@@michaelm9519 if the passion was there, he wouldn't care about that and simply do it because it made him happy.. Apparently trying UFC did that while Mox did via AEW
Current WWE fans are convinced that the WWE made him. I don’t watch much wrestling anymore, but seeing how WWE’s fan base have essentially all become teenage girls is fucking weird.
those days might return once again soon. He has returned to pro wrestling as of August 20, 2021. That is actually a quote from his AEW debut promo. Good time to be a wrestling fan.
During his return to Professional Wrestling, Punk stated he finally knew why he was crying on that last day (8/13/05) of his ROH tenure -- he knew he was leaving pro wrestling, going to that other place. Making his debut on AEW, he announced his return. Great detail that he chose to emphasize. Welcome back Punk.
@@tdsm99 hold him down?? 2 consecutive times MITB, they give them the thumbs up to go out and deliver the pipebomb, the summer of Punk, 434 days as wwe champion. Yeah! hope they hold me down too
All I can say is CM Punk had balls to speak his mind especially calling out Vince in WWE when he left the company for good. All Elite Wrestling needs a guy like that 👍🏼
AEW got him and then they drove him away. Now there's a rumour that Triple H wants to bring him back, Triple H himself saying that he would work with him again.
CM Punk is the greatest to ever do it as far as my generation goes. Was never the biggest or the strongest but he always spoke his mind and never backed down from competition. Took all his opponents to the limit and proved he’s the Best in the World. The GOAT
@@zulkifli4201 I'm no expert on ROH, but let's just say anything in the past 3 or so years has been that noteworthy. Every good wrestler left, or in the case of Marty Scurll, pushed away by backstage politics. Flip Gordon is amazing, though.
hey me too but it was difficult for me to watch punk's wrestling in indies because there were no dvd's in pakistan my uncle in anerica brought me I.W.A chris hero vs punk dvd and I was fan
Raven's one of my favorites of all time and he's one of the reasons I have ROH a chance. CM Punk, along with the other godfathers of honor, Samoa Joe and Homicide, and the fathers of ROH (Bryan Danielson, Christopher Daniels, and Low-Ki) made me BELIEVE in ROH. That night CM Punk showed up, despite the blizzard, was INSANE! I ordered that DVD the SECOND it was available! That crowd was LIT AF!!!! I can't tell you how many times I've watched Joe vs. Punk II. Those three bouts are required viewing for any wrestling fan. The farewell bout with Colt was so emotional. His entrance alone brought tears to my eyes. Great list, ROH. These videos really remind me why I fell in love with ROH to begin with.
1. (5:51-6:03) That explains why, on a RAW in 2011, he made a snow angel in the ring (and on house shows). 2. (6:04-8:17) *The original pipebomb/Summer of Punk*
Now after watching this video i know why CM punk loved this place.. the wrestlers had almost all of the creative control in ROH. they just enjoyed their time in ring and off ring without being afraid of being fired or pulled up by the boss.. something we can never see in WWE, glad he came to a similar place like ROH... #AEW. Now we will see the real CM punk
The thing with creative control is it works good in the beginning but more and more people start wanting it and saying no to others ideas. That’s why wcw went down. Everyone wanted to have creative control and be the starr
I remember ROH told the fans a lot of the wrestlers announced were going to miss the show but that they had one big surprise for them to compensate and if by the third match or so they were not happy they could get a refund. I remember Julius Smokes calling Cabana out, Cabana's music started playing but then it changed to Punk's, Punk came through the curtain and the whole crowd quickly started chanting "F**k the refund".
I love how poor John Cena was kind of the way to get heat if you were on the way out. Punk does it with the champ is here, Rollins did the You Can't See Me deal to Roderick Strong in his final match, I love it.
"The champ Is here" in that promo was not a John Cena reference, It was for Samoa Joe. Joe was ROH Champion from March 2003 to December 2004 and during most of that title reign his theme song was "The Champ Is Here" by Jadakiss. So Joe started saying "the champ Is here" in promos here and there actually before Cena did (and since Joe and Cena actually knew each other and were friends back then it's also said Cena might have taken It from Joe). So Punk here was taunting Joe, who was seen by everybody as the best ROH Champ up until that point, and of course was Punk's greatest rival.
Fun fact. When he won the ROH title in 2005, for 4 days he was ROH champ, AJ styles was NWA/TNA champ, Cena was WWE champ, and Batista was World heavyweight champ. Kinda cool imo
I'm a massive mma fan, but more than that I'm a wrestling fan. Punk created something very special , from nothing. I hope he realises that now. The ufc is nothing compared to wrestling. He's earned a he'll of a lot of respect in the wrestling world. 👏🏾
It's always interesting how once a wrestler joins WWE their moveset is cut in half. It's like Vince is like, "Stop with all the fancy moves. The announcers already can't call basic moves and you're just making it harder."
7:12 "You stupid...stupid old man, i'm a snake! The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled...was convincing the World it doesn't exist - and this Sunday at Revolution, i'm gonna make clear to this mindless sheeps, that i'm **the Devil himself!** - MJF to CM Punk (Years later)
A grown man who cried on his last ring entrance in ROH but now says he doesn't miss the business at all since 2014. Good job Vince.

I was there when he beat Aries and it was the WILDEST moment I've been a part of at a live show.
Were people in the audience genuinely surprised when he turned 180 degrees? Also what a great moment to be a part of, brother.

Forever a ROH legend ❤️
EDIT: I'm freakin happy to see this legend back to professional wrestling.
Guy was well-beloved and big of a name before the like of WWE, UFC and AEW. Let's be honest, CM Punk is a wrestling legend on his own right.
The Summer of Punk storyline was amazing. WWE’s version of it in 2011 was impressive, but NOTHING beats the original.
I keep forgetting how long ago this was. Use to watch this every Saturday or Sunday on Fox 56 in my area in Kentucky
Punk showing up when Roh had a blizzard and he was a wwe employee to help out is really amazing
