"If you're more happy with the fact that some goof said you had a 5-star match, but the building is only a 1/4 full, then we're not in the same business". - CM Punk 2024
He said it himself, he's not here to make friends, he's here to make money.
Coming from a guy who made his name in IWA Mid-South hahaha
@@philiphaller1018yea iwa mid south was owned by the WWE if you didn’t know
@@JCSTYLEZ no it wasn’t haha. Perhaps you are thinking of Mid South Wrestling which WWE now own the rights for, which shut down in 1986 when CM Punk was 8 years old. IWA Mid South was a small time Indy out of India ran by Ian Rotten which shut down 2 years ago.
@@geoffa87you’ll probably end up making a lot of friends by making money. People willingly giving you money means you’re making them happy.
"You didn't catch up with him since?"
"Some stuff came up Ariel" 😂😂😂
I was laughing hella lot.
😂
CM Punk freaking rules, dude! Hey! He freaking rules!
@@BlackFaithProductionmark
@@ThePc-DjHub Henry! 🍫
Dave Meltzer said he didn't watch this whole thing but then went on to talk about it for 30 mins like he did and got a lot of things wrong. what a goof.
That guy is still relevant?
@@aawharver4948 to aew he is
Dave has been on steroids for 40 years. . .it turns your mind to mush
Dave Meltzer is, was, and always will be a hack.
@@aawharver4948nope. Only with smarks.
Who's here after the AEW All In footage?
Punk was right and was telling the truth.
Me 😂😂😂
That already aired?
Word for Word Bar By Bar
love the little dig when asked about Wembley attendance
"you'd have to check the turnstile count"
@@LoPhatKao that was good because sales doesn't necessarily mean attendance
“I didn’t punch anyone… I just choked somebody a little bit.”
The way Punk said that 😂😂
He said it like he put a petulant child in a head lock for getting mouthy
@yankees512417 that's pretty much what happened. Just the adult version.
@@yankees512417imagine Perry cussing out everyone and having a temper tantrum cause of a glass spot in a match 😂
I may have committed some light assault
He couldn't even choke out a bum like Mike Jackson and still trying to act tough.
i know your audience was hating on this segment since its not MMA related but they need to understand you scored the most sought after and anticipated interview in the last 10 years for wrestling fans and crushed it. you hit everything and got all the answers, well done
As they should. . Phil was a scrub in MMA😅
@EagleFang86 atleast he hopped in the octagon. Fts
@@EagleFang86why are you watching this then
@@EagleFang86 You AEW marks sure do spend alot of time on the internet commenting non stop on videos about cm punk lmao. Go touch grass
Seen you on hella comments man.. thats some weird parasocial fanboy stuff man.. I'm not even tryna be mean bro.. its sad.. @@EagleFang86
Punk wasn’t lying. He really did choke him. Samoa Joe saved Jack Perry from being choked unconscious
The irony
Lol you aren't choking anyone unconscious from that position, it was more like a front headlock, that is not how you apply a standing guillotine(which he was incorrectly attempting to apply)
Punk is a nerd who couldn't even lock up a guillotine on 120 lb Jungle Boy.
@@PavelGaborikyou know what, you aren’t an idiot. But if you are in punk’s position you aren’t applying the standing guillotine correctly either. It’s open space and people surrounding you, not allowing you to even get upright to apply pressure. Punk may be a nerd, but put both punk and Jack in a room and can guarantee he puts him to sleep lol
But he lied about not punching?
@@PavelGaborikwhen things get heated no one is thinking “oh how can I apply an actual guillotine” you’ve probably never been in a scuffle
Just had to come back to celebrate Phil's W with you fine people.
Hell yeah bro
Yep
Genuine article in a business of counterfeit bucks

Props to Ariel, what an interview. No softball questions.
Aew fans were like “he’s going to ask WWE questions” they’ve never watched Ariel interviews with WWE wrestlers, he always asks tough questions.
🐐 for a reason!
The exact opposite of Tony Khan's no questions answered interview lol
Yeah and it's cool. Cause on wwe television he can't mention aew etc
That’s what you get when you have a real journalist, not your friends playing journalist because they made a RUclips channel
"I'm the truth, and the truth is painful" -CM PUNK
No the truth is currently one half World tag team champions silly. But it’s alright ask his friends Tom and Nick and they’ll tell you all about him! 😂
Man whether you love CM Punk or hate CM Punk, you cannot deny the guy is an absolute wordsmith.
That is so true, whenever he was a heel I hated so much and when he went face I loved the guy. This man really knows how to work the crowd. When it comes down to Phil Brooks, I have mixed feelings tho.

shows you how goofy Vince is when he's not acting like a psychopath
To anyone who still hasn’t seen the backstage footage. Don’t worry you didn’t miss anything
When CM Punk speaks people listen.
I actually watched the whole video no skips
i fell asleep 3 times trying to listen to this
He is the only 1 getting over 1 million views 😮
@@DaniellesMicoMarley i got hard reading this
@@BanarasDiaries__-2023only took a few days too. lol
Tony Khan feared for his life listening to this interview
at least this time he has a reason to :D
Tony Khan fears for his life every time he has to have a confrontation even if it’s as small as someone picking up his coffee on mistake at Starbucks
Which is why he doesn’t put any of his action figures in the ‘naughty’ box
😂😂😂
💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tony Khan has listened to many interviews but he has never feared for his life the way punks interview made him feel
In 2014, CM Punk gave us The Godfather of shoot interviews... nine years later, he gives us The Godfather Part 2!
Yup. Complete with better production value.
But will there be a Godfather 3?!?!
Think he will sue Arial too?
@@runjr032 Unless Ariel* misdiagnoses a dangerous staph infection, I think not.

Came here to say CM Punk was right.
Somebody said right,
"When CM Punk talks, people listen."
Mike Tyson said it perfectly. “A man that is a friend to everyone is an enemy to himself.”
That describes Tony Khan PERFECTLY.
And u said it perfectly 😂
I read that in Mike Tyson's voice. "himthelf"
Any other convicted rapists you want to quote?
Tyson said that? Damn thats awesome
Wouldn’t that describe Punk’s friends
27:27 Vince: “Let’s connect later”
Punk: “Sure”
*30 minutes later Vince is escorted out the building*
So glad he’s gone. He was toxic and holding them back.
@MillyBitchell No he wasn't. He's one of the reason why wwe was so successful. And when he dies yall would be coming back here talking about how much of a legend he is
@@ajboss924vince absolutely held wwe back
@@ajboss924 there's no denying Vince is a powerful influence of wrestling but he needed to go

Man. Ariel is a master at interviewing. I’m sitting here thinking question after question is something I wouldn’t have known to ask. You did it, dude. You’re a genius at this
Lemme guess, your back here after watching that AEW backstage footage 💀💀
You’re
@@TL2354 wow bet that made u feel better #AEWCRYBABIE
I’ve been back a few times since then lol
this might honestly be my favorite punk interview ever LMFAO
And unlike most people there is ALOT of competition for that spot. I think Punk was dead on when talking about how well he walks the line between what’s real and what’s wrestling. This was phenomenal.
Fr fr 🤣😂🤣
1 - This
2 - The scrum
3 - AOW
Hearing the ack stage story is so interesting. I really want to see the backstage footage of him walking out
Hands Down
Punk just casually dropped the greatest shoot interview of the 2020s
Or all time 😂
He’s got the best shoot interview of both this decade and the last
Absolutely👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This and Brawl Out are tied imo
All he does is complain. Hes had troubke everywhere he's been, i guess everyone is wrong exceot him
Aged like fine wine 🥂
Who yu tellinnnnnn✨🥰🥰
"I think some stuff came up Ariel" has to be one of my favorite lines out of this interview. Hes so good off the cuff coming up with witty things to say.
"I would rather choke to death on greatness, than starve on mediocrity". - Wow - what a line.
could be the other way around too
"I would rather starve to greatness than choke* on mediocrity"
great quote but not punk’s.
Macho Man said that in a promo once. " I would rather die of exhaustion than starvation."
@@JohnJonny-cb3il Didn't say it was, so adding that it wasn't his line was unnecessary.
@@carlDJSactually it was necessary. When I read it, it sounded like it was Punk’s line. So It was good it was pointed out and the other commenter about Savage.
The butterfly effect of CM Punk's airpods falling off, him showing up unannounced at a WWE event.
So we owe CM Punk's WWE return to Liv Morgan and Bayley 😂
U had me at Liv looking for them
Liv Morgan might of been on her hands and knees but it wasn’t cause she was looking for no damn AirPods
Pepsi Phil strikes again!
@@Sadeye92LMFAOOOOOOO
The butterfly effect of this interview, is AEW embarrassing themselves ONCE AGAIN after airing the Brawl Out footage.
I was one of those people that CM Punk referred to when he said “that there’s people out there that hate me because I beat Jeff Hardy”
I felt that one 😂
Ya know what's dope about this video? The fact that among those million views, you know everyone from Drew to Tony Khan to Kenny Omega, from Renee Paquette to Triple H and Roman Reigns are in that view count.
Oh, and Dave Meltzer

@@kevinkasmarski6635 yeah but that's a given
Kinda cool when you think about it that way.
Who’s a dope?
Extremely interesting take OP. Never thought of that 🤔
Him talking about Vince the way he did is just about the most CM Punk thing ever
Bro literally walked on the red line but didn't cross it when talking about Vince 😮😮
Bruh compared him to Jeffrey Dahmer 😂
@@saphalraj4929 He didn't compare Vince to Jeffrey. He just compared both situations

A two hours CM Punk interview for free? I think I love you.
It’s the best in the world 🌎
I definitely would have paid to hear this.
Very true.. I wasn't really expecting it to be that accessible when I just now searched it up.
It's 1 hour 50 minutes and 7 seconds though.
I think this is understated, but CM Punk is one of the most fascinating performers in the history of professional wrestling. This guy has stayed extremely relevant into his mid-40s! And he still looks great. Kudos to him
He’s the first ever “indie darling” that made it in WWE then left in the middle of his prime, became known as the anti-WWE guy, came back to another company and gave them their most successful years, then came back to WWE because he rebelled against the indie mentality. Interesting career.
Truly a cult of personality, and he's always changing it up, he evolves just enough to keep people coming back to him but not enough to lose the core audience that still sees him as the martyr of wwe rebellion, or the indie breakout, or the aew reviver, etc.
Punk is the man. His AEW run was awesome all things considered. Im glad WWE is on fire now and Punk made the move back there.
Less than 24 hours and this podcast already has a better viewer rating than Collision.
Underrated comment hahaha made me laugh out loud
This comment made Tony feel unsafe at work.
@@albertosillywhips7281 ♥
CM Punk reassured what you felt was happening in AEW.
😂😂😂
Bayley deserves a raise for getting CM Punk back in WWE. That story of him and Liv and Bayley is like a story of karma, paying him back for being cool to people. As a result, he's back.
What??
I heard Randy Orton was also responsible for getting Punk back in WWE. All hats of to Orton as well as Bayley.
@@dr.alexander7039 what?
@@SerkeysTV What?
Her babyface theme song playing at Wrestlemania is gonna hit like a pure 70s crack.
CM Punk was right, after seeing the footage, AEW is cooked.
Coming back to this interview after AEW aired the footage.
Punk told the truth, and AEW is a joke.
CM Punk >>> The Elite
The main takeaways that I have from this is that Nick Khan is the best thing that has happened to WWE in years. Sounds like an amazing businessman
What about HHH?
@@victory7763 triple h for sure when it comes to creative and building a better working environment but for business deals and acumen Khan is absolutely superb for the company
Both @@victory7763
He works for Nick.@@victory7763
HHH is best creatively for business
"i didn't punch anybody. I just choked somebody a little bit". That was PURE GOLD!
Yeah, what a nice guy.
Does Punk have any credibility left?
CM Punk is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers and one of the guys that got me back into wrestling, but I hate to say it, I think his credibility has taken some massive hits.
CM Punk is not a badass, nor is he a tough man. We've seen that now. Ziggler is a championship wrestler, and could probably kick his ass IRL. Woods wrestled in high school, same. Cody, same. Hell, Daniel Bryan, even with his size difference, looks like he understands grappling and BJJ basics more than Punk.
I just have trouble buying that guy as being able to handle people. I know wrestling is fake, but in not seeing most guys actually fight, you can kind of buy into the fact that they'd be able to kick the asses of any number of people. Now I look back at the arguments between Punk and Chris Brown and Punk and Shawn Merriman and wonder "... could those guys take him out actually?"
At least Brock and Ronda were champions at one point. Punk got beat by a journalist. It's like if Tyson Fury got his ass kicked by Perez Hilton.
I still got love for the guy, but maybe Punk stays out of both wrestling and MMA and focuses on things like comic books, podcasts and... something. Whatever he can do that's non-physical.
I honestly doubt cm punk is beating up ANYONE after his EMBARRASSMENT in ufc TWICE
@@JacobBen94 Teddy Hart beat the crap out of CM Punk.
@@JacobBen94all those guy you named would also get there asses kicked in mma. 90 percent of the roster would get there ass whooped brock,Bobby and a few others are the rare exception. Punk would probably beat the average Joe tbh
aaaaaand punk told the truth about wembley as we seen at aew.
This interview triggered Tony and the EVPs so hard that they aired the backstage all in footage and proved Punk's words right. It's so stupid, it's like when Tony got so mad at Ariel that he threw Schiavone under the bus. 😂
Not all the EVPs, just the Bucks. Apparently Kenny spoke about the whole ordeal with Punk on his Twitch stream and stated there was never any bad blood between them. Also stated that after the locker room fight settled down, Kenny and Punk talked their stuff out.
Just the Bucks. Kenny and Punk have no beef.
@@CarnageRulez469 I saw that and it's refreshing to see someone with a nature intellectual take on it. While I'm not a fan of his wrestling style, Kenny earned my respect with what he said.
Punk’s smirk when Ariel brings up Tony Khan fearing for his life was classic.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cornette gonna Die laughing watching this interview
I wonder if we'll ever really know what happened that day. I don't believe Kahn or punk
@@visuallearning1620 Eventually when someone trustworthy who was there tells the story.
@@visuallearning1620you just know Tony told everyone involved to never mention anything about it
Time stamp please 😅
Love that Bret Hart is in the background of a CM Punk interview. Very poetic
The best there is, was and ever will be. At least in pro wrestling.
Remember when Shawn tells Punk "nice hoodie"? 😂
Jack Perry: "I am going to break glass and kick ass."
Punk: "No, I don't think you will."
Only Austin can do that haha
Tony Khan hearing what Punk said about him. “😳” 🤣
Probably not
@@FeedMeNuggiesoh he will.
My moneys on he "felt in fear for his life" when Phil made those comments 💀
I’m sure uncle Dave called him with all the ☕️
That open eye emoji made more sense if you seen the tony khan gif lol
“I’d rather choke to death on greatness than starve on mediocrity” that’s why he’s the legend and the guys that hate on him are just a bunch of sorry losers
he starves. It's all talk. He can no longer go in the ring
@@Ultradude604 him not being able to go will still outdraw just about every single person putting on 6 star matches and it isn't even close.
He's a waste of money and resources for TKO shareholders
@CtO-nj9uu the merch sales and ratings say otherwise.
@@Ultradude604 Ohup found one
CM Punk should be a billionaire for how many times he's been right, AEW really showed the footage thinking people would go against him.
"I would much rather choke to death on greatness than starve on mediocrity."
That might be one of the best quotes of the year.
Says the guy who never main evented a mania.
@@tonyclifton2230Keep beeing bitter Mark
@@thefiendish186 what did I say that was false.
@@tonyclifton2230 It´s not what you said, but HOW you said it and in what context.
@@tonyclifton2230
You obviously don't understand the quote.
He would rather choke on his quest to greatness ( not main eventing)
Then be someone who starves in mediocrity,
Wrestlers who are happy to just be on the pre show.
He would rather fail striving for greatness as opposed to being a big fish in a small pond and being satisfied or complacent with being in the Andre the giant battle royal.
Or even worse, being completely ok with never making it to WWE.
It is better to fail on the big stage striving for greatness like a WM main event or is it better to succeed as a main event for some small Indy fed ?
Even main eventing Wembley Stadium for AEW isn't the same as main eventing WrestleMania.
Ask 100 random people on the street to name a wrestling event & 95 will say WrestleMania, 5 will say Royal Rumble, and exactly zero will say All In.
You know what, I'm a man and I can admit I was wrong about punk. I'm happy he took the time to do this interview, he didn't need to and he went out of his way to provide clarity in those situations he was involved in. I can't say I'm a huge fan but I will say I respect him as a man
“Clarity” from one perspective. Here’s the real take, everyone involved with in these childish argument are idiots, including punk

This is 2 hours of interview worth my time. CM Punk is a real person, and that's straight-up facts.

I will always be a CM Punk guy one bill Phil is the GOAT!
Same here!
can't believe I sat and listened to C.M Punk for over an hour.. and absolutely loved all of it..
So Punk was right 🤣
was was was is alway right never lie
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Tony Khan for doing the impossible and making this happen.

I’m a big CM Punk fan. No matter the chatter and differing opinions. This man is 100% authentic. You look great, Phil.
Real bummer that he got injured in his first match back on television.
like Mussoliniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
This video is already classic
46:48 (Posted after footage released.)
I think people are forgetting that the only reason Punk went up to Jack to begin with was because Tony Khan wasn’t doing his job properly. Also, from what Punk describes, Jack sounded pissy for no reason. So, although I don’t defend Punk’s actions, I understand his frustrations. Also, the footage has no audio. So for all we know, Jack said something that ticked him off.
Victims of this interview
- Tony Khan
- Dave Meltzer
- Jungle Jerkoff
- Colt (stray)
- The Elite
- Vince
Am I forgetting anyone???
Real talk, this is one of the most open and honest interviews ever. A lot of misconception about this dude has gone out of hand and you can tell all he wants to do is make a difference and make a living and enjoy what he is doing. And Tony fumbled the bag big time letting him go and keeping the jackasses.
Where is he talking about Dave Meltzer?
@@felix0704 He made a comment by saying, "If you're okay with doing five star rated matches by some goof (goof being Meltzer) with a stadium 1/4 full, then we're not in the same business".
@@noahpeterlin4235 and he is not wrong!!
jungle boy
Until his next tantrum and blow-up in the WWE 😂😂
I never thought id see the day CM Punk was in the wwe and vince McMahon isnt.
Can he finally get his ice cream bars? I know they did do that at AEW but they weren't the same thing. They need real CM Punk picture-on-cookie ones.
My friend got one at a WWF house show in 1992 where I saw Warrior wrestle for three seconds and it really disappointed me it was so short... he was in and out in like a minute. Some dads were yelling "hey how about the kids??". All the other faces took a lap around the ring to high five kids. We didn't have ringside seats but all the kids ran up to the guardrail during the entrances and after matches.
Anyway I never got one of the classic ice cream bars and I regret it. I remember asking my friend how it was and he said "not bad".
Life is most bizarre at times.
Punk played the long game for sure lol
That pipebomb promo came full circle, he cooked mcmahon here as well...
Like you said, and I'd like to think that this company would be better after Vince McMahon is dead. He wasn't lying, Vince McMahon still may be alive, but he's dead to the wrestling world honestly. Punk was right
Punk Was Right
*"We got em."*

Underrated CM Punk line.

As a fan who was in All In, thank you Punk for being professional and actually wrestling Joe
It was a great match!
Punk and Joe go way back, of course he is not going to disrespect his friend.
That match was sooooo good. Their chemistry was phenomenal.
yh i was there too, it was a solid match
It was a great way to end his AEW run
Punk knows : Bret is always right.
It’s funny asf because there’s a Bret Toy behind Punk and honestly there’s too many similarities at the two to be a coincidence.
he didnt say that
In this case, Brett is always left
Not always but he makes valid points alot. No one is always right
@@paulz4667 Except for Bret hart
CM Punk: Tell me when im telling lies

Sorry for adding this
I don't know if anyone in the future will find this comment. But in the long wonderful future which is so far ahead, if there's a way to travel back in time, please come back and say 'Go for it' to me.
(Me, A girl, Like, too sacred to take the leap of faith)
Just like Austin, weird how these guys are the most respected to talk despite fractured careers
If you're a psychopath considering something weird then do not, I repeat, do not go for it
@@nabilanwar3625 it was about talking to a girl I like but should've clarified
Cm Punk is just brutally honest. Thats why so many people hate him but many more support him
Hell Yes Agree 💯
He lies a lot too lol everything he says just fit his narrative lol
Yeah Punk lies ALLL the time, but to be fair to him, I think he's just a narcissist, I doubt he realises he's lying, he just remembers everything in a self-serving way
" I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for something that I'm not "
Dude lives by what he says, even in a promo.
He is the biggest hypocrite in god's green earth that's why people hate him
Jim Cornette and Eric Bischoff are gonna have a field day with those comments on Tony Kahn.
Vince russo too if he smart enough
Khan
@@christian6455 considering how out of pocket his takes are, "somehow" I highly doubt that
Rightfully so
I cannot wait to hear Corny go in on TK, AEW and Punk for a good hour. It is needed
Who’s back after AEW stupidly confirmed his story??? 47:20
Yep. Right here.
Do you think the real reason they brought this footage up was to find out who Punk's friends are?
@@senatorarmstrong4936 come on ik the company is on the downturn, but I doubt they are THAT PETTY
The schadenfreude I'm enjoying at the expense of AEW is delicious.
@@amicooke1790I’m addicted.
What a meltdown
i’ve always been and will always be a CM Punk fan
I’ve listened to interviews for 25 years, but this is the first time I feared for my life
This is how you conduct an interview. The interviewer isnt constantly looking at the camera or reacting in a fake way. Not pretending that everything is awesome. Hardly any interruptions and no gimmicks.
Ariel is great at asking all the right questions people want to hear but allowing guests to then have their say.
The Punk and MJF feud was PERFECTION.
I just bought a CM Punk merch, from the WWE Shop, in order to celebrate the release of the AEW All In backstage footage 😂😂
Fascinating
Love him or hate him I’m sure y’all watched the whole interview 😂😂
Based off some of these replies seems the haters watched maybe a total of 5 mins and felt the need to express their hate
Fastest 1:50:00 I’ve spent on RUclips 😝
@@Lambzy when your a draw, your a draw, not a big fan of Punk but dam he is entertaining. I’m actually wishing him the best, WWE is on a different level right now and with Punk I’m sure it’s gonna be very entertaining lol
Went by quick can't lie
Ngl I went from hating to loving about a quarter way through the video.
The fact Jim cornette was right about this from what CM Punk confirmed is mind blowing 🤯
Pretty sure after listening to this that Jim got the info first hand from punk.
@@vougiedipond6979I’ve always thought Jim or his cohost have people on the inside feeding them the truth.
They've outright said they have, from the beginning more or less@@dwaynewright9981
he talk with Tony before AEW lunch and just got the whole idea about him.
@@dwaynewright9981it looked pretty obvious too what was going on
I think I prefer hearing this interview than seeing the footage. Make me feel less fearful of my life. Just a little bit, though.
Tony, is that you? 😂😂
So true, but even just hearing it man i was scared, i was curled up in the fetal position hiding under my covers like a little baby, it was terrifying.
The pose C.M. Punk strikes around 1:26:49-1:26:51 & the look on his face, respectively are just priceless.
Punk hit the nail on the head saying AEW is more concerned with putting on a 5 star Meltzer match then actually growing the TV and live crowd audience. The indie stuff doesn't work long term for an American wrestling audience and its only sustained cause Tony's dad is rich.
The whole promotion is based on popping Unca Dave.
I know it’s weird but I like to compare aew to ridiculousness on mtv. The first two shows you watch you love them but then realise it’s just the same thing every time
Hey kid, they're funded and earning more than the network expected...try to keep up and get your fingers out of hhh's ass.
@@Ckw200 and this is based on what exactly? The very limited analysis on AEW earnings has them being net negative and not having any profits.
@@Ckw200 they are losing money and viewers out the wazoo
CM Punk never disappoints on an interview. Internet wrestling fans may not like him, but even they can't say he isn't as honest as a person can be. So glad he's back in the WWE.
He is not a honest person... He is the Most toxic hypocrite guy I ever saw in my life
@@adampage7878okay whatever you say. Lmao
@@adampage7878you’re exactly who this ops comment was taking about lol.
I dunno. Punk has an ego issue and I think his inability to reign it in is part of the reason he's seen as a dishonest guy. He's willing to twist the facts just enough to not be a lie, but also not be the full truth.
I truly believe his issues in AEW began when his ego was hurt seeing that some other "Indie" guys did what he said he would do. And because he wasn't immediately shown respect by absolutely everyone in the locker room, he took it personally. His ego is the reason everyone around him seemed "like children."
That's pretty hyperbolic to say considering you don't know this person in real life. @@adampage7878
CM Punk was always the adult in the room. I can listen to he or Dax all day. I was really hoping AEW Collision was going to stay the way he had it. Well, that was gone quickly......
This was an awesome interview. I've never been a huge CM Punk fan, but listening to this just won me over. Smart guy with a ton of wisdom. Really enjoyed all of this interview.
This interview was more interesting than anything the bucks have done in the past 5 years
*in their entire careers
Yeppp literally
😂
@@Sp3ar.overrated. I remember going to an AEW show and a WWE show. I could not believe how much better WWE currently is, the storytelling and character development is Miles better than anything AEW is doing
Truth. They’re absolutely awful.
Punk with the slick back hair looks good just like he did in 2011
@User_40437 It's not the first time we've seen punk bring that hair back if u didn't know. Also in my opinion it look better when it's not slicked back because it doesn't really fit him anymore to me
@@ajboss924Maybe you're not used to it like how I'm still adjusting to it, with the gray beard. 😅
@theronquishow5837 Yea but the grey beard is just awful. Yea I know it's his beard but I just wish he would just shave it off. Or just dye it. Because the beard being grey and black doesn't suit him in my opinion
Ariel should have asked him if he will ever grow out his hair like he had it in 2007.
@@ajboss924you damn kids man
Now this a top 3 cm punk promo
After seeing the footage Punk was right💯😂
CM Punk tells it like it is, and I respect him for it.
“i didn’t punch anybody , i just chocked somebody a little bit” should be on a T-shirt 😂
Imagine Drew McIntyre made it a t shirt
Funny watching Brian Alvarez (one of the reporters that punk was referring to in this interview) cry about Punk saying that and yet supposedly Alvarez is a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu lol
As a jiu jitsu guy he should know exactly what Punk means when he says that but instead he has to act outraged anyway because the Bucks and all of those guys are his little butt buddies.
@@jamesmiller5331imagine listening to Alvarez and Meltzer unironically though 😂 who cares what those bums think
@Hypno_BPM hey I read that first part and took offense until I got to "unironically" lol
I click on the videos mainly to needle people in the comment section. It's fun. Give it a try sometime 😉
1 hour and 50 minutes have never felt shorter. I loved every bit of it. Thanks to Punk for not dodging any questions. Haters will hate but this guy is pure gold.
Couldn’t stop watching
I didn't hear anything wrong in anything he said
@@chapingaryjrwho said he said anything wrong?
Well tony khan just confirmed everything said here and got his fans to chant cm punk at the young bucks
And he’s gaining followers lol
Whos here after watching All In footage?
It proves everything Punk said was right.
Everything except the punch
There was no punch….
"anyone with Twitter calls themselves a journalist"
What a goddamn own!💣
I know that was directed at Meltzer, but I love that that self-serving shmuck Sean Ross Sapp got dragged there. 😂😂😂
@@Jeff_Pryce Sean Sapp is a damn weasel.
and all those marks in wrestlepurists and fightful
💯✨💯
