@@newworldorder568 Yes! If Tony would've just learn on how to properly become a boss and control his own company, all of this wouldn't have happened in the first place.
@jessedeleon4123 you mean egos and drama from the Bucks, Hangman Adam Page, Chris Jericho, Jack Perry and even Moxley to a degree, with Tony Khan having no spine whatsoever. CM Punk was the only reasonable person in that locker room
Absolutely. To me this is equal to the Edge moment at the Royal Rumble. But unfortunately the Edge moment has some idiot going "ooooohhhj myyyyyy" over the top of it.
The crowd, the emotion, the look on his face, the music playing in the background, Chicago chanting his name. This is truly one of the greatest moments in wrestling history, i got goosebumps and even tears.
This is still AEW’s greatest moment. It produced the most viral moment in AEW history. And the production on this entrance has never been topped. The production on this made AEW look like the big leagues and they’ve never replicated anything like this since.
It’s refreshing having a commentary team that doesn’t ruin a genuinely awesome moment by simply letting the moment play itself out and just adding a few words to acknowledge the incredible event we’re all witnessing.
I was lucky enough to be in the crowd for this. I’ve been to 11 WrestleMania’s, over 200 wrestling shows in my life... and I’ve NEVER experienced an atmosphere like this before. And never will again.
@@ChrisLengyelMagic louder. First time my ears have ever actually hurt from a pop. And I was in the building for Brock’s return, among other huge pops. Never felt anything come close to this.
I still say Punk showing up that night on rampage was the "worst kept secret".. and watching on TV, it was hard to keep from screaming like crazy at the TV since my wife was already sleeping.

@@agentgrey5696 only the most based accept everyone is cringe. When you come to terms with this reality you can truly enjoy life. Sorry you arent right now
Just realized that the commentators actually keeping quiet for a minute instead of screaming "OH MY GODDDD CAN IT BEEEE" actually adds so much to the atmosphere.
When you cannot hear Punk's music, THAT POP is an Earth-destroying pop for someone who is greatly, deeply, sorely, and seriously missed. That is the one and only pop that will stand out to me.
Him and we all fans soaked every single moment of him coming out and laying down on the knees there on the ramp very well. I love how JR and everyone said absolutely nothing until he walked down the ramp. Sometimes, you don't need to mark out loudly but instead feel the moment emotionally. Here, we all felt this emotionally
Between Cult of Personality going full volume, and the crowd chanting his name, Punk's adrenaline must have been raging. There's no way you'll convince me otherwise - that crowd was LIT.

2011: CM Punk breaks the internet 2019: CM Punk breaks the internet again 2021: CM Punk breaks the internet again. 2023: CM Punk breaks the internet once again 12 years later and it's crazy
All he wanted was 1 Wrestlemania main event. But no they gave it to Bootista who hadnt wrestled in 4 years but he instantly wins the Rumble and gets that Mania main event before Punk does? Ridiculous. And lets not forget Rock vs Cena a match that was billed "once in a lifetime" but they did it two years in a row. Punk deserved a Mania main event.
Not even that, he said wanted 1 main event, which he more than deserved. 7 years later they’re about to give Roman Noodles his 6th Wrestlemania main event. Absolute clowns lmao.
2021 is peak AEW. I remember after his AEW debut the AEW Shop website went down because of multiple orders to buy his new shirt. That's how crazy it is.
This Pop was unreal! it was not only emotion, expectation, and happiness from the fans, but also heart, feelings, and passion... it was beautiful. AEW has begun a new chapter now, and only the sky is the limit!!
Notice how the commentators allowed the reaction to last by not ruining it with the "oh myyyy." They waited for a minute and a half before speaking! Let us sink in that moment loved it!
@@mdmonjurulhasansimanto876 nope.. nope.. not there yet. WWEs literally getting desperate. Super desperate infact. They need to make a bigger statement than a return to keep up now.
Dude, I don't remember when something related to wrestling had me literally turn monke in my house. I was laughing, crying, and clapping like mad. This was the best thing that happened in a looooong time and I will be forever grateful for it. It's a good time to be a wrestling fan.
Theirs literally no better way to let a wrestler debut in a wrestling company, it’s his home town, and he’s not only super over with them but with wrestling fans all over, you just let him do his thing, simple as that!!!
This never gets old, despite how it ended with AEW, this moment will live on forever. Hopefully one day we get to see them bury the hatchet so we can celebrate how great this was again.
Mark Henry’s “holy shit” when they showed the guy crying was awesome, I don’t think the people who knew this was happening had any idea the reaction would be this thunderous
This seems like a big thing people are missing, the announce team. This is why JR is the best, he knows when to lay out and let the moment speak for itself.
1:40 basically it's CM Punk who gives announcers signal that they can start talking. not to take anything away from JR, he's the best when it comes to calling big moments.
That roar is absolutely unlike anything in wrestling, ever. Maybe even in sports or entertainment. Hell, that stadium never has nor will hear anything like that again. Absolutely fucking incredible.
Tell ya bub, I am 43, been watching wrestling since the early 80's. I haven't heard a pop like that since the attitude era, and maybe of all time. Makes me wanna watch AEW!
@@wtbeecher ive been a fan since i was a a kid in the 90s . Even though ive drifted in n out. Ive always kinda kept up with it. This was one of those amazing once in a lifetime moments.

@@myyritenut Not a return, but last week he had a match where he couldn't use his theme song. The whole crowd sung it for him instead. Look up "Jericho vs MJF No Judas Entrance"
There's a reason why people love this guy. He's the guy that showed real passion for the art pro wrestling. He knows how people feel. Just like Daniel Bryan
Hey I'm an artist and I'm working hard to make it out for my fam. I think I have potential to blow up in the music industry, if someone wants to check the music. I'll really appreciate it a lot fr..
This moment is so legendary already, that people in 50 years will be coming here just to here this pop and feel this emotions again. Sooooo amazing. What a time to be alive
Bro, I been a fan since he was in ECW. I’m so mad that I didn’t watch this Live. I didn’t watch because I didn’t believe it. But I am happy as hell that he’s back.
Im not gonna lie, when I was about to watch the show, I was a nervous wreck. I was sweating, had a nervous feeling in my belly, and just was worried whether or not CM Punk was actually coming. When it finally happened, I was so relieved and excited. This is a MASSIVE AEW victory, and one it really, really needed to be finally considered wrestling's 2nd big daddy.
@@elephantman6117 It was even crazier being there. People were already nervous about him showing up at all. When the show was starting, the whole place was standing just hoping that it was gonna happen, and then the music hit and that was it. Absolutely the coolest thing I've seen in person. A great moment for professional wrestling.
Also The Young Bucks: Let's drive this company into the ground because of our inability to understand the crowd does not want anything to do with us and we are a detriment to this company... oh wait.. neither Hogan or the Bucks got that memo.. oh well.. AEW has never once ever failed to learn from history and subsequently been doomed to repeat it. In fact, they repeat most spots literally to a tee without reinvention or even an ounce of awareness.
Bro AEW is the reason I went back to wrestling , trust me bro.. Punk left around 2014 and I went with him lol WWE’s product was and still is not as good as AEW
I've heard a lot of pops in my day, but this one stands alone because of that. I thought my TV was off because I heard the CM Punk chants and then the EXPLOSION from the crowd, but didn't realize til I saw his logos popping up that the music had hit. Just a wild scene.
@@furryhippie Yeah that was definitely a big pop made me feel like a kid in the arena when Stone Cold would come in that’s a building shaking pop right there only pops I heard recently was Edge and Cena pops big enough but this was a pop that makes you love wrestling
@@voltexplayzYeah I want to know the same thing because I can’t think of one scenario where the circumstances would lead to someone getting this kind of pop in AEW again.
I was in Milwaukee the following week and we basically heard his music drop and that's it. Couldn't hear Tony interview and that was a crowd about half the size of Chicago. It was probably stupid loud.

All he wanted was 1 Wrestlemania main event. But no they gave it to Bootista who hadnt wrestled in 4 years but he instantly wins the Rumble and gets that Mania main event before Punk does? Ridiculous. And lets not forget Rock vs Cena a match that was billed "once in a lifetime" but they did it two years in a row. Punk deserved a Mania main event.
Not even that, he said wanted 1 main event, which he more than deserved. 7 years later they’re about to give Roman Noodles his 6th Wrestlemania main event. Absolute clowns lmao.

This never gets old, despite how it ended with AEW, this moment will live on forever. Hopefully one day we get to see them bury the hatchet so we can celebrate how great this was again.

My favourite cm punk match is cm punk vs cena at money in the bank
Might be my favorite match of all time
And that was one of the best storylines
Lol
This aged horribly
Ahahahahah
This seems like a big thing people are missing, the announce team. This is why JR is the best, he knows when to lay out and let the moment speak for itself.
Best announce team in wrestling by far
Yeah it wasn’t fake, with mcmahon whispering down his ear. I have Michael Cole commentery it’s so cringy
@SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE WORST nahh he's good. Was great tonight
1:40 basically it's CM Punk who gives announcers signal that they can start talking. not to take anything away from JR, he's the best when it comes to calling big moments.
@SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE WORST he's the color guy. He's gotta speak. He knows when to shut up though. Especially tonight.
That roar is absolutely unlike anything in wrestling, ever. Maybe even in sports or entertainment. Hell, that stadium never has nor will hear anything like that again. Absolutely fucking incredible.
People can talk crap about wrestling. But this moment is one of those that makes me happy to be a fan of it!
Tell ya bub, I am 43, been watching wrestling since the early 80's. I haven't heard a pop like that since the attitude era, and maybe of all time. Makes me wanna watch AEW!

I got chills when JR said "This building hasn't shook like this since Michael Jordan was here. This is Jordan-esque!"
It definitely shook like that in 2015 when the Hawks won the Cup on home ice, not to take away from the moment! So glad Punk is back

Which Jericho return are you specifically referring to?
@@myyritenut Not a return, but last week he had a match where he couldn't use his theme song. The whole crowd sung it for him instead. Look up "Jericho vs MJF No Judas Entrance"
There's a reason why people love this guy. He's the guy that showed real passion for the art pro wrestling. He knows how people feel. Just like Daniel Bryan
Ya your right
Agreed but Daniel won't get a pop like this he'll definitely get a big one but not at this caliber
Bryan Danielson, dude.
Are you saying previous guys before him didn't show "real passion" as well?
Maybe but do do the rest undertaker wrestled for 30 years even when injured Cana is still good and works hard when he is around
Legit one of the loudest sustained pops I've ever heard. Amazing isn't a strong enough word.

Punk would’ve never thought he’d be such an icon that, 7 years out of wrestling, they’d still cheer him like it’s 2011

Im not gonna lie, when I was about to watch the show, I was a nervous wreck. I was sweating, had a nervous feeling in my belly, and just was worried whether or not CM Punk was actually coming. When it finally happened, I was so relieved and excited. This is a MASSIVE AEW victory, and one it really, really needed to be finally considered wrestling's 2nd big daddy.
@@elephantman6117 It was even crazier being there. People were already nervous about him showing up at all. When the show was starting, the whole place was standing just hoping that it was gonna happen, and then the music hit and that was it. Absolutely the coolest thing I've seen in person. A great moment for professional wrestling.
Had to be an almost out of body experience for CM Punk
Better than the return of Becky Lynch really
The Young Bucks: That doesn’t work for us, brother
Also The Young Bucks: Let's drive this company into the ground because of our inability to understand the crowd does not want anything to do with us and we are a detriment to this company... oh wait.. neither Hogan or the Bucks got that memo.. oh well.. AEW has never once ever failed to learn from history and subsequently been doomed to repeat it. In fact, they repeat most spots literally to a tee without reinvention or even an ounce of awareness.

I was in Milwaukee the following week and we basically heard his music drop and that's it. Couldn't hear Tony interview and that was a crowd about half the size of Chicago. It was probably stupid loud.
I was there and the whole time during the entrance my ear drums felt like they where going to pop. Amazing experience!
