CM Punk in AEW: The End (Documentary)
CM Punk's return to professional wrestling in 2021 set the wrestling world ablaze and launched AEW from an alternative wrestling promotion to a bonafide threat in the wrestling space.
Tempting CM Punk back to wrestling was on the cards since his departure from WWE in 2014 and AEW, and Tony Khan, finally got Punk to put pen to paper after 7 and-a-half years.
While everything started red-hot and continued that way for several months, things went wildly off the rails coming up to the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2022. In the months that followed there were injuries, interim champions, and wrecked long-term plans.
Returning post-injury and defeating Jon Moxley at the All Out pay-per-view in 2022, CM Punk participated in a post-event media scrum where he vehemently criticised Colt Cabana, Kenny Omega, Matt & Nick Jackson, and Hangman Adam Page.
This led to a brawl between Omega, the Jacksons and Punk. All parties were suspended, and CM Punk was out injured months beyond his suspension.
In June 2023, CM Punk returned to All Elite Wrestling on a new weekly television show, AEW Collision, which was orchestrated specifically to tailor to Punk's vision.
In the following months were arguments, leaked stories, bans, removals and now infamous encounters between Jack Perry, CM Punk, Tony Khan and others at the All In pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium.
This documentary chronicles CM Punk's return to AEW in June 2023 and follows his journey up until his termination after the All In pay-per-view.
For the sake of everybody's time; the decision was made to cut out some matches and moments, and just to focus on segments and matches that flowed best with the story. This includes excluding the match against Satoshi Kojima at Forbidden Door.

Jesus loves u
This aged pretty well lol
Please don't ever stop making these kick ass documentaries, dude. Quality fuckin content.
100% spot on with this comment
I need this kind of documentary for Samoe Joe as well.
Exactly ❤🙌
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
Dude has a gift!
That smirk In Punk’s entrance at All In said it all.
I STTGG I sweaaarrr I kept saying to myself “daamn man i hope nothing happened backstage bc that looks like a face of some BS just happened but I still gotta do my job, but Fck it it’ll be my last day” and once I seen him say goodbye at the end of the match I was like Yeaahh I bet that’s for some reason the last time we see punk in AEW
Joe’s face in that match said so much as well.
There was a twitter video from someone in the crowd after his match where you could see him mouth "GOODBYE" to the crowd. Think he knew that was his last match. Real shame how it all ended.
@@user-yi9qb6rj6g smh and all for what tho? A waste
So did his exit at All In
Punk's exit from AEW will always be legendary. Beat the shit out of Jack Perry, yelled at his boss, came out and fought Joe like nothing happened, winning the match in front of a massive 80,000+ crowd chanting his name and theme song, says goodbye and walks out knowing he's done, gets fired, chills for 2 months, then shows back up in WWE. I'll always be of the belief that Punk was ready to leave after Brawl Out, but Tony wouldn't let him out of his contract, so he fought Perry to force his hand. His little smirk as he came out implies that he knew he was out, and was ready to go out on top. I hope he managed to keep the belt lol. Edit: so the theory that he wanted out after Brawl Out was more or less confirmed by him. He was ready to leave, and actually told Tony "I quit" before going out and wrestling his biggest match. Lol
He also stated he wanted to quit well before that
One chapter ends, and another one starts. Congratulations to CM Punk to returning to the WWE!
The return to professionell Wrestling! Not that WCW wannabe
@@dbzfan3114but they drew 82,000 , so they not WCW moron
@@dbzfan3114 oh please ur being generous they are bearly even TNA wannabes 😂
@@dbzfan3114lol your mf aew company will be destroyed if you take wwe’s name 🎉
@@crzywithme8755 why your Aew i dont like that Company it is a trash Company without ex Wwe Wrestler there are Notting it is more worse than TNA .
I have to say……this is a Grade A fantastic documentary……put together in less than a week from being fired from AEW. You, my friend, should get tons of acknowledgment for this masterpiece.
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
its a video compilation. I am sure this would never see a real network lol.
And don't matter if it's clips first seven minutes of it I was stoked
@kajenbop Still takes a lot of work
this is your threshold for "a Grade A fantastic documentary" do you have nerve damage in your brain? a well put together compilation of other videos. delusional lol
I have never been so disappointed with how this all ended
Punk and these shoot promos were literally the ticket to taking AEW to another level. I guarantee like Punk or not Vince would've done whatever he had to do to keep this angle going. Tony fired the biggest and brightest star in the industry in order to appease a bunch of indie fools. Tony wanted everyone to be happy. If that's your first concern as a promoter you're a fuckin mark. Vince would've been out of business after 5 years if he thought that way.
Really? Kinda seen ALL this coming the moment they hired the low life cancer honestly.
@@travelreview5962 You're right. Vince stood by wrestlers who think could make more money, even if they're hated in the locker room, because he's a businessman first.
Vince would’ve but honestly if punk did the same thing in wwe how vince would’ve reacted. Since punk was apparently chiming for a wwe return according to fightful But idk it’s a very different landscape but I do wanna point out to the ultimate warrior’s story in wwe where he was giving a lot and was ultimately fired when he challenged vince Not a similar story since warrior never threatened staff or vince with violence but idk if vince would’ve kept the angle or would’ve fired him out right
@@meridiantelekoms 100%... and you are going to have to have the same mindset if you want to build anything near the same level as he has. The business today may be prettier and more politically correct, but make no mistake there has never been a more difficult time than hire to compete for peoples attention than now. You are going to have to make difficult decisions every day and screwing up this bad can be a nail in the coffin.... especially if Punk decided to go back to WWE.
"One bill Phil... That's because I am the one, true, genuine article in a business full of counterfeit bucks." That was one hell of a line.
I was confused about the whole history between Punk and the Elite. Thank you so much for making this documentary, hands down quality content
Thank you for compiling this. It’s so refreshing to be able to follow it all “in real time” instead of reading the dirtsheets, going back and watching, checking out all the opinions, etc etc etc Really great and valuable content
It's a shame it ended this way.
Ikr but atleast we got to see him return to wrestling in general
@@KaiTheCheetahTrue but to see him become what he claimed to despise? That was not what I wanted to see. He started to believe his own hype and BS. Remember how he said NOBODY is bigger than the people, or the business. Then he became just that, or HE THOUGHT HE WAS. Now not all the blame is or falls on him. There are a few people, a few people who again believe that they are bigger than they truly are. Executive Vice Presidents, which is LOL, NOT AN ACTUAL TITLE!! The Elite, the Young Sucks, Kenny Omega, etc, turned into schoolboy crybabies! Whaah!! he picked on me, Whaah!! Now I'm not condoning what Punk did. He truly acted like a SPOILED BRAT! And now as hard as this is to say, maybe the wwe had a reason to fire his *ss? And I can't stand the wwe, but Punk acted like a little Punk. I can't understand why his ego got so big. Why he started to believe he was a god among men? Yes he was a great wrestler, and yes his return was one of the biggest POPS ever in Pro Wrestling, but in the end he was still just a wrestler. He seemed to feel that he didn't need to do what the other wrestlers did, since he was "royalty"? Again something he claimed he hated about the wwe. And yeah the Elite may have come across as Royalty, but Punk's big mouth didn't help matters. This entire fiasco was because of ONE THING! EGOS! Guys had too big of an Ego, other guys had their Egos bruised, and some may just be total A-Holes? Either way, this turned into a schoolyard slap fest. I had hoped Luke Perry's kid wasn't some entitled little brat. He may not be? I wasn't there, and the TRUE ACTUAL FACTS of what happened between them, well each person will have a different "recollection" of what happened. What could have been an amazing experience and a cornerstone of professional wrestling, became a joke! Who knows maybe the wwe planted Philly Brooks in AEW to cause chaos and create animosity? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Hmmmmmm? LOL.
he’s a cancer , it was inevitable , not a shame when you self sabotage everywhere you go
Bro fr I thought this time would be different
It didn't have to. If Tony had any balls, treated it like a business instead of fantasy booking with real life action figures, trying to be everyone's friend, didn't put people in positions they neither deserved nor earned, I could go on, but with the counterfeit Bucks marks in here, it would be pointless. Mind you, I have always had an issue with Punks backstage antics, but don't make objective statements based on your subjective perspective
Tony’s lack of ability to manage is quite honestly the most remarkable thing in wrestling despite all the talent that has walked through doors they could not do a thing with.
U couldn’t have said it better
And now he is back in WWE.
And now he is injured 😂
You’re one of the top wrestling content creators in this space. Thank you for this. keep it up!
This is a phenomenal FILM as a documentary, let alone how great the content itself is. Keep making these!
The reason for downfall of CM punk is phill brookes
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
@@kajenbopok we get it, you don’t need to say that with every comment. they still did a good job, no need to discredit the creator.
@@kajenbopmy fucking God, you must be bored
His run in June when he came back honestly is my favorite AEW run of his, it felt more raw, and I wished we seen the Real World title story play out with MJF
should be renamed "How CM Punk returned to the WWE"
The body language between Omega and Punk’s when they’re talking about “ the incident” speaks volumes to me: Punk is angry, confrontational, and generally gives off a “do not f*** with me, or I will end you” vibe. Kenny is tired, sad, and really regretful of the entire incident.
To be fair Kenny omega attacked him with 3 friends vs 1 person. The EVP’s are jealous sensitive cowards. Punk has the right to be fucking upset about that.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037Dude, you chatted so much s**t. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. Prove it. Prove that the EVPs attacked CM Punk 3 on 1. PROVE IT. You chat so much s**t because everything you said didn't happened at all. Now tell me when I'm telling lies for I most certainly can tell when you are. Sorry for lashing out but it's super dirty of people spreading bs about this because it makes their fee-fee feel better. People need to stick to facts and stop spreading rumours that not even CM PUNK communicated. Not even a news flash but it was CM PUNK that confirmed that he struck the ELITES first, and he tried to say it was because the elite kicked down his door, which he changed to they barged through the door, and then changed again to say they opened the doors aggressively and hit his dog. Sorry, to backtrack that many times is you (punk) losing the argument. Plus this so called attack was done in front of the head of legal and head of talent relations in the same room. You think the elite attack cm punk when they brought those two heads with them? Illogical, senseless and clearly not true. They came to talk for they were his bosses, not to fight.Tell me when I'm telling lies. Don't spread lies and false narratives. Stick to the facts. Do not focus and hyperbole claims for claims are not facts. All CM Punk proven through this is he loves to hyperbole, turn baseless claims to facts, and he cannot move on as he spur crap again even after giving someone their receipt. Case in point, hangman page.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037 the only problem with your story is kenny omega didnt attack anyone, he tryed to protect the dog and was attacked by acesteel tooth lol... thats the story that the cm punk camp told.
Nobody attacked anyone beside Punk suckerpunching, throwing chairs and Ace biting. Stop changing the story to make Punk look like he defended himself. The Elite took Punks invantation to talk after he shit on aew and them publicly, bringing the vice President megha parekh with them. You dort do that if you want to attack someone.
Kenny is the Adult in that group is the bucks who are the problem and act like victims. Feel bad for kenny because he gets drag into this because of "his buddies"
Watching wrestling storylines like this is always the best can’t wait to see how you’re gonna do The Bloodline story
This entire video is the most modern wrestling I’ve been able to sit through in a LONG time. You can really see the difference of telling a story and classic psychology, and just doing moves.
Thanks for making this. I haven’t watched wrestling regularly since the early 2000’s but I keep an eye on the major drama and my brother is still a huge fan. I heard about this drama but knew nothing, glad you made this so I can catch up
You did a magnificent job compiling everything relevant, filling all the blanks and providing full context for each incident that led up to the release.
Another fascinating thing that didn't make it into the documentary was when Hangman won his world title (before Punk), the crowd chanted "you deserve it" and he replied "no, I earned it". Which Punk then usurped for himself, at the same time proclaiming Max stealing his catch phrase. The lines of story and reality were never more blurred than this era. What a tragedy.
A treagedy ?????????????? No one died dude there is no tragedy, in fact it's a good thing that all this bs is over
Imagine The Rock calling Stone Cold out, an Stone Cold didn't come out.
@@-Trauma. yes the audacity that he was not in the building, and if he was he is a bad guy to not respond to a child calling him out. bad bad hangman page.
how about when adam page chopped him in the mouth and didnt want to talk to punk back stage to clear things up
@@DDW50 hey if I was Hangman and I didn't go out there, I'd tell everyone I wasn't in the building either. "I'm saving AEW from You!" He says, from home.
Very well done, very neutral documentary. It’s a shame it all ended like this. Personally, if some things are to be believed, Punk did try and work it out with the Elite and co, but they weren’t budging. I’m of the opinion that by the time he came back on Collision, he had wanted out of AEW (the visit to RAW backstage, making amends with some people before he was told he had to leave leads me to think this way). IMHO, there are people on the AEW roster who aren’t the most mature, and there is no structure in place to help them swim (or sink). Guys like Jack Perry and Adam Page fall into that category, though I feel if it wasn’t Jack Perry it would have been someone else that initiated Punk’s exit. He wanted out. I was a very casual AEW fan until they brought back CM Punk. I started watching every week after that. My dog watched with me. If his behavior was any indication, he was a CM Punk mark; his ear would perk up when he heard “Cult of Personality” start, his little stubby tail would start going a mile a minute. He passed away from a very aggressive form of cancer the afternoon of September 2nd. A few hours later, Tony Khan made the announcement. It was just a bad day all around.
Hope you get a new dog and make him watch punk in wwe :)
@@dewamshah8713 thanks. I hope so too. That was my little boy.
Tony's reason for firing punk just makes him look pathetic
Amazing video. You could’ve recycled a lot from your first video but you did it on punks second run. Too many KZheadrs do this and I’m glad to see the integrity. Keep at it!
Hell of an icon, but in the end, CM Punk's greatest enemy is Phil Brooks.
And yet, he never sees it that way.
How is it his fault?
Good God you guys are like Trump supporters. There's literally nothing that can change your mind but how idiotic your favorite wrestlers are in real life
@nordicman8430 😂😂😂 I've been saying that all along, it's weird. I think it's a perception/psychology issue I don't have the time to sort out.
@@nordicman8430his ego and his temper. He can't control himself backstage, no one forced him to assault a coworker, he made that decision himself. He's been known to have an ego in the indies, in RoH, in WWE, and of course, in AEW as well. HHH's promo on him was very accurate, both are the same and quite happy to trample others, but HHH is honest about it.
That moment when Punk salutes Wembley and says, "Goodbye"....He knew he was leaving one way or another. I look forward to whatever Punker does next.
who cares glad hes gone
Oh he’s back!
The best professional video i saw on youtube man!!! But for what is worth theres no documentary without an influence background voice Keep it up🖤🖤🖤
I missed him for 7 and a half years, and I'm gonna miss him again. Glad I got to see him live at least once before his release.
same man, same
Not gonna lie, his match with Joe at the Largest paid attendance in Wrestling history is actually a phenomenal swan song for his career. [>
@@kaineshigaraki5253poetic that it was Joe too in what could be his final match. Personally though I don't think he is done.
@@kaineshigaraki5253sadly the shows attendance was a lie
As long as Kenny omega and young bucks stay in aew... It won't even be a 50% of what wwe is... When NJPW, who always sends their wrestlers with respect and honor to other companies had issues with Kenny omega, you need to understand how big off a arsehole he is... CM punk is too old school to hang out with these guys... Imagine using a popular faction like bullet club and being in it just to promote their own elite group and leaving it😅... Wrestler control Aew and they don't listen to management...
No matter how you feel about the outcome, it's just a bummer it didn't work out. Hope AEW continues to do well, and I hope Punk finds himself in a wrestling ring once again someday.
Amen
he's finished
@@DWOLF777they fired their top draw “with cause”* Punk has his fanbase, but he clearly wanted out by any means. It’s best for both parties if he’s out of AEW to explore other options. WWE would be the best case scenario, but I don’t know if Punk can swallow his pride to walk back some of his criticisms of WWE. He’d look like a hypocrite, on some level. And he clearly has some enemies there, to this day.
@AirshipOverWater he didn't want out. He was fired. With cause was mentioned because they didn't want there to be any confusion as to who was at fault for his firing. And WWE doesn't want him. Nobody with a brain wants him in their company. He creates a toxic workplace wherever he goes, be it WWE, ROH, or AEW. And he was never the top star in WWE during his time there; John Cena was, so it wasn't jealousy that people disliked him for. They don't hate Cena like they hated Punk, and Cena buried everyone. That's saying something EDIT after WWE return: Actually, there are people without brains running WWE who thought bringing Punk back was a good idea... let's see if he can outlast this contract
Amen brother
Great doc. Don’t have much time to keep up on everything going on. This brought me up to speed. Good quality homez! Subbed!
WOW. Well done. Shoutout to the flashback edit during Punk’s Collision entrance. Cutting in that black and white of his initial debut, with the ambience and everything… chills. 🤩
I gained respect for Kenny Omega with his stance
I respect Kenny more because of the reported rumor that he was willing to squash the beef with Punk. That’s a mature decision. Rumor is Bucks refused. Watching the interviews with the rumors in mind, it looks like Omega was always willing to resolve the matter and move forward while others weren’t [>
Kenny has came out of this looking better than the bucks by a landslide
This is probably one of the better Wrestling documentary channels on KZhead right now. I tried to get into the business years ago. (I have a different look being Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian) UPW (Cena was the Prototype there) accepted me but the 9-11 tragedy stopped the move in 2001. Had a match with Yuji Nagata and another with Dragon Gate. Did a Chikara event with Generico, Fire Ant, Eddie Kingston and others. Teddy Hart moonsaulted on my head. Almost had a match with AJ Styles. My FCW tryout was with AJ Lee and Adam Rose. Did a promo in front of the legendary Dusty Rhodes. I had a smackdown tryout where I helped a run in with Matt Hardy. It was a short run but my regrets are not getting to meet and learn from all the greats. Thankfully I didn't get too hurt in those years. And to everyone who is chasing their dream, don't give up. I hope you get farther than me.
Dude, I have a lot of respect for you making it as far as you did! Not many people would’ve been able to pull that off and you clearly had some talent to be given a match with Yuji Nagata of all people. You may not have met and learned from ‘the greats’, but there are active wrestlers that would ache for the chance to face Nagata. I’m sorry things didn’t quite fall into place for you, but I reckon you’d have plenty to offer to anyone trying to make it today. I hope you’re happy with you and where you are today. Keep doing you, kaikunane 💪🏾
@@mjktrx Thank you for the kind words. I think I was 22 when I faced Nagata and still young in my career. (Had trained 5 years and would wrestle maybe another 5 or so) Took the exploder, nagata lock and everything. He was an awesome person. I think that was a missed opportunity, as I was on the same card as Liger, Chono, Nagata and Kensuke Sasaki. I should have went to train in Japan immediately after that. But look up Akua Neckbreaker for more.
My internet goes out constantly. But when it comes back, there's always a jewel of a video waiting. Your work is wonderful, and I hope more people have the opportunity to see your channel. :)
First video I’ve watched that you’ve made but you clearly deserve my subscription
Punk is an Egomaniac if you didn't see this coming you haven't been listening to people that dealt with him in the past. "he's their problem now."
Sounds like the bigger problem is the little boys club at AEW. Brooks seems to have bumped up against them.
@@williambuckley5601shhhh fanboy... phils a dickhead, always has been
We're the little boys in the place he worked before. He was disrespecting those who had done years before him there and thought he was God ther too. Plenty lies come from him too. He got exactly what he did there back. The younger generation told him he wasn't a special as he thinks just like he did to the elders before him. Good think was starks pinned him before he left so he can't go around spouting his lies that he left as a unpined camp
Punk: " Who I choose to be friends with, is nobody's business but my own!!!" ALSO Punk: "You should disclose who you are friends with!!!"
I love him and I hate cena, but cena was right, punk is a hypocrite.

Wanted Punk to return for yrs. But, didnt want to see it end this way. Sheds some light to the situation.
Truth of the matter is that people turned their back on CM Punk. They were behind him because of what he stood for and what he called out. Now they hate him because of what he stood for and called out. Look at Punk history from 2011 to now. Notice how he hasn't changed but the audience crapping on him did. I'm also noticing a pattern of media trying to crap on him at every opportunity.

Man Collision was Must-See with Punk.
Yep, it was. It felt like an actual brand split unlike smackdown vs raw. It could of lead to some of the best PPVs down the line when the shows clashed. Guess we'll never know now. (Side note the fact Jack Perry has a job is BS, the man doesnt draw, caused Tony to lose ALOT of money AND lose his golden goose ).
@@iThinkMyNamesBenH I would like to disagree. As annoying and childish Jack might have been, it’s clear as day that Punk has an ego/anger issues that if not Jack it would have been someone else he had a “problem” with. Now a lot of it has to do with lack of structure and the lack of respect Tony commands but I believe he literally has anger issues inside of him. He also seems to have to physically fight people he can beat up (Ala a bully) but wouldn’t keep that energy with someone he is weaker than. IMO
@@thesoulsurvivorLmao go cry fan
Ironic how AEW preaches about pro wrestling and yet losing their top guys as they go to WWE and make an incredible pro wrestling storytelling and make history there.
The incredible irony of Punk bragging about marching to the beat of his own drum. Being unapologetic, and being himself. Yet having a problem with Page for not caring what he thinks is just beautiful
Some shit just writes itself
being yourself and perceiving yourself to be too high status to respectfully take or not take advice are 2 things...
@@clicheguevara9917 Not really, if the "yourself" you're being is someone who doesn't do those things. Besides, he says he's willing to hear people out when they give advice. But that he generally doesn't follow it. Which is totally his right.
Punk gets REALLY mad at people who act the way he does. Kinda tells you something about the level of self-loathing in Phil Brooks.
Hate him or love him, Punk has and will always be integral to the landscape of professional wrestling. One of the realest to ever be on the stick and in the ring. Even if he no longer continues, may he have health and the best for himself moving forward
+AnimeCapitalist Yep
he looked in good shape ..much better than in 2022 , he looked like the heel cm punk of 2013/2014

Amazing documentary mate, well done mate would more👍👍
I'm happy for both companies. AEW got ospreay, WWE got Punk. It's a good time to be a wrestling fan.
I KNEW YOU'D COME, CHAPTER II. Great work. Dropmick's editing style is WONDERFUL!
*Punk became the very thing he claimed to hate the most* Mox was right about Punk.
"Enjoy your CM Punk while you can, cause he ain't gonna be here much longer. Fragile mind, fragile body, fragile ego." That promo stood with me for a while cause it felt like a shoot, now we see the long term results. It's disappointing how this all ended, at least we had the Punk vs MJF feud when we did cause Punk was a ticking time bomb, and not the good kind like Hiromu Takahashi.
The Eite really got y’all brainwashed and mind controlled huh 😂😂
Punk worked with self-important children like the bucks, that did not have the balls to even interact with him after they jumped him. They do not want to learn, they think they know everything and when somebody takes them up on it, they hide behind lawyers.
@@GQFJB Nah, Tony Khan, Jack Perry, Miro, Joe, Christopher Daniels and probably some other poor fools that don't even lift weights "brainwashed" us. Not a particular fan of The Elite here, good matches but not my favorite cup of tea. It's not about sides it's about knowing to be "the responsible adult in the room", remember that? Grow up, dude.
@@GQFJB the elite are immature. Punk attacked someone and then lunged for his boss, he deserved to be fired! "brainwashed", grow up kid.
Love these documentaries ‼️
The way this is edited makes me feel like this could be the greatest work of all time.
Bro i was waiting for the sequel You did it❤
Thank you so very much for taking time out of your life to put this together. It's really nice to have everything all in one place like this in such a quality package.
This is the only kind of docs i watch great job
Good work on summing the CM Punk drama well done man👍🏾
The guy is 45, fights with people half his age over petty stuff. Back in WWE, no one stood up for him when he got fired, not even years later. Even his die-hards must see a pattern by now.
100%
His greatest talent is speaking his mind on the work ethics of certain wrestling companies, but that talent ended up being a key factor in his biggest downfall.
Guys, let's not exaggerate, all his former WWE colleagues talk about him with affection, the punk himself had to sue the WWE doctors who made him fight despite a serious injury , so I don't think he was wrong in abandoning them, Even in AEW he wasn't wrong, in fact he exposed what the actual problems of the federation are , And I really find this demonization of him ridiculous, do we really want to pretend that the EVPs or Jack Parry and Tony Khan have no responsibilities? Punk will certainly have a big ego but the same goes for the others already mentioned but the latter have also shown themselves to be lacking in professionalism.
@@Micheledc-hc7lv You didn't need to make a burner account to protect yourself Puno
@@rmmm4268 I'm simply telling the truth, if you then want to remain blind and see punk as the only ugly and bad one, perhaps the problem isn't him but you who take one side or the other based on your sympathies.
I agree with many of the other comments. Was hoping i wouldn't be back here commenting on the end. You have done another fantastic job. You deserve to be compensated for your efforts. Great work. Rather than overanalyzing a man I have never met, I will keep this comment simple. I hope CM Punk finds the help he needs, he is clearly in need of some help and has some pent up anger. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him for standing up for himself when he was attacked, but lunging at your boss isn't tolerated at any level. Sucks it ended this way. I just hope Punk finds inner peace no matter what is next.
Bret knocked Vince out and it was justified
No one attacked him he's the one attacking people it's been well documented
@@Kr4ShSkeLyeah, people don't want to open their eyes. Is the same thing with the dirt sheet thing and Punk always giving info to Hausman, my guy is a hypocrite. Also, his story both times was always changing and changing, he's a narcissist and a liar
@@STORMYFWEATHERS True, but Tony didn't do shit to deserve it, if anything it's the opposite, Tony repeatedly bent over backwards deferring to Punk over and over again, also it was a repeated offense, and it's painfully obvious Punk has PROBLEMS. He's always starting shit or threatening to start it, insulting people publicly then getting mad when others dish it back (much softer, no less), and has beef with people who don't have beef with anybody else. Punk deserved absolutely everything he got, and probably more, tbh.
CM Punk wasn’t attacked in either incident. He attacked people both times.
This was an awesome doc! Great Content
Incredible work on this doc.
On the day Punk returned in 2021, I got bit by a brown recluse spider & ended up in the hospital for a week. On the day he came back the 2nd time, someone stole my identity & all of my money. I was afraid to see what would happen if it happened a third time.
HUH?!
Thank you for this well done documentary. I am a bit out of the loop about AEW and uncertain of what exactly is going on. This has helped so much. I kept listening to Jim Cornette and Brian Last discuss this, but I needed the context and visuals to fully understand this situation. Thank you! ❤
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
@@kajenbopwho cares shut up
@@kajenbop Mkay.
lmao listening to the absolute worst source you could get
Jim cornette ahaha your opinion just became useless
This video is incredible. Much respect for the final product this video is great at documenting everything involved
Thank you for posting this.
Excellent content as always. Amazing. Love it 🥰
Great editing skills..Well put together video. you should be proud.
Even though i lost respect after he went back to a company he bashed so much, i really liked his run. One of the most interesting in recent years
These documentaries are brilliant!
This is brilliantly put together! Thank you!
Let me add on to everyone praise. I love the way you set up these Documentaries! You do such an amazing job at capturing every detail of what occurs. Hell, some of the clips I saw I didn't even know were a thing. Keep up the amazing work and I hope I am 1 of the many new subs you get... I mean that you absolutely deserve!
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
@kajenbop That's what a documentary is. It's in the name, it "documents" events that have happened. The editing and effort to make sure the events are clearly conveyed is what rises above a simple compilation.
@@kraxosOBK just because you also don’t know the difference does not make either of you correct. It’s a compilation, a damn fine one at that... but it is in no way a documentary!
I wish they could've laid down the bs and hashed it out but man sucks to see it end like this. This documentary and the last have been some of the best wrestling content I've seen in a long time it's on par with AEW and WWE promo work tip of the hat.
punk didnt want that spot on his show jack did it anyways. to get into a fight over it was just stupid just make sure jack was never on you're show again.then you can laugh when he cry's hes not getting any tv time.
When one chapter ends another one begins 💯
Awesome Video!! Can't wait for the AEW RECAP Videos (ie. Start, Covid Years, etc.)
That’s a great idea!!! Year in Review would be great videos.
Love these documentaries, You're getting better and better every time!!
It is not a documentary, it is a compilation.
@@kajenbop you keep writing it in every comment and noone cares so shut up and let us call it how we want
Thanks Jungeboy! Very cool!
