"Ian Rotten comes in with gig marks on his head cutting a promo on the Athletic Commission. So they revoke his Promoters Licence. His Wrestling Licence. I think they also tried to revoke his Drivers Licence" - Jim Cornette
@@MohamadMahmoud-vp6yf it’s funny you make that claim because Cornette rarely talked about Punk one way or the other until Punk was signed to AEW… plus kept making engaging television on AEW that Cornette praised.
Punk has always been a good median for me. I’d always go back and check out my favorite WWE guys work on the indies and a good majority of Punks work was one of those that would make me proud to be a fan of his and of wrestling in general
Cornette is a total chode tho in real life. He hates hogan cuz he has a view, that is obvious. He’s a dumb 🐑 too I just lost all respect for him this week.
@@robertjohnston3931 then the next obvious question is, has he hearf thr Cult of Meat & Cheese song and how hard is he lobbyibg to have that be a special 1 time entrance theme for him
@@TimeBomb014X That would mean WWE would have to pay royalties to Corny (which, given how hard they had removed him from as many videos as possible to avoid paying him...)
So sad to see that ROH banner, it would be for the best if the brand would rather die, than being just another AEW's show, not sure if it's better or worse than WWECW era.
Punk walked a fine line to not completely burn a bridge with Ian because trashing him would trash his own work there. However he doesn't lie and say Ian didn't screw up a lot of business for Cornette.
He argued his point very well. This was around the time I first came across CM Punk and first saw ROH a year earlier (never followed it closely or a huge fan but respected it and it did feel refreshing). I respect Punk. No doubt he was talented but never one of my favourites. He came across as different, original and unique. Had good matches and promos but I was never a CM Punk guy. I did respect his straight edge style. A couple of years later in early 2005 I met him at a UK Indy who, a few months before he signed with WWE. He didn't come across anything like he does on this video(which if affable and endearing). He was a dick with a huge chip on his shoulder and a mild prima donna. Admittedly, I was not in a good place in my life as a young 23 year old and was struggling with confidence(had graduated from University about 6 months earlier and was working 2 part time jobs and was struggling with finding permanent work and a career as well as other issues and low wellbeing). He might have thought I was awkward. AJ Styles(arrogant but polite), Christopher Daniels, Mick Foley, Samoa Joe, RVD, Matt Hardy, Eddie Guerrero, Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett even the Ultimate Warrior were far more congenial (I met them at UK super shows and comic cons, wasn't marking out, circa 2004-06). My opinion on him not entirely doing it for me as a wrestler or not being a Punk guy was long before this meeting. Its interesting how many people I've met who share the same sentiments including son indy promoters in the UK during the same time period. On the flip side met a few who said he can be very personable too. However, he's still a big star and so over. Kudos to him.
Happens to every celebrity from most states, they get media trained to speak a standardised version of an American accent. Even applies to native speakers from overseas like Drew, his Scottish accent is much less prevalent than it was 10-15 years ago.
Go watch the ROH straight shooting with punk and Cabana, listen to the story punk tells about 55 minutes in, about the girl he purposely injured on numerous occasions and exploited for gas money and rides to Indy shows. Dude even shows a picture of her to further embarrass her. Come back and tell me how you feel about that.
It matters. A jobber is what Bret was in WCW. If he was the best in the world he would have owned that sht. Instead he had zero mic skills and he walked over looked over all that sht. He might be the best technical wrestler but who cares these days You gotta be all around the man that is not Bret. I put Savage ahead of him too.@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 Oh

Ironic how Punk complained that The Elite stooge to Meltzer and now its been proven that the wrestler stooging AEW info to Cornette was Punk all along LMAO hypocrite!
20 years later and Corny sings his praises every chance he gets.
LIKE MUSSSSSSOOLIIIINIIIIII!
With emphasis on singing😂
I'm in the W W EEeeeeee Oooooha because Tony Khan just fired me. 😭
*WITH EXTRA CHEEEEESE!*
A Cheeseburger with EXTRA CHEESSSSE
CULT OF MEAT WITH EXTRA CHEEEESEEEW
Punk basically said “I have no issue with either of them, but I understand why there’s heat between them”
to quote Kevin nash's podcast. I never had a problem with Jim cornette or Ian Rotten ha ha

Cornette posted a photo of himself in a CM Punk shirt not long ago. He's such a mark for Punk 😂

@@pk_1 Exactly
Context: Danny Davis said that no one who works for Ian Rotten will work for OVW because of what Rotten did to pro wrestling in the state
Thank you for the context I had forgotten about that.
Rather fair response. Seems like Punk agreed with Corny but wanted to keep his opportunity
By this time punk was done working in IWA Mid south
@@Beanz06 he went on to work with czw
Trashing armories and ruining it for everyone else…..kind of like returning damaged rental cars and ruining it for others.
I see what you did there and love it
“Boys ruin it for the boys”
Go cry me a river! 😄

"Ian Rotten comes in with gig marks on his head cutting a promo on the Athletic Commission. So they revoke his Promoters Licence. His Wrestling Licence. I think they also tried to revoke his Drivers Licence" - Jim Cornette
He was always so smart
If you read between the lines, CM Punk states without doubt "I AM A JIM CORNETTE GUY" 100%
He's just giving props to his old man, it's sweet
He actually referenced the jim cornette experience and drive thru on raw
He even sang like corny on a live mic
Someone should send this to jim cornette he'll definitely talk about it on his podcast.
Jim Cornette has likely seen or heard of this interview, and the honest take Punk has here is likely why Cornette likes him so much.
How grown adults speak not some so called EVPs that couldn’t manage a Target feeding the dirt sheets drama
@@nickhughes8179it’s funny because cornette never liked punk until he started watching him in AEW

Punk vs Raven was amazing
Someone needs to send this to Cornette lmao, although he probably already heard this 20 years ago
Most likely he didn't, he doesn't remember if he ever met Punk, which is a statement made by Corny himself on one of his modern podcasts
That's why he loves him so much
Him and Brian will talk about this for 10 to 20 minutes then.
Send it in homies
Send this in to the Drive Thru or someone tell me how to.
Punk is so young there, I’m surprised Feinstein didn’t try to pick him up
LOL !
He succeeded
😂😂😂
'03 Punk is how I wanted to dress as an adult when I was a kid
What... were you wearing three piece suits as a kid??
Watching this video instantly brought me back to ‘03. Literally everyone I knew dressed this way lmao.
I’d love to see Jim and TGBL see this clip and hear what Jim’s thoughts about what Punk said.
Always had a feeling that Punk had some respect for Jim.
Everyone of us members from the Cult of Cornette wants to see (or hear on the podcast) that special interaction between Jim and Punk.
Cornette is a total chode tho in real life. He hates hogan cuz he has a view, that is obvious. He’s a dumb 🐑 too I just lost all respect for him this week.
He didn’t attack Jim Cornette at all
It doesn't say he did...
He wasn't backstage in an AEW show to put him in a chole hold 😂
That's because he worked with children
Cornette is over 5 foot 7 so he wouldn't.
@@tonyclifton2230yeah, the guy that got into the ufc octagon twice “wouldn’t”. 🤡
It's like GCW today. Full of garbage matches and mudshow clowns, but occasionally having actual talent put on decent wrestling matches.
25 year old CM Punk.
Damn look at young Punk, I wonder how Jim would react if he saw this, also wonder what Punk thinks of Corney now
I would guess they are pretty tight. Cm Punks trainer Ace Steel constantly praises cornette and punk and Steele also hired Jim cornettes attorney
@@realblakewilliamson Not to mention Cornette was Punk's biggest advocate when the Elite was trying to get him fired
He used some of Cornys bits from the show on Aew promo: “You can bring Solo, Comoratto, Agogo…”

Wow CM Punk looks so 2001-4
true. The ''independant'' hoodie and beanie, the beard, very early 2000's style
That's because it is........🙄
it’s 2003.. goofy ass comment
@@wresling300Bam Margera is another one who had that style
Hadn't heard of CM Punk until his WWE debut, so to see this from 2003 is wild.
Dude sounds like the cable guy
Cm Punk looks like a CHAD in the Thumbnail 😂
Greatness usually recognizes greatness. Corny and Punk agree more than they disagree, and they’re both absolute legends of the business.
Honest men explain complex situations like interpersonal communications so as to avoid misunderstanding.
This interview is old enough to Drink but keeps it straight edge
So sad to see that ROH banner, it would be for the best if the brand would rather die, than being just another AEW's show, not sure if it's better or worse than WWECW era.
Ian Rotten didn't *completely* kill indie wrestling and armory shows here in Indy, but he came the closest to anyone except maybe Vince for trying.
I know he [Corny] doesn’t wanna do it, but it would be great to see heel CM Punk with Jim Cornette as his manager.
Corny would manage punk in two seconds if he asked
Like Mussoliniiiiiiii
LIKE MUSSSSSSOOLEEEENI! And a role of cheese!
I think by the time Punk went to OVW Cornette was gone for slapping Santino right?
Yep he was.
How times change. Punk is Jim’s favourite wrestler right now iw
Nothings changed.. Jim always like Punk.
Did you even listen to this? 😂
He’s so cogent and coherent
I know jim cornette didnt watch wwe in 2012 and 2013 i wish he did so he could of saw all those great promos punk did

And this is why he's a main event in WWE and the other guys are in AEW losing viewers and doing phony looking bullshit.

Is that Jesse from Breaking Bad?
So this is why corny hates deathmatches, it all makes sense now
I'd like to see CM Punk on Rob Feinstein (The guy asking the questions)
Wasn't one of Cornette's last acts at OVW was to convince WWE that Punk should get a shot? Corny and Heyman...they know gold when they see it
Like wine
And Cornette agrees with Punk
Looks like a 00s cartoon character
Like Mussoliniiii
does punk skate? whats with the indy clothes
It's 03. And he reads comics it's a possibility
That's a long way of saying "I love my dad"
I had no idea Punk and Chris hero had a 93 minute long match. Holy moly 😮
2024 anyone?
RF Video...is this Feinstein? Before he got in trouble?
Send this to Jim Cornette
21 years ago??! 🫨
Dude has a whole ass lip of chew in lmao. When did he go edge? Is that a gimmick or is he straight edge irl?
Very very interesting
Punk has always been real and just says the truth as he believes it, and I respect that.

How old is he?
probaby 24 or 23
In this video he’s either late 23 or 24
I miss his tattoo free hands.
Good bloke
Then why does anyplace let IWA run shows?
Always on the same team
I've stopped listening to Cornette for about a week and I find myself being less hostile and talking to my parents more
When I stopped listening to Cornette I stopped giving head for coke.
