Yup. Have Cena win the Rumble, Punk and Rock finish to a no contest at the Rumble PPV, Screwy Finish where Punk retains against The Rock @ Elimination Chamber and Finally a triple threat main event where Cena wins. Rock is about to put Punk away after a Rock Bottom and people's elbow, Cena comes from behind and hits Rock with an AA then makes Punk tap out with an STF. Everyone goes home happy. Punk gets his main event and has a historic reign as champion (would've been close to 600 days by that point), Cena wins back the championship and Vince gets high PPV buy rates thanks to Rock's star power.
@@saygoodnighttothebadguy rock could’ve held the belt going into it too, as long as punk was in that match it would’ve been better and punk would’ve prolly been around longer too
The way he explains it is basically two people sticking to their guns, at the end they came to a middle ground. No hate or animosity involved at worst a debate. Cm punk may be prideful at times but he did reach out so the rock didn't misunderstand him and the rock had already forgotten. That's maturity on both sides.
The Rock came up at a time when creative freedom was normal so he probably appreciated someone fighting for theirs. He wouldve done it a million times with guys like Austin, Jericho and HHH
Feel like Rock would love working with people like Punk and respected how he responded with ideas. I understand why Cena and Rock main evented wrestlemania as it's always been a show about star power, but I think Punk could have been involved in the rematch as maybe a triple threat... But I imagine Cena wanted his win back in a 1 v1.
I'm in two minds. In 2012, Punk more or less carried WWE (nevermind holding the WWE title the entire calendar year) and his efforts, which included turning heel against his wishes part way through, should've been rewarded with the Mania 29 main event even in a triple threat elimination match where Punk is pinned in the first 5 minutes. However that would've ruined Rock and Cena's ready made story which required Cena to pin Rock after losing the previous year and be endorsed by Rock in a singles match. Plus Punk got the honour of wrestling Undertaker in the only memorable match at the 2013 Mania.
“Did you know they give people time off now” That line hurt. Damn, that says a lot, man. The man was risking his body on the line, yet he got no respect from the WWE.
@@vongola11thboss67 True, and I get that just saying that back then till 2015 & 2017, WWE was exploiting their top wrestlers; now; if they want time off, they can kindly ask for it and get time off from TV, and we've seen that including female wrestlers not to throw shade or anything. Still, it is messed up that back; women wrestlers in WWE didn't get pregnant because of being afraid they would lose their spot and eventually their job. E.g., Lita, Trish, Torry Wilson, and on and on eventually, they became moms but in their late 30’s 40’s.
@Ryan Wilson Bro, he sued one of the doctors in WWE lmao - don’t get me wrong, I hated punk; I thought he was always overrated (my opinion). That being said, I don't think he is lying here. He’s thrown shots at Ryback, Triple H, including Vince, Yet nobody has called him out. The fact you will see this guy every week on TV, including WWE’s version of ECW, speaks for itself.
@Ryan Wilson Lol, bro, I get what you're saying, but you also can’t compare everyone's recovery time the same plus, he got screwed multiple times by doctors clearing him up when he was still injured. I don't think he was getting paid as much as John Cena. He didn't have merch except for shirts; he was also never advertised. Think about it imagine having people in the back trying to step on you or hold you back. That's a lot of crap to deal with mentally and emotionally. He went over most times because of the WWE fans, not the WWE management.
At this point WWE is like a Charity that The Rock gives back to with an occasional appearance or promo, or as a plug for wrestlers who want to transition into Hollywood.
@@graythaprince crazy thing is when you think about it, Rock became bigger than the company when he was still full time (2000) he fulfilled his contract and lost whenever he needed. Putting Goldberg, Booker T Lesnar and Evolution over on the way out. The man was totally unselfish. The universe paid him back ten fold.
@@marcmick3651 Rock wasn't bigger than the company then lmao, he wasn't even a mainstream movie star until Fast 5. Look at the box offices his movies made before and after.
CM Punk was an Indy wrestler in a Major Wrestling promotion and it made him one of the best heels, he was a different type of wrestler from what WWE Was giving us and I think we should all have enjoyed his run for what it was and hope this AEW Run is just as great.
I'm 100% convinced he's never ever coming back. Edit: lmao @ the comments rolling in 2 years later. Thanks for the entertainment 😂 Edit 2: the comments still rolling in 3 years later just to tell me that I was wrong 😂 come on now boys
@@ericdouglas7039 if he came back he’d be the biggest star. Like him or not his name power alone is crazy, no matter how much he got beaten up in the UFC lol
@@liamjones1867 That's true and honestly he still has a 2-3 year window to make an appearance with WWE. And I want to see it happen but times running out.
CM Punk is as straight up as they come. He is brutally honest and some people are threatened by that cause it exposes them. I felt that CM Punk was just right to counter them shoving Cena all the time. I hope nothing but the best for him
i'm like this also, and everybody is saying im arrogant and an selfish mf, but i am how i am and i will not change becasue some people dont like it, idk maybe i got it from punk watching him when i was young
Imagine how stressful it is to enter a room with The Rock and full of strangers and you have to do them a live promo, Man it's crazier than the show itself..
Exaclty, I remember when Rock was transitioning from wwe to Hollywood and the hate he got, now the majority of folks wanna replicate his career. Everytime he comes back he's doing them a favor.
Only person I see him beefing with is Roman Reigns, cause of the whole "head of the table thing" Easy Promo right there with Rock dropping the line of "You know who the real head of the table is, now sit your ass down and know your role"
4:37 listen to what cm punk that was a clue of why he's not returning to the wwe and most likely never will and instead is signing with AEW plus again he doesn't have to deal with triple h nor the McMahon's ever again. Cm punk signing with AEW was destined to happen sooner rather than later. And I can't wait to see him when he finally debuts in AEW it's suree to be ratings gold and it's sure to be awesome!!!!!
I feel like Cena vs Rock II was inevitable but I don’t think it should’ve been for the title. Would’ve love to see Cena vs Punk or Cena vs Punk vs Rock at Mania 29 for the WWE title
Cena vs Rock 2 should have never happened imo. U could have made rock & Cena VS the shield in a 2v3 handicap match ( the shield cost rock at the rumble and Cena at elimination chamber) and punk VS taker in the main event for the title
@@ryzes1084 really once in a lifetime was so special and I was there what a match what a pop it was special the second one was just flat to me not as special honestly Cena imo even as a Cena fan at 12-13 didn’t need to beat the Rock he lost to the Great One a legend who’s beaten hogan Austin and John Cena all at wrestlemania. John Cena didn’t need the second match the idea of a triple threat would’ve been awesome or you know punk just beats him on raw cuz that was also an incredible match
They had to let Cena get his win back so Rock vs Cena II in a one on one had to happen. It was likely agreed all the way back when they decided to have Rock win their first match. You're right that it shouldn't have been for the title. Making it a title match just made it that much more obvious that Cena would win and it didn't need the title involved. Punk should have remained champ and defended it against someone else, like Taker, since that's who he faced anyway. Letting Taker have one more title reign would have been cool too.
I think Punk, with all due respect, felt secluded in the WWE. And not just business but personally. He felt like it was one man vs. a work horse company and it messed with him mentally.
Its cause he stood for something and he made it too much about himself. Why didnt he switch gears with his straight edge gimmick on line? Now we will never know how much he cared about all that because he made everything about himself.
I completely agree with both of you. He knew what he was signing up for. He probably genuinely wanted something to change that he couldn't and it literally showed in his character.
@@ncnuggets yea, its easy to agree with him, but hes gotta quit the entitlement part of it. It just doesnt seem logical after a while, when is he going to have that day where seems to be not so bitter. I mean im not trying to be a dick but i feel like bret hart had more of a reason to be bitter or even Diesel or Razor. Those dudes changed the business just like CM Punk. But CM Punk had Cena, while they had Hogan. 2 Very different people in my opinion.
@@RVFCalvo I do not know how, knowing Vince, knowing what Punk stood for, and knowing the details of how badly he was treated, you can say this. Punk is very reasonable about all he said.
@@TheEpic22 Wrestlers base salary are more today than they were back 20+ years ago. I mean, allegedly Becky Lynch made 3 million in 1 year, tell me what woman back then made that much?
@@HarryOsborneAS31 Okay they pay more today than they used to. That doesnt mean they are paid well today. The top talent will be paid decently well but most of the roster is still severely underpaid. Especially when you factor in lack of healthcare, travel expenses, etc...
I wouldn’t say he’s an egomaniac, per se. Does he have an ego? Sure, but then again, most people in the industry have an ego to some extent, especially when they’re as high up as Punk is. You kinda have to develop it to thrive. But in his defense, Punk doesn’t have a reputation as a guy who needs to go over all the time like Hogan or won’t put over other people like 90s HBK. More people like Ricky Starks, Big E and others have credited him for helping to elevate them when he’s worked with them.
It is kinda surprising to hear that they get along so well, because they are such different people. That, and let's be honest here, Punk doesn't get along with all that many people.
Punk was right to many superstars are yes men to vince and he got used to having it his way and when cm punk challenge his authority vince doesnt like that and fired him it makes sense now
Pretty sure he was fired because he refused to appear in any WWE show for about six moths, hell I would also fire an employee who just stop presenting to work the way Punk did
@@Ryfem he said that to mislead, in the Colt cabana podcast he said something like "I was so unhappy I went to Vince and say him I didnt wanna wrestle anymore, I just dont feel any more pasion for it, Im hurt, Im tired and I just dont wanna keep wasting my life for something is not worth it for me anymore", also search the Chris Van Vliet interview with him, that was a couple weeks before he was "fired", he said "Im NEVER, NEVER gonna go back to WWE". If you search for reports during January of that year, he was very clear he didnt wanna wrestle anymore and that he left the company. I dont know If he was suspended, but wouldnt you do that to a person who just said he would never gonna come back to work? Also I think WWE didnt fire him before because they wanted to keep sellig his shirts as long as they could, since Cm punk merch waa still very popular
@@ReaperFrost and then they asked him to return in a pay per view and he said he's getting married so he will talk about this after coming back from honeymoon. And send him Letter on his wedding day. Also WWE lied that he quiet WWE but after his win against WWE in court. Vince apologize to him for that (saving his image that's it)
On the contrary actually. From a lot of accounts, Vince is someone who respects people who stand up to him. He's more likely to dislike somebody if he thinks that guy is weak and a push-over, which is one of the reasons why John Morrison never got much of a push. Vince didn't fire Punk for standing up to him. He fired Punk for walking out on RAW and not showing up to work for half a year.
Punk is not the first one who said that all that "family talk" in WWE is BS. They treat you like a toy and family only exists as long as they might owe something to you, so you might not als for it. As soon as this gos the otherway it's not family, it's business. Punk got his released paper on his wedding day with AJ, that tells you how they are.
Every job does that, or at least every one I've had as an adult. "We love you" til you make too much $ or you become otherwise replaceable and then all that family talk goes out the window
I preferred The Rock in the Attitude Era, compared to his Dwayne 'The Rock' part time role from 2011-2013. It didn't seem like the same person. The Nation of Domination, corporate and Hollywood Heel Rock had that arrogant, narcisistic, egocentric persona that was so entertaining. When he returned to face Cena and Punk, he seemed like a shell of his former self, who would just suck up to the crowd. It was sad to see.
Well Rock had to be scaled back due to A: PG and B: PC. Most Rock promos circa 2000 wouldn't fly today due to some of the connotations and other potentially offensive verbiage he used to use which weren't shunned back then.
Cause he's full on baby face when he returned. Obviously there's gonna bea huge difference. Take into account how family friendly focused WWE was when he returned too and you get your answer.
Rock left WWE after Summerlam 2002 . I don't count part time. Yet after Summerlam 2002 he mainevented 7 ppv. Six more then cm punk ever did as full timer
Shows how little Vince cares for his talent. Man just has surgery on his knee & he immediately wants to put him in a match with a guy who'd already hurt him at this point
The Rock was a mega brand in entertainment for over 20 years...Punk was a wrestler that really only had two years in the spotlight and folded from the pressure and headaches...I’m not trynna say he didn’t deserve to have any say but it’s not like Punk is gonna come into that room and run the show lol
@@johnsolomon2481 Nah Punk at that time yes he was one of the big guns in the WWE but the Rock is Box Office puts more butts in seats, one of the biggest draws in the history of the industry and one of the Megastars besides Hogan, Austin and Cena to an extend. This was all about money and giving Cena that WM victory for the Belt over the Rock and hey at least Punk had a Wrestlemania victory in a match for the belt while Rock has never had that in his whole Wrestling career in the WWF/E.
I feel like he started answering the question truthfully and telling the story from his perspective and about 3/4 of the way thru this video thought to himself "fuck what am I doing. too much" and abruptly ends the story
Mental that you’d let your champion wrestle hurt for as long as they let punk do it, it’s even more mental your actually expect it! Knees are running things, what could be a week off for one of the boys that come back in 2 weeks (juicing definitely) could be 2 months for someone like punk
Coming back that fast isn't a indicator of juicing. I was 18 and had both knees operated on an was up walking around same day no crutches, while the former Governor of Texas was still in a wheelchair months after same surgery...
Cm punk is the only guy besides cena to have 2 matches with the rock when he came back and to be honest there fued was better because punk was heel and cena was just begging the fans to like him the whole time
Daniel Bryan and it isnt even close. Punk is bad enough just because he values himself much higher than his actual worth, but the Punk fans are even worse.
@@rubbishopinions6468 I'm not even a bryan fan. But you cant deny his ability. Bryan makes it look easy, Punk made his finishing move look like a botch job
That's Dwayne Johnson not "The Rock" man. That has been proven to me since his return in 2011 after wrestlemania. I just dont see that star we all loved to talk about till this day.
@@vkrunk7 I agree on that, that's why I said it's two deffrent generations. I respect punk forsure but I grew up with The Rock. So I'ma always rock with him.
I'm looking forward to seeing Punk's run in the AEW. I grew up in a time in the early to mid 2000's on a wrestling forum and he really was all the talk while he was in ROH. He was the "next guy up" I'm the underground circuit of the wrestling forums and Indy wrestling. Then he signed with WWE and was on ECW. I watched his first few years, then got out of wrestling pretty much. I was happy to see him make it big in the WWE, guys like that rarely do. But I never was attached to him like some of my favorite wrestlers....I really appreciate his love for wrestling and the business. But he definitely comes off as egotistical at times in everything I've watched with him. A little narcissistic sometimes, and he seems to complain a lot. Just using this AEW run as a fresh start. Khan, Rhodes, Jericho, etc will have to manage him very carefully.
He makes appearances because of his family ties to them going back to his grandmother and adoptive grandfather, Peter Maivia and father, Rocky. His daughter is under contract with them, his cousin Tamina is one half of the women's tag champions, his adoptive cousin Nia is also there and also of his close ties with the Anoa'i family.
I’ve heard some wrestlers say “Vince McMahon don’t ask Superstars to do anything he wanted do himself” I’ve never see him try to work this schedule he expects the wrestlers to do
@@alexandruene4247 in the office, he works in the office all day long. He takes cares of himself working out near everyday I’ll give him that, but him being a workaholic supervisor isn’t to be compared on taking bumps over the majority of days in a year. And no, this isn’t a “mental health isn’t just as important” thing either. Point is, Vince can afford to drain his mental strain, his workers couldn’t afford to NOT break their literal backs at the time. To this day they are still considered independent contractors and have to get their own health insurance
Truth, I only saw CM Punk in TNA prior to going to the WWE. He really was really treated like crap. I mean had he taken time off on TNA then I would have not been surprised. Punk demanded to be the best and he could not handle the chaos of being the top. Those at the top really don’t last that long on the top. As for the Rock he brings a lot of viewers and is now an established A grade star. CM Punk lost his MMA matches, was not destroyed by Brock and was given clean victories over Cena. To say he was treated bad is bs. He should have taken time off but he knew it would mean he would lose his spot and as much as CM Punk claims he was pushed reality is he was pushed to be the top star and couldn’t handle it.
"he was pushed to be the top star and couldn't handle it"? Lets analyze that statement: The biggest match of his career was Money in the Bank 2011, he wasn't even on the poster. He dropped the title at summerslam 2011, one month later - which he *also* wasn't even on the poster for, despite being the most popular wrestler in the world. The next PPV he lost to a guy(Triple H) that wasn't even an active wrestler The very next night Punk's rematch clause was explained away by putting him in a triple threat A match that he lost when he was pinned at the next PPV. After this, the next PPV he was in a tag match with Triple H, which again, punk was pinned and lost. From the match he won at money in the bank for his first title run until after losing the title to Rock on his second run, he was on the PPV poster *twice* That sound like being treated like the top star?
@@Reaprar He did get the title was on the video game cover was multiple times on posters as the headline and was given consecutive wins over Jon Cena to include big matches. Add to the fact that he was able to get multiple attacks against Brock Lesner who demolished Cena and Randy to the point where Jericho thought Lesner took advantage of Randy. So yeah he was pushed and kept being a dick to other wrestlers and backstage writers. To top it off did he attempt to look like a Champion while holding the title? No he stayed the same way and attempted nothing new. As for the back and forth between Punk and the Rock, punk was a snooze and did get okays with the Rock about the insults. He did a better job with MJF who has a lot less time behind the mike. Finally let’s see Triple H, a wrestler who finished a match where you can see his leg muscle break, CM Punk was sued by a doctor that examined him prior to CM Punk leaving the WWE with complaints that had they been true we both know CM Punk would have sued. Even if they had been partly real CM Punk would have sued instead of bitching online. Which was what really boosted CM Punk his online complaints.
@@rob9241 "he was on the videogame cover" The devs at THQ have stated in multiple interviews for years that they had to fight the company to put Punk on the game cover, WWE wanted sheamus on it. "was multiple times on posters" He was on 2 posters during his run despite being the most popular wrestler in the world by every metric for years. In the same time span they put guys on the posters that weren't even active wrestlers. You conveniently left out the fact that the end result of the lawsuit was punk winning the case. The fact that you have to try and reach to all these inconsequential things because it's simply undeniable that Punk was treated unfairly is proof enough of it's own. There has not been a single world champion to date that was as over as Punk was while being completely suppressed as he was.
His victories over Cena weren’t clean. Money in the bank 2011: Punk took out Cena who had his back turned stopping a screwjob. Summerslam 2011: Cena had his leg on the ropes when Punk got the pin. night of champions 2012: Punk won by default because Cena apparently didn’t pin him properly (that was for heel punk while the other two were face punk). If you’re going to call bs, recognize your own. Cena was still protected just enough for the company to still have the kids believe he was invincible at the time while the story could get pushed along without focusing on it
@@JThom529 Pipebomb had Cena on the mat for how long? You called victories over Cena as protected that is because Cena was the top star CM Punk would get the shot execute then bitch about his treatment over the internet. Punk was called an internet darling for a reason, his bitching.
CM Punk does say a lot of stuff that makes your head scratch. So he implies it would be weird working with the Rock because he had a huge hollywood team with him when they met, but then admits that the Rock was completely cool with adjusting stuff just to make Punk happy and cut out his hollywood guys so just the two of them could plan out the match. So what exactly is the problem then? lol, why did we even need a whole story there? I like him, enjoyed his matches, and he's clearly an entertaining guy but he really goes whine about everything.
@Tiger yea I'm mean you are fans of these people but these people know each other in backstage hell even rock and punk have social contact with each other. It's just for us to see them as a great actors and all but for other actors or people they are just everyday people.
@@TyrannosavageRekt yeah but his attitude is "sometimey" in regards to his words/statement about working with the Rock, like he didn't know whether to look down on him or marvel at him
I love Punk and his mic skills. I love his in ring skills too. But damn dude has a huge ego and is a whiner. You complain about all these guys getting put over more than you, but then you complain after the wwe depends on you more like you wanted. You don't have to be a damn yes man, but damn, be ready to give a lot more than the majority of other wrestlers. Finally, if you want respect, maybe you should give some respect..
There’s a difference between wanting to be given some time to shine, and being over worked. Three weeks after having knee surgery probably isn’t the best thing to do LMAO

I feel like Cena vs Rock II was inevitable but I don’t think it should’ve been for the title. Would’ve love to see Cena vs Punk or Cena vs Punk vs Rock at Mania 29 for the WWE title
Cena vs Rock 2 should have never happened imo. U could have made rock & Cena VS the shield in a 2v3 handicap match ( the shield cost rock at the rumble and Cena at elimination chamber) and punk VS taker in the main event for the title
@@ryzes1084 really once in a lifetime was so special and I was there what a match what a pop it was special the second one was just flat to me not as special honestly Cena imo even as a Cena fan at 12-13 didn’t need to beat the Rock he lost to the Great One a legend who’s beaten hogan Austin and John Cena all at wrestlemania. John Cena didn’t need the second match the idea of a triple threat would’ve been awesome or you know punk just beats him on raw cuz that was also an incredible match
They had to let Cena get his win back so Rock vs Cena II in a one on one had to happen. It was likely agreed all the way back when they decided to have Rock win their first match. You're right that it shouldn't have been for the title. Making it a title match just made it that much more obvious that Cena would win and it didn't need the title involved. Punk should have remained champ and defended it against someone else, like Taker, since that's who he faced anyway. Letting Taker have one more title reign would have been cool too.

The expendable idea was so fkn cool hahah
I think Punk, with all due respect, felt secluded in the WWE. And not just business but personally. He felt like it was one man vs. a work horse company and it messed with him mentally.
Its cause he stood for something and he made it too much about himself. Why didnt he switch gears with his straight edge gimmick on line? Now we will never know how much he cared about all that because he made everything about himself.
All his encounters is like hes thinking aloud, i dont feel like i am learning.... it just sounds like hes complaining.
I completely agree with both of you. He knew what he was signing up for. He probably genuinely wanted something to change that he couldn't and it literally showed in his character.
@@ncnuggets yea, its easy to agree with him, but hes gotta quit the entitlement part of it. It just doesnt seem logical after a while, when is he going to have that day where seems to be not so bitter. I mean im not trying to be a dick but i feel like bret hart had more of a reason to be bitter or even Diesel or Razor. Those dudes changed the business just like CM Punk. But CM Punk had Cena, while they had Hogan. 2 Very different people in my opinion.
@@RVFCalvo I do not know how, knowing Vince, knowing what Punk stood for, and knowing the details of how badly he was treated, you can say this. Punk is very reasonable about all he said.

The top talent will be paid decently well but most of the roster is still severely underpaid.
Especially when you factor in lack of healthcare, travel expenses, etc...
@@TheEpic22 well do you expect every football player to be paid the same as the top football players?
You kinda need egomaniacs like this guy in the business. It forces those around him to be even better.
I wouldn’t say he’s an egomaniac, per se. Does he have an ego? Sure, but then again, most people in the industry have an ego to some extent, especially when they’re as high up as Punk is. You kinda have to develop it to thrive.
But in his defense, Punk doesn’t have a reputation as a guy who needs to go over all the time like Hogan or won’t put over other people like 90s HBK. More people like Ricky Starks, Big E and others have credited him for helping to elevate them when he’s worked with them.
He’s a self righteous guy you can tell.
Always has been.
It feels like people have this misconception that they hate each other. Glad this clears things up.
It is kinda surprising to hear that they get along so well, because they are such different people. That, and let's be honest here, Punk doesn't get along with all that many people.
Punk was right to many superstars are yes men to vince and he got used to having it his way and when cm punk challenge his authority vince doesnt like that and fired him it makes sense now
Pretty sure he was fired because he refused to appear in any WWE show for about six moths, hell I would also fire an employee who just stop presenting to work the way Punk did
@@Ryfem he said that to mislead, in the Colt cabana podcast he said something like "I was so unhappy I went to Vince and say him I didnt wanna wrestle anymore, I just dont feel any more pasion for it, Im hurt, Im tired and I just dont wanna keep wasting my life for something is not worth it for me anymore", also search the Chris Van Vliet interview with him, that was a couple weeks before he was "fired", he said "Im NEVER, NEVER gonna go back to WWE".
If you search for reports during January of that year, he was very clear he didnt wanna wrestle anymore and that he left the company.
I dont know If he was suspended, but wouldnt you do that to a person who just said he would never gonna come back to work? Also I think WWE didnt fire him before because they wanted to keep sellig his shirts as long as they could, since Cm punk merch waa still very popular
@@ReaperFrost and then they asked him to return in a pay per view and he said he's getting married so he will talk about this after coming back from honeymoon. And send him Letter on his wedding day.
Also WWE lied that he quiet WWE but after his win against WWE in court. Vince apologize to him for that (saving his image that's it)
This statement is laughable 😂😂
On the contrary actually. From a lot of accounts, Vince is someone who respects people who stand up to him. He's more likely to dislike somebody if he thinks that guy is weak and a push-over, which is one of the reasons why John Morrison never got much of a push.
Vince didn't fire Punk for standing up to him. He fired Punk for walking out on RAW and not showing up to work for half a year.
Punk is not the first one who said that all that "family talk" in WWE is BS. They treat you like a toy and family only exists as long as they might owe something to you, so you might not als for it. As soon as this gos the otherway it's not family, it's business. Punk got his released paper on his wedding day with AJ, that tells you how they are.
Every job does that, or at least every one I've had as an adult. "We love you" til you make too much $ or you become otherwise replaceable and then all that family talk goes out the window

I preferred The Rock in the Attitude Era, compared to his Dwayne 'The Rock' part time role from 2011-2013. It didn't seem like the same person. The Nation of Domination, corporate and Hollywood Heel Rock had that arrogant, narcisistic, egocentric persona that was so entertaining. When he returned to face Cena and Punk, he seemed like a shell of his former self, who would just suck up to the crowd. It was sad to see.
They all mellow out as they get older
Well Rock had to be scaled back due to A: PG and B: PC. Most Rock promos circa 2000 wouldn't fly today due to some of the connotations and other potentially offensive verbiage he used to use which weren't shunned back then.
Well he was face
Nah he was perfect, he just should’ve kept the sunglasses
Cause he's full on baby face when he returned. Obviously there's gonna bea huge difference. Take into account how family friendly focused WWE was when he returned too and you get your answer.

So basically..no big deal...two guys talking it out and coming to an understanding

He just signed with RAW❤❤
I'm looking forward to seeing Punk's run in the AEW. I grew up in a time in the early to mid 2000's on a wrestling forum and he really was all the talk while he was in ROH. He was the "next guy up" I'm the underground circuit of the wrestling forums and Indy wrestling. Then he signed with WWE and was on ECW. I watched his first few years, then got out of wrestling pretty much. I was happy to see him make it big in the WWE, guys like that rarely do. But I never was attached to him like some of my favorite wrestlers....I really appreciate his love for wrestling and the business. But he definitely comes off as egotistical at times in everything I've watched with him. A little narcissistic sometimes, and he seems to complain a lot. Just using this AEW run as a fresh start. Khan, Rhodes, Jericho, etc will have to manage him very carefully.
I don't wrestle but the same issues exists where I work
The Rock will always make appearances he’s a hall of famer.

@@nothing5283 The Rock is definitely a hall of famer lol
He makes appearances because of his family ties to them going back to his grandmother and adoptive grandfather, Peter Maivia and father, Rocky.

And no, this isn’t a “mental health isn’t just as important” thing either. Point is, Vince can afford to drain his mental strain, his workers couldn’t afford to NOT break their literal backs at the time. To this day they are still considered independent contractors and have to get their own health insurance

We want AJ Lee and CM Punk back @WWE
Truth, I only saw CM Punk in TNA prior to going to the WWE. He really was really treated like crap. I mean had he taken time off on TNA then I would have not been surprised. Punk demanded to be the best and he could not handle the chaos of being the top. Those at the top really don’t last that long on the top. As for the Rock he brings a lot of viewers and is now an established A grade star. CM Punk lost his MMA matches, was not destroyed by Brock and was given clean victories over Cena. To say he was treated bad is bs. He should have taken time off but he knew it would mean he would lose his spot and as much as CM Punk claims he was pushed reality is he was pushed to be the top star and couldn’t handle it.
"he was pushed to be the top star and couldn't handle it"? Lets analyze that statement:
The biggest match of his career was Money in the Bank 2011, he wasn't even on the poster.
He dropped the title at summerslam 2011, one month later - which he *also* wasn't even on the poster for, despite being the most popular wrestler in the world.
The next PPV he lost to a guy(Triple H) that wasn't even an active wrestler
The very next night Punk's rematch clause was explained away by putting him in a triple threat
A match that he lost when he was pinned at the next PPV.
After this, the next PPV he was in a tag match with Triple H, which again, punk was pinned and lost.
From the match he won at money in the bank for his first title run until after losing the title to Rock on his second run, he was on the PPV poster *twice*
That sound like being treated like the top star?
@@Reaprar He did get the title was on the video game cover was multiple times on posters as the headline and was given consecutive wins over Jon Cena to include big matches. Add to the fact that he was able to get multiple attacks against Brock Lesner who demolished Cena and Randy to the point where Jericho thought Lesner took advantage of Randy. So yeah he was pushed and kept being a dick to other wrestlers and backstage writers. To top it off did he attempt to look like a Champion while holding the title? No he stayed the same way and attempted nothing new. As for the back and forth between Punk and the Rock, punk was a snooze and did get okays with the Rock about the insults. He did a better job with MJF who has a lot less time behind the mike. Finally let’s see Triple H, a wrestler who finished a match where you can see his leg muscle break, CM Punk was sued by a doctor that examined him prior to CM Punk leaving the WWE with complaints that had they been true we both know CM Punk would have sued. Even if they had been partly real CM Punk would have sued instead of bitching online. Which was what really boosted CM Punk his online complaints.
@@rob9241
"he was on the videogame cover"
The devs at THQ have stated in multiple interviews for years that they had to fight the company to put Punk on the game cover, WWE wanted sheamus on it.
"was multiple times on posters"
He was on 2 posters during his run despite being the most popular wrestler in the world by every metric for years. In the same time span they put guys on the posters that weren't even active wrestlers.
You conveniently left out the fact that the end result of the lawsuit was punk winning the case.
The fact that you have to try and reach to all these inconsequential things because it's simply undeniable that Punk was treated unfairly is proof enough of it's own. There has not been a single world champion to date that was as over as Punk was while being completely suppressed as he was.
His victories over Cena weren’t clean. Money in the bank 2011: Punk took out Cena who had his back turned stopping a screwjob. Summerslam 2011: Cena had his leg on the ropes when Punk got the pin. night of champions 2012: Punk won by default because Cena apparently didn’t pin him properly (that was for heel punk while the other two were face punk). If you’re going to call bs, recognize your own. Cena was still protected just enough for the company to still have the kids believe he was invincible at the time while the story could get pushed along without focusing on it
@@JThom529 Pipebomb had Cena on the mat for how long? You called victories over Cena as protected that is because Cena was the top star CM Punk would get the shot execute then bitch about his treatment over the internet. Punk was called an internet darling for a reason, his bitching.

CM Punk does say a lot of stuff that makes your head scratch. So he implies it would be weird working with the Rock because he had a huge hollywood team with him when they met, but then admits that the Rock was completely cool with adjusting stuff just to make Punk happy and cut out his hollywood guys so just the two of them could plan out the match. So what exactly is the problem then? lol, why did we even need a whole story there?
I like him, enjoyed his matches, and he's clearly an entertaining guy but he really goes whine about everything.
But he wasn't whining. At all. He got asked about it, he gave his own take and basically said they were cool. Don't get caught up in the media circus.
