I think Punk should be considered and among top 10 greatest WWE champs ever, considering how long he had the title. But what i fear will happen, is that ppl will argue and say "oh look at the other superstars he had to fight to defend his title" maybe say that they were inferior to wrestlers from the past who challenged for the title, and because of that they'll say he shouldn't be among the greatest champs.
Well, they've got a point. If you are going to judge it by longevity, both JBL and Diesel would be up there as well. And yet, I'd laugh at anyone who'd consider them in the Top 10.
Greatest champions? sure. Greatest Title Run ?? hell to the no, he was undercard the entire run to SuperCena. Whoever heard of a Midcard WWE Champion? Cena is just a cancer to the industry.
misterwishart Nash was just a fucking disaster as champion, He was even worse than cena, 3 moves and wobbled around was just painful. 1995 was a dark year.
I think Punk's right. He did pave the way for the indie guys. He might not be the entire reason, don't get me wrong, but I think that his success is a big part of what we're seeing now with the next generation, with NXT and the main roster filled with guys with indie backgrounds. I think he's the most influential of his generation, from the promo that broke kayfabe and the fourth wall and everything to his look, his style and his background.
He definitely belongs amongst the TOP 10 greatest champions of All Time . 434 days and we still wanted more . Turned a Hell but we still wanted him to win . WWE You guys lost someone that could have ended his career a bigger star than Stone Cold .
People screaming "put the belt on Ambrose, Ziggler or Cesaro" don't know what they are talking about. You can't just put a belt on a person like that. Sure, you can put it on Cena or Orton just like that since they will probably be Main Eventers for life, but those guys are nowhere near that level. Anyone of those guys need a real push and be shown credible before just getting the title. If WWE would put the title on Cesaro or Ziggler RIGHT NOW, I would feel sick. I'd rather see Cena have it. And people like Daniel Bryan because he's a great wrestler and his passion for wrestling shines through in every match. He's intense. But you only care about looks, yet you hate Cena and Orton even though they are just as good as Reigns.
I hope reigns,ambrose,ziggler,cesaro, and kofi kingston get the world championship at one time in there career. but I agree you cant just put a belt on em, you gotta build it up.
I totally understand where you're coming from and I couldn't agree more. But being a fan for over 15 years, I have seen some crazy shit happen with these titles..
To me this answers everybody's question about why he left. He said this is the last year he's gives mania a shot. So wwe really fucked up with him mania wise.
As I see it there are only two men on the current WWE roster who deserves the WWE title. ( Brock not included. Even if he is the real deal. ) Those two are as follows 1. Bray Wyatt - Why? Simple.The man has fantastic mic skills. A true master on cutting promos. NO ONE can cut a promo like this guy. Wyatt is unmatched infact. Best guy in the mic. ( Current. ) 2. Seth Rollins - Why? THE heel at the moment. And so much momentum going his way it's almost unreal. Either of those two, preferably both should win the WWE World title next year,
Poor Punk , all he ever wanted really was to just once MAIN EVENT Wrestlemania . But you got guys lie cena and part timers like The Rock and Brock who are hogging the spotlight. .... Thanks For everthing Cm Punk 2006 -2014 .
CM Punk vs Jericho had main event potential, but teenagers and has-beens wanted to see Cena vs Rock. Undertaker vs Punk: Wrestlemania streak vs 500-day champion streak. that couldve been better for business. Unfortunately, Im not wearing a suit :(
Undertaker vs Punk , Streak vs Streak , Could and Shouldve been the Main Event for WM 29 . Instead we got another bullshit mania main event ....and imagree with you Brotha
Jesse Reyes agree, in the beginning you could tell he love the company, but by this time it had gone. if you haven't listened to the art of wrestling podcast i suggest you should, i think its number 206
I did , he was just flat out frustrated with backstage politics that it made him slowly lose interest in the company . Cm Punk was one of the most gifted wrestlers .
cm punk is best since day 1 he entered wwe,nailing each and every superstar.....he won money in the bank 2 times nd took away every chants from a stereotype guy john cena who always irritated us with his parady of hustle,loyalty,respect for over a decade.nd even fans cheered him equally wen he faced the rock and undertaker respectively.his role in wwe always has been diverse from nexus to best n the world nd his quotes nd his onring skill made him the best even steve austin said that in an interview,i urge every1 to file a petition fr the retgurn of punk,wwe universe want punk,
CM Punk should be the next Undisputed Champion, winning both the Wrodl Heavyweight title and the WWE title. Maybe that could happen in Wrestlemania 30, himm being in the two main events, defending one title and competing for the other. Either that or winning the other two belts, US and Intercontinental Championships, at the same time, beating Dean Ambrose and Curtis Axel.
There it is people. He hinted that this could be his last year to push for a main event in WrestleMania. And judging by his last appearance, it wasn't panning out that way. With Kane eliminating him in the Royal Rumble after Kane was already eliminated. I don't think that's what he wanted. But I think more importantly, he was just beaten up, tired after 15 years of wrestling. He doesn't owe anyone a farewell or thank you(though he did just that on Twitter). He left on HIS own terms and I respect that!
completely with you. I dont understand the saltiness towards punk by wrestling fans. like guy unhappy at his job, leaves. whats to hate about that. the whole oh you abandoned us is just pathetic, or just calling him a quitter as an insult. there are so many entitled twats that are wrestling fans.
Many before him and there will be many after him, he will just be a memory but won't be mentioned with the best of alltime. He had the wolrd in his hands and ruined any part of being remembered as a great one. Guess he made enough money and said screw it i'll just live off these millions. That's basically the story of CM Punk.
Hahaha he's trying soo hard to sound modest, which is cool, but he's right. He did help pave the way for more "smaller guys" and has certainty helped the Indie guys get taken more seriously. I mean, since the time he delivered that promo, we've seen the likes of Ambrose, Rollins, and Cesaro make it on television.
If you ask me, Macho Man paved the way for bret and shawn. Macho was never that big of a guy, but people forget that because his personality was larger than life so no one focused on him being small.
he has to come back like no offense he will be great in ufc but how will he be in ufc and batista came back after a few years same with brock and also when he left he was supposed to fight triple h at wm30 and he left cause he didnt wanna face him and he was scheduled to win so he will come back and i dont care if its 2030 he will come back and i will love it and him
"Let Brazilian jiu-jitsu take care of the rest." This is why I'm worried about this match. I hope they don't feature a lot of boring MMA style mat based wrestling. Watching that shit is like being entertained. Except the opposite.
If you guys could really think this through, guys like Cena, Punk, HHH, Orton, etc with all those multiple title reigns no matter the persona or how they get reactions, those are still HOF worthy statistics..which in my opinion ashamed of with Cena and somewhat of Orton (most recent reign). I just never think a lot of guys have put that into thought.
Him and Cena actually did help Daniel Bryan espcially,Vince McMahon is helping which noone is seeing it that way it's making him more popular and eventually he'll be champion. I'm not fan of Daniel Bryan either but it's the truth I guess.
a little arrogant, possibly spot on though.... It was not just him ... Anyone remember Paul London? I wish they had let him be more like the Intrepid Traveler... WWE should have picked London over Kendrick IMO... as Punk has stated before, had it not been for Paul Heyman literally BEGGING WWE to keep him, he got his chance and the rest is history.... He was one of the first true Indy Wrestlers to sign with WWE awhile before, IMO, They started letting HHH give his input... hence the influx of Dean, Seth, Cesaro, Owens, balor, hideo, etc
Planning to perform a brazillian ju jutsu on a former NCAA champion, a former UFC heavyweight champ Brock lesnar is the lamest thing I've ever heard.😂😂😂
Ima be honest cm punk puts a black eye on small guys compared to Rey mysterio who took some crazy bumps that made u have respect for him and say wow he can do things no one else can do as well the cruserweights from the wcw days would outshine wrestling wise the wwf and the higher stars of wcw hell when wcw went under wwf got all those guys and made them top tier!
I think Punk's right. He did pave the way for the indie guys. He might not be the entire reason, don't get me wrong, but I think that his success is a big part of what we're seeing now with the next generation, with NXT and the main roster filled with guys with indie backgrounds. I think he's the most influential of his generation, from the promo that broke kayfabe and the fourth wall and everything to his look, his style and his background.
"i just let brock lesnar tackle me and ill let brazilian jiu jutsu do the rest.." spoken by a white belt in BJJ lmao. Oh by the way a white belt is the rank given to 6yo kids who just joined the sport for the first time.
quote from punk is he said he refuses to get a new belt basically because he feels thats like a flaunt or you could go by what he actually said which is hey I got a blue cock a purple cock
tylerzwhatz Traditionally there were only two belts in BJJ. White and blue. White indicated student, blue represented someone who had come far enough to help teach. Being that he studies under the Gracies who crafted the art, Punk claims to be white belt for life under their tutelage. Hard to believe that people forget about the Gracies defeating giants for years. I mean Royce tapped out Dan Severn only twenty years ago, anyone remember that lol.
Lol. He would let his 4 strip white belt BJJ take care of a former UFC champion. Good thing it's rigged because Brock would shoot take Punk down and feed him 1 elbow and it would be over.
Dumbass, he's a four stripe white belt because he doesn't believe in belt ceremonies. He has the BJJ skill of a black belt. Get your facts straight before you talk shit.
Lol. My facts are straight. He's a 4 stripped white belt regardless of his supposed reasoning. I actually train BJJ, do you? So I don't buy his nonsense. And last I checked only one of the 2 people we are talking about had documented fights. You refer to me as a dumbass? Look in the mirror pal. Difference I can tell you why you are dumbass. Your simpleton brain can just call a person one. Big difference.
man he was telling the future back then. because it was his last
Well it was his choice to leave so yah i guess he hinted on it
Seemed like Punk enjoyed the interview and I agree with him in regards to the quality of questions you were asking. Job well done all around.
Kinda looks like the Wolverine here.
That was the goal
Cm Punk is and always be the best in the world
Arguable
Lmao
nah
No doubt

He warned us...
He deserved the main event of WrestleMania .
He definitely belongs amongst the TOP 10 greatest champions of All Time . 434 days and we still wanted more . Turned a Hell but we still wanted him to win . WWE You guys lost someone that could have ended his career a bigger star than Stone Cold .
Punk, I hope You'll return to wwe, My hero ❤️❤️
We want punk!!!
CM Punk will remain the best in the world... Love u punk.... Hope to see u fighting against the beast again
Damn I didn't know that Hugh Jackman was a wrestler haha
He isn't mate
NinjaaBeans It was a fucking joke!
Noticed how no one thought it was funny? Good joke
NinjaaBeans Wrong. I thought it was funny.
NinjaaBeans its funny tho, but you don't have a sense of fucking humor.
Best in the world
Jericho got burned out aswell once before and left for a few years and came back so i expect punk back better then ever in a few years no doubt!
How’s that doing lol
@@rm3869 well that didn't age well.
@@rm3869pretty good id say
Cm punk i miss him pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee come back

Punk looks exhausted in this interview.. He definitely needed the time off
he looked like he had Liver cancer for the best part of 6 months he was so banged up and tired.
Time off? he retired
I want the main event of WM30 to be Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk
As I see it there are only two men on the current WWE roster who deserves the WWE title.

and the fact he wrestled with an infection that could have killed him
Win the rumble 2014 and main event Wrestlemania. You would finally have done it all Punk :)
And now he's back!
And now he’s back
Let's see Punk rocking it in a Ralph Lauren polo shirt next year
cm punk is best since day 1 he entered wwe,nailing each and every superstar.....he won money in the bank 2 times nd took away every chants from a stereotype guy john cena who always irritated us with his parady of hustle,loyalty,respect for over a decade.nd even fans cheered him equally wen he faced the rock and undertaker respectively.his role in wwe always has been diverse from nexus to best n the world nd his quotes nd his onring skill made him the best even steve austin said that in an interview,i urge every1 to file a petition fr the retgurn of punk,wwe universe want punk,
really good interview.
Needn't have worried. Match was immense.
Damn! After watching him against Brock Lesnar, i have become one of his fans "CM Punk."
Punk looks like he can play wolverine in the future just by this hairstyle
You could tell here he was absolutely tired and fed up with WWE at this point it's all over his face and mannerisms but still being professional
CM Punk should be the next Undisputed Champion, winning both the Wrodl Heavyweight title and the WWE title. Maybe that could happen in Wrestlemania 30, himm being in the two main events, defending one title and competing for the other.

Punk's mentions of Tyson Kidd helped.
Guys he is back yes
And he din't Main Event Wrestlemania 30..... But he will Main Event Wrestlemania 41 😈😎🔥
yeah that Brazilian jujitsu surely worked in the UFC
Yeah he onlyyyyyy lost twice
@Dionysus awwwww . Was that too much to take in at a time ?
@Dionysus yeah and punk?😔was he a world champ??
Oh no no no wait! He was on the verge of getting released by the ufc right ?🤣🤣
@Dionysus everyone is good at something right?
Like Cm punk is good at getting his ass handed to him by a fanboy in mickey gal
Many before him and there will be many after him, he will just be a memory but won't be mentioned with the best of alltime.

The greatest .
Cool interview, hope CM punk is around in the WWE for a long time.
I miss u cm punk
The fans? We asking for your return!
#CMPunk #WeWantPunk #BestInTheWorld
He was talking about retirement a LOT in 2013.
If you ask me, Macho Man paved the way for bret and shawn. Macho was never that big of a guy, but people forget that because his personality was larger than life so no one focused on him being small.
i miss cmpunk
Best wrestlers in the world
You have the most INTELLECTUAL comment I've read in YEARS.. Keep in touch with me---
He certainly helped indie guys, but small guys were paving the way before him i.e. Benoit, Guerrero, and Mysterio.
Cm punk
If,🚔wait com back cm punk👳🌵🌴🌲🔥
Do you think they'll give the belt to Austin for WM 30 if that's the case? Holy shit that would be amazing!
Humm Punk you are HOT with this shirt! and you gain in maturity
he has to come back like no offense he will be great in ufc but how will he be in ufc and batista came back after a few years same with brock and also when he left he was supposed to fight triple h at wm30 and he left cause he didnt wanna face him and he was scheduled to win so he will come back and i dont care if its 2030 he will come back and i will love it and him
I still want him to come back to man
"Let Brazilian jiu-jitsu take care of the rest." This is why I'm worried about this match. I hope they don't feature a lot of boring MMA style mat based wrestling. Watching that shit is like being entertained. Except the opposite.
CM Punk the reason why i dont watch wwe anymore
Sorry man
If you guys could really think this through, guys like Cena, Punk, HHH, Orton, etc with all those multiple title reigns no matter the persona or how they get reactions, those are still HOF worthy statistics..which in my opinion ashamed of with Cena and somewhat of Orton (most recent reign). I just never think a lot of guys have put that into thought.
Going to be the best wretlemania match in along time between current wwe wrestlers.
He looks a lot like Hugh Jackman, judging from his facial structure.
cm punk please come back to wwe you are the only one who can beat any wwe super star final THE BEST IN THE WORLD
cm punk is tha man !!!
bring back
Last I heard cm punk is suppose to win the royal rumble
Him and Cena actually did help Daniel Bryan espcially,Vince McMahon is helping which noone is seeing it that way it's making him more popular and eventually he'll be champion. I'm not fan of Daniel Bryan either but it's the truth I guess.
Indy are the best wrestlers in America. Any pro company, that's good at all is partly because of those men and women from the Indy scene.
SOO HOT! I love cm punk!!!!! It makes me cry knowing that ill never bramble to meet him ;'(
Punk almost said Chris Benoit
He looks and sounds pissed..
a little arrogant, possibly spot on though.... It was not just him ... Anyone remember Paul London? I wish they had let him be more like the Intrepid Traveler... WWE should have picked London over Kendrick IMO... as Punk has stated before, had it not been for Paul Heyman literally BEGGING WWE to keep him, he got his chance and the rest is history....

God damnit WWE, Austin/Punk Main Event WM 30....for fucks sake everyone and their grandma wants it!
Guys guys this is about #CmPunk not Danielle
Ya HBK and Bret were really the ones that paved the way for guys like Punk and Bryan today.
Planning to perform a brazillian ju jutsu on a former NCAA champion, a former UFC heavyweight champ Brock lesnar is the lamest thing I've ever heard.😂😂😂
Ima be honest cm punk puts a black eye on small guys compared to Rey mysterio who took some crazy bumps that made u have respect for him and say wow he can do things no one else can do as well the cruserweights from the wcw days would outshine wrestling wise the wwf and the higher stars of wcw hell when wcw went under wwf got all those guys and made them top tier!
Definately CM Punk removed, at least quite a bit, the Indy wrestler stigma although its obvious Trips still has some doubts
cm punk is not really small
oh he'll be back, wait till he gets hit once in ufc then he'll crawl right back.
+Mr. Poopies (punk'dpoops) what is it
could change, never know.
yeah i heard.. sucks
***** you make a good point, but it depends who the punch comes from.
JockyRhonson actually that didn't happen
Can we kill this internet negativity everybody!
He's not coming back.
Needs color
cm punk looks tired, got a feeling he will go away for awhile for rest and to re invent him self
Cm punk is angry about his lossing Royal Rumble match and he quites the wwe batista wins the Royal Rumble match
*be able
No sorry my bad
cm should be back in wwe
I think that was AJ next to him
wow
you could be the next wolverine
Fine just leave :( no you schould enjoy life :)
He def. Looked tired.
C m
What do people see in this guy? Couldn't care less hes gone, think the wwe has been more entertaining without him.
Someone is a WWE kid and never even tried to watch the indies.
Must be you, considering I'm the complete opposite.
This can't be a serious question lol
Guessing you're the typical WWE fan boy, that's cute. Let me guess, you blew your load when Daniel won?
Micky D I'm confused. What is wrong with someone being a fan of a wrestler?
You are not the best at all..
Benoit would destroy cm punk
I have respect for both as tru wrestling fan
Benoit is dead you mong
just like his family?
I think Punk's right. He did pave the way for the indie guys. He might not be the entire reason, don't get me wrong, but I think that his success is a big part of what we're seeing now with the next generation, with NXT and the main roster filled with guys with indie backgrounds. I think he's the most influential of his generation, from the promo that broke kayfabe and the fourth wall and everything to his look, his style and his background.
First comment
"i just let brock lesnar tackle me and ill let brazilian jiu jutsu do the rest.." spoken by a white belt in BJJ lmao. Oh by the way a white belt is the rank given to 6yo kids who just joined the sport for the first time.
quote from punk is he said he refuses to get a new belt basically because he feels thats like a flaunt or you could go by what he actually said which is hey I got a blue cock a purple cock
tylerzwhatz Traditionally there were only two belts in BJJ. White and blue. White indicated student, blue represented someone who had come far enough to help teach. Being that he studies under the Gracies who crafted the art, Punk claims to be white belt for life under their tutelage. Hard to believe that people forget about the Gracies defeating giants for years. I mean Royce tapped out Dan Severn only twenty years ago, anyone remember that lol.
special effects
Lol. He would let his 4 strip white belt BJJ take care of a former UFC champion. Good thing it's rigged because Brock would shoot take Punk down and feed him 1 elbow and it would be over.
Brock would beat the shit out of most guys in the wwe I say the only guys that have a chance are big E mark Henry and the big show
Based2kgod14 Only one of those guys even has a wrestling background and it wasn't past HS. Brock would eat those guys alive.
Yeah he's a fucking beast
Dumbass, he's a four stripe white belt because he doesn't believe in belt ceremonies. He has the BJJ skill of a black belt. Get your facts straight before you talk shit.
Lol. My facts are straight. He's a 4 stripped white belt regardless of his supposed reasoning. I actually train BJJ, do you? So I don't buy his nonsense. And last I checked only one of the 2 people we are talking about had documented fights. You refer to me as a dumbass? Look in the mirror pal. Difference I can tell you why you are dumbass. Your simpleton brain can just call a person one. Big difference.
