CM Punk On Reputation He's HARD to Work With! 

CMPunk shoots on why his interview is split up into about 500000 youtube clips

"Talk to Vince" 🤣🤣

A lot of people saying “this aged like milk” without even listening to what he said lol and you wonder what’s wrong with wrestling

“Triple H never got me” After building up NXT by filling it with guys who were definitely inspired by Punk to some degree, I’d like to think that HHH eventually came around to a CM Punk style wrestler. I’d be interested to see what an encounter between the two of them would be like these days.

His Michael Hayes impression is always so dead on 😂’talk to Vince!’

If he loses to Kane clean leading up to a fight with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania how would that make him a credible threat?

i remember watching punk vs bryan at a show in melbourne australia. daniel grabbed a mic and kept screaming "no, no" and then he put it to punks mouth asking is he stupid say no and punk sarcastly saying "yes" and the whole crowd loving it and they went back and forth and it was amazing.

Punk is back!!! #SurvivorSeries2023

You have to agree with Punk here. In kayfabe, why would four competitors want to compete just to fight a guy with a winning streak? Imagine if it was boxing: if you gave a boxer the chance to fight either the champion or some guy who has never lost in Kentucky, in Kentucky, he'd choose the champion. Now obviously outside of kayfabe it's a huge honour to face Taker, but they needed to build it so that Taker and Punk had a legitimate reason to want to fight each other. WWE wrestling is partly soap opera, so they should've just skipped the 4-way qualifier and went straight to Punk antagonising Taker, leading to a match. Pulling the great Paul Bearer into the story instantly gives Punk heat and Taker sympathy, so it would've been easy to lead with that and scrap all of the qualifying stuff.

“There’s this narrative that you’re a grumpy and unhappy person” Punk: Sits there grumpy and unhappily like he is 24/7

cm punk is right. if you think about it, it makes no sense to wrestle a match in order to determine who faces a guy who is undefeated at a ppv. what are the stakes? what's the story? wouldn't punk rather be in the main, wrestling for the championship?

He’s not difficult. He knows his abilities and his worth. If you have a guy who is out of touch and someone else who hates your presence in the company, you have to stick up for yourself. If you don’t stick up for yourself no one will. Punk isn’t some 6’6” 320 lb meathead. That’s all Vinny Mac understands.

"but who says that??" Kevin Owens for one apparently about a T-shirt

mickey gall said cm punk was easy to work with

I think after watching this, you realize why things have gone the way they have in AEW. He left WWE due to hypocrisy and politics. Now he went to a company where you have wrestlers as EVPs(recipe for disaster historically) and people not being straight up and playing games. I think that also he had felt pressured into having a match early with Jon Moxley(the squash match or Rocky/Clubber Lang fight 1 lol) and it brought him back to how wrestling made him miserable to begin with. Hopefully him and Kenny Omega can work things out for a future match but I wouldnt hold my breath for The Young Bucks as they definitely act like children and have no regard for the history of pro wrestling. At least Kenny, from interviews I have seen, seems more like level-headed guy that you could possibly sit and have a civilized conversation with. As much as people dont like the brand split, I think it gives time for both parties to think about it and realize the potential storyline and match series they could have. It also allows Punk the creative freedom without any politics for a while. I think Punk, more than anything, wants things to make sense and that can be very frustrating in the world we live in and the different personalities we have to deal with.

CM Punk realizing that he cannot entirely blame HHH and Vince. He also contributed to the mess.

The last good undertaker match

One of the most exciting WWE superstars of all time

I think having a fatal 4 way or triple threat is smart booking and a great way to decide who's the #1 contender or a tournament.

Vince is so fucking out of touch his idea of getting beat week to week is mind boggling how's that supposed to get people over.

You can totally see why he signed with AEW, he's gonna have creative control on his character. Punk will be smart about it, I don't think he's gonna say, "that doesn't work for me, brother"

Holy shit, what a weird coincidence that it has advertisements for All Out behind him 👀

I’ve never been a big fan of ending the streak….however….if you had Punk cheat to beat Taker in the MAIN EVENT of mania 29 to end the streak….you have one of the hottest heels in wrestling history for the next decade.

TAWK TUH VIYUNCE! 🤣🤣🤣 gets me every time

Cornette woulda been thinking the same thing punk. Cornette would have been booking punk to be a credible threat to the streak too

That has to be the longest question ever asked

I knew Punk was going to ask "who says that?" And that the guy wasn't going to have the balls to give him a real answer, instead of jokingly say "People on Twitter" he should been straight and say "HHH has said so, Ryback has said so" etc.

I enjoy watching this even more now that he has returned to wrestling. AEW.

The more things change

Paul bearer ashes was kitty litter Guy in the crowd says awwww

Dude became a star with no one behind him

i cant speak too much because im not in the spot, but the interviewer is giving punk choices to answer. instead of asking the main question and then following up based on punks response do you like pickles? you seem to always remove them from your sandwich but never ask for them off. do you dislike the taste it leaves behind? or is it that you dont like pickles because of the texture.

Watched

I am proud to admit that I am the disappointed fan at the 3 minute and 58 seconds mark of this video. :)

CM Punk 👑

“I would literally do stupid shit [in the ring] off the cuff” Probably one of the reasons why all your peers said you’re hard to work with.

"Talk to Vince" lmfao

Interesting that there's a graphic for last years All Out, and here we are a few days from this years, and he's wresting on it.

I hate these interviewers who use their 'question' to spout their opinion and go on and on and on

"Talkkk to Vinsch."

Thses guys still milking Cm punk video lmao

CM Punk shoots on his UFC career

He's wearing his wife's shirt

been like 7 years and we can’t replace punk

Every single person that ever worked in WWE has a Vince, Michael Hayes and Johnny Ace impression. Punk's is among the best ones I've heard especially the Michael Hayes one lol

3:03 🤣

Just say it like it is , Triple H was the one saying that punk was a pain in the ass just not to work with, but to do what he was told to. Like he said if you work for IBM and they tell you to do something and you don't do it ,you get fired. This interview and the one from Triple H gives two sides of the story on how this guy was to work with.

He shoulda said, “That doesn’t work for me, Brother.” when Vince wanted him to get beat quick and clean by Kane ahead of a WM match against Taker.

Get f-5d bam nightmare too feel that slam

he licked the "ashes"

Talk to Vince 🤪

why does this guy ask the question and provide the answer?

All the questions the interviewer asks ,over all these clips, take up 1/5th of the videos man...

Using clips from an interview a year ago

It takes what 10-15 seconds tops to ask a simple question, not a fully loaded question that takes a minute and a half… Jesus Christ lmao

You asked him 20 questions, as the first question. Like a nervous ramble.

We needed Cm punk in the attitude era

Booker T said alot

Undefeated undisputed UFC champion right there

I wonder who had the concussion. Vince of Punk! Making someone lose, week after week after week, before a big match, makes him look strong?! WTF?! Well on my planet that makes someone a loser. Because please help me out here and correct me if I am wrong. Wasn't Brock Lesnar the 1st choice to beat the streak because of his success in UFC and not because he was someone losing time and time again? No wonder people say Vince lost his touch for the product. Maybe the fact that he is in the business for so long is the problem and not what makes him have a better view on things.

CM Punk is the best wrestler in the world and should be shown the utmost respect. The reason why he’s “difficult to work with” is because every wrestler from legend to Indy to amateur are all inferior to him.

Well in context of the Kane story it was the show after Paul Bearer died so I kinda get and he stole the urn after interrupted a tribute to Paul Bearer so I see Vince’s pov

I just want to know if the time he called triple h back to the ring for the pipe bomb if it was real or not. Cz triple h seemed genuinely pissed

That question took 1:33 to ask. I understand you have to set it up or lay it out but get to the point

It wasn’t “used” cat litter 😂😂😂

Actually he spilled the cat liter on Undertaker not himself lol

The interviewer is talking more than punk wtf

He would’ve been much more over as a heel if he BEAT UNDERTAKER at 29.

CM punk shoots on shoots....

What are you talking about CM punk was easy just talk to the UFC guys

That interviewer is such a mark

This aged very well lol

3:01

Paul Heyman on RAW 2002 - "But you still did it....went against your father's promise to all the promoters in the united states that he will never turn on their backs only for his son to take them all out of business as the ruthless chairman of wwe...it was never wrestling for you was it...you wanted sports entertainment not wrestling...you wanted stars not wrestlers.That's how you captured wrestling to put your entertainment logo on it despite wrestling being the word preceding entertainment in your initials despite WrestleMania being the name of your best show" The forbidden wall is broken.....wrestling has come to life for the first time in 20 yrs since March 2001 for a rematch with the corporate sports entertainment.Mark Callaway can comeback out of retirement to save the product that's not bad because of his best friend's(vinnie) booking but coz of the young micromanaged talent with no creative control . Logan paul and other small celebrities can come on live shows to boost ratings and goldberg can win a few more championships until professional wrestling gets the 20 yr due redemption

Kevin Owens and various other wrestlers have mentioned how hard it is to work with him. Dudes a good performer and great character will be cool to see him in aew but there’s far too much evidence. Colt cabana, Corey graves story especially is very telling on how he treats people. What wwe did to him was messed up but it’s no secret he’s a diva. he earned his reputation

Coming from guys who will never work in wrestling lol hard to work with lol

Blame Vince McMahon for not allowing talent to be creative

“Best in the world” lol

A 5m33 video and 1m31 is Mike spouting his opinion and then lobbing a soft ball “question”. FFS

GUYS HE IS BACK ON AEW!!

This guy is the worst interviewer I've ever seen.

Lol Aew that’s all I gotta say

This interviewer talks to much

Punk…. It’s true

And this here is why WWE is currently crap. Vince thinks he still knows how things should be and books to how he feels... even though he's a much older bloke than he used to be. 1) Why would someone go into a fatal four way just to fight Taker? Surely start with a storyline and build on it? 2) Why DOES it make sense for the fighter to lose clean to Kane? Even if they get their heat back with a sneak attack, you have just shown us that this guy can't even beat Taker's brother - and Taker has beaten him at Mania twice already. The booking makes no sense! Also, Vince was all 'I know how this goes pal, doing this will make you an even bigger heel'. And did it? No. People wanted CM Punk to be 'their voice' against 'the man'. Not a crap baddie who looses to The Rock, Taker and Kane. And falling ratings across the board just prove how out of touch or not caring Vince really is. That said, he doesn't sleep and they say you go crazy in older age if you don't sleep. So 🤷‍♂️

I was there live when cm punk Dumped the cat litter all over himself

Interviewer is talking such rubbish. This isn't a generational thing, it's ever-present. Of course there's still backstage politics today and people fighting, arguing for their spot.

CM Punk, most wrestlers said he s a crybaby, that he was a hard worker, the pipe bomb, while it turned out good, it came from his crybaby frustrations. On his facebook page you can see him crying cursing and wishing Vince to die so wwe would be better. And I liked him, since he was in Ecw

Cm punk is old school similiar to the wrestlers from the 80,90s,but wwe just wants robots who do what they are told.

phil ... the reason you're hearing that cm punk was a bitch to work with..... is the opinions of podcasters out there that are giving this perception

CM punk find out how much easier is block people on Twitter then actually block punches in UFC

Ask anyone that used to be his friend or date him. A narcissist never thinks they're wrong, and play the victim when it doesn't work in their favor.

This aged like milk 😂

Someone that has a chip on his shoulder and thinks he is above others tends to have things said about him.... no matter how many tats he gets... it's never gonna make him a bad ass ..

It was cat litter?

you'll be the most over heel.... after WM goes away and then they bring him back as a face V Y2J xD only WWE

That wasn't an clean loss undertaker distracted cm punk leading to an win. ( kane won ) I can see vince logic. If cm punk loses than people would think he can beat the undertaker to get his payback. But he lost anyway. So I'm okay by it. But cm punk didn't lose clean. Distractions before ppvs have always been an thing. Especially in the attitude era.

I have personal experience with Punk years ago, as much as a fan I am, it makes me question how much he lies in this shit from my experience with him.

Cm Punk will one day return to the Ring, when he’s 65 because by than he would have finally let go of that grudge and because he will probably be not as famous by than

But he is "Home" guys
