Something I WISH other interviewers would learn and takes notes from, THIS is how you conduct an interview. Letting the interviewee think about and answer your questions and then asking well thought out follow up questions in relation to the answers just given. Too many times I hear interviewers who seem to love the sound of their own voice and want to make the interviews all about themselves and how many questions they can jam in rather than the person they're interviewing. The reason people like Chris I would hazard a guess and enjoy him interviewing almost or as much as the people he is interviewing is because 1) They know he's a good interviewers who asks good engaging questions and 2) They know that whoever he is talking to will likely be an interesting interview to listen to. Oh and on top of that he is has a fun, solid personality to go along with it which also helps. He genuinely sounds interested in what the person/people he is interviewing are saying and isn't just asking questions because he has to for his job.
Chris is the best interviewer and I'd say Simon Miller is my favorite wrestling analyst or whatever you'd call him. Both of them are professional but also pretty laid back and casual which makes them relatable and fun to listen to.
Taker called Chris the best interviewer in the business, and I think part of it is that very reason, unlike most everyone else, he lets them talk rather than making it about himself.
Both Punk and Seth are so professional to put their hatred aside to give the fans a fantastic promo segment and a fun match on the RAW Netflix premiere. Respect to both men
@@Red0bullhabecause hes actually good on his job people idolized him because of his talent not on his personal issues I mean Michael Jordan is an AHole but people idolizes him because he is the GOAT in court its just really that simple lol
WWE has incorporated a couple of different Memphis-style things (for example: the piledriver being a career ender/life ruiner) and I dig it so much lol
I have no doubt there has been, and possibly (read: probably) still is, real animosity between Seth and Punk. But I love how easily they blur the lines. Is it all a shoot? Is some of it a work? Have they smoothed it over behind the scenes and are just playing it up for the storyline? All of the above? It’s impossible to tell. I love it. This is what makes pro wrestling so compelling.
That's why this storyline is so good. I can't tell what's real, what's a work. I won't be surprised if in 5, 10 years they both do an interview and say what was real
its a work. felt so random especially how ridiculously close Seth and Punk was before then suddenly Seth god mad because Punk left the company with Seth suddely getting mad with no specifics other than "he betrayed us" and he was a "cancer to his career" because he left. He stammers all the way through too.
I think Seth is glad to finally say the things he always wanted to say to Punk. He reaction when Punk made his return was legit, no one knew he was returning until the last minute.
Take some notes young bucks, you can tell Seth really feels this way but at the end of the day he's a pro and a real man who can put differences aside for business
@@MrDp115To me, I think the animosity was real at some point but they made up without anyone knowing which they can seeing as how Seth/Becky only live like 2 hrs outside of Chicago. Seth started calling Punk a cancer in like 2019 when it was rumored Punk might return to wwe back then. Then not much of anything til Punk was out of aew.
You can tell his words were real here, and make sense. Bet the dude was mad as hell and still feels the way he does about punk....but it's about professionalism, both of them can still work a match and overact feelings to please a crowd. There's no walking away from the contract and the money, that thank you was probably for the good match and putting middle-aged punk over. "Thank you for making us both millions"
I have a strong feeling that this is a work, but Seth is so good at making things feel like a shoot and really making us believe. Extremely underrated performer
When Punk returned in Chicago, the fan cams really showed Seth lost his temper. It was genuine, you cannot fake this. Nobody knew and he lost it. The angle was just too good to simply ignore at that point.
I respect how even though Seth Rollins genuinely doesn't like CM Punk. He's still a professional and let CM Punk win their match at the WWE Raw Netflix debut.
Everyone has said Punk did not even sign the contract until the match was underway, and Hunter just sent him out there once he signed to say "hello." So Seth's reaction was a shoot.
And half the Elite. If he had his own crew and the Fed and Elite were willing to work together this would make a hell of a 3 way War Games/Blood and Guts
For everything valid in why Seth feels the way he does, I think the biggest invalid reason is he doesn't like that through all of that CM Punk possess a power over him that he can't counter. You see at the end of this clip he's so consumed by CM Punk being able to swallow up that moment and have the ability to take the crowds excitement from 10 other guys that just laid it all in the ring and get it all for himself. This is a power that Punk has had that's been eating at Seth for the last decade. Seth's cutting a promo (CM Punk Chants), Seth's champ (CM Punk Chants), Seth has money in the bank (CM Punk Chants), Seth's in the main event (CM Punk Chants)......Seth and 9 other guys put on a spectacular war games (CM Punk returns). The fact that no matter how much he does, how good he is, how long he's been on top...that they'll always love this guy more is why CM Punk is a "cancer" to him.....
Plus, their careers mirror one another. From small Indies to ROH to WWE, Both had unique cash in MITB, except Punk had 2, similar number championships, except Punk had one of the longest. Second City Savior/Straight Edge Society vs Monday Night Messiah and both had disciples. Both married a female wrestler who was on top of her game. Both Midwest kids. Parallels are crazy
Seeing how his match on Jan 6th was booked, I kinda agree with him. That was a golden opportunity to turn him heel and give him a dirty win against Punk. Just imagine the following: Punk wins the Rumble, Seth wins the Elimination Chamber WHC match after a heel turn. You then get the final chapter of these guys at 'Mania. Gunther doesn't need the title to retire Goldberg at 'Mania. Retiring Goldberg keeps him relevant anyway.
They can still turn Seth heel buddy? There’s a long time between this storyline it isn’t over. I 100 percent can tell this is going to wrestlemania. Since there kinda hinting John cena will be in the rumble and elimination chamber. So can easily ave this feud go to wrestlemania
@@BigFresh37 I'm the biggest mark for Punk out there, but shit like this is embarrassing. Seth has had outstanding matches, wrestlemania or otherwise, and could certainly put on a clinic with another superstar like Punk. However, it's been made clear at this point that the initial plan was to have the Rock involved in some sort of main event match. Based on recent events, it seems like that has fallen through and WWE had to scramble to come up with a big money match. Cody and Cena are all but locked for the WWE title, which leaves Roman and Punk (the two biggest active roster draws rn) to fill in the gaps. Had Rock returned and faced Cody, Cena and Roman likely would've main evented for the WHC OR Seth and Punk for the WHC.
Are they really doing Goldberg vs Gunther at Mania? That’s fuckin cool! Damn they know how to draw me back in. 😆 I think the biggest matches they have are Brock/Gunther, Rock/Roman, Gunther/Rock … idk Anyway I really liked Goldberg vs Roman for as short as it was.
They HAD beef. They are ok now. They’re just using their past beef to create a great storyline. Believe me they have sat down, spoken like men and have sorted it out with each other. In fact that’s the only reason this angle is even happening.
Or you are assuming a whole lot. You can go far to say whatever is going on behind the scenes is contained right now. Now to say it’s mutual for both sides, and both hugged it out and sang together isn’t the only reality that could have transpired. There is another reality in which WWE has cracked down hard over the two working each other without them “sitting down speaking like men and sorting their gripes”. Remediation/concession rather than full absolution.
@@YourThoughtsOnThis True, just watch mondays match & study the moves. Punk even hid his face and whispered something to Seth after the pin...they're definitely on the same page. Agreed, they're not gonna send each other Christmas or Valentines cards, but they are ok to work.
I think it's very clear the Punk and Rollins buried the hatchet and are on much better terms. But I love how they are keeping kayfabe alive with this fued.
At least somebody gets it lol...I don't even think the beef ever got that bad at all either...Seth was always working on the off chance this opportunity came around, because he's one hell of a pro wrestler and knows that's how you make shit happen
Same, I thought this was gunna be a kayfabe interview because I know punk brought him up into the main roster and they both came from RoH....didn't expect all these truths about what happened, and glad to finally him say why he got so worked up about his return. But in the end they took it to the ring and made money like pro's, and I'm happy they did. I love AEW too but I don't see that kind of professionalism there....just a bunch of missed opportunity at making money
He's working here. Almost had me believing this was a shoot. I knew it was a work when he started talking about how Punk coming out at Survivor Series was a selfish moment orchestrated by Punk. By multiple accounts, Punk had no idea what the plan was. Everything was thrown together at the last possible minute. Punk didn't even have a CONTRACT 2 hours before the event. Punk himself even said that he was yelling at HHH in Gorilla right before Punk had to go through the curtain, asking him what he was supposed to do, and HHH told him to just run out there. Nice job by both guys. Great match and these two can work the mic.
It amazes me how much Chris is able to get out of his interviewees, which is a credit to him, because he always knows exactly when to ask questions, when to stay silent, what questions to ask, he is everything you would want in a professional interviewer. Wrestling fans love to debate who's on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling, but nobody really talks about the Mount Rushmore of wrestling journalism. I honestly think Chris deserves a spot on that list.
I agree with everything that Seth said in this clip about Punk. When Punk said that he almost wasted his career in WWE. That was a slap in the face to all his fans that spent their hard earned money to go take time out of their day to see him perform. Punk wanted to destroy WWE for his selfish reasons back in 2014 and he buried Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Seth, Roman, Steph, Vince, and others for no reason. Ryback I get cause it’s Ryback.
I love this comment section because it proves why this feud is so great, everybody has a different point of view and no guy is 100% in the right. That what makes characters complex and story to be more entertaining.
I do worry though if this feud will stray away moving forward, ie “Seth just goes full psychopath and you are supposed to not like him”. Time will tell
People believing this shit is actual hatred is wrong, but it's perfectly fine they keep doing so...because it's pro wrestling and kayfabe and that's always a beautiful thing...when the idiots believe the things these grimy ass people say out here in the real world, to the point their unbridled gullibility screws us all in the process, that's what actually blows lol
Why wasn't any of this in that promo? My God had he spoken the way he did right now, their exchange of words would have been legendary instead of just good.
Rollins seems to get really tribal when any former WWE wrestler returns. It was like this with Cody was well. He doesn't seem to understand that not everyone for the opportunities he received and had to leave due to their treatment or lack of a push. Rollins needs to grow up and look beyond his WWE bubble.
With Cody, it wasn't personal lol. Seth wished him a happy birthday and threw a little party for him back then. Unlike Punk, Cody never really talked bad about WWE
I'd be pissed if a guy who I worked with got fired then proceeded to shit on my work and everything I put my heart and soul into like it was nothing....and then is welcomed back like a conquering hero. I kinda used to be on the fence about him, but I get where he's coming from.
This is a work and I am not even mad about it. I prefer when Chris interviews for real, but in this case since Seth is an active wrestler I am okay with him letting him run with it.
Seth legit didn't like Riddle but he worked with him and really dislikes Punk but works with him. Seth is the consummate professional, but I wonder if he just doesn't legit like a lot of people lol.
I think he has a squirky personality and is a company above everything guy. If you contribute to the company, we´re friends if not, I don´t know you Remember that twitter war saying he earned more than the indy guys when he was an indy guy himself
Excellent segment of the interview. I can finally hear Seth's side of the argument which I can see why it has created a grudge against Punk. Shame they used to be friends and that's how it is now. But hey they can work together which is just grand.
@gshoots4357 nah people like you will find any reason to say that. You look like you're searching for people who got "worked". It's simply natural for someone to put genuine feelings into entertainment. Nobody was calling anything he did a shoot promo or that they have real beef now. But CM punk did try to take WWE down and some people felt some type of way and had something to say
@@Mashu_achbard Don't be silly, There is no way these guys didn't have a sit down and sort their issues out before having such a long extended programme, if they hated that each other then they wouldn't have worked together, ala the rock refusing to work shawn or austin refusing to work JJ and hogan they would of known what the other was about to say in promo's so they could reply in kind, make it flow and hit the time stamps needed, you could even see punk lean into seth at the end of the match on raw to what I guess was a thank you for seth putting him over........ stop being so salty
@@asfi1023of course it’s a work. There WAS real beef. Now there isn’t. They are using their past beef to make a great story that’s it. Trust me they have sat down to speak and sorted things out.
Rollins always gets me with stuff like this. He has the narrative in his head that he's a team player and anyone who left WWE isn't, but what he fails to realise is that he was and probably still is 100% protected by the company be it HHH or Nick Khan he's never been in danger of getting released or creative have nothing for him some guys need to leave do their own thing so that when they come back the company sees them in a different light.
I mean Vince was raping and they all knew it. Stone Cold left because Vince the rapist was overworking his guys it never changed no one cared for the people who sacrifice their bodies
I 100% understand Seth's views after this interview. And I agree with him as well. Especially the point about Punk not even liking Triple H back then either, even though Punk now says he just a had a problem with Vince, but that's definitely not the case if you've heard his past interviews
I got back into wrestling 3 years ago, and hated both CM Punk and Seth Rollins. I couldn't understand the height behind them. After that last promo and match, I now love these guys.
@ well it could be Seth has buried the hatchet but is working to hype the feud. Also I’m not sure Punk and Graves are close friends again or if Graves is playing nice and acting professionally.
Yet, he won't blame Nick Khan and Triple H for Punk coming back in Chicago??? Kayfabe or real feelings here??? It was Khan's idea to reach out to Punk.
There are severe mental gymnastic problems with those who have heard CM Punk's reasons for leaving and don't understand them. There's boot lickers, and then there are those who could lick the tread clean off in one swipe.
Literally nobody is buying this. The comments you're reading online are made by bots. Go watch seth and punk going at eachother and look at the people in the crowd and how uninterested they looked...
This is just a work, he is the biggest Punk fanboy, if you have seen his tweets from way back he even stated he was happy to be called a 2nd rate CM Punk and even said good things when he left WWE back then.
Triple H has said in interviews he talked to the people in the match to tell them what was going to happen at the end. I have a hard time believing Seth wasn't one of those people. In fact, him "freaking out" and having to be "held back" by Michael Cole (as if) makes me think he knew and planned that reaction because he knew they'd be in a program together. I just don't buy that Seth didn't know. Why would HHH lie about it? Or why would he tell some people in the WarGames match, but not Seth? Something doesn't add up. And Seth being upset for Randy is silly, Randy even joked about it with Punk immediately after. "You couldn't let me have 10 minutes?!" Randy says to Punk, while laughing, and then gives him a big hug and apologizes for being sweaty. So if Randy's not bothered, no one else should be. At least Punk has brought out a more serious side to Rollins instead of the weird Joker character we always get. It's hard to take him seriously when he dresses and acts like that, especially with that cackling laugh.
I think he gets defensive because he knows it was a bad look sticking with Vince. He's saying there was nowhere else to go, and yet a lot of his contemporaries went elsewhere to eventually come back. He chose not to go elsewhere, and he has to stand with his decision, but people are not wrong when they call him a company guy, because he's the definition. He chose to stay with a gross business that has started to turn itself around, but he made that choice and people are allowed to see him the way they see him.
There really weren't any options on where to go that were comparable in compensation. It's not like Punk had a pipeline for all of his buddies to keep wrestling when they left WWE. He left the business as a whole not just the company. He wanted all his friends to leave in solidarity but had no plan on how to keep them paid. And then when he did leave he started shit talking people who were his friends and tried to ruin the company in any way he could. So CM Punk has to live with people thinking he's a Cancer to every locker room he goes to because that's his track record so far as well.
@@willkavanaughExplain Cody then, left 2 years after punk and made a shit ton of money and got a whole company started off the back of his supershow (all in 1). There were other options, I don’t buy Seth’s story.
@@bainsdot Cody has his last name. In Seth's defense he doesn't have a particular legacy carrying him to another promotion. Hence why he mentioned he wasn't going to make the money he's making now anywhere else.
CM Punk vs MJF has a great storyline and CM Punk vs Seth Rollins was absolutely incredible. It’s not CM Punk’s fault that he left WWE and only most hated person in WWE is Vince cuz CM Punk hates Vince and he didn’t want to leave WWE.
I don't care if it's a work or an actual thing between them... it works and that's how it supposed to be. Wrestling was always at its height when the lines were blurred and I miss it. Seeing this makes me more invested into wrestling.
Yeah, the wallet comment. Hey, wasn't that around the time the fiend lost a hell in a cell by D'q? Seth's glazing of the company was at an all-time high.
Orton is a big name back then he don't care and not a punk friend Rillins and others still trying to make names for themselves and punk wanted them to follow him That's a true baby Punk when he got the push of his life long tittle run beating crna everytime Then get angry and quit and run away And slander the company That's a baby Punk is a hypocrite and a jerk rollins fought everytime things went south for him Unlike punk just ran away and slander everything and cry about it that's the real fact the punk cult refuse to believe
@montaigne3967 yes punk was childish at times when he was taking shots but his core reason for leaving I have no issue with and nobody else should. He was hurt and sick, the company misdiagnosed a staph infection that his own doctor said if he left it any longer he would have died. He was never given the time off to get it sorted, Vince didn't care aslong as the talent was making him money. I don't really care what wrestlers think of each other but if they can use it to create great stories and matches then thats only a bonus for us as fans. My comment was pointing out Seth being a crybaby just cus he doesn't like the guy, if it's ok with Randy why should anyone else have a problem with it? Just childish and petty
Damn bro !!! This is crazzy, Seth needs to talk more freely these promos are gonna get wild! Wear your Black Tshirt and Power Rangers gear again please!
I don't like Punk at all. The guy seems like the type who thinks he's the self-righteous rebel when really he's just an argumentive drama queen. He tried sinking the company, then left it and caused problems at every other company he went to, he tried his hand at UFC but without kayfabe to protect him he got his ass handed to him twice, now he's just walked back into WWE expecting roses at his feet while real talent like McIntyre get sacrificed so he can look the rebel.
As a diehard punk fan, I want Seth to know that there are also wrestling fans out here who understand his point of view and appreciate the work that he and everyone else who stayed in WWE did to make it a place that punk could come back to. I loved Tyler Black and Bryan Danielson and Kevin Steen and El Generico, so to see the greatest wrestlers taking over WWE was never lost on so many of us. You’re appreciated, Seth.
wow that was an amazing interview, mad respect to SETH ROLLINS, hes the man. Im more on his side than I am on CM Punk's side because Rollins, hes right at the end of the day. Love how he kept it professional but you can tell it came from a deeper place in one of the greatest promos ever. You ask good questions and dont interrupt.
@@nyteowl8069 of course it important to be good in ring, look at the guys like Shawn and Bret they're main thing wasn't promos it was in ring work. If you don't like Seth that's fine but don't say that in ring work isn't important😂😂
1:45 CM Punk pressuring his friends to quit WWE because things didn't work out for him (even though he was VERY successful) is the most CM Punk move ever. Biggest drama queen in professional wrestling.
To quote RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Monique Heart: “This is a business When you come to work, you come to work. You didn’t come to kiki, you came to a Job”. Their chemistry in the ring and in promos is amazing though. Keep it professional and don’t let your personal issues stand in the way of that check
Is he working us into a shoot or shooting us into a work? I was also hoping when Seth was at the Bears game and on the field trying to get the crowd to chant "LETS GO BEARS" that Punk would have come from the stands to attack Seth
Rollins thinking “we didn’t need him” is also making it about himself, that moment was one of the biggest most shocking moments for fans in wrestling history…
That's another reason why this story (and the Drew one) is so good, beyond just the blurring of the lines; you can sympathize with both parties. You can see where both sides are coming from.
Seth has never taken Punk’s health into consideration or actually verbalized what Punk has said himself on why he left. He’s created this narrative and whether it’s kayfabe or not, fans are believing it but its dismissing Punk’s actual reasons for leaving and how valid he was in doing so. Punk airing out his grievances was never going to bring down WWE. Seth is hella delusional and no wonder Punk ghosted you dude lol.
I feel bad cause outside of his in ring ability I’ve been critical of Seth. But hearing what he’s saying here feels real and genuine and I respect it. It also feels like there’s a chance to rebuild a burnt bridge. Seth is bang on though in saying guys were really trying after punk left but they were given complete crap to work with
He hates that fans will never care about him like Punk. People may love or hate Punk, but they care. Rollins could retire tomorrow and he would be forgotten in a year. Jealousy is a bad look.
Terrible take. Seth Rollins isn't the kind of guy you forget tomorrow. He's too intertwined into important storyline to be forgotten. Can't tell the story of the top stars without mentioning Seth's name.
@@no-yj2cf Yes you can. That's why he hates Punk. Rollins is nothing but an entrance song people like to sing. Why do you think he started to dress like an oddball? Could he screen, 'please care about me" any louder?
I think Seth didn't want accept reality that Punk was put in a situation to defend himself because of the lawsuit even though he still wants to be friends with everyone. You need to watch the Ariel Halwani interview what he said about it.
@@MrDp115 thanks I was just looking into this, he sued the wwe Dr and won for malpractice, so it's not like he just left for fun. I've noticed a recurring theme of wrestlers getting infections that become life threatening.
Conspiracy Theory: Both Seth and Punk loves each other (as friends) and maybe they planned this thing since 2013 or 2014. So all this things just planned? I wish
Seth: "we were friends he screwed me up when he left" Also Seth "I didn't feel comfortable to call him because I didnt know him that well." Seth can't sell a story.
Seth and Roman will always have real hate towards Punk, but they top tier professionals. (and understandable, bcs they were the ones, with Dean aswell, trying to navigate the big ship WWE while Punk was trying to sink it from the outside, that's why Roman and Seth will always be bigger than anyone who comes in, always) Never forget.
I need these two to have another feud. They have so much chemistry together that it would be a shame if things ended like this. They’re so entertaining on the mic and their promos are so engaging. This past Monday with their match on Raw was superb storytelling. They really sold the animosity and how draining the match was. That superplex into the GTS only for Seth to fall over back on an exhausted Punk for another GTS was chef’s kiss.
That's a strong love n hate relationship. Punk actually kissed on Rollins chest n said thank u after the 3 counts. Rollins losing to Punk is kind of paying back to the teacher.❤ Love borh of them.
5:53 Rollins nailed it perfectly. Cm punks open narcissism and the fact that millions cater to it is what is disgusting about cm punk. He needs to go away for real. If you don't believe he is a narcissist, listen to his next promo and you will hear the line " and you all chant my name" and he will hold the crowd hostage until they feed his ego by doing it.
Unfortunately for Seth and others around him, he takes himself and wrestling far too seriously. Seth should be happy Punk is back because it has legitimately brought the best out of him. Let’s face it, for most of his career, he’s never drawn a dime unless paired with a much bigger name. Grow up Seth you’re almost 40 pal!
Wow I’m surprised how honest Seth is being about the rift with Punk like man this was awesome as far as giving insight to the fans of what actually happened.
Seth needs to learn more words 😂 we know the moment he's gonna talk about Punk, cancer is gonna come out of his mouth, his promos are way too predictible
Yeah just like punk Talking about seth Clothes Wife Song For million times Punk is so predictable pal but you and his cult of morons would act like wow

I hate cm junk. He sucks as a wrestler and is wack overrated smug.
Sign David Benoit to AEW
Chris is such an awesome interviewer he actually let's people express their thoughts instead of interrupting them and asking irrelevant questions
And he never makes it about himself. Something a lot of interviewers do for some reason.
Something I WISH other interviewers would learn and takes notes from, THIS is how you conduct an interview. Letting the interviewee think about and answer your questions and then asking well thought out follow up questions in relation to the answers just given.
Too many times I hear interviewers who seem to love the sound of their own voice and want to make the interviews all about themselves and how many questions they can jam in rather than the person they're interviewing.
The reason people like Chris I would hazard a guess and enjoy him interviewing almost or as much as the people he is interviewing is because 1) They know he's a good interviewers who asks good engaging questions and 2) They know that whoever he is talking to will likely be an interesting interview to listen to. Oh and on top of that he is has a fun, solid personality to go along with it which also helps. He genuinely sounds interested in what the person/people he is interviewing are saying and isn't just asking questions because he has to for his job.
Chris is the best interviewer and I'd say Simon Miller is my favorite wrestling analyst or whatever you'd call him. Both of them are professional but also pretty laid back and casual which makes them relatable and fun to listen to.
Taker called Chris the best interviewer in the business, and I think part of it is that very reason, unlike most everyone else, he lets them talk rather than making it about himself.
💯
Both Punk and Seth are so professional to put their hatred aside to give the fans a fantastic promo segment and a fun match on the RAW Netflix premiere. Respect to both men
I think it's more of a Edge v Jeff moment where there's a real animosity and corporate made it to the screen
Half right edge Vs Matt
This whole thing interview is a work
I honestly think Punk said the truth a few weeks ago. Seth hated him, he didn't care. It looks like it was as real as it gets.
I genuinely don't believe in this feud at all... Punk seems disinterested and Rollins is forcing this "hatred" with his annoying yelling in promos
I respect both guys for being professional and not letting personal stuff in the way of a big angle.
They were professional but there was definitely some stiff shots by both men during their match

That's why this storyline is so good. I can't tell what's real, what's a work. I won't be surprised if in 5, 10 years they both do an interview and say what was real

There's no walking away from the contract and the money, that thank you was probably for the good match and putting middle-aged punk over. "Thank you for making us both millions"
You seen or heard him actually say that or you assuming bc he moved his mouth out of view for 2 seconds😂
If you think he really hates Punk then Seth did his job rather well lol@CryptixFTW
@@CryptixFTWbro it’s a work
@@alexmiller2554nah... not this one.
I have a strong feeling that this is a work, but Seth is so good at making things feel like a shoot and really making us believe. Extremely underrated performer
When Punk returned in Chicago, the fan cams really showed Seth lost his temper. It was genuine, you cannot fake this. Nobody knew and he lost it. The angle was just too good to simply ignore at that point.
Lol this is just him being real dude. This is a podcast. You wrestling fans are wild.
Ofc it is
@@sportsbettingeducationikr, kids nowadays tells everything is fake. Lmao
Ya think...
I respect how even though Seth Rollins genuinely doesn't like CM Punk. He's still a professional and let CM Punk win their match at the WWE Raw Netflix debut.
Professional wrestling for a reason
I don’t think it was up to him, HHH made the decision
Lol, let, would he take his ball and go home otherwise?
@@kirktuss4819 😂 very true
Well wasn't like Seth decided the outcome of the match, it was Paul Levesque. Seth just followed marching orders.
They got Chris working us now 😂
Right?!?! Dude this is sooo good!
Grow up. They hate each other
@@Yifeng-rn4ov 🤣🤣🤣 Love that you are telling someone who understands Keyfabe to grow up
Still waiting for Chris Van Vliet to step into the dojo and interview Steve Blackman
@@Yifeng-rn4ovit’s more like Seth hates punk, and punk doesn’t really care or think about Seth beyond work
Him saying he didn't know Punk was gonna be at survivor series proves this is a work. We know he knew
Of course it's a fucking work. It's pro wrestling. Trying to blur the line in 2025 is nearly impossible. So it leads to interviews like this.
And how do you know?
@@eyelessnosea1413 You're a fool if you think anything pro wrestling related within a storyline isn't a work
Everyone has said Punk did not even sign the contract until the match was underway, and Hunter just sent him out there once he signed to say "hello." So Seth's reaction was a shoot.
Do you mean unblur? @@x2xtreme360
Kinda something how Punk managed to personally piss off every member of the Shield. He got Ambrose in AEW.
to be fair, he personally pissed off half of every roster.
And half the Elite. If he had his own crew and the Fed and Elite were willing to work together this would make a hell of a 3 way War Games/Blood and Guts
Tbf, Moxley just isn't very smart and has a hard time understanding things. He probably got worked into being angry at Punk.
That's what happens when an big ego meets a bigger ego
@oelboy I still don't understand what happened there between them and I feel like Punk and Mox are leaving out details
It feels like an older brother letting down their younger brother. It doesn't sound like real hate. More like hurt
That’s why this feud will be special. 💯
For everything valid in why Seth feels the way he does, I think the biggest invalid reason is he doesn't like that through all of that CM Punk possess a power over him that he can't counter.
You see at the end of this clip he's so consumed by CM Punk being able to swallow up that moment and have the ability to take the crowds excitement from 10 other guys that just laid it all in the ring and get it all for himself. This is a power that Punk has had that's been eating at Seth for the last decade. Seth's cutting a promo (CM Punk Chants), Seth's champ (CM Punk Chants), Seth has money in the bank (CM Punk Chants), Seth's in the main event (CM Punk Chants)......Seth and 9 other guys put on a spectacular war games (CM Punk returns).
The fact that no matter how much he does, how good he is, how long he's been on top...that they'll always love this guy more is why CM Punk is a "cancer" to him.....
Nice summary
Wow! Eloquently put🎉
Plus, their careers mirror one another. From small Indies to ROH to WWE, Both had unique cash in MITB, except Punk had 2, similar number championships, except Punk had one of the longest. Second City Savior/Straight Edge Society vs Monday Night Messiah and both had disciples. Both married a female wrestler who was on top of her game. Both Midwest kids. Parallels are crazy
Wow! Wow !! Wow!!! You couldn’t have said it better Sir… Very well Narrated
What is funny, is that if Seth didn't act so offended towards Punk, people never would have taunted him with the chants.
It’s nice to see them both putting hate aside, and doing business. Hope some day they can squash the beef but I doubt it
Seeing how his match on Jan 6th was booked, I kinda agree with him.
That was a golden opportunity to turn him heel and give him a dirty win against Punk. Just imagine the following: Punk wins the Rumble, Seth wins the Elimination Chamber WHC match after a heel turn. You then get the final chapter of these guys at 'Mania.
Gunther doesn't need the title to retire Goldberg at 'Mania. Retiring Goldberg keeps him relevant anyway.
Punk the man Kid 😎
They can still turn Seth heel buddy? There’s a long time between this storyline it isn’t over. I 100 percent can tell this is going to wrestlemania. Since there kinda hinting John cena will be in the rumble and elimination chamber. So can easily ave this feud go to wrestlemania
We don’t need Punk/Seth at Mania. Seth isn’t at the level for that.
@@BigFresh37 I'm the biggest mark for Punk out there, but shit like this is embarrassing. Seth has had outstanding matches, wrestlemania or otherwise, and could certainly put on a clinic with another superstar like Punk. However, it's been made clear at this point that the initial plan was to have the Rock involved in some sort of main event match. Based on recent events, it seems like that has fallen through and WWE had to scramble to come up with a big money match. Cody and Cena are all but locked for the WWE title, which leaves Roman and Punk (the two biggest active roster draws rn) to fill in the gaps. Had Rock returned and faced Cody, Cena and Roman likely would've main evented for the WHC OR Seth and Punk for the WHC.
Are they really doing Goldberg vs Gunther at Mania? That’s fuckin cool! Damn they know how to draw me back in. 😆
I think the biggest matches they have are Brock/Gunther, Rock/Roman, Gunther/Rock … idk
Anyway I really liked Goldberg vs Roman for as short as it was.
They HAD beef. They are ok now. They’re just using their past beef to create a great storyline. Believe me they have sat down, spoken like men and have sorted it out with each other. In fact that’s the only reason this angle is even happening.
Student and Master at work and its beautiful to watch.
Or you are assuming a whole lot. You can go far to say whatever is going on behind the scenes is contained right now.
Now to say it’s mutual for both sides, and both hugged it out and sang together isn’t the only reality that could have transpired. There is another reality in which WWE has cracked down hard over the two working each other without them “sitting down speaking like men and sorting their gripes”. Remediation/concession rather than full absolution.
Thank God you're here to tell us
@@ray2005 I’m not saying they sat down and sang kumbaya, I’m saying they are now civil at the very least. 2 completely different things.
@@YourThoughtsOnThis True, just watch mondays match & study the moves. Punk even hid his face and whispered something to Seth after the pin...they're definitely on the same page. Agreed, they're not gonna send each other Christmas or Valentines cards, but they are ok to work.
Respect to both men for being professional. Mad respect for all Seth does in the company.
I think it's very clear the Punk and Rollins buried the hatchet and are on much better terms. But I love how they are keeping kayfabe alive with this fued.
agree, I know that their feud isn't finished so we're in for more of a treat
What kayfabe?
In what way is it clear they buried the hatchet 💀💀y’all just say anything
At least somebody gets it lol...I don't even think the beef ever got that bad at all either...Seth was always working on the off chance this opportunity came around, because he's one hell of a pro wrestler and knows that's how you make shit happen
keeps the fans going 😅😅
I'm way more of a CM Punk fan than I ever was or will be of Seth Rollins, but can't deny some of the cold hard truth he says about him here.
Same, I thought this was gunna be a kayfabe interview because I know punk brought him up into the main roster and they both came from RoH....didn't expect all these truths about what happened, and glad to finally him say why he got so worked up about his return. But in the end they took it to the ring and made money like pro's, and I'm happy they did. I love AEW too but I don't see that kind of professionalism there....just a bunch of missed opportunity at making money
He's working here. Almost had me believing this was a shoot.
I knew it was a work when he started talking about how Punk coming out at Survivor Series was a selfish moment orchestrated by Punk.
By multiple accounts, Punk had no idea what the plan was. Everything was thrown together at the last possible minute. Punk didn't even have a CONTRACT 2 hours before the event.
Punk himself even said that he was yelling at HHH in Gorilla right before Punk had to go through the curtain, asking him what he was supposed to do, and HHH told him to just run out there.
Nice job by both guys. Great match and these two can work the mic.
It amazes me how much Chris is able to get out of his interviewees, which is a credit to him, because he always knows exactly when to ask questions, when to stay silent, what questions to ask, he is everything you would want in a professional interviewer.
Wrestling fans love to debate who's on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling, but nobody really talks about the Mount Rushmore of wrestling journalism. I honestly think Chris deserves a spot on that list.
I agree that Punk coming out after the Wargames match kinda overhadowed Randy's comeback but it was awesome to see those guys back, as well as R-Truth
I agree with everything that Seth said in this clip about Punk. When Punk said that he almost wasted his career in WWE. That was a slap in the face to all his fans that spent their hard earned money to go take time out of their day to see him perform. Punk wanted to destroy WWE for his selfish reasons back in 2014 and he buried Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Seth, Roman, Steph, Vince, and others for no reason. Ryback I get cause it’s Ryback.
Always bury Ryback. Thats never a bad thing.
I love that they're keeping this thing going. That's when wrestling is at it's best when you don't know what's real and what's a work.
I love this comment section because it proves why this feud is so great, everybody has a different point of view and no guy is 100% in the right. That what makes characters complex and story to be more entertaining.
Y'all gotta be bots lol no way you people are actually being foreal with these exaggerated comments.
I do worry though if this feud will stray away moving forward, ie “Seth just goes full psychopath and you are supposed to not like him”. Time will tell
People believing this shit is actual hatred is wrong, but it's perfectly fine they keep doing so...because it's pro wrestling and kayfabe and that's always a beautiful thing...when the idiots believe the things these grimy ass people say out here in the real world, to the point their unbridled gullibility screws us all in the process, that's what actually blows lol
Such a strong character development moment for Seth to say he considered Punk a friend before he left. Betrayal never comes from your enemies.
Why wasn't any of this in that promo? My God had he spoken the way he did right now, their exchange of words would have been legendary instead of just good.
Rollins seems to get really tribal when any former WWE wrestler returns. It was like this with Cody was well. He doesn't seem to understand that not everyone for the opportunities he received and had to leave due to their treatment or lack of a push. Rollins needs to grow up and look beyond his WWE bubble.
I love seth but he's the one responsible for roman reigns being a bad guy for a long time. Why on earth he doesnt see that?
With Cody, it wasn't personal lol. Seth wished him a happy birthday and threw a little party for him back then. Unlike Punk, Cody never really talked bad about WWE
@@RainSennin_ismyAlt it was an issue Seth had when Cody first returned to the WWE.
@@CCEkeke I believe you got worked by them. You remember Seth's reaction to Cody returning? Laughing. His reaction to Punk returning? 🤬🖕🖕
You're getting worked brother
I'd be pissed if a guy who I worked with got fired then proceeded to shit on my work and everything I put my heart and soul into like it was nothing....and then is welcomed back like a conquering hero. I kinda used to be on the fence about him, but I get where he's coming from.
This whole interview is a work and I fucking love it
At least he’s explaining why. I never understood until now
Same
This is a work and I am not even mad about it. I prefer when Chris interviews for real, but in this case since Seth is an active wrestler I am okay with him letting him run with it.
Seth legit didn't like Riddle but he worked with him and really dislikes Punk but works with him. Seth is the consummate professional, but I wonder if he just doesn't legit like a lot of people lol.
Which is great tbf.
I think he has a squirky personality and is a company above everything guy.
If you contribute to the company, we´re friends if not, I don´t know you
Remember that twitter war saying he earned more than the indy guys when he was an indy guy himself
Excellent segment of the interview. I can finally hear Seth's side of the argument which I can see why it has created a grudge against Punk. Shame they used to be friends and that's how it is now. But hey they can work together which is just grand.
Damn Seth Rollins is in his era. This is so real for him
I wish I was that naive again, you got worked brother
@gshoots4357 nah people like you will find any reason to say that. You look like you're searching for people who got "worked". It's simply natural for someone to put genuine feelings into entertainment. Nobody was calling anything he did a shoot promo or that they have real beef now. But CM punk did try to take WWE down and some people felt some type of way and had something to say
@@Mashu_achbard Don't be silly, There is no way these guys didn't have a sit down and sort their issues out before having such a long extended programme, if they hated that each other then they wouldn't have worked together, ala the rock refusing to work shawn or austin refusing to work JJ and hogan
they would of known what the other was about to say in promo's so they could reply in kind, make it flow and hit the time stamps needed,
you could even see punk lean into seth at the end of the match on raw to what I guess was a thank you for seth putting him over........ stop being so salty
Punk isn’t the only one who left he’s just envious ppl chanted punk name while he was gone and even louder when he came back
I would say his sense of fashion is a cancer to his career but to each their own.
Stop it 😂😂😂😂
Damn fine clip right here.
Honestly this clip is better than anything Seth has said to punk on tv
Punk and Rollins working everybody and its working
Bro, he was talking for almost 7 minutes non stop with details on why he don't like CM Punk , no way this is a work .
@@asfi1023of course it’s a work. There WAS real beef. Now there isn’t. They are using their past beef to make a great story that’s it. Trust me they have sat down to speak and sorted things out.
@@YourThoughtsOnThis yeah you're probably right , but atleast those feelings were real at some point.
Rollins always gets me with stuff like this. He has the narrative in his head that he's a team player and anyone who left WWE isn't, but what he fails to realise is that he was and probably still is 100% protected by the company be it HHH or Nick Khan he's never been in danger of getting released or creative have nothing for him some guys need to leave do their own thing so that when they come back the company sees them in a different light.
Work or not Rollins makes a good point about Punk getting unnecessarily shitty about people not leaving WWE when he did.
I mean Vince was raping and they all knew it. Stone Cold left because Vince the rapist was overworking his guys it never changed no one cared for the people who sacrifice their bodies
lol at Seth calling Punk a troll when that’s exactly what he was on Twitter for a long time.
lol at making stuff up punk never go “shitty” with people for not leaving wwe
@TenshinhanIsKing except he did
@ when and who?
I 100% understand Seth's views after this interview. And I agree with him as well. Especially the point about Punk not even liking Triple H back then either, even though Punk now says he just a had a problem with Vince, but that's definitely not the case if you've heard his past interviews
Punk is here to make money and Rollins said bet!
Hope they lead up to a Mania match!
I got back into wrestling 3 years ago, and hated both CM Punk and Seth Rollins. I couldn't understand the height behind them. After that last promo and match, I now love these guys.
When you think about what Seth is truly saying, it's not practical. Keeping kayfabe alive brother. Love it Chris.

Yeah, those two have had issues, but Corey and Punk buried the hatchet. At this point, Seth’s just whining and whining.

I don't know how shoot this is but this is the realest thing ever out of Seth Rollins. Respect
Thank you for saying this, this is the most genuine I've ever heard Seth Rollin speak, which says a lot about how he presents himself.

They say Kayfabe is dead and everyone in the comments proves otherwise
Cause Seth actually hates him
@@weweighem2732 I'd he hated him, he'd over never let him go over
Spot on.
Dude The whole Wrestling community in WWE and AEW was extremely disappointed in punk after Brawl Out. Then Punk did it again at All in
Yet, he won't blame Nick Khan and Triple H for Punk coming back in Chicago??? Kayfabe or real feelings here??? It was Khan's idea to reach out to Punk.
He can’t do anything about it at the end of the day he just another employee
There are severe mental gymnastic problems with those who have heard CM Punk's reasons for leaving and don't understand them. There's boot lickers, and then there are those who could lick the tread clean off in one swipe.
These guys have got everyone fooled & will put on one hell of a fued
Literally nobody is buying this. The comments you're reading online are made by bots. Go watch seth and punk going at eachother and look at the people in the crowd and how uninterested they looked...
Amazing how wrestlers can still blur the lines.
This is just a work, he is the biggest Punk fanboy, if you have seen his tweets from way back he even stated he was happy to be called a 2nd rate CM Punk and even said good things when he left WWE back then.
Triple H has said in interviews he talked to the people in the match to tell them what was going to happen at the end. I have a hard time believing Seth wasn't one of those people. In fact, him "freaking out" and having to be "held back" by Michael Cole (as if) makes me think he knew and planned that reaction because he knew they'd be in a program together. I just don't buy that Seth didn't know. Why would HHH lie about it? Or why would he tell some people in the WarGames match, but not Seth? Something doesn't add up.
And Seth being upset for Randy is silly, Randy even joked about it with Punk immediately after. "You couldn't let me have 10 minutes?!" Randy says to Punk, while laughing, and then gives him a big hug and apologizes for being sweaty. So if Randy's not bothered, no one else should be.
At least Punk has brought out a more serious side to Rollins instead of the weird Joker character we always get. It's hard to take him seriously when he dresses and acts like that, especially with that cackling laugh.
I think he gets defensive because he knows it was a bad look sticking with Vince. He's saying there was nowhere else to go, and yet a lot of his contemporaries went elsewhere to eventually come back. He chose not to go elsewhere, and he has to stand with his decision, but people are not wrong when they call him a company guy, because he's the definition. He chose to stay with a gross business that has started to turn itself around, but he made that choice and people are allowed to see him the way they see him.
There really weren't any options on where to go that were comparable in compensation. It's not like Punk had a pipeline for all of his buddies to keep wrestling when they left WWE. He left the business as a whole not just the company. He wanted all his friends to leave in solidarity but had no plan on how to keep them paid. And then when he did leave he started shit talking people who were his friends and tried to ruin the company in any way he could. So CM Punk has to live with people thinking he's a Cancer to every locker room he goes to because that's his track record so far as well.
@@willkavanaughExplain Cody then, left 2 years after punk and made a shit ton of money and got a whole company started off the back of his supershow (all in 1). There were other options, I don’t buy Seth’s story.
@@bainsdot Cody has his last name. In Seth's defense he doesn't have a particular legacy carrying him to another promotion. Hence why he mentioned he wasn't going to make the money he's making now anywhere else.

Seth gets offended for other peoples gripes, what a baby. Orton had no issues with it so him bringing that up is quite petty.
Orton is a big name back then he don't care and not a punk friend

Unlike punk just ran away and slander everything and cry about it that's the real fact the punk cult refuse to believe
@montaigne3967 yes punk was childish at times when he was taking shots but his core reason for leaving I have no issue with and nobody else should. He was hurt and sick, the company misdiagnosed a staph infection that his own doctor said if he left it any longer he would have died. He was never given the time off to get it sorted, Vince didn't care aslong as the talent was making him money. I don't really care what wrestlers think of each other but if they can use it to create great stories and matches then thats only a bonus for us as fans. My comment was pointing out Seth being a crybaby just cus he doesn't like the guy, if it's ok with Randy why should anyone else have a problem with it? Just childish and petty

He tried sinking the company, then left it and caused problems at every other company he went to, he tried his hand at UFC but without kayfabe to protect him he got his ass handed to him twice, now he's just walked back into WWE expecting roses at his feet while real talent like McIntyre get sacrificed so he can look the rebel.

@@VeenyJ Suck him just a bit harder, I'm sure he likes it 🤣.
As a diehard punk fan, I want Seth to know that there are also wrestling fans out here who understand his point of view and appreciate the work that he and everyone else who stayed in WWE did to make it a place that punk could come back to. I loved Tyler Black and Bryan Danielson and Kevin Steen and El Generico, so to see the greatest wrestlers taking over WWE was never lost on so many of us. You’re appreciated, Seth.
1:50 Eh, forget that deadly staph infection that was being ignored, it was Punk's feelings that were truly in pain.
Disagree, but right now sounds like your feelings are in pain
wow that was an amazing interview, mad respect to SETH ROLLINS, hes the man. Im more on his side than I am on CM Punk's side because Rollins, hes right at the end of the day. Love how he kept it professional but you can tell it came from a deeper place in one of the greatest promos ever. You ask good questions and dont interrupt.
Seth is the guy who works with the guy who draws the money. He has never been the draw
So true lol.
Best in the ring btw....
True, Seth is alright at best
@@Odjeisk If being best in the ring meant shit, Hulk Hogan wouldnt have been such a huge draw. I wouldnt call Punk an in ring technician either.
@@nyteowl8069 of course it important to be good in ring, look at the guys like Shawn and Bret they're main thing wasn't promos it was in ring work. If you don't like Seth that's fine but don't say that in ring work isn't important😂😂
I fully don't beleive a solid 60% of what he is saying is real. But what makes Seth so good is i have no idea what that 60% is.
1:45 CM Punk pressuring his friends to quit WWE because things didn't work out for him (even though he was VERY successful) is the most CM Punk move ever. Biggest drama queen in professional wrestling.
Its partly how his friendship with Colt Cabana ended
Punk def ghosted his friends, but I doubt he asked them to quit so they go back to $500 a night doing indies😂😂
Well...he almost died so of course he wants his friends to leave...
To quote RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Monique Heart: “This is a business When you come to work, you come to work. You didn’t come to kiki, you came to a Job”.
Their chemistry in the ring and in promos is amazing though. Keep it professional and don’t let your personal issues stand in the way of that check
Is he working us into a shoot or shooting us into a work? I was also hoping when Seth was at the Bears game and on the field trying to get the crowd to chant "LETS GO BEARS" that Punk would have come from the stands to attack Seth
Rollins thinking “we didn’t need him” is also making it about himself, that moment was one of the biggest most shocking moments for fans in wrestling history…
He basically says he thought it should have been about Randy’s return from injury.
"Yea he told you to quit Twitter, so what?"

@@CarlitosLozoya You clearly don't. Have you ever been in it?
That's another reason why this story (and the Drew one) is so good, beyond just the blurring of the lines; you can sympathize with both parties. You can see where both sides are coming from.
Seth has never taken Punk’s health into consideration or actually verbalized what Punk has said himself on why he left. He’s created this narrative and whether it’s kayfabe or not, fans are believing it but its dismissing Punk’s actual reasons for leaving and how valid he was in doing so. Punk airing out his grievances was never going to bring down WWE. Seth is hella delusional and no wonder Punk ghosted you dude lol.
I feel bad cause outside of his in ring ability I’ve been critical of Seth. But hearing what he’s saying here feels real and genuine and I respect it. It also feels like there’s a chance to rebuild a burnt bridge. Seth is bang on though in saying guys were really trying after punk left but they were given complete crap to work with
He hates that fans will never care about him like Punk. People may love or hate Punk, but they care. Rollins could retire tomorrow and he would be forgotten in a year. Jealousy is a bad look.

@@no-yj2cf Yes you can. That's why he hates Punk. Rollins is nothing but an entrance song people like to sing. Why do you think he started to dress like an oddball? Could he screen, 'please care about me" any louder?

After all they've been through, I really hope they can make real peace.
I think Seth didn't want accept reality that Punk was put in a situation to defend himself because of the lawsuit even though he still wants to be friends with everyone. You need to watch the Ariel Halwani interview what he said about it.
Seth is such a legend, I appreciate how he keeps his composure and professionalism. Plus his passion resonates with fans.
Does Rollins just refuse to acknowledge the staph infection?
There's alot of deeper elements that both sides won't acknowledge. Seth is definitely a corporate tool more than Punk but Punk can also be an a$$hole.
and the lawsuit?
What staph infection?
@ShipMonster Punk had legitimate health issues when he left
@@MrDp115 thanks I was just looking into this, he sued the wwe Dr and won for malpractice, so it's not like he just left for fun. I've noticed a recurring theme of wrestlers getting infections that become life threatening.

man I wish they would have gone that far but Punk himself didnt think he would ever come back.
i love how wwe have mastered the art of realism and kayfabe
Seth: "we were friends he screwed me up when he left"
Also Seth
"I didn't feel comfortable to call him because I didnt know him that well."
Seth can't sell a story.
Seth and Roman will always have real hate towards Punk, but they top tier professionals. (and understandable, bcs they were the ones, with Dean aswell, trying to navigate the big ship WWE while Punk was trying to sink it from the outside, that's why Roman and Seth will always be bigger than anyone who comes in, always)
Never forget.
Their not bigger then Punk, this man had people chanting his name for 10yrs, they will not do that for Roman and definitely not for Seth.
I need these two to have another feud. They have so much chemistry together that it would be a shame if things ended like this. They’re so entertaining on the mic and their promos are so engaging. This past Monday with their match on Raw was superb storytelling. They really sold the animosity and how draining the match was. That superplex into the GTS only for Seth to fall over back on an exhausted Punk for another GTS was chef’s kiss.
That's a strong love n hate relationship. Punk actually kissed on Rollins chest n said thank u after the 3 counts. Rollins losing to Punk is kind of paying back to the teacher.❤ Love borh of them.
5:53 Rollins nailed it perfectly. Cm punks open narcissism and the fact that millions cater to it is what is disgusting about cm punk. He needs to go away for real. If you don't believe he is a narcissist, listen to his next promo and you will hear the line " and you all chant my name" and he will hold the crowd hostage until they feed his ego by doing it.
I seem to recall fans chanting his name either without him being there or asking for it.
Punk almost died from a staph infection that was being ignored by WWE staff, ignoring that fact as one of his reasons for leaving is a problem.
@LastSunrise1981 Nostalgia is a sicknesses bro.
@@edgar22452 Depends on the nostalgia my friend. As a whole there's nothing wrong with fond memories of a wrestler, band, film, or comic book.
@@LastSunrise1981 He's not a draw
Monday night Rollins will forever be better than prime Punk
Unfortunately for Seth and others around him, he takes himself and wrestling far too seriously. Seth should be happy Punk is back because it has legitimately brought the best out of him. Let’s face it, for most of his career, he’s never drawn a dime unless paired with a much bigger name. Grow up Seth you’re almost 40 pal!
Man, Seth is so good at keeping it going.
Wow I’m surprised how honest Seth is being about the rift with Punk like man this was awesome as far as giving insight to the fans of what actually happened.
Seth needs to learn more words 😂 we know the moment he's gonna talk about Punk, cancer is gonna come out of his mouth, his promos are way too predictible
he did add in parasite. So he learnt an extra word today
Yeah just like punk
Talking about seth
Clothes
Wife
Song
For million times
Punk is so predictable pal but you and his cult of morons would act like wow
