@haroldjoseph8296 I hope you know being called a "mark" isn't an insult anymore... if you are a mark for simply being a fan of something/somebody then so be it. You are a mark for multiple people with your logic
Guys, this was such a great listen. Cannot wait for part two. For all his criticisms, CM Punk has still been one of the most essential guys in the wrestling business for the last twenty years. Even when he was gone, his presence was still there. So cool to see him back where he belongs and to see him happy and healthy.
Man halfway through the video I had to do a double take cause I couldn’t believe I had already watched this for 30 minutes. The chemistry is just so natural between everyone here it felt like just hanging out with friends.
Really appreciate that, Peter. That’s our goal. Way too much negativity in the IWC & we wanna go the opposite route of that. But, if something happens and it needs to be trashed…we’ll do that too, haha.
@@tjjefferson5973TJ this was a great listen, not only from Punk, but I could listen to you and O Shea gush about wrestling forever. Definitely gonna be listening to you guys on my way home from work every Wednesday from here on out.
@@Rautz. me personally no just from the history and lawsuits I didn’t believe and definitely ppl I heard around me there was a buzz in the arena even before the show actually started
@@danieljones5524 awesome man. I watched the show live on the screen here in nz. I was not expecting him to appear although I was gutted when the copyright logo popped up as it meant it was the end of the show so another missed opportunity for punk at Chicago….. then the static filled the airwaves and the rest is history!!!
20:06 It's funny that Punk mentions the "rebirth" of becoming a smark because he was basically the wrestler that got me into that phase when he turned heel in 2009.
Freaking awesome interview with CM Punk. You guys are going to be great at this. Don't let the other sports fans crap on something so badass to the wrestling community
Watching Punk live in Berlin was something else, I absolutely loved every single second of it and my throat that night, and the next morning was absolutely dead. One of the best moments in my life.
I was there in the United Center when CM Punk came out at AEW Rampage. It was the most insane thing I've ever laid witness to and been a part of. I could literally feel the building shake under my feet. It's so goddamn insane how AEW let the inmates run the asylum and run him out. That company will never recover from that no matter what TV deal they land.
I was there too. It was one of my favorite memories as a wrestling fan because I had zero idea he was gonna be there. My friend just randomly invited me to a wrestling show. I still have the ice cream wrapper
The pod is DOPE! O'Shea been a fan and a Twitter follower for a while. You and TJ are amazing together. It's like the convos I think me and my friends would have if we had a pod. Keep up the great work!!
Even got a fist pound from Punk on the Lakers burn 😂! Love the chemistry, and you can tell Punk actually enjoyed talking to you guys. Can't wait for part 2!
That Dark match with Stone Cold story is one of the *best* stories low-key. It just shows the passion for the business and creating a moment for the show to really be memorable.
Punk is very good at giving diplomatic answers. He knows where his heat is, he speaks his mind and puts his guys over. I honestly get how people could hate him but I feel like he’s a very real dude how knows how bug he is. Parasocial bs aside he is like what I wish having a big brother was like.
@@lexlopez15punk didnt have a cm punk shirt on hand at the time and uses the same shirt oshea is wearing as it was the only one available at the time. 😊😊😊
@@SupernintendoChalmers0 cm punk wore a stone cold shirt when he gave the pipe bomb on top of the ramp yrs ago? It didn't look like it to me. Unless you're talking about a different pipe bomb moment. I could have sworn it was his own shirt.
This is an unexpected bit of awesomeness! This seems like a wrestling podcast I can actually watch and not get bored with. Thanks guys for starting this pod!
I can confirm that people chant his name everywhere. I was at a metal band's (Hatebreed) 30th anniversary tour last week. They had a video of a ton of musicians/fans wishing them congratulations. Punk was one of them, and a bunch of dudes started chanting his name.
Iv never seen your podcast before and came for cm punk but I’m soo Impressed at how you guys presented and your professionalism and approach. Il certainly be listening to future podcasts. You guys rock
Im 5:07 in you guys through story alone have nailed what wrestling means.. the growing up and excitement of it never goes away.. going through hard times and whats always there? Wrestling... meetings fans through it and exchanging stories and news.. ideals and hopes for individuals in the business being older nad having far more appreciation for what thier bodies go through nightly.. money is one thing but some of those injuries are for life.. permanently altered to feed us as fans... my respect will always be for wrestling no matter what its never left me...
From Chicago. Met punk at a mutual friend's house where I grew up at. Very different him from then to now and the way he speaks now I could listen to all day
Guys put Punk in the thumbnail!!! You'll get more attention!!!
They changed it!!!
It's so simple
and put his name first in the title! shorter intro. i think they'll be great with a bit of tweaking to the production
Makes sense
Str8 up!🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾🤦🏾♂️
I could listen to CM Punk talk for 24 hours straight he's so mesmerizing. Part 2 can't come soon enough.
...
Ok mark.
Same the man is a pro. And a OG

9:09 is when punk comes out 🫡
Thanks
The real goat
Real one ☝🏽
The real hero is always in the comments
@@nitemarestlk do you think he could face John cena in his final run next year
Good to see Punk in his mid 40s happy and just vibing man, what a unique and insane career he’s had
Pretty cool of Punk to use a remastered version of Cult of Personality so the band can get paid directly
Did he tell the reason why the original version wasn’t picked
@@kushaldeepsingh5248 Most likely licensed to aew
@@chrisjgutierrez1 that’s what I thought thanks for clearing buddy 👊
@@kushaldeepsingh5248 because the record label owns that version so the money wouldve been split
@kushaldeepsingh5248 thats actually why a lot of bands remaster their own albums after a while, so they can own it

I always used to this the cm stood for “Chicago Made” Punk 🤣🤣🤣
He was great in the UFC 😅😅😅
Punk’s own words: he liked Cookie Monster, but he’s also chick magnet
If you ask us Chicagoans, “Chicago Made” is another meaning for the CM 😂
@haroldjoseph8296 always one loser. I'm sure you'd fair better than Jungle Boy did against Punk.
What's next? Gonna pick on Rousey?
Yah I could’ve sworn that was a known thing

Punk is so engaged.. He's still such a little fanboy it's great to watch
I've never seen him this relaxed. The interviewers did a great job. This is probably one of his best interviews.
@@tjjefferson5973fantastic work bro it was such a dope convo
Punk ain’t lying I was there at Survivor Series when he came back it was so loud out there
Yup! I flew from Canada to Chicago for Survivor Series and that pop was crazy amazing!
Did you think he was going to turn up? Was there much of a buzz in the arena thinking he was turning up?
@@Rautz. me personally no just from the history and lawsuits I didn’t believe and definitely ppl I heard around me there was a buzz in the arena even before the show actually started

@@danieljones5524 oh and to think, you were there to be apart of one of the greatest pops AND greatest returns ever. Awesome.
After reading (and agreeing with) the majority of O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s tweets, I am so happy he finally has a wrestling show.
Best compliment I can give you guys about this is that it didn't feel like an interview, it felt like a conversation. Really enjoyable, thank you.
20:06 It's funny that Punk mentions the "rebirth" of becoming a smark because he was basically the wrestler that got me into that phase when he turned heel in 2009.
Dude i'm pretty mad the algorithm didnt recommend me this show sooner lol O'shea Jackson JR doing a wrestling show?! Yes please!
Facts
Come on now
Got to meet Punk before the NXT show yesterday, as a hometown kid I was pumped to finally get a pic with one of my favorites. Great interview
Finally a Punk interview with him life on studio. Has to be the first since the Ariel Helwani one.
Has there been one since the Ariel one?
@@itzsombra10He did like a 10 minute speed interview with Busted Open podcast but it he didn’t anything major
He needs his own podcast
Has to be the best CM Punk interview out there. Love the podcast, you guys are doing an incredible job. I'll be there for part 2 no doubt
This is great news. Thanks for kicking this off with the CM Punk interview. Will be listening each week. Wishing you guys all the best.
“They got nothing else to chant for” the man just brutalized my Lakers 🤣
The Clippers fan in me LOVED that one, haha.
@25:00 For the Rampage debut.
@31:35 For Survivor Series Return
This guy is the reason for so many people getting into wrestling and the wrestling business. Legend.
Freaking awesome interview with CM Punk. You guys are going to be great at this. Don't let the other sports fans crap on something so badass to the wrestling community
It's boring
@@MarcYanruwdon’t watch pretty simple

Watching Punk live in Berlin was something else, I absolutely loved every single second of it and my throat that night, and the next morning was absolutely dead. One of the best moments in my life.
I felt the same here in Berlin.
Him & Drew put on an instant classic !!!!!
Even to this day I still watch his return at Survivor Series lol

This gonna be my new favorite wrestling show.
That was such a great show. I will definitely be watching every week. You won’t be the only podcast I watch on Wednesdays you guys have earned a fan.
Cm punks stone cold impression is spot on, great first episode!
Punk's Steve Austin voice is spot on
lol it's the beats that make it perfect. He nailed his cadence.
“God damn kid whaddya have in mind?” That’s what got me 😂😂 he lowkey has some great impressions
Go watch his Starcast interview from a few years ago. That thing is full of impressions.
40:17 you're welcome
CM Punk once again appreciated the Chicago fans by hooking us up with some free Lou Malnati's pizza 🍕 after the Nxt show in Chicago
the three of them have great chemistry for just a podcast type setting. stoked for part 2!
Subscribed for this show! Punk needs respect, O’Shea is the man, real fan.
The pod is DOPE! O'Shea been a fan and a Twitter follower for a while. You and TJ are amazing together. It's like the convos I think me and my friends would have if we had a pod. Keep up the great work!!

Brilliant!
I went str8 to You Tube and watched Punk's return.
Haven't watched wrestling in 20yrs.

I love these guys mission statement to humanize the wrestlers. I'm already a big fan in CM punk hasn't even come out
CM Punk A&E documentary one day would go crazy
I want that documentary NOW
Love to see Punk have fun and do more media. I'm sure having quality interviews like this one fuels that, great job
That was a good listen. That hour flew by!
i actually flew down from cali to Chicago to see punk at SS, such a fun night screamed my lungs out
This is so awesome! So glad you guys are doing this podcast
O’shea wearing the pipe bomb shirt was a nice touch.
What do you mean? His shirt says Stone Cold, how is that a pipe bomb shirt?🤔
@@lexlopez15punk didnt have a cm punk shirt on hand at the time and uses the same shirt oshea is wearing as it was the only one available at the time. 😊😊😊
@@blytheskrieg again, but he's not wearing a pipe bomb shirt, it's a stone cold shirt.
@@lexlopez15 he wore the same shirt when he gave the pipebomb. Basically the same thing.

OMG ya'll actually let the man talk. One thing I cant stand is when the interviewer wont shut up. Was a wonderful conversation.
they let him talk. calm down,
@@Psyclonus7 I think he was complementing us by saying we let him talk, haha.
CM Punk
Best in the World!!!!!!!!
Being there live to witness his return @ survivor series will be a night I’ll never forget.
im just happy that cm punk is in better a better place right now and definetly enjoying his time in WWE
Excellent interview with cm punk. I cannot wait for part 2
This was exactly the kind of interview I want to watch with a wrestler. Fresh questions, good flowing conversation, this was great!
CM Punk is right about Hell in a Cell being an attraction, glad Triple H rolled the cell back to that
Can't wait for the second part!
Punk off the rip? LFG. I’m in boys. This pod is going to be amazing.
How good is this!!! Great work lads I'll be tuning in weekly from 🇦🇺
Thank you, Fella!!
O’Shea asks great questions. I don’t think I’ve heard punk go this deep with things.
Skip to 9:02
Or...listen to the 1st 9 minutes of the 1st episode of a new podcast to see why you should tune in!
It was amazing to hear how crazy it was backstage during Survivor Series. Hope we get to see some of that footage one day.
Looking forward to part 2! This is certainly one of the best Punk interviews. Solid questions, knowledge and just great atmosphere. ❤❤
Great watch! Stoked for part 2
What a way to start a podcast. Lets get it!
This is an unexpected bit of awesomeness! This seems like a wrestling podcast I can actually watch and not get bored with. Thanks guys for starting this pod!

Looking forward to part 2! Always enjoy listening to Punk in non kayfabe interviews, much more likeable
3:02 This is how I, a female WWE fan, have always described wrestling. “My stories where occasionally a fight breaks out.”
Punk was enjoying himself here wish he did more of these
that fuggin HEAT shirt though. 43:54 Punk and Regal realizing why they left all friends wrestling
Fantastic. Love TJ getting his shot! Can’t wait to hear his reactions to how the product has changed!
“I was gonna say my mortgage but i paid for my house cash” 😂😂😂
how do you not put a photo of cmpunk in the thumbnail tho.
This
Didn’t have too all i seen was cm punk and clicked
They have put it now
@@alappara_kelappurom778 there we go

My new favorite Podcast, yall killed it!
Awesome pod fellas !!
Let's go guys, this is awesome. Punk is a great get and it went so smoothly it was like it was episode 100, not episode 1.
Iv never seen your podcast before and came for cm punk but I’m soo Impressed at how you guys presented and your professionalism and approach. Il certainly be listening to future podcasts. You guys rock
Haha, it was our very 1st one so that makes sense! Glad you liked it!
Like 5 I think on Twitter someone asked CM Punk who he thought was the Goat in hip hop. His response was Ice Cube
Congrats on the Podcast!!! Ya’ll did ya thing on this!!!!
I’m not a wrestling historian but wwe is my childhood I take pride in my knowledge of the history of this business
Damn part 2 just popped in my feed gonna definitely be on the look out for more vids.
Love the show guys. Awesome first guest! My only complaint is that it went by too fast. lol
Can't wait for part 2!! Great interview
Great episode 1, guys!
Congrats on the new pod gents!
This is amazing I’ll be tuning in every Wednesday for my wrestling fix
Yo that Hogan ambulance bit on The Rock got me too as a kid 😂 I prayed for Rock
Can’t forget the hammer to the head. I thought Rock was done after that. Then seeing the truck ram into the ambulance, I thought he was dead.
Found my new favorite wrestling podcast. Thanks gentlemen!
What a way to start a wrestling podcast! Great work guys! Punk is an awesome interview.
Awesome podcast guys! What a way to kick it off!
This show has huge potential
I agree - Rich
Great first episode! 1st part was very enjoyable. BEST IN THE WORLD
Great show, and great first ep! Can’t wait for part two!
Thanks. I'm glad we are in this arena and would love to contribute.
