CM punk is the most exciting wrestler. He doesn't need steroids to perform! AEW seems to be WWE drop outs or new boys but the amazing Saraya is an exception. CM Punk had the guts to call out Vince Mcmahan and made wrestling fun. Only Stone coldresembles cm punk. I LOVE how a wrestler doesn't need to be full of steroids, barely move at 45 or overdose :(. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan are the future. Someone tell steroids obsessed Vince that we don't care about fake bodies damaging bodies.

Something about the Hangman promo that doesn’t get talked about a lot is Tony Schiavone’s body language. There’s a point where you can tell he realizes Hangman is going off the agreed path because you can see him talking to the announcers table right after the “Worker’s rights” line. Then he has to go back to being next to Punk to talk to him like he was originally supposed to.

Also, of EVERYONE that was involved from beginning to end, Kenny Omega was the biggest victim of everything. His reputation is what helped start AEW, his name is what got them off the ground when he was champion, he was caught in the middle of defending his friends and defending the business, he was the one who tried to be the voice of reason, and he probably feels the worst because he probably feels like it couldn’t been prevented had he been more involved. I may not like all of Omega’s matches, and I may not like his on screen character all that much, but I came out of everything respecting him the most. I think he definitely was forced to play into all the BTE stuff against Punk after everything happened to keep appearances up, and was doing it for his friends, but I feel like there was a part of him that just wanted to move past it and look to the future.

The main difference is everyone else whether they liked Punk or not when they cut promos and were intense with each other, it was all stuff they were able to go over and they were able to work together. Even Eddie Kingston who says he doesn't like the guy personally, was able to put that aside and they were both able to work together to sell tickets and make money together. Because that's what wrestlers do, regardless of how they feel about one another personally. It wasn't till one of the Elite aka Kliq 2.0 feuded with Punk in Hangman Paige, that decided to go into business for himself AS CHAMPION... that screwed everything up. People like to quote Moxley's promo or Kingston's promo and go "See!? Look at them own Punk here!!" but they don't understand, all that was done with the knowledge of the other, all of it was constructed with one another. Whether it was ideas liked/disliked or what not, they were okayed. There's a trust there. When you go into business for yourself for a promo it's considered unprofessional, and THE GUY of your upstart company doing that is an issue. John Cena often talks about when he went into business for himself in his feud with The Rock, where he went off-script to take a jab at the Rock they didn't okay, and he did it because he felt he needed to in order to be on the same level as The Rock because he felt like hw still appeared miniscule in comparison rather than the best of his generation vs the best all-time in The Rock. But that They stayed professional after, and right after Wrestlemania, Cena apologized to The Rock's mother, and apologized to The Rock backstage and they squashed it and are now closer. But he looks back on it as a mistake and that he was wrong for it. That is the difference between people like The Elite and most other wrestlers. They don't apologize because they know they don't have to, and because Tony isn't going to do anything about it. Cena as THE GUY in the company knowing he had pull and Vince probably wasn't going to do anything to him, STILL went to both The Rock's family and himself to apologize and work things out after going into business for himself. This is something Paige couldn't do, this is something The Elite and their flunkies can't do. And that is why CM Punk is no longer there. They can take pot shots in the ring, and can make petty little references on live TV, but when it comes time to actually try to talk with the guy, they gotta put a time limit on it, or avoid it. And because Tony doesn't have the stones to say "No, you hash this out NOW, none of this petty BS." they get away with it. That's what separates other wrestlers from the likes of The Elite when it comes to attitude/temperament and entitlement. It's why the biggest draw of their company is now back in WWE now, and why AEW's 2nd biggest star vs their biggest star for the title couldn't even fill half an arena. The sad reality is, if Danielson or Adam Cole had been put over Hangman Paige and was the one to feud with Punk. He'd still be in AEW and none of this would have happened. Marinate on that.

I think the Eddie Kingston part is the most poignant. You had a bunch of guys who can’t draw a dime outside of the indies who view themselves as big “stars”. They have a higher opinion of themselves than any of the fans do. You finally get a billionaire who’s willing to start a company that you think you’re going to be the “star” of. Only to have him bring in a bigger star than you. This guy gets more attention then you, is a bigger star then you, sales more pay per views and creates more ratings then you do, and generates alot more interest in your product then you ever will. Instead of taking the challenge of saying “you know what, this guy is going to bring in a lot of eye balls. This is a good chance to show some of those new eye balls what I can do, and create some new fans from this extra attention”. Instead they get jealous and act petty. It’s the reason why a guy like LA knight is a huge star, and the young bucks, Eddie kingstons, and Hangman Pages of the world never will be. Instead of looking at every piece of adversity as a challenge, and taking it as an opportunity to prove to everyone else that you are what you believe you are. A star. You blame everyone else and make excuses. Look, I know punk is probably an asshole. Not a lot of people can handle brutal honesty. The truth is a blow to their ego. But no one can dispute that punk is a huge star. He left wrestling for years, shoot he left the WWE for almost 10 years. But people still chanted his name, and when he came back it was immediately a huge boom to business. Love him or hate him, Phil brooks is the real deal. And he lives rent free in the “elites” head all day long

For me its weird that they started his first proper storyline as him being the villain behind the scenes, it creates intriguing stories sure but it also lingers in the mind. Doesn't help that in almost every feud they're saying he's the villain when Aew feels like the perfect place for him. Now that he's wwe, he can perfectly play the role of a heel in the form of the babyface, he can play the hypocrite and it will be perfect if all things go good.

Unreal how these cats at AEW gave Punk a "second chance" in the business only to ultimately give him the real second chance with WWE we never thought we'd see. Bang up job, boys, bang up job...

this whole situation just disappointed me so much, im 30 years old ive watched wrestling since i was 3 years old, Around 2007-2008 i started watching again after a few years away and saw someone covered in tattoos and lip piercings who came out to killswitch engage AND kicked ass in the ring and seemed like an outsider, and for a chubby metal head in 7th grade it was great to see “an outsider” being given the spotlight then he started the whole voice of the voiceless thing which was awesome to see, i knew his story was all a work but i could tell the dude was being genuine with what he said and how he felt. When he walked away i was bummed but i also knew that he left because he was miserable and hurting. Fast forward to 2021 Im married, ive got kids and my wife and I started watching AEW from the very first press conference in ‘19 as a bonding thing she didnt ever watch wrestling and knew i was starting to dable in watching again and i had to explain who punk was and what the drama was about, i hyped MYSELF up about it thinking how awesome it is that STILL hes a megastar getting his name chanted without ever saying a word or showing up at all. I was so excited to see the return and the rise of a megastar for this new company that i liked more than WWE, and It just went down the drain. Im still a Punk fan, i’ll probably watch wwe here and there to see what he does and who he does it with, but EVERYONE in this situation dropped the ball. TK couldve made so much money if he acted like an owner and put the brakes on talent start shit with other talent. Now all of that money is going to be made for the OTHER company, AEW already dropped ratings FAST, dropped attendance FAST, now they lost their biggest star FAST, WWE is on a roll, everything is about to get alot more interesting.

Good, bad, or indifferent; CM Punk is a draw, one of the most talked about wrestler ever, and brings the best out of the people he interacts with

Im a big CM Punk guy. My only thing is that Tony was a big fan as well and im so surprised to see where they are now... So i know punk is far from innocent. Hopefully he will keep his head down, give a solid final run, and pick and choose his battles more wisely

CM Punk was a hero of mine growing up! The pipe bomb promo and promos after that affected me as a person in ways people would never understand! I was a young 17 year old kid that didn't have much going for him after hearing him speak i looked up to him in many ways. The first one being never let anyone under value or unappreciate you! If you're giving everything you have into something and you feel that your hard work is not getting recognised or appreciated speak up about it and don't let anyone walk over you nor use or abuse you. The truth is always right ladies and gentlemen. CM Punk is not only a draw. He's also an inspiration to many people and not just in the wrestling industry

The best fan made documentary I’ve seen in years. Bravo sir.

After watching this, Cm punk wanted to be fired. It was his only escape from the elite.

His feud with Kingston was probably my favorite during his aew run honestly. Underrated and overshadowed by the MJF feud. But damn, Kingston really spit fire during those promos

The real glass incident w/ Jack Perry was just stupid. So easily avoidable. I will never understand the masochistic impulse of some entertainers to not take proper safety precautions. Professional wrestling is literally meant to blur the lines between reality and fiction. What's so hard to understand about that?

CM Punk is such a king on the mic. Like dude goes in there with anybody and wins like fuckin Eminem in 8 Mile.

Thx for all your hard work on everything! I love compilations like these so much

So basically Punk wanted to come back to wrestling and have fun and make money, and he ran into an 85% less talented Kliq.

1:38:40 its so crazy how smooth it is to listen to CM Punk. Then when these guys talk after him, charisma goes out the window. I wonder if he notices it.

I wish it had gone better, there were so many talents there that could have done with a rub from Punk. It could have turned into a place like what Punk described ROH as, 'a place where people could come work, get paid, learn their craft and love professional wrestling'. He shouldn't have got into the brawl or did what he did at the scrum but they knew what they were getting, they knew his history and that he didn't suffer fools but the elite still chose to poke that bear. I put a fair bit of the blame on Tony too, he could have absolutely done more to stop it but not only that, put measures in place to ensure his company was better run, but he didn't and now he's paying the price for it. He actually enabled something to happen that we never thought would.

​@@vampirascoffin870 the whole Jack Perry/Wembley situation was set up imo. Bucks cancel meeting last second, AEW gives punk a non-working number for getting a ride to wimbly(Bucks guy did it, laughed about it on Twitter then deleted everything when it got pointed at), and being asked to get involved with Jack Perry in the first place. He didn't talk to Jack about the windshield out of his own wanting too. Production asked because Jack wouldn't listen to them. So yeah, imo, Wembley was obviously a set up to piss punk off so Tony could have the "Feared for his life" line

@@vampirascoffin870 who knows, we know for sure The Bucks wanted him gone. So much so that they did a friggen victory lap around the ring the night he was fired. It's like you idiots, you're basically admitting that what Tony tried to deny was true. You did leak against Punk to the sheets, and you did make things so difficult for him in AEW that he ultimately got fired. It makes one wonder, just how many other exits did they have something to do with? Cody's for instance. We'll probably never know. What's funny though, is the stupid idiots have backed themselves in a corner now. What reputable promotion would take them on after the trouble they've caused? So really it's AEW or back to the indies. Brawl Out to me, was a key chance to change things. Strip The Elite of their EVP status, hire a booker and head of talent relations to restore order, preferably convince JR to do it, and put a system in place to ensure this never happens again. Ideally one where there's a locker room leader. But they didn't. Instead Tony had his biggest star cow-tow to The Elite's demands, and we saw what happened.

@@Roric_The_Red I think we can say for certain The Elite conspired to get him fired. What's not known is whether or not Tony & the higher up's did as well. If they did, them putting so many legal barriers in place to stop people finding out would make sense. Your theory is credible. And if it's true, that makes Tony just as bad as The Elite and probably confirms why he never stripped them of their EVP status, he wanted them there all along (well he probably did regardless). It probably also all but confirms that they used Punk to get ratings and ticket sales for Wembley to the level they needed, and soon as they didn't need him, see ya. If that is true, then Tony is not only the indie mark everyone says he is, but also just as spiteful and vindictive as The Elite. He didn't want the change everyone was calling for, because this is what he's wanted AEW to be all along. It's stupid though, they paid him millions of dollars to stay home only to then fire him. I guess Tony really does want to be the new WCW, because he's going down the exact same path they did.

19:36 I’m so pissed we never got the alliance between the two that began with CM Punk saying “I’m so proud of you” 😢 But happy to see him back where he needs to be

CM Punk was hyping Adam Page as a great wrestler in their promo whereas Adam Page went off without any reason. For me Adam Page is the reason AEW missed out on CM Punk and now his run in WWE is going to be legendary.

Hell yeah! Good timing, I just watched your other 2 docs earlier today lol. Great editing and well put-together 👏

Punk had some good fueds with MJF, Hangman, Moxley, Dustin, Kingston, Samoa Joe, Darby Allen, Starks, Wardlow, Switch Blade, Hobbs and he won the main title twice.

This is gold thanks Champ. I watched this months ago finally got something to watch after work.

Thank you for taking your time to make such a wonderful piece of art. I unfortunately don’t have the time to watch these events so I always have to catch up with the clips AEW and WWE post afterwards but never get a clear understanding of what’s going on but things like this really make it so entertaining for me. Knowing how tedious and time consuming it must have been not only to find all these clips, order/organize them, and edit it all into this masterpiece, we appreciate your work immensely!

I havent had a way of watching AEW and always have just watched the highlights to keep up with them. I have to give so much props to this documentary, its very well done and i got to watch these pivotal matches and promos. This really told the whole story about his time in AEW. Great documentary ! I watched it all in one sitting !

Great video and content, really clearly shows the journey and all the difficulties faced by punk as well as the obstacles and petulance he had to deal with.

This was an excellent documentary you put together. Excellent work. Please do some more if you would I’m sure we’ll all time in.

Thank you for putting this together and for taking a chance on not including voiceover narration. Great work!!

I always sit through these docs. You're freaking great! Thanks for another amazing doc.

I sincerely love this documentary!! The only suggestion i would make is to shorten a couple of the blackout/chapter sequences as some are noticeably literally seconds too long but that aside the 2+ hours watching it was a pleasure as, you're clearly very talented & have a bright future ahead of you.

@dropmickwrestling

6 ай бұрын

This is intentional! I appreciate the feedback! They’re intervals of 3, 5 or 8 seconds. Some blackouts are intentionally longer to section the video better. For example, after the MJF feud I put an 8 second blackout to symbolise the ending of that sequence and the start of the new one. So it isn’t continuous on purpose. It’s meant to be in blocks. Hope that explanation makes sense!

Thank you for making so many excellent videos like this! I feel like I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a channel..👍👍

Very passionate dialogue between Punk and Kingston.

Love the guy or hate him, wrestling is more entertaining with CM Punk involved.

I think he arrived humble and ready to make things better. I think he was bullied by envious folks within the business. Time will tell. I for one think he adds value and money to the industry regardless of brand.

Schiavone's face when he realized Hangman went off script and into business for himself...

You guys are fantastic!! Seriously!! Keep up the good work!!!

Best thing to do was to combine the two parts. Awesome. Did you ever think to insert some scenes you originally wanted to insert in the previous parts but didn’t get time to in this version?

oh this one is gonna do NUMBERS!!!!! great watch as usual and great timing haha

thanks for this! as someone who followed cm punk while in aew but didn't' watch weekly this doc really showed how great of a run he had there despite all of the drama. wish it could have ended differently but everything happens for a reason i guess.
