CM Punk on John Cena Rivalry & Chicago Money In The Bank Match! 

Nobody praises Cena's ring work until he loses. Everybody hates Cena but suddenly he loses to guys like Punk, Owens and Styles and everybody is like "Cena is a great worker. He knows how to put guys over. He gave a great match. He's a really good wrestler."

@@DanielOrteez because they think it’s real

@@dftmmwgitd ikr bunch of virgins

And the most grateful one too. Remember his interview on Howard Stern? Howard asked him if he had any problems with sharing his hollywood money with wwe and he responded, "NOT AT ALL" cuz wwe gave him the opportunity when he was a nobody.

Big match John

And it was stupid that Cena won

Facts

When cm punk hit the pile driver I thought it was over

I would say money in the bank 2011 was their best

was that the same match when Cena did that hurracarrana like manuver on Punk?

@@treydelaney4870 calm down dude he's not that bad a guy

@@kshitij99951 fuck John cena the character not the man. Get it now?

@Tiger I knw that guy can say sometimes bad things to pple time to time but eventually he would turn out to be quite. Nice fellow

@Tiger Only guys who don’t like him are jobbers that got fired. I’m sure he was douchey occasionally but I don’t think he’s a bad dude at all

Even personally Punk didnt hate Cena. He got and understood what Cena was about which most people who are former wwe wrestlers who have done a program with Cena dont. They just see him as.some one protecting his spot. But this feud clearly shows Cena will go outta his way if your good enough

That's a good take

@@kevin084life Thanks bro ✌️

Yes john cena 'character is captian america

@@PinoyBio I’ve always thought that Tony Stark and CM Punk are very similar in a lot of ways

😄👍

Bullshit, fuck Cena their feud was fucking one sided

@@TrideepNagg it was one sided on Punks part. He beat Cena at MITB, Summerslam 2011, Summerslam 2012, Night of champions 2012, Survivor series 2012. Cena only won the match on RAW for number one contender against the Rock.

@@Iron-Black-Sabbath-Maiden but why did Punk never elevate his character to the next level

@@TrideepNagg it’s called ego Cena couldn’t handle losses He buried the entire nexus

@@Iron-Black-Sabbath-Maiden actually to be fair Vince and Triple H had Cena lose to punk as punishment for doing movies instead of carrying the company

That's steve Jobs qoute

But yeah love punk

I had to look that one up to see who said it. Although CM's a smart guy, but that sounds too wise a saying for him to first come up with it. It's unknown who said this first, but it was first said long before Punk was borned.

Yeah that quote didn’t age well

@@ActionJacksonForever Because some unknown job guy who’s only in the position he’s in with that company because he’s friends with the EVPs did a shoot promo on Punk on live tv bc he was salty that the bigger star was taking the belt off him? K.

Sadly no, but they had 2 Summer-slam matches that were pretty Wrestlemania quality from 2011- 2012

True. I always said that Cena had just okay matches at Wrestlemania but never really stole the show there (except MAYBE 23 but I thought Taker Batista was better). Cena Punk would’ve been a great Wrestlemania main event match

Well, when you're the reason why the ratings started going down, you don't really deserve to main event wrestlemania with the top star.

@@MoMo-lr8hg really? So Miz deserved to main event WM 27 with Cena over CM Punk?

@@MoMo-lr8hg cena was not the reason ratings dropped cena was the reason most wwe viewers watched but wwe views went down when they changed to PG because the people didn’t like the content

Punk vs Cena was a reminder of stone cold vs rock as far as the greatest company rivalries ever.

5 star... and it’s not the only Cena v Punk match to earn 5 stars.. 20 and 30 years from now, those will be remembered as fondly as Hogan v. Macho Man.

Lol

@@mellykruger9495 Punk vs Cena was the closest thing to Austin vs Hogan match IMO

@@4zafinc And I guess thats what we can be thankful for. Because honestly that is a damn good comparison.

Punk had legit anger toward Vince because Vince is a control freak and loves to fire people. It's why he never reconciled with Vince even after Vince publicly said he'd be open to working with Punk. It's also why Punk signed with AEW instead of WWE

@@Texan45 Well, seeing how WWE is hard pushing Roman even tho leukemia was the main reason people sympathized with him, I’d bet Punk would have been used for that. It took them so long to get it right with a guy as great as Bobbly Lashley.

@@Texan45 nah that’s not correct. Firstly there was a lot more to it than just Vince releasing wrestlers. Secondly, it’s been publicly stated that WWE (Triple H more specifically) did not want to sign Punk so he didn’t choose anyone over the other, just that AEW was the biggest company available and offering the most money.

@@Texan45 Thats the thing with Vince McMahon; its less to do with "Vince McMahon control freak who loves to fire people" and more to do with the circumstances of what is WWE now. For example back then during the 1990s, it was just Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson as the scriptwriters, the company gave more flexibility to WWE Wrestlers having creative freedom. As the company developed and went global, it wasn't just Vince running the executive end of the company; you had also guys like john laurinaitis or other executives taking part in the creative development of the company. Vince and the McMahon's weren't the only ones suddenly making decisions; as Vince also had to answer to a bunch of shareholders on the border of directors as a result of WWE going public. And WWE had to evolve and change overtime; WWE specifically went PG as a result of Chris Benoit's murder suicide and the backlash that came as a result to WWE, and as well; to help establish some credibility to WWE as Linda McMahon wanted to branch out and be involved in Politics; so the obvious associations of sex and violence had to be fazed out in WWE. WWE also wanted to be involved in brand deals with Hazbro and various other companies; of which wouldn't do business with a WWE until they rebranded their image.

Well, it was the ultimate moment because it was the ultimate blurred lines between what was real and what was fake because most of it was real, especially on CM punks side and Vince McMahon’s side and basically no one knew the outcome of the match except for a select few people. There will never be a storyline like that again they captivate the audience like it did. Also having John Cena the guy that kids want to grow up to be in CM punk the guy that teenagers want to grow up to be against each other where there was no true face or heel was what made the rivalry so great. The fact that he left through the crowd with the iconic moment with the title will forever cement in history.

It is true it is damn true

I really, truly wish more people thought that way. We would be a much happier and healthier society.

Wow, such a profound statement.

@@markforbus6794 It tends to seem profound in a country where we treat each other like stepping stones to get where we want to be.

I still don’t fully understand this quote .

Because that’s his wife

@@Itsnoahscott Well duh

@@Itsnoahscott DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Naturally, the guy is living off her pay checks these days lol

@@MorrisseyMuse I doubt it, he spends his money wisely and still makes money off of speaking at cons.

He actually isn't He said he perceived him to have a limited Moveset and stuff but when he worked with him he realized how good he was

John cena is safest wrestler to work with

They’re friends after all

I never understood why Cena used so few moves, since he's an excellent performer who could execute them all very well. In 2005/2006 he was frustrating to watch, but then he got better

The Cena vs Styles at a Royal Rumble proved that the former has a lot of moves up his sleeve. It's just that the higher ups didn't want to.

Edge as well

Cena never had a bad match with Punk. I’m not a cena hater but punk was the far better pure in ring talent.

@@kgot7436 Absolutely! Cena was thankful he didnt have to call the spots. Punks logic, and wrestling ability made for match of the year quality bouts!

except when he botched the AA counter to crash on his ass and the piledriver botch when cena almost died

@@apetogetherstrong4243 shit happens.

Their matches were boring as fuck. At least Cena knows how to cut a god damn promo without having to break the fourth wall. You people are sick in the head.

How old are you?

@@momyour69 is that a condescending question because you think video games are only for children? I can simply point to your username if you want to try to call people out for being immature. How old are you?

@@Zook85 hear from cenation generation aren't you?

It means nothing because Meltzer opinions means nothing. You waste of oxygen.

Nicely put

It becomes not a fact when you say it’s because they were genuine friends. Because that isn’t how it works. Sure they may have been chill with each other, but to say them being genuine friends is the only reason is just wrong. You think Vince allowed him to hold it for 434 days because of just one match? No.

Fuck John cena. He’s a horrible character and wrestler

@@xgormo9805 true . punk also got himself over with his pipebomb promo. so wwe HAD to do something with him cause the people wanted to see more of him.

@@treydelaney4870 Well the Character is worth almost $100 mil , I'd say its definitely not horrible eh !!

That's sadly won't happen for a long time

@@bobbyfitts5396 I feel that Broski.

According to punk. After a 60 day suspension. They fed exed him his paperwork saying he was fired. On his wedding day. Then took it out on AJ. So no I don't think he would go back. At least not as long as Vince still runs things. And now it looks like Trip won't be running it when that day comes. Seems nick Kahn will.

Welp, not WWE, but

@@Fro00ot0 but... better lol. The pop, the open arms welcome by the fans.. this move by Punk was genious. I am now glad hes in AEW, light a fire under WWEs ass. Much needed.

John vs Edge too.

didnt mention john vs edge is a disgrace

Fuck Orton vs Cena, they had more terrible matches rather than good ones

@@amedeopetrella5616 nah not tru bro

smh

*competed Just letting ya know

Cena was always the guy punk wanted it but Vince and hhh wasn't having it

Rock and Cena shouldn’t have even happened again. Should’ve been Rock vs Punk or even a triple threat IMO.

That was the rock returning the favor and passing the torch so yeah it needed to happen

@@OutlawTorn33 yes it kind of did but it didn’t need the championship

@@OutlawTorn33 not really, Cena did not need that win. What torch? Rock had been gone for years and Cena had been THE GUY for years. There was no “passing of the torch”. Cena just had to get his win back, there was no reason for this match, no one wanted to see it, it ruins the whole “Once in a Lifetime” things from Mania 28, and it contributed to Punk leaving. Plus it was dogshit

@@AK47Gang100 so Rock should have beaten Cena twice? Ok...

I think u mean vince triple h had and still has no say in main roster creative decisions

@Daddy longstroke4201 Stroke yeah that's why I don't blame him for the Nexus, because when you're wade Barrett and you need six or seven other guys to get you over, that's a recipe for disaster. And then you have guys like edge and Chris Jericho complaining about it which means they cared about their spot too much.

They invested everything in cena and forgot about the rest of the roster

Yeah for once yes

@@trewilliams8411 “For once” another smark who’s brainwashed

@@trewilliams8411 Nah tons of people have had nice things to say about Cena. Don’t be a dumb mark now.

@@PhotonSieve no I’ve herd thousands of people shit on Cena saying he is the worst thing that he is a cancer to WWE and stuff come on now

@UCXCElPvi0r4NPHdZBhUWdvA god, bro shut

Cena IMO had a few edge, cm punk, aj and the miz funny enough

Lol big cm punk fan but he really is up his own ass a lot of the time

No seriously, I like Punk. He’s one of the few guys still competing who understands real pro wrestling and hasn’t been sucked into this gymnastics competition bullshit, or any other of the bastardizations that most of modern wrestling has become. But like everyone else who has reached his place in the business, he has an ego, and of course he likes to take credit. It was a disingenuous comment, but I don’t believe he’s a disingenuous guy at all. He just had a moment here and I was making light of it.

CM Punk = views

Lmao that small detail
