It is my heartfelt belief that, MJF sat down in the corner for 2 reasons: 1) to reference Punk's collar match with Raven. 2) Because he was marking out so hard in his mind he needed to sit down to keep from breaking his heel persona.
definitely referencing his match with Raven. if you remember or wanna go see [Punk vs Raven] in ROH, MJF was Punk in this match and Punk was Raven; from the point MJF ran out of the ring to getting pulled back to the rope/ ring like Raven did to Punk in their match.
You're absolutely right. I think it was a very deliberate bit of character work from Maxwell on two levels - the second being that when Punk walked out to this music, the same entrance a young MJF probably watched in awe once upon a time, all the spite and venom that make MJF who he is melted away for a few seconds. It took the knees out from under him, both figuratively and literally, and for those few moments all he could do was sit down and be a fan. Or 'one of us', as the song helpfully affirmed.
the energy for punks entrance was insane, I wasn’t familiar with his ROH stuff and the guy next to me had tears in his eyes explaining. just a great fucking match
The first time wrestling really hit me with nostalgia that was heartfelt. This was for everyone that knew of the old Punk. The fans that were around day one. This is definitely homage to his collar match with Raven.
A LOT of us old CM Punk fans from his ROH days/first Summer of Punk had tears on in our eyes this night. I know I bawled like I kid when I heard afi's miseria cantare. I just kinda wish they followed it up with night train. But that'll likely be his theme for his last match.
@@rozodru4790 I had to fight back the tears hearing that. It's just wild how 2000s nostalgia is coming back in the absolute weirdest of ways, and I fucking love it.
I still think it's hilarious that, when MJF's music replaced Cult of Personality, most of the audience appropriately booed his uber-heel work, but some of them audibly cheered just because, at long last, He Did The Thing.
It's sad that you're right. They'll have to do something BIG to top the storytelling, and I don't see how with the roster they have and Tony in charge of booking. Maybe Christian and Adam can do it. Or Sting's retirement. But I don't see anything organically getting over a new star like this feud did with MJF.
There was such a big fight feel to this that you so rarely get in modern pro wrestling. Something you waited for, the result you were unsure about, the culmination of a story, an air of hatred, an unmistakable authenticity in the two people involved… WWE is a lost cause, but be more like this AEW.
What buggs me though is, these storyteling moments are so far and few between. Punk does it, the Bucks do it when they feel like it with Kenny and co., rest of the roster... not so much. Watching people do a wrestle is not enough for me 9 days of of 10. Just an example where AEW gives a viewer chance to lapse before they again have a storyline worth watching for. They had this one, one with Kenny&Page&Bucks, and then the MJF one before he vanished, and that's about it.
I'm sorry but if this was you know what the roof would've been blown off this crowd was dead maybe confused. Imagine punk use this on NXT or Raw soon as the theme hit .01,second cheer eruption
I think that match and the whole Punk/MJF feud earlier in the year was one big love letter towards Ring Of Honor which i don't mind since it mattered the most to C.M Punk and also it made the blood feud between them even more personal and brutal.
Seems mighty New AFI for him to come out to anything after Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes, especially off Sing the Sorrow which came out when I was in college. I thought he was old school punk like at least 90’s…
To piggyback a little off of Vlogmore, this whole dog collar stipulation, the promos, the punk kid vs old veteran, and theme are all callbacks to CM Punk's time in ROH. During that time, Raven was in Punk's shoes, and Punk was in MJF's shoes.
Some of them don’t know. But if it was Chicago it would have been better considering that they are huge fans of Punk from his early years in Pro Wrestling
Hypothetically if this happened in the fed, the crowd would be dead silent. It was nice seeing some members of the crowd recognize the song, the ones who didn't still popped because they got the idea.
Also AEW should really make MJF the main champion perhaps sooner them later for his first championship run instead of waiting for potentially way down the line...or worst case before he even ends up leaving for WWF or something within a couple/few years which would be pretty dang devastating and suck for everyone really...including his character cause I sincerely doubt they'd let him do even half the stuff he does and says in modern day WWE.....
Imagine the hubris you must have to make people siting in a fully lit high school gymnasium and sit thru a three minute instrumental build up while you slowly and seriously make your entrance. CM Punk is insufferable. _Miserable Cantina_ is right.
This is why: ua-cam.com/video/7CbZQpmacJI/v-deo.html It was the culmination of phenomenal story telling, not a one off squash match in Saudi Arabia. Also, Punks first lose in AEW was to MJF and MJF was in control for most of their dog collar match. MJF lost in the but they put him over massively throughout the entire fued.
@@Hearts.x how did triple h bury them? He cheated to win almost every time. So Rvd, Kane, booker, Orton whoever else he beat didn't continue to be successful after?
@@Hearts.x and punk is only doing it for money like Goldberg. Funny how he's suddenly interested in returning to WWE (he was negotiating with them as well as AEW) as soon as he failed elsewhere. Bet if you looked at the pay roll Goldberg is up top of WWE's and CM Punk is up top of AEW's.

both reason are true and valid

This kind of shit reallllly hits hard.

Chicago would've burned the goddamn arena down
Hell yeah we would have.
You’re goddamn right they would’ve.
the crowd signing it makes it even better
A good portion we’re singing, but most were just standing confused because they weren’t familiar with CM Punk’s ROH days
I still think it's hilarious that, when MJF's music replaced Cult of Personality, most of the audience appropriately booed his uber-heel work, but some of them audibly cheered just because, at long last, He Did The Thing.
Peak AEW. They'll never have a feud like this again.

That cackle when MJF music hits is priceless 😂😂😂

there was and never will be a rivalry in professional wrestling quite like cm punk and maxwell jacob friedman
one of the best of this decade
MJF is THE greatest Heel in all of modern day wrestling
#AcknowledgedHim 😉
He is a less famous miz
Agreed but he’s still just a less famous miz
@@scroggydoggy3429 how many years Miz has been in wwe? Casuals would know even ring ropes if they are that old..
From when on is modern day? 2000s edge was downright filthy
It’s so sad Tony fucked this up ! I’m not defending Punk , but if someone came at me I’d be fighting too !
Tony didn't go around picking fights with kids half his age like that 47 year old manchild while calling himself the professional veteran.

Aew is lost to😔
this was AWESOME love Punks AFI song as well was that his song in ROH i don't remember
Yeah
THE GOAT! Screw the haters. Punk forever.
Wow this reminds me of the titantron entrances wwe used to have..before their stupid asses got rid of em.
This angles great cause you can see MJF watch the entrance just like us (you know he’s marking out)
Man AEW give to wrestling so much iconic moments
And this one man is one of them

watching punk walk down that ramp must've been nuts for MJF
I’m sure it was, he was a mark watching an actual pro wrestling star
This should have main evented the PPV
For me it did, I immediately turned off afterwards. I wasn’t about to watch Adam Cole main event a show 😂😂😂😂😂😂
CM Punk STILL the Best in the World!!!!!!!
Even MJF's inner feelings could have been cheering for CM Punk with massive goosebumps..
BITW..
The crowd really shouldn't have fell for it. Punk doesn't wait that long into his music before appearing with "it's clobberin' time!"
And now we'll never get this again most likely.
Even less likely now.
@@JohnnyFlash-possibly again now if MJF actually leaves
this had me smiling ear to ear
Goosebumps city, population me
That mjf entrance music switch was iconic
he should use it more often
I present to you THE REAL CM PUNK!!!
Back when AEW was good 😭
love your hate
your faith lost!
You are now
One of us!!

Thanks so very much for posting this
Say what u will about Punk but that man is AURA personified. Magnificent, awe-inspiring entrance!

What a great vid
This is my favorite CM Punk entrance of all time! Amazing and AEW was on fire. I still think his AEW run was simply amazing
That's one of the best feuds so far in AEW
MjF we love you man🇮🇳🇮🇳
Seems mighty New AFI for him to come out to anything after Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes, especially off Sing the Sorrow which came out when I was in college. I thought he was old school punk like at least 90’s…
The moment mjf sat, holy fk.....
Dog collar match baby...
Punk vrs raven moment ❤❤❤❤
Huge W
Whats the story behind Punks theme lol it fits him honestly
His old career in ROH
To piggyback a little off of Vlogmore, this whole dog collar stipulation, the promos, the punk kid vs old veteran, and theme are all callbacks to CM Punk's time in ROH. During that time, Raven was in Punk's shoes, and Punk was in MJF's shoes.
ROH punk is the real “Cm Punk”
The crowd totally destroyed in 10sec ...
CM punk. 👑👑👑
Should or turned the lights down
Aew crowd is best
Two great entrances to a great match to cap off one the best feuds in AEW ever!
I can't download the song🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Cm punk
My hope is that one day we can get this but for Seth Rawlings coming out to "Battle On" just one more time.

Mjf got a way bigger pop
Awesome
I think it would have been a big plot twist if punk came out as MJF along with his theme then punk would have been in Maxwell's head
Imagine the hubris you must have to make people siting in a fully lit high school gymnasium and sit thru a three minute instrumental build up while you slowly and seriously make your entrance. CM Punk is insufferable. _Miserable Cantina_ is right.
Calm down mark
MJF is just like wwe miz
😂🤣 The Miz is a jobber and a joke. He's nowhere close to MJF's level of greatness. Sit your butt down.
@@christophermarriott1681 the miz is great but mjf is better
Ill draw a comparison, Miz is cartoon and Mjf is anime.
@@christophermarriott1681 my meaning was that he is also booed like the miz bitch
Miz with talent
How come it's okay for Punk to beat the up and coming talent but it isn't for Goldberg and Triple H
