Jim Cornette Reviews CM Punk's Confrontation With Paul Heyman on WWE Smackdown 

I liked when Punk did his best Cornette impersonation singing 🎵Like Mussolini!!🤣

"take me with you" man, Heyman can say anything and make you FEEL

If WWE marketing don't give us the album 'Dwayne and Phil sing the Rock and Punk Classics' then somebody needs firing.

How meta is Punk singing 'Like Mussoleeeeeeniiieee' on the show because of Corney.

It was so heartwarming to see Heyman and Punk reunite on screen even for a small segment. Both Heyman (a non wrestler manager and former promoter) and Punk still rehabilitating shows how to get over crowd without any wrestling.

The way Punk flipped the crowd from chanting “We want Roman” to them chanting “CM Punk” just shows how tremendous he is on the mic.

Punk pointing the camera to the hardcam side and saying “look at all the people!” hours after AEWs worst ever ratings came out was amazing

like mussolini😂

That inevitable “can they co-exist” team up between Punk and Reigns is gonna be phenomenal

"Take me with you..."

Jim had to be grinning from ear to ear after Punk sang "Like Mussolini!!" 😂😂😂

Can we start referring to The Clash at the Castle incident as the "Glasgow Drewjob"?

The detail of punk protecting heyman as solo comes out

Punk DID sound better at singing “LIKE MUSSOLINI!!!”

I Absolutely loved this segment seeing CM Punk and paul heyman interacting was awesome especially when paul said take me with you paul heyman is so good in the bloodline storyline CM punk calling solo sikoa a phony tribal chief that was great this entire segment was brilliant.

Punk could truly teach a class about cutting promos, and every wrestler would benefit from it.

This was great. Punk getting a massive pop at home, also a bit of poetry it was only hours learning of AEW's abysmal ratings. Heyman also got a hug reaction and the two of them together were a match. From the cowardly Heyman trying to look out for Punk, the hug, and of course the "Take me with you." 2 of the best talkers in the business.

Did anyone else wander what tony kahn was thinking when he saw Drew quit? Lol "we gotta get drew on the phone! I can't believe he quit lets hire him!"

Lmfaoo Brian hating on Jim singing will never get old

Heymans facials had me dying

I was eagerly waiting for this. Once Punk belted out "Like Mussolini" I was like, I have to hear what Corney says about this.

Ah yes the moment you have all been waiting for

CM Punk in Chicago on a random Smackdown. 15,000 MJF on Long Island on a ppv. 7,500. Ha.

If Paul doesn't get an Emmy it'll be a travesty

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when Cody and Punk get together for a chat in the back?

I'll take Corny's singing over Brian's "music" any day of the week.

Been waiting for this one ever since Punk's latest on-air nod to Jim 😂

Just when you think Paul Heyman couldn’t possibly get any better, he continues to show how good he really is.

Like mussolini part was the best

The hug sent me. "Sorry i really needed that!" Me at home - shit I'll hug you Paul!

When Paul said take me with you. That shit was perfect

LIKE MUSSOLINI

A simple sentence of “Take me with you” ended up being the best line of the week, anywhere. However, Prince’s heads up the pantheon.

It's only a matter of time before punk guest stars on one of the Jim's shows and it's going to be GLORIOUS!!!

I popped when he sang like Jim! 😂🎉

This was the best Smackdown in at least the last 15 years, probably longer, definitely the best Smackdown in recent memory, so much stuff happened.

I don't know what's better...seeing Punk & Heyman in a ring together again, or Travis's artwork here. Absolutely tremendous!

Not one wrestling move and I was glued to the screen for the entire segment. This was incredible!

This is my favorite sketch. The three stooges 😅

Either best supporting actor in a comedy series or variety show or best guest actor in a comedy series for Paul

Knew Corny was gonna like Punk referencing his singing

this video art is amazing!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="176">2:56</a> good lord Brian burned the shit out of Corny 😂

I wish Punk had shown up for the Louisville Smackdown the other week. Maybe we could have had a Jim Cornette appearance, or at least a usage of a tennis racket. Would have been an enormous pop...

Jim dropped bangers today 😂 Been waiting on this one

Love me a little Jim on a Wednesday afternoon

Paul Heyman should seriously get into acting after wrestling. I think the only movie role he's ever had up until now is a cameo in the 'Rollerball' remake.

The Pauly Shuffle. Ha.

Travis has done it again with the artwork. Kid's go look up The Three Stooges. Some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see.

Tony... Tony... Tony ... Could've stuck with the star power of Rhodes and Punk. Now you have to look at the Young Bucks and kick yourself every morning.

Another interesting thing was Paul saying that Roman respected Heymans plea not to mess with Punk. Just peeling back more layers

The "I needed that" was so funny, reading all our thoughts. The way he laughed while saying that it felt like he came up with it on the spot. And yeah that "take me with you" was a great line. Heyman cant just do hints anymore, hes desperate. Absolutely love his work on this.

Heyman as Joe... I can completely see him yelling "Stooooooooooop, you guuuuuuuys! Not so haaaaaaaard!"

Oh my God that thumbnail is perfection. Punk, Corny, and Paul as Moe, Larry, and Joe is funny af 😂

I thought Punk was gonna say something like "Sure Paulie, there's this new burger place I've been meaning to go to, come on, it'll be my treat".

I wish we can get the new bloodline vs the Heyman guys (Roman, punk and Brock) w Cody. That would break the internet

The fact that I have been binge watching “The Three Stooges” recently and this masterpiece of an artwork is used is hilarious to me 😂

Roman and Punk first interaction being a who does Heyman like more is inevitable lol and I can’t wait

if Heyman is so scared of the new bloodline, someone tell him he doesn't have to go to the arena's lol

My wife dosent watch WWE with me that much but she didnt move from watching this segment… it was brilliant

Just imagine a promo between Punk and Roman with Punk saying i was a Paul Heyman guy, but now i am at my best version because i am Jim Cornette Chosen One

For a time Rikishi and Haku were a tag team in WWE. I wish WWE would reference this more and show clips of that to further explain the connection between Solo Sikoa and Toma Tonga and Tonga Loa. Also, I wonder if WWE will reference Tonga and Loa by their tag team name The Guerillas Of Destiny

It's hard to believe that the Paul Heyman of today was the Psycho Yuppie! How things have evolved.

10/10 smackdown this week

At this point we need a "LIKE MUSSOLINI" sing challenge on Instagram or TikTok

Jim says don’t need the big bang theory….. which is true don’t get me wrong. But it’s funny in my case cause on my local fox the lead in to smackdown is the Big Bang theory lol

Travis killing me with the Stooges thumbie! 😂😂

I can’t believe aew chose that little balding virgin jungle boy over the only star they ever had.

Damn dude SD really does feel like the A show. Lol couldn't help but think about Jim when Punk sang his own theme.

Punk always delivers.

God this segment was fucking great lmao

Paul E. Was listening to the Prince song “take me with you” before his promo. 😂

Man, WWE has been SO good lately. I'm intensely interested in a few storylines right now🎉🎉

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="340">5:40</a> OH GOD!!!😂😂😂 I didn't see it either until you mentioned it jim😂 brilliant

When cornette sings angels, cry ❤🎉 because they can't compare.

When cody shows up paul teleports behind solo and the tongans

Heyman saying "Take me with you" sounded like he was in love. 🤣 It was hilarious.

Would love if you could get Paul heyman on the jim cornette experience for a jim and Paul reunion

Great segment, WWE didn't kept us waiting for a year for this. Cm Punk and Paul Heyman must watch together.

Best thumbnail graphic yet....!!!

I’m convinced Heyman is a baby face now

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="465">7:45</a> I popped, rewound and popped again

Heyman especially has been great in this next phase of The Bloodline Saga. Punk making a guest appearance in Chicago was great and it added to what Drew McIntyre would do later.

If they ever end up with Punk feuding with the Bloodline and Cornette cuts the legs out of a Samoan with a tennis racket when they try to cheat, I'll lose my mind... not to mention how insane a promo exchange that involves Corny, Punk, and Heyman could be...

Punk said at Castle's post show that he was doing to see doctors to confirm that he's cleared and he'll have it confirmed at this smackdown. Jugding by the fact that he didn't say here anything about getting cleared and they made Drew take him out for some time, its pretty logical that he wasn't cleared after all, it's a shame

When WWE gets to Netflix: 1) Shows will be shorter. 2) No commercial breaks, PLE style presentation. 3) They can do, literally, whatever they want to do. With all of these true stars/draws, wrestling fans are in for a mixture between Renaissance and Revolution. As a side effect, there are millions of people that only still have cable/satellite because of football, and even some because of wrestling. But if people unplug because they are WWE specific fans, then you will see all wrestling TV numbers go down. Big time.

Im surprised Corny didn't break into the song Message in a Bottle by singing Jism in a Bottle after his rant at around the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="585">9:45</a> mark LOL !

Anyone else catch Punk wheel the camera around to show off the hard cam side to show everyone in the crowd?

So glad I got to see this live. The pop for Punk was incredible. Chicago did us proud.

RIP SIKA 👏 Father of the Tribal Chief.

A Joe Besser reference?!? OMG I'm fucking absolutely tickled. Ty! Lol

Tongans are Polynesian just like Samoans thats what they have in common. They are all South Pacific Islanders and have lots of similarities

I hate the fact that people would lose their jobs,but I just wish aew goes away or something happens where they get sold. I'm tired of the back and forth. But at least Punk is back.

Don't forget Joe Besser had a more notable run as Stinky on The Abbott and Costello Show.

If it was an AEW opening segment it would be a Moxley rah rah promo about how great the place is and how he will defend AEW against......?, then he will mention some no name over the hill indy darling and say how dangerous they are and THEN he will say how he chews glass and is a bad man

Travis, you did it again 😂😂😂

If you told anyone in 2015 that within a few years crowds would be chanting “we want Roman” no one would believe you 😂

Jim cornette says hechicero like the Bluth Family makes chicken noises.

CM PUNK

Brian finally corrected Jim about Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa being TONGANS, not Samoans. 😂
