Jim Cornette Reviews CM Punk's AEW Debut In Chicago On Rampage 

THE ELITE THE THE ELITE

😂 And the person who was responsible for all this, the ultimate draw, Colt Cabana is still not on TV.

Ahhh hindsight

This comment is the second biggest surprise this weekend! 1. Punk 2. This comment 3. Lesnar 4. Becky

I'm sure it was all Punk's idea

@@kinzi2012 I can't wait for his review of Becky returning......and then the typical shitty WWE booking decision to bury Bianca

Im not surprised. Corny loves Punk

@@kujo62 well yeh THSTS how aew works

I can’t believe it. Lol corny had something nice to say

I was thoroughly shocked he said that. LOL

He had me at first. I thought he didn’t like it then once he said "it was perfect" I popped too.

@@nickw7235 If anyone can appreciate a properly done debut/promo is Corny, and i dont think i need to say anything about a CM Punk promo, you hear that name and promo you know its making money.

Hell most be frozen solid

For the first time in prolly 15 years (since ovw) cornette saw a glimpse of wrestling again

You don't actually listen to his stuff.

This return was so purely special it transcends storylines and companies.

@@Ryan2142 right. He gives credit to them when they do something right, or at least what he thought was right.

He is praising Punk not AEW. All AEW did was hand him a wad of cash and the microphone. Now it is up to AEW to not screw it up. Punk won't put up with bullshit and I would imagine Punk has some kind of creative clause in his contract to be able to say no to doing things he does not want to do.

That is an excellent point, it makes me wonder if it was on purpose

Maybe I needed to watch it live. I saw the RU-vid clips and it felt cheap when the crowd volume seemed to go down, before the commercial, but were loud again when they came back

It sure was smart because I was texting my brothers my friends To stop everything they was doing and tune in And experience this once’s in a life time moment.

@@jamesedwards8387 It was smart but it was also needed. I'm sure Punk AND the fans needed that moment to breathe just a little bit. I'm sure Punk was grateful for it.

That's the smartest move of all time..

It was absolutely mental and maybe the biggest pop ever in wrestling history. You can argue that Stone Cold had some bigger pops or even the Rock returning. But the crowd went mental and they made the right decision to put him out first or else every match would have been hijacked by CM Punk chants till he came out!

@@chrisyanover1777 lmao. Go google bulldog pinning bret at wembley stadium in london. That's the biggest pop not only in wrestling..its the biggest singular pop in stadium/arena history.

@ShadowAngel lol yeh I told him to google bulldog pinning Bret in 92. That's the biggest pop ever

@ShadowAngel: Dolph Ziggler cashing in money in the bank..u forgot that one... But punks pop was top 5 ever in wrestling, when they stopped the music that shit was defeaning, so stop hating ok...

@@zafmo9829: shit was crazzzzzy bro....

Vicki Guerrero, not a face pop but a very well helmed heel pop.

💯🤣

It is the only thing he’s good at

@@p4t21ck Uh oh - someone's jealous

There is only one in ring return that can make a bigger pop. Stone Cole Steve Austin in Austin Texas. Thats it.

As popular as Punk is it shows how there's a lack of true superstars in wrestling today. It's a niche product for a niche audience now.

Y’all still gonna complain. Pathetic.

@@GQFJB it's not complaining. I enjoyed it too. Its just a fact. Don't cry coz someone disagrees with you.

@@wce05308 the smart fans have something to do with this as well. Always cheering for smaller guys and pure in ring over the other important elements like mic work, storytelling and looking larger than life that actually draws in more fans.

@@davyjones2032 correct. That is why wrestling is dead in the mainstream. No larger than life characters to draw in casual fans.

Cause thats all he wants. He just wants it to be done right

Thats all anyone wants.

Funny thing is it was a promo not a match

On one of the episodes Jim was talking about people not getting along with Bill Watts. Jim simply said Bill Watts wanted perfection and as long as you were perfect, Bill loved you. Jim later parlayed that into a discussion about how he tried to be perfect in all that he did. Jim, and most wrestling fans, hate it when crap is done to fill segments or storylines are left hanging because "nobody cares anyway". This segment was nearly perfect and it gets Jim's approval

When wrestle is done right Cornette is always a fan.

Thought I was the only one who caught that ☄️🍆

😅

You know you think it's gone... but sometimes it comes back on ya man.

@@DemonTom it really do be like that sometimes

😂😂😂😂

No, he loves wrestling before 1994....

@@ZDiddy7777 No, he loves real wrestling. Wrestling that doesn't feel completely fake.

@@ZDiddy7777 You should listen to him

@@ZDiddy7777 he loves Cesaro, MJF, and FTR - all of which are modern talents. He just doesn't like the stuff that's extremely choreographed and obviously fake looking, which I can agree with

Not to mention Jay Lethal, The Briscoe Brothers, Danhausen, ect..

Thats what got me the most. He had COMMAND of the crowd, something noone has in WWE. Jericho has it to an extent, but not like what Punk did in that promo.

@@BlueTurretGaming because he gets pro wrestling…Most of the guys in the wwe are nerds that want to do moves on each other and not get over as themselves by working the crowd like a wrestler

I agree. The way he commanded the crowd like he had them in the palm of his hands similar to how The Rock and Austin commands the crowd and have the crowd in the palm of their hands. That’s a next level type of specialness

He also hasn't been in wrestling in like 7 years. They would be stupid to not be quiet. Of course they want to hear what he had to say

He had that crowd on the palm of his hand, I'm so glad CM Punk is back

One of the many reasons Undertaker was so over too. Even in his prime in the 90s, he'd be gone for weeks/months at a time. Then every time he came back, it would be a massive pop.

But is this worth calling a cliche? This is so true! So many stars in WWE got hype squashed when they just chose to work all dates, get shoehorned into random tag scenarios, random feuds and just wouldnt go away in last decade. Charlotte literally only went away to get her tits done and Becky to have a kid. Guys barely ever go away through injury or otherwise. Lashley came back, went away and then came back and got built into a monster. It's so important to NOT be on the screen when you have no momentum. It builds anticipation for big return

@@MadMike1 This. So much this. Taker was fantastic at it. Got taken out by Edge, get hip fixed and then did the whole return angle for Summerslam. Not to mention weekly vignettes to prep return for Mark Henry.

@@MadMike1 In fact it was at that same venue around this time of year that Taker made his big comeback. (Summerslam 94)

Absolutely 💯!!!!!

Interesting this was the opening line as I read your comment before I clicked this video.

Even better, Corny said it was alot better than what he would've done.

Punk is over in so many realms of wrestling fans from teens to people that are as old as Jim it’s insane

"Not how I would have done it..... it was better." Sidenote: I don't know why I thought he wouldn't like it as much.

@@eiephants honestly the only thing I could see him disliking from all of that was that tag team match that came on after that

I thought they just played intro then stopped lol. Crowd was crazy!

It's really brilliant that he talked about his time in Ring Of Honor, so Wholesome.

He said he was never going to come back to wrestling. he sold out and showed he is just like all of the others.

@@based9930 he said that because of wwe, he kept his words and never went back to wwe

@@williamsahalan.m.4520 Meltzer said last year he tried to reach out to Vince McMahon for a return but Vince Big Timed him. Not sure if I believe that story, though.

#johnnyx100 🔥👈💯🔥🔥👈💯👈🔥👈💯

You never watched wrestling pre 99 huh?

That's sad

We built different 🤘😇

Then after the promo the show was typical awful AEW "wrestling"

Imagine what’s going to happen at ALL OUT

All Out is gonna be fucking bonkers. p

"sell out" Lol you can find posts on twitter of some tickets being $3 and a couple hours later you can get them for free. Nice try dub shill.

It's cm punk's hometown ofcourse it's gonna sell out.

And the United Center was Punk’s idea. Brilliant.

You ever see Hogan on Raw in Montreal after WrestleMania 18?

@@mikeabel7577 yeah man but those fans were misguided lol

Austin's pop helping Foley win the belt is still better. More organic. Not knocking Punk's pop, but it was kind of expected in a way.

@@footguy215 yes, thats a good example to put against Friday night, I guess its more like, the pop from Friday was the best in a generation, probably should have said it that way.

@@metallicbigtoe3949 I agree with that. Definitely the best of this era.

Considering what happened recently, he needed this to get him back going.

@@firemarshal2629 it’s hard to enjoy wrestling today so I can’t blame him

I fell the same way

I had to stop watching AEW because of several things but Punk brought me back.

Jim praises good Wrestling. The problem is that there isn't much good Wrestling in today's product.

Then you're not one of Jim's listeners, welcome to the audience

@@InvisibleHotdog That's what I've been thinking. Didn't he once refer to ref Aubrey as ''Girl' Hebner? as a compliment? Didn't he once say MJF was scary good for his age or something along those lines? Didnt he once fawn over Jurassic express?

@@InvisibleHotdog I am a listener, I did not expect to hear "it was perfect" come out of his mouth, regarding anything about AEW.

@@InvisibleHotdog but i also agree...it was fucking perfect.

Side note but anyone who hasnt ever been in the United Center should go. Its one of the best Stadiums in my opinion.

@@justanothertrucker7856 truly is

@GordoScarface Lol, partly agree. Chicago is beautiful, some awesome history and lot's to do there. It's the politics and a small percentage of the people that make it a "shithole".

Yup 💯

@@JohannesWOW That’s “I’ll Be Back”

100% correct could you imagine cole or any of them talking the whole time? Even worst the camera cuts from Kevin

Yessss totally loved that too. Michael Cole would’ve been “It’s clobbering timeeeeeeeeeeee” and ruin the whole moment.

loved the jordan bit from jr .. it was perfect

Just imagine Jericho screaming his lungs out 🤑🤑

There's no reason any commentator should be talking during a promo. I don't need what I'm hearing explained to me by some wanker that's parroting lines fed to him by some other wanker on his headset.

LOL I have to admit though, props to dude for wearing his passion on his sleeve.

that guy was a p***y

Yeah that dude is the purest form of loser on earth

@@p4t21ck No. He is not. You are. You sit in your mothers basement, whinning about another grown man being succesful in his life - because youre not succesful, you dont have money, you dont have fame, youre not good at what you do. And youll never have somebody cry at the sight of you. Cause nobody cares about you nor even knows you exist. Meanwhile, Punk will always have millions - of dollars and of fans all around the world. Youll never match his success even if you dedicate your whole life to it. Sucks doesnt it?

Maffew better have this edit in the end of his next video

He definitely does that's his core audience tbf . Hard to shit on this return tho

Yes he’s definitely objective I thought he would complain it could have been more

I agree. Don't always agree with everything he says , he knows his stuff

I think Jim has a ton of insight but he can be biased and he holds grudges. And anyone could recognize something special was going on, not just Corny.

@Jrock Jonestown knowing the business and kissing bosses asses like Russo are two very different things.

No it was not. Ultimate Warrior had a better return....more than once.

True

@@OmegaRedFanwarrior is a mediocre wrestler no disrespect against him but the current guy and girls can out wrestle him

Warrior was a terrible wrestler. Punk is a mediocre wrestler.

I was at the crowd when nate diaz beat conor. I finally understood what that phrase meant. The crowd was so hyped!

They never came down from the rafters!!

@Paraone Ngatai please inform me. It’s a hilarious line but I really don’t get the reference….

I've always thought that about Cornette's opinions, it's why I tend to listen to his commentary more than others. Not just off of the fact he's been in the wrestling business for years, but also because I'm more inclinded to listen to someone who consistently shits on a product for being bad, than being a company man and sucking it off at every given opportunity.

Likely because when the new stuff starts imitating the old ways, it's a success and gives him a reason to smile. This has got to be Road Warriors level pop, and even calling it a CM Punk pop still means you are correct, sir :)

Jim just likes good wrestling moments and this is an amazing wrestling moment any man with a brain loves this

maybe jim saw the light perhaps he'll even be a trump guy soon

Check out his reviews of WALTER matches

@@MikeHunt-fo3ow well Jim didn't lose his mind

Can't wait for aew to hit the uk

@@louisl5086 I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big four pay per views becomes a uk one once a year, or Even a new uk one. Europeans crowds can also make a show super hot looking. Look at TNA shows in england?

That's pretty sad mate. I just waited until the morning.

@@bobofindlay it's not sad at all. People stay up for huge sporting events e.g. a big boxing fight. I did it for floyd mayweather vs mcgregor

@@louisl5086 that's a big event that can be easily spoiled. This is a man walking out to do a promo ffs. Great pop anyhow. Reminded me of Triple H returning from injury at Madison Square Garden.

I loved the promo though when he adressed the thing about his past decisions and stuff felt like something he's been wanting to say for years, it was great though plus the crowd was amazing

I personally think that was the biggest pop in over a decade and maybe 2 decades. People have argued that the Rock's return was just a bigger return, and maybe that was true because of the surprise, but that crowd was mental and wouldn't let a match happen before they saw him return!

Serious question. Wouldn’t he still have a job if he was good at this business?

@@Kyle-wq2ps Cornette's issue is he says what is on his mind and any company think their shit don't stink.

He does have a job you dolt, you're listening to it

I would say the best thing they’ve done on AEW TV was the Mr. Brodie Lee tribute show on Dynamite.

@@Kyle-wq2ps considering he quit the vast majority of times and has been fired a whopping twice in 40+ years, I think he'd be fine.

Context?

Yeah CM Trump debuting in AEW was huge. Seeing him jump into the other anti-Vaxxers was something. Can’t wait till Bryan joins

My eyes bugged outta my head when he said that

@@PhillyLeotardo25 wait what? How does being an AEW fan automatically mean "anti-vaccine" You praise the company and generalize the fans with wierd throw in at the same time? I'm seriously stunned by that level of assumption. What is your logic??

@@PhillyLeotardo25 it's in Chicago, a very liberal town. I truly believe that many of them were vaccinated

@@samoanjoseph1457 but you have to see them with the shit

Hogan's return on SmackDown between his matches with Brock Lesnar and Mr. McMahon.

There could be an argument for best or loudest pops ever but this for sure was the longest ongoing pop I’ve seen

I would contend that the Rock’s return after 8 years away from wrestling in Anaheim would be a return of epic proportions.

Actually agree, it was excellent

If you want to see on RU-vid the segment I was talking about, for comparison or whatever, search Hulk Hogan Ovation Smackdown Montreal 2002. I believe two commercial breaks weee edited out of it.

I think a closer example would be when Jericho came back to WWE. The pop was tremendous. He didn’t even do a promo. Just came out and played it up with the crowd. This had that feel to it.

Jericho came out and immediately had his hype killed by The Rock and it only went downhill from there, for at least a year. He looked like chump change straight away, and I was a fan of Jericho at that time.

So you been a a fan past ten years then cause Austin n the rock use get bigger pops on a weekly basis it was good but people over reacting

@@phillbarlow125 That is completely irrelevant for the current situation.
