P. The Funkster
17:07 - “I don’t know if they’re tall enough to buy a ticket to see the UFC!”
DEAD 😭💀😂
If this doesn’t prove that Punk is a Cornette guy then the Elite marks can keep being in denial I also like how he called out Meltzer and Alvarez to their faces and they were at a loss for words the voice of the voiceless finally put those two in their places
Alvarez had a quality response when he was directly called out. I don’t think Punk was satisfied but when you’re in the zone like he was, there was nothing that would’ve at that point
Punks a tool. Meltzer surprisingly was the only reporter there that kept the questions kayfabe she.
@@flyervoracek5954 yo to Brian's credit he didn't really back down to Punk. On observer today he arguably doubled down his stance so props to him imo.
it proves you and the rest of his fangirls will still keep on deep throating him balls deep and believe anything even when it is so obviously staged and worked. HAHAHA!
There's actually a clip of Punk saying one of Jim's catch-phrases. The "Comoroto, Solo, Ogogo" one. He's also friends with FTR, who themselves are Cornette guys.
Even after 3 years the idea of The Young Bucks being EVP'S of anything is still hilarious! 🤣
Lol they wouldn’t even be able to manage a local rec center
Whats an EVP?
@@rejuvinatez347 executive vice President
@@rejuvinatez347 bruh I was wondering what it meant lol. Evp sounds like an attack move from a video game I once knew lol
Punk saying the Bucks and Omega werent capable of managing a Target made me laugh b/c it's true lol
They pissed him off so bad they made him forgive WWE. So thank you AEW😂
At first, I was mad at CM Punk for going out like this. However, as time passes and more news about AEW comes out, the more I understand CM Punk and get why he was so frustrated like this. Time has always proven Punk right in the end eventually whether he says something the right way or not.
Great time to re-visit this. Amazing how badly Tony let this thing spiral out of control.
I loved when Punk stopped Tony from clarifying his previous comments (or lack thereof) and said it's not his place to clarify this.
Right. Sat there like a bitch.
Tony is not a leader. He wants to be friends with everyone.
@@DewlayLomo Well, no, I think it's more like AEW is kinda like a train set for Tony and he likes to play with it. Sometimes, he likes to crash his trains just to see what happens, and the problem is that he doesn't seem to understand that he's playing with people's careers. Tony would be wise to step back from the Gorilla Position and let an experienced veteran, like William Regal or someone like him, run creative. He could still direct the narratives and decide title changes, but he really should be more hands-off.
@@christopheraaron8299 Little dweeb, wake up to the real world. Instead of making dumb excuses, Tony is a goof and is no leader.
I kinda feel like he was sticking up for Tony, like "no, this is on them"
Cody left because of the Bucks, I thought it was because he booked himself to a corner but Punk actually exposed everyone…. Punk was going to be the scapegoat for all the BS going on but the Bucks toxicity got the best of them. Punk is an asshole yes, but he is an asshole the company needs. He brings a different energy that not even Mox has. Hangman should’ve never opened his mouth. Society got so soft and I feel like everyone is just like the Elite and Hangman
Punk has done nothing but bury everybody he's worked with since arriving, and Punk cares for no one but himself. The biggest problem with Cody was the Codyverse. Everything was fine before CM Punk arrived.
I am beginning to think that it's not even Kenny Omega that's playing politics. I think it's the Young Bucks & "Hangman" Adam Page.
@@billywashere6965 stop everything was not fine, Cody knew something was wrong and left. CM punk thought he was walking into a company that worked and cared for the wrestlers. Punk is pissed and people are starting to understand that the Bucks and Omega are passive aggressive jerks, lead by a kid raised by a billionaire.
He might be an asshole, but he doesn’t try to hide that fact. With Punk, what you see is what you get. With the Ballet Club, it’s all lollipops and rainbows until you “don’t want to be their friend”, and then the behind the scenes machinations start. Punk will tell you he’s going to punch you in the face, and then do it. The Ballet Club will “be your friend” until they stab you in the back.
Im not gonna say how i know this. Believe me or not i know for a fact Cody left because Brandi was gonna be taken off tv and lose her Brand officer title
It’s honestly the Elite and Dave Meltzer vs CM Punk, Ace Steel and Jim Cornette 😂
I dont know but i keep coming back for this
I come back to both this and the video of the tirade by Punk, mostly for the entertainment that both provide 😂😂😂😂
I'm back again❤❤❤
5 seconds in and Jim says what we’re all thinking. “Everybody can’t wait to hear our take on this”
Active talent cannot be execs. It is a conflict of interest. The EVPs mishandled this entire incident.
AEW got CM Punk to come out of retirement and they managed to fuck it up and piss him off within a year
Decided to come back to this video since tonight is punks big return to television. Just to relive this epic saga that has occurred
Imagine Scott Steiner doing on of those shoot AEW press conferences. I wish we could see that 😂😂😂😂. Nobody would dare run up on him like the Bucks and Kenny did to Punk.
Because Scott is a legit shooter; Punk lost twice in UFC, to one person who was a photographer who wasn't even a martial artist.
Scott would have beat the snot out of hangman after his shoot. Probably on the spot in the ring haha
Scott would have been in jail. Legitimately. It’d be funny as fuck until that point, but unless they gave him a Valium the size of a dinner plate first, they’d be dragging him out in cuffs and leg irons.
@@billywashere6965 wtf are you on? Punk is a legit fighter too because he had to train to be in the octagon regardless of his UFC record. I’ve seen you comment a couple of times here and you sound like a fucking mark…
I'm not sure we would be able to understand Scott Steiner if he did that at a press conference.
“I don’t know if the Hardly Boys are even tall enough to buy a ticket to the UFC.” 😆 Jim Cornette is the King
Punk should’ve gotten beat round 1 in his second fight but his opponent went into business for himself. There is a reason UFC didn’t renew Punk
@@redkritter1225 still trained for it late in life, beaten up body, maybe if he worked his way up to the UFC and gained experience first, but at his age it was now or never.
Love what Punk said, but he cant fight for shit. Listen to Rogan or MMA fighters take on how he has no athletic talent & would get ass kicked by anyone who has trained for 6mths. He was embarrassment in octogon
@@27MOJOKING Still gave it a shot..
@@andrewclayterman6230 He has balls & was paid millions. but he should have never been in UFC. Complete joke calling him UFC fighter. Your neighborhood toughman fighter would kick his ass in real life
Thanks to the elite we just had the biggest comeback of the decade. It took Punk meeting those pricks for him to realize Triple H is not as bad compared to the indy clowns.
I think triple h was a bit of a dick back then when he wanted to be but he's deffo changed now he's got the responsibility and the desire to make the show better than ever
@@petebagwell6666This. You are so right. Hunter used to be an absolute piece of shit. But he's not that guy anymore. And I think Punk sees that.
@@petebagwell6666 hunter almost died two years back, He is never gonna wrestle or take a bump, if he does that his heart is at risk of exploding. His time in hospital made him more mature and not wrestling made him more understanding about money. He's lost his ego as he doesn't have to worry about his spot.
Vince McMahon is gone. That makes things even better.
Re-watching this for the good laughs
lmaooo
Mad respect to Punk for saying his truth. Also this episode of the Drive thru was gold
I’m tired. I’m hurt. And I work with fucking children. Best line ever.
Looking back at it. Cody Rhodes looks like a genius for stepping away when he did
Couldn’t agree more
@@hazdrubal1568 💯💯💯
It's called a work lol. Would aew leave the media scrum on youtube without editing out the punk part if they weren't happy with what was said? Admit you've been worked by punk and Tony 😂
@@bb-ballistics1706 you have no clue man
@@GraveMemories I have plenty clue. The whole time I was saying the mjf thing was a work the second the promo pipe bomb started but no one would listen. A company shows you what they want to show you.
Almost mid-2023 and CM Punk is still right, it's like they're proving him right on purpose.
cm punk is a legend cant wait to see him in aew again
Kudos to the artist for getting this thumbnail done so fast.
CM Wolverine and Professor Cornette. One of the greatest thumbnails of all time.
Ace Steele implying that Cornette had it 100% correct about what happened throughout. lol.
