This was taken down a few months ago but now it’s back! We should have a Patriot video in the next day or two. Thanks you for patience whilst I move out of the dump known as Bridgwater Bay!
It was cool in the clip of NJ celebrating his win that he had a box of ECW toy weapons on the wall behind him ❤ even New Jack was a big kid at heart - you normally only see wrestlers having figures of themselves.
Well abyss has a career in TNA spanning I believe over a decade. So I can think his most common opponent was probably Jeff Hardy? Other than that if he wasn’t in a feud with them I don’t think there were too many repeats
I also remember reading that back when D Low was in the WWE in the 90's and everyone was leaving for WCW, D Low started telling people he was going to leave for WCW in three months when his contract was up, but he misread his contract and actually had a year and three months left so the WWE buried him.
"he puts some brass knuckles on but punk levels him with a chair... another 2 count!" I love how well done your videos are! huge thanks! keep up the quality. we recognize the sacrifices you make when having to get through some of rougher patches.
Yes brother!!!! Glad you managed to acquire the footage! Whoever got the footage to you deserves a belly rub! And please do some reading of the comments using those voices again.
Excellente, i remember seeing the list on recent Hawk video and noticing CM Punk in TNA got a B grade and i was wondering "wait theres a CM Punk in TNA video?" But couldnt find it. Thanks for the re-up, dawg!
Jason Cross is one of those that should have been a star but sadly injuries and personal problems(and minor mental health issues) got in his way and kept him from really breaking out, would have loved to see what he would have turned out to be eventually
@@riverds4925 I think there’s no way in hell with how much AEW has teased it that it’s fake. Plus announcing a huge show in his hometown in two weeks while doing all these teases just feels like it’s inevitable.
@@riverds4925 I normally would agree. I have laughed dozens of times when a debut is being hinted at and everyone says "It's Punk! It's def CM Punk" Fortunately it looks like he is coming to AEW. Whether for commentary or management or a wrestler I have no idea. But it looks like he is indeed coming to AEW in Chicago
How many matches did Funk have in TNA? Can his TNA run be in ROTH? "What about me? What about Raven?" Its all about you Raven! I think EVERYONE has gotta love the fact Punk is ALWAYS getting in to backstage fights and ALWAYS loses them, only winning against TK and lucky not to be sued for a lot of money for it! Every time ive seen anyone mention Punk in a shoot interview they are always laughing about how aggressive he is and how hard he thinks he is but then he always loses the fights he starts 😂😂😂
Kinda makes me wonder how good a match has to be for a wrestler to get an A. Your standards are high. So someday I'd like to see a video on your detailed criteria. Still entertaining though. I always look forward to any ring of the hawk videos.
His criterias were listed when he started the series. You have to remember: he's grading the wrestler not the match. The match might be amazing but if the guy your grading does little to nothing, he doesn't get the high rating.
When he started the series he showed the criteria. One of the main factors is he purely judges the wrestler in question, not the match itself. So even if the match is pretty good, if the wrestler in question doesn't do much, loses, botches etc it drives the score down. If you want to see almost all As watch Markus rating of New Jack in TNA. Because New Jack brought it in every match and always went for it
Idk if anyone has already said this but since you didn’t watch his WWE run, Id highly recommend giving his WWECW run a watch as it was one of the few things, besides the 2 decent PPVs, that actually added massively well to that ECW
so CM Punk teamed with the guy who wrestled 2 Cold Scorpio in heroes of wrestling? well now i KNOW this is gonna turn out terribly. great video, marky! i think the original upload was the first video i ever saw from you.
So weird watching young CM Punk be a bland, underneath workrate kid. I never saw early TNA so this is welcome. Shane Douglas vs CM Punk sounds like it would've been dope in the 90s, when Douglas had passion. Speaking of which: why not doing Douglas in TNA? I don't think he had many matches.
If he had less then 30 matches in ECW are we able to do one for Rey Mysterio jr I feel like if he doesn't earn your first A that he would come close to it
Did Steve Corino have a run in TNA worth reviewing? It's unreal that not hardly any of these shorter runs were that good. I mention Corino because he was great with the "brief runs" in ROH and other promotions back then. He'd do a great quick angle and back to Japan, where he did most of his work at the time. Something tells me he might have had a TNA run sometime in the 2000's.
Punk in the Straight Edge Society might be a fun one to cover, imo that was his best run. I never really liked his work in the indies or his early WWE stuff, he eventually grew on me like a fungus backstage in TNA.
@@bushysowavvey not sure if you’re serious but yes. He has what looks like a pesi logo on his arm/shoulder. Probably not meant to be the pesi logo but really looks like it. santino had a good bit in the wwe. Kane was looking for punk and ask santino. Santino shitting his pants goes Yes I saw next to the pesi machine.
Honestly, TNA probably never signed anyone that could an overall grade higher than a "C", as the vast majority of their best talent were their homegrown wrasslers. The Hawk doesn't grade on a curve.
You're correct on those 3. You could probably throw in Slap Nutz too...but I meant "most" as in the majority. There always are exceptions to the rule. But will the Hawk cover these 3 who had years on the card, not just short runs ? Idk
Can we get a Sabu video or a Pentagon Jr video? If not those 2 just give us more Lucha Underground please. Someone on Lucha Underground can do the J-O-B!
Feel like punk is super super delusional. When was he ever the best in the world? Even in a low rent company like this he was a lil better than a jobber
At the time of this upload CM Punk got himself a C, but when I saw the other report cards of Ring of The Hawk in later videos of Ring Of the Hawk, Punk upgraded to a B. Since this vid series began I’ve waited for that one wrestler to get that A. I start to notice that a lot of the B scored wrestlers of Ring Of the Hawk is REALLY that good. I can’t even imagine who that A score wrestler would be because the D’s & C’s are populating right now.
The most surprising thing is that D'Lo Brown actually wrestled and kept up with and AJ Styles, CM Punk and Jason Cross. O_o I tend to expect such wrestlers spending all their time leaning on the ropes and mid-kicking people in the gut. I guess TNA wasn't as much of a joke at this time as it became.
This was only a year or two removed from his WWE run. He was a good wrestler in his day. By his second TNA run he was just another fat, washed up guy who leant on the ropes and kicked people in the gut.
do CM punk in TNA
Lol
Great suggestion. Would love to see this
Damnit that was my recommendation
@@posteveryside-beatsnews Why hasn't he done this? I'd be so excited to see Punk in a sub-standard promotion.
Yeah shuv it man listen to your audience XD
This was taken down a few months ago but now it’s back! We should have a Patriot video in the next day or two. Thanks you for patience whilst I move out of the dump known as Bridgwater Bay!
Where’s the goat heading?
@@Elvispuppy into the middle of nowhere near a hawk rescue centre. And that’s not even a joke.
@markyd123 You can run, you can hide but you’ll never be far from a wild slapnuts
How about Eddie Guerrero in ECW?
Ivelisse's run in AEW. Contender for the Ring of the Hawk. J.O.B 😁
New Jack will forever be champion in ring of the hawk in my heart.
It was cool in the clip of NJ celebrating his win that he had a box of ECW toy weapons on the wall behind him ❤ even New Jack was a big kid at heart - you normally only see wrestlers having figures of themselves.
Damn did Abyss wrestle everybody in TNA a thousand times. If he ever did an Abyss video it would be 4 hrs long
Well abyss has a career in TNA spanning I believe over a decade. So I can think his most common opponent was probably Jeff Hardy? Other than that if he wasn’t in a feud with them I don’t think there were too many repeats
From what I understand punk really hated his run in TNA and was pretty resentful to them for the way that they handled him in the company
based on this video, I can't say I blame him, he at least steered clear of Slapnuts, Russo and the millions of run-ins they always planned..
Wasn't he also resentful of how WWE handled him? Seems a common theme lol
@@corey2232 Hard to tell if he was just doing it as a work since he’s still a heel as of this comment.
@@WhipLashJimmyFrank I've only seen a few of his AEW matches, but he was definitely the baby face in those. Did something change before his injury?
Weird. Seems like everywhere he goes he hates it and his issues. Hmm.
I had said it for years. D low is one of the most underrated/overlooked wrestlers to ever perform in the ring.
The whole accident with droz kind of fucked his career shame but you’re right he was a great preformer
@Guyinthecommentsection who has said he’s dangerous ?
I also remember reading that back when D Low was in the WWE in the 90's and everyone was leaving for WCW, D Low started telling people he was going to leave for WCW in three months when his contract was up, but he misread his contract and actually had a year and three months left so the WWE buried him.
Why'd you stop??
Once HHH dominated the main shows I used to prefer Heat and got into the jobbers, many were underrated. I remember Lita's debut on Heat 😂
Jimmy Rave´s promo cracks me up all the time.. woooo
It's Jimmy rave and I'm ready to get this match over with so we can party woooooo
Yes!
"he puts some brass knuckles on but punk levels him with a chair...
another 2 count!"
I love how well done your videos are! huge thanks! keep up the quality. we recognize the sacrifices you make when having to get through some of rougher patches.
5:36 holy shit I’ve never seen that move, what a beauty
Just found this channel two days ago and Oh my God it's fantastic work
For someone that wasn't known for their technical prowess, The Sandman's DDT/Leg Sweep combo was pretty good XD
Booker T in TNA next for "Ring of the Hawk" or a better idea,Slapnuts in WCW!
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this to be reuploaded, thank you Marky
Yes brother!!!!
Glad you managed to acquire the footage!
Whoever got the footage to you deserves a belly rub!
And please do some reading of the comments using those voices again.
He says during it download impact plus its great
Excellente, i remember seeing the list on recent Hawk video and noticing CM Punk in TNA got a B grade and i was wondering "wait theres a CM Punk in TNA video?" But couldnt find it. Thanks for the re-up, dawg!
Love your videos thanks for bringing up great archives you truly are a TH-cam Star. And that's the bottom line.
Back when TNA had a big crowd.
Jason Cross is one of those that should have been a star but sadly injuries and personal problems(and minor mental health issues) got in his way and kept him from really breaking out, would have loved to see what he would have turned out to be eventually
Seeing as there's rumors that CM Punk's coming out of retirement (though not sure if true or false), it's fitting that this video comes out!
prob not
@@riverds4925 I think there’s no way in hell with how much AEW has teased it that it’s fake. Plus announcing a huge show in his hometown in two weeks while doing all these teases just feels like it’s inevitable.

Good time for a ReUP....Also weird seeing a dude I grew up watching in my area in the beginning of the video (saw Derek Wylde a lot growing up)
I have PTSD hearing "Then there's a ref bump" from the Jeff Jarrett video.
How many matches did Funk have in TNA? Can his TNA run be in ROTH?
"What about me? What about Raven?"
Its all about you Raven!

That northern lights chair suplex was a thing of beauty.
For punk and Julio to be able to say they tag team wrestled all of those legends is dope.
Can we have Scott Steiner in RKK for ROH its defo under 30.
Heya Marky again I second what's being said here along with Steiner both would be epic in my eyes.
I third this, return of RKK should happen again
YES
YES
Yes Scott Steiner please
I'm thankful Wes Brisco had too many matches for ring of the hawk.
Pepsi with extra flavor.
Kinda makes me wonder how good a match has to be for a wrestler to get an A. Your standards are high. So someday I'd like to see a video on your detailed criteria. Still entertaining though. I always look forward to any ring of the hawk videos.
Agreed lol
Shove it, there is an A in this vid
His criterias were listed when he started the series. You have to remember: he's grading the wrestler not the match. The match might be amazing but if the guy your grading does little to nothing, he doesn't get the high rating.
Maybe El Santo o Blue Demon could get an AAA or him watching Beer Money in AAA Lucha Libre.
When he started the series he showed the criteria. One of the main factors is he purely judges the wrestler in question, not the match itself. So even if the match is pretty good, if the wrestler in question doesn't do much, loses, botches etc it drives the score down. If you want to see almost all As watch Markus rating of New Jack in TNA.

An early TNA video without a wild Slapnuts!
As someone who was never a fan of the sandman, this was errr interesting lol
Hold up. Matt Stryker? Matt styker, either way it isn't the ex ecw announcer from wwe. Dude, you made my brain explode
jesus CM Punk has always been really un athletic, have no idea what convinced him to go to UFC
Damn ace Steele was in shape can’t believe that’s the same person
Take a normal ass TNA wrestler and slap a pepsi logo on his shoulder and you've got Punk.
No, you get a normal ass TNA wrestler with a pepsi tattoo
“To calm him down” 😂😂😂😂
You gotta be from near me in weston super mare with an accent like that. Great channel. 👍
PIGEON IS BACK
Rofl. "Incredible in the ring" is not something I've ever heard said about Punk
Surpried there was no "A wild Slapnuts appears" in this episode.
Idk if anyone has already said this but since you didn’t watch his WWE run, Id highly recommend giving his WWECW run a watch as it was one of the few things, besides the 2 decent PPVs, that actually added massively well to that ECW
so CM Punk teamed with the guy who wrestled 2 Cold Scorpio in heroes of wrestling?
well now i KNOW this is gonna turn out terribly.
great video, marky! i think the original upload was the first video i ever saw from you.
Hey Marky will we be getting Eric Bischoffs 12 matches in WWE on ROH
Yeh for sure
@@Markyd123 you Don
So weird watching young CM Punk be a bland, underneath workrate kid. I never saw early TNA so this is welcome.
Shane Douglas vs CM Punk sounds like it would've been dope in the 90s, when Douglas had passion.
Speaking of which: why not doing Douglas in TNA? I don't think he had many matches.
Was with ya up til Douglas. Lol
it's absolutely crazy that punk and aj never had a singles match in tna
Julio Dinero looks like a budget Matt Hardy
Raizin looks like a war metal bröugh
Pepsi Punk sure had sandman's junk in his face an awful lot.
If he had less then 30 matches in ECW are we able to do one for Rey Mysterio jr
I feel like if he doesn't earn your first A that he would come close to it
Why does Douglas look like Sandman loll
So Punk always looked like crap through his entire career. His TNA attire looks like that of a hung over dude at a Hardcore concert.
Had they been able to keep CM Punk man TNA in the 2000s would have been crazy
2 years later and I’m wondering if you have ever done a Cam Punk in TNA yet
D-Lo was so underrated.
Shoutout to the back of CM Punks head

A rare Slim J sighting!
Why does everyone say Punk is overrated? It's ridiculous.
Marky D! Love your vids can you do a video of Perry Saturn in tna 2003 he wrestled 9
Matches
You gotta watch CM Punk on 2009 SmackDown. This was cursed by shitty booking.
Markey loves his brick
Have you got Mike Sanders in TNA?
Honestly, TNA probably never signed anyone that could an overall grade higher than a "C", as the vast majority of their best talent were their homegrown wrasslers. The Hawk doesn't grade on a curve.
Kurt angle? christain? Sting ?
You're correct on those 3. You could probably throw in Slap Nutz too...but I meant "most" as in the majority. There always are exceptions to the rule. But will the Hawk cover these 3 who had years on the card, not just short runs ? Idk

Tough grader reminds me of my 8th grade English teacher lmao
And all of a sudden a wild slapnuts didn’t appear 😲🤔
Do D’lo brown in WWF
New subscriber, great videos mate
he definitely would have had more than 30 matches in wwf
Feel like punk is super super delusional. When was he ever the best in the world? Even in a low rent company like this he was a lil better than a jobber
He's basically Austin Aries before Austin Aries
Wrestling was still REALLY good here
can we get amazing red's 2002-2004 tna run?
They were chanting for Pepsi because punks finisher at the time was the Pepsi plunge iirc
No wild slapnuts
Who knew Johnny swinger was in TNA for so long

No one other than AJ Styles and Kurt Angle in TNA deserve an A. :3
I think ric flair will get it
I honestly can't think of anyone other than Kurt Angle
I actually have a CM PUNK TNA trading card
Stone Cold Steve Austin in ECW he had to have less than thirty
The obvious one is ultimo dragon in WWE
This was nice but you should do Punk in TNA
12:57 ITS LAZZ!!!!!
What about CM Punk in TNA?
Did you do a Mr Anderson video yet? He did a segment dressed up as old school Sting with Disco/Gilberti that was hilarious.
The most surprising thing is that D'Lo Brown actually wrestled and kept up with and AJ Styles, CM Punk and Jason Cross. O_o

Wait cm punk was in TNA?
Do fake razor Ramon and fake diesel pls

Lod came out to the abyss theme
I think you should bump Punk up to low B. Yeah some of the matches were rough, but it was camerawork that downgraded some of the matches.
How the hell is Abyss in every damn video? lol
Man did Punk ever win a match in TNA
And last week in 2023 AEW let CM PUNK go after a backstage incident with Jack Perry aka Jungleboy at AEW ALL IN
