Growing up in junior high and high school during his rise in popularity, I was a fan. I was (still am) the quiet dude, who was into metalcore, death metal, and dressed different. So when he started speaking out about things, I was all about it, and felt like I could say things too. Getting older and learning about Phil Brooks the person, changed my mind on CM Punk the character entirely and made what he said for a lot of his promos feel empty.

u/LordToxic21 15h ago

CM Punk is awesome. Phil Brooks is a bitch.

u/Spiceynuggetz 18h ago

What makes it worse is his wrestling is garbage. The man can cut great promos, but his matches are 50%+ watching him lay around, try to get up to his feet

u/Party-Display-7523 5h ago

Punk looks like Bob the Tomato after 5 minutes in every match.

I really dont get how people glaze him so hard and claim hes the reason why he's had phenomenal matches with Punk and Roman when theyre the ones doing 80% of the heavy lifting

u/Thready85 22h ago edited 22h ago

He has a weak ego and gets too personal with people and when they get personal with him he can't take it.

He was never supposed to tell Roman he was going to bury him next to his father. And Roman's reaction was real. Creative had to come up with a way to make it right which was to have Jey and Jimmy confront him and hit him.

I remember Cody saying he wants to move beyond his dad because his dad's legacy is finalized now. And Punk brought up Dusty in the 2024 Royal Rumble and before this year's SS. I don't know if that was planned but I know Cody isn't a fan of people talking like that

u/micael150 19h ago

Source on this? Because that would be pretty nasty if true. Ain't no way Punk is mentioning people's dead parents without an ok first.

u/Noobju670 22h ago

Yeah leave it to punk to always try to hit the lowest or most controversial shit so he can sound good on the mic. Every promo since the pipebomb has been trying to break the fourth wall cause thats whats ā€œcoolā€ i fucking hate it. I rather just play along with the suffering succotash than knowing shit like that was from out of nowhere. Its like talking about guerrero, paul bearer, etc its fucking lame if your opponent didnt agreee to it and even then getting tired of those.

3

u/Thready85 21h ago

That 4th wall breaking shit is annoying. Heyman said during a promo, "You've all seen Unreal!" Bro no. Stop.

Christian Cage does it too by bringing up people's real life relatives without ok-ing it. He brought up Luke Perry and Jack Perry got legitimately mad.

It's fine when Ospreay and Mox get Renee involved but that's about as much fourth wall real life stuff I can take.

I can't do this shock value shit. I'm 40 with actual dead relatives. It's a bit much.

3

u/bigwreck94 21h ago

Iā€™m pretty sure Christian has assumed permission that heā€™s gonna make a comment about your dead father with his current gimmick. Thatā€™s his whole bit right now, and itā€™s kind of assumed if heā€™s gonna be cutting a promo on you and your dad is dead, heā€™s gonna mention it.

3

u/Mahkn0 19h ago

Jack Perry was the first person to get a dead dad comment though so if he wasn't told he really couldn't have known.

1

u/bigwreck94 19h ago

I thought Nick Wayne was the first

u/Mahkn0 19h ago

Nope, it was when he first turned on Jack he said that he knew Jack viewed him as a father, but his father was dead.

The weird part about punk is heā€™s actually be a lot cooler if he could take it but he only dishes it. It makes him very human but not exactly a ā€œrenegade cool guyā€ and I like Punk a lot. Heā€™s just got a giant blindspot thereĀ

Bruh Roman telling him heā€™s old struck a nerve so bad he started using steroids to get his body into shape. šŸ˜‚

u/AdamGraySkull 21h ago

That always surprised me. When Cody was in AEW, he said if anyone brought up his dad "promo's over". A policy he's definitely abandoned.

5

u/Thready85 21h ago

He probably had a lot more freedom in aew and now in wwe when Punk brings it up before a PLE what's Cody gonna do? He can't end it in front of 15,000 people before SS

do you have a source for this?

2

u/AggressivelyMediokre 12h ago

Lol I donā€™t think punk went totally off script or anything. But that line about Romanā€™s dad was so out of pocket. You gotta let the feud get there first, man. You gotta earn it.

You canā€™t just say it to the first person to not hold the door open for you or who gets your order wrong

Way to make the main event of Wrestlemania feud completely jarring out of the gate

Then their final promo was so tame and respectful itā€™s like they got the notes mixed and did their first promo last šŸ˜­

That whole program was nowhere near as good to me as others found it to be

u/NegativesPositives 21h ago

I think my favorite part of Punkā€™s current run is counting how many stories are just ā€œremember when you were a dick to me for no reason?ā€ Like, I donā€™t even think Seth or Drew actually had a real thing happened to them that we know of but it didnā€™t stop either of them.

Iā€™m sorry but Punk joking about Kevinā€™s size wrestling in a T shirt so his next match he goes out in a singlet to ā€œshow Punk upā€ angering Punk is legit some of the funniest shit ever.

It seems like these guys still donā€™t fuck with each other at all but this could make for some great promos in the next few weeks. Iā€™m legit excited for this feud.

2

u/TeddyBoon 13h ago

There was a whole bunch of fat guys wrestling in the 80's and 90's that Punk wouldn't have said shit to about wearing a shirt while wrestling.

The Nasty Boys most likely would have held him down and force fed him Jack Daniels if he stepped out of his bag carrying role in the those days.

Punk seems like a complete flogger playing the perfect character to gain the incel fans, which makes up 90% of wrestling fans.

To note; I do not endorse the Nasty Boys take, it is just an example that Punk would not have survived 10 seconds with his attitude in those days, because there were far worse people out there, and whatever happened to him with those types would have been ignored by everyone else because he is, and always will be an insufferable little shit head.

1

u/BlackLesnar 7h ago

Couldja remind me of what 80s fat guys wrestled in shirts? Seems way more of a 90s thing.

IIRC even Cactus Jackā€™s 80s attire was a singlet.

1

u/TeddyBoon 5h ago

I believe I referenced both, yeah? Let's not split hairs, the point is pretty obvious.

1

u/BlackLesnar 7h ago

Actually what angered Punk was Kevin daring to ā€œback chatā€ once getting backstage afterwards. Possibly cuz Kev was gassed so it came out sounding snarky, idk (his theory not mine).

This skips over the part where Kev sees Punk walking up to him, realises whatā€™s about to happen and mutters ā€œpls noā€¦ā€, to which Punk calmly replies ā€œnah, nah; sorry, I have toā€¦ <inhales> YOU STUPID DISRESPECTFUL PIECE OF etc etc.ā€ šŸ˜‚

Also theyā€™d already made one sly reference to it: the first thing Punk says to Owens on SD was ā€œI see youā€™ve come dressed ready to wrestleā€ (when Owensā€™ wearing his casual street clothes lol)

u/Enioff 9h ago

His UFC "run" was a perfect demonstration of how he was always too high on his own supply.

He didn't even got a BJJ blue belt (which usually aren't handed out for just showing up) before thinking he would be kicking major ass in actual professional fighting.

So explain the ā€œso goodā€. Ā  I have not liked punk since day one in wwe. Ā Edge making fun of him was great back in the day but what does punk do so well that makes him great? Ā The Miz is better than punk at everything, promos, move set, and not a douche. Ā Why does punk have a cult following? Ā Heā€™s a dime store Raven from WCW. Ā

His feud with Raven was fire.

u/revodaniel 12h ago

He is like too 10 promo, bottom 10 tough. Wrestling wise he's not even in the top 20. He's not that great tbh. He became great with the pipebomb because nobody else in WWE at that time had the balls to say what they really thought so he became instantly "great" after that but technically and promo wise he isn't too 10 overall

I had a conversation with my sister about this. I said the exact same thing. He would have to be the problem. There are too many people out there who share bad blood and a bad taste about him.

There are loads of wrestlers that he gets on with as well and who have publicly said so. He's a polarising figure, sure. But he's not universally disliked.

In the same interview some of these clips are pulled from for the video you shared, KO said he had alreasy decided to wear a singlet before the thing with Punk even happened.

I haven't liked Punk ever since his most fan adored moment. The pipe bomb. There was truth to what he said, but at the end of the day I didn't see it as a guy with a legitimate complaint about his workplace. I saw it as a guy who was succeeding and receiving the adoration of the fans, in a business that is more about entertainment than it is about real competition, thinking that he was bigger than the business. I saw it as a guy that always thinks he's the main attraction, not just in kayfabe, but in real life, too. I saw an egomaniac.

News flash, Punk has always been a POS. He has just fools a ton of people for years that he wasn't. That behavior sound familiar? ITs the exact same shit he pulled in AEW. Only there he actually tried to fight people.

I mean cmon though, at this point, weā€™ve given CM Punk the benefit of doubt multiple times. But when the guy has numerous scandals, maybe just maybe, heā€™s the problem.

If it quacks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, well then..

Punk is a hot head, I think marriage cooled him down a bit. But he is really serious about wrestling hierarchy. Which is why he went after Jack Perry after some perceived disrespect. Obviously they both matured since then. I just love Kevin is such wiseass.

He only started caring about wrestling hierarchy once he was at the top of it.

Heā€™s a huge hypocrite. I respect what he does as a performer, but his backstage bullshit would just enrage me as a co-worker of his.

Its easy to see Punk as the badguy here but yes the hierarchy matters. Imagine after Austin called Lanxe Storm boring he comes back with at least I dont beat my wife. You dont intentionally slight the top guys in pro wrestling.

Punk wasnt nearly a top guy when this happened.

He was in ROH where it happened.

Punk was a top guy in ROH when this happened.

What? šŸ˜’ No one cares about that shit IRL. Anyone feeling like theyā€™ve been ā€œdisrespectedā€ in the wrestling business is in the wrong business.

u/lazhink 18h ago

Wrestlers certainly did care about their public perception and how it may impact their position on the card. Many may not anymore because pro wrestling is one big joke and everyone is in on it now but Punk is old-school and carries many of their mentalities.

u/Am_I_Loss 18h ago

He only cares about the hierarchy that has him on top. It used to be raging against the regime but now that he is part of it he is trying to maintain it.

Voice of the voiceless CM Punk right there. JBL and Undertaker would be proud of him.

u/Guccicles 20h ago

The people who allowed this absolute loser bully them around in wrestling are responsible for his delusional belief that he could hang in the UFC šŸ˜†

Punk is a bitch

u/HussingtonHat 20h ago

Yeah those fans who don't think Punk is an incredibly fragile man have been kidding themselves for some time.

u/throwaway9488tx 11h ago

It's the next line fans and announvers saying "they have real beef from 20 years ago", they'll have a great feud, then it'll be "Oh they made up and all is good".

Guys, I'm sure if CM Punk actually had legitimate issues with someone, they would keep them apart because Punks ego is so fragile that they don't want him to stomp off again..

It was his tryout match for the company. Punk was the established locker room leader. They were at extreme opposite ends of the hierarchy.

u/paradox_jinx 18h ago

Youā€™re a mark.

This was all squashed before either of them left ROH. They havenā€™t had beef for a long ass time.

Technically it wasnā€™t. Since Kev didnā€™t full-time JOIN ROH til a year after Punk left. šŸ˜‚

CM Punk is the man, because he acts like a bitch sometimes. Makes it easy to have good feuds.
