some jack -off in the Wrestling Pres said that CM Punk was estimated to be worth 52 milion $ to AEW. I thing the article was in late 2022. Can not find it again. ........Tony Khan is the biggest idiot in history. He just threw the damn golden goose out the window.
I think he shows up at Double or Nothing and so begins The Summer of Punk leading up to All Out and his redemption against MJF and regaining what rightfully belongs to him!
he went from having the crowd chanting "who are you" to firing them up and chant CM punk lol, this is why you dont shit on people just cus you dont know them
this is the most underrated promo in the history of professional wrestling. this promo goes under the hype of Elite-CM Punk dispute. CM Punk has earned my respect.
This might be one of my favourite CM Punk segment. Perfect depth, perfect Storytelling, perfect emotions and perfect hype. Ace Steel is a true legend. I'm excited.
Incredible promo by Ace Steel, practically unknown to most wrestling fans (even got some “who are you” chants from the fans), but by the end of the promo he had that arena going, great moment.
I know this got overshadowed by the incident that weekend, but that line about being born with the cord around his neck was one of the best he's ever done
Watching this months later I still get goosebumps. This is easily the best segment AEW ever produced. Punk's the last guy that can truly make you feel something. Not even MJF can make you feel like that. AEW needs him back. Wrestling needs him back.
@@Stormshadowww I blame that more on Tony's booking. He hasn't put anyone worth anything against MJF since MJF won the belt. Tony should have booked Starks against MJF when Ricky was super over, but instead Starks to Jericho and fucked it all up. Starks vs MJF would have been a great first successful defense for MJF and would have elevated Ricky Starks if they worked the match and finish right.
@@SaurabhBisht-dz3fs The Pillars fued was an absolute joke that made no sense and benefitted no one. The Danielson one was decent, would have been better if Danielson wasn't tied to that idiotic stable.
That slap in the face woke CM Punk up really quick, so he can know exactly who the hell he is cause we've all been through this situation but we can never show weakness about anything.
This proves me a lot that Cm Punk is still with AEW after the controversies that happened in All Out. If Punk really care for the fans, he must return.
One of punks best promos yet, with big thanks to ace steel. The if you forgot who you were, tell him Chicago followed by the cm punk chants was amazing, the topic of punk “getting back up” and not being done yet after set backs is a perfect set up for a phenomenal entrance at All Out to “This Fire Burns” even if it’s a one off entrance like “Miseria Cantera” was, it would still be a legendary moment.
I hope you’re right. But if we dont see cm punk by the time double or nothing happens, or at most the dynamite after DoN, then i think the faith in it being a work is long gone
Gotta admit, I got goosebumps when Ace Steel started the tough love & Punk ripped his hoodie off…. Then the whole crowd thing was the icing on the cake
Ace Steel is a legend lol. The man cut his first promo on national tv, it being one of the best promos in the history of wrestling, literally bit the arguable best wrestler in the world, and was fired in the span of like a week.
I hope you are in your 20's or something like that. He's getting a rematch for losing in less than 3 min. Titles mean nothing, so many wrestlers having titles for no reason too.
@@tonyp9313 No he isn't, he's getting a rematch because he signed an open contract. That's the storyline reason, get your negative internet critic head out of your arse.
@@thebigbop5866 It's called a rematch. Which makes 0 sense. Why wouldn't any other AEW talent come out & sign it? Also just cuz Ace Steel had the paper to make Punk sign it, doesn't mean this had to be official. Also Mox is a fighting champion wanting challenges. So if he beat Punk in less than 3 min & thinks that Punk can't wrestle, then he should not accept Punk's rematch. It should go to any other AEW wrestler.
@@tonyp9313 A) It's an open challenge that happens to technically be a rematch, he is not getting rewarded for losing, he is getting rewarded by chance, like Rocky got rewarded with a fight against Apollo Creed in Rocky by chance. (B) Nobody else signed it because Ace grabbed it before anybody else had the opportunity, it was right there on the screen. (C) It's official because Mox agreed to it. (D) He is a fighting champ but it stuck in his craw that Punk was the recognised champ through his entire reign and he's still pissed off about it and he wants to clearly put him in the ground more.

ACE STEEL got me sooo hyped I had tears in my eyes. This promo felt strong, genuine and emotional. I love getting emotionally invested in feuds and stories.

Say what you want about Punk, but at the end, those are the eyes of a guy who is passionate about what he's doing. This guy is untouchable on a microphone.
This is a dumpster fire of a story. He got squashed JUST LAST WEEK with a supposed injury and now just at the snap of a finger and a pep talk from some guy no one's ever seen he's fine and can beat Moxley? It's ridiculous, breaks the illusion, and insults the viewer's intelligence.
@@WritingandFighting I see your point. And agree about punk's coach (though even that worked for me)I didn't see it as a squash at the time, felt like donovan bailey vs Michael Johnson's 150m race when donovan bailey pulled up halfway. Not sure why they had the dynamite match but enjoying the promos so much getting swept up into it. I think dumpster fire is unfair but I can see why you might not like it
They should make him punk's manager and eventually make punk go heal there's money to be made with that punk doesn't need a manager but just like with Paul Heyman it just makes him more confident and let someone else do the talking when he doesn't need to it will do wonders for punk
Guess this promo being in Chicago has nothing to do with it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and a Chicago crowd is NEVER split on punk.. he’s god mode in Chicago. Meh… MJF still cuts better promos 🤷🏾♂️
Seriously, since AEW started, the promos have been so emotional, so deep. I mean, so many people in AEW have promos to go down as legends, hell even jungle boy lit up the mic against Christian Cage of all people.
That's one of the percs of not having a script to recite. They have a general idea of what they're gonna say but that's it, promos are formed organically with their own words (and they can swear, which makes it feel more natural). Most wrestlers are not "good actors" in that they can only play their own character, if their character is forced to say something that isn't natural it shows instantly. (bad side of having no script at all is that when it goes wrong, it goes wrong.)
Thats true, the problem is Khans booking former champs having no story acrs and barely any matches for weeks even months on end.....supposed future stars Hook Danhausen wrestling what once a month if that in 30 second matches....etc he needs booking help period....
@Dave lol you guys are weird. Just listen to the crowd. Punk is a legend, Mox got midcarder level reactions. Any territory would have been embarrassed to get a Mox reaction.
@Dave hahahahaha mox is like whacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man and talks like he just had one line too many. He's a stone cold cosplayer. Nobody will remember him in 20 years. CM Punk will be remembered.
The fact that everyone is already talking about the heel turn leads me to believe they're gonna throw us a curveball, for no other reason than to swerve us.
@@shadeedholmes That's fine but a large part of the audience (including me) is getting sick of the face run, especially after the backstage controversy. Also, this segment was one big pity party. If this is their idea of a good babyface..😬
@@GangmakerZaken Backstage controversy…? Please stop watching these dirt sheet channels that put Meltzer hearsay out there. Just say he’s a boring face and give valid reasons.
@@GangmakerZaken Bro, CM Punk is an incredible babyface hahaha! There's a reason they'd been begging for him to come back for like 7 years. Get over yourself kiddo. There was a never a heel turn coming. Just a massive circlejerk from a few hundred thousand stinky virgins
How can you hate CM Punk? This is the embodiment of pro wrestling. It’s so real. Cody Rhodes does the exact same thing - we want him to finish the story, because his story isn’t fake. It’s real.
I love how this was executed like the “hero regains his inspiration” moment when actually it was the “villain sets out for revenge” scene - all of which will be revealed at All Out
This is set up perfectly for Punk to cheat to win. I'd like for Ace Steel to accompany him to the ring, make it seem inspirational, and then Steel is the one handing him a chair when the ref is down to beat the shit out of Moxley. Let Steel be his ringside lackey for the heel run. (For those that don't know, Steel is already working for AEW in a backstage role so he'll be traveling with them anyway.)
@@Phyrre56 I think that is the best way to go, ace will be there to champion punk as the greatest of all time. Kinda feels like what he did with Paul but he’ll have more creative control
Nah. This whole thing is giving me will he/won’t he turn Cody vibes. I don’t think punk has any intention of turning heel anytime soon (if ever), the fan base have been convinced of a turn incoming since his fued with Kingston but here we are months later in the same spot. Don’t let this become another Cody situation.
Honestly this was a great segment. This was one of the matches I didn’t care as much to see. But I got pretty hype from this. Looking forward to the PPV this weekend.
Dumb booking. Why have him lose the title on live tv, just to wrestle for the title again at the ppv? Punk wins, Mox looks weak by losing the title almost 2 weeks after he unified the belts. Mox wins, and the crowd will leave angry.
@@EliC09 I agree, I don’t understand why they had that previous title match when they did . But this was still a good segment and got me pretty excited for their match on Sunday.
I wasn't sure about the squash.. but I will say they did things differently than expected. I think that alone is a nice change of pace from the normal predictable wrestling booking we've seen for years. Im interested to see how this all turns out at the ppv.
You weren't sure about it because those youtube wresrling Channel drama queens want to tell you what to think. Instead of you know.... Watching and seeing how it plays out instead. Apparently aew is falling apart and everyone hates you.....according to backstage rumors or course....
@@k.t.1641 lol... im a 51 year old grown ass adult.. those wrestling review shows are marks using click bait and stirring shit. They would have us believe CM punk is the worst most toxic person on earth... I don't pay them much attention.. not cornette not Meltzer none of them.
Ace slapping Punk here gave me Vito Corleone slapping Johnny Fontaine vibes from The Godfather (1972): "You can act like a MAN! What's wrong with you!" Just absolute perfection!!!!
You guys thought this would be the last time you saw this man on weekly TV after All Out 2022. You thought wrong. See you on the premier of AEW Collision
This was an excellent segment. I have to believe that Punk saying “maybe that love just isn’t enough anymore” (referring to the fans love of him) is him foreshadowing the use of some underhanded tactics at All Out. I’m Definitely on board for a heel CM Punk, we all know that when he’s at his best.
Not believable at all. Goes from I’m ok to wrestle, to a 90 second squash match because his foot is faulty, to maybe I should hang it up to I am gonna main event a PPV 46 seconds later. Terrible terrible terrible booking
@@josgor9061 stfu it means Chicago is a TOUGH place to live and only the STRONG survive the weak is killed by not doing what it takes to survive in a cold environment from Chicago im from Chicago so I can talk abt it
@@kevinbaker1642 then go watch something else if you don't really care about this s*** you may think the booking is terrible it's going to be another great match so deal with it a lot of wrestlers don't sell injury as well either just ask Seth Rollins he sells injuries terribly
Wow. Seeing that sad look on his face almost made me cry, too. Very emotional how he got his confidence back when they were all chanting his name. Such a great moment! He better come back btw, I stG.
Dude is on a level such that he can easily become the mayor of Chicago I think he'll win like bryan won against AJ styles. I hope MJF returns in All Out
considering not many people actually cheered in the crowd during it and there was even some Colt Cabana chants that got under his skin he wouldn't do well in politics. It would be worse than his MMA run.
I don’t care what yall say. This is promo of the decade for what it stood for. The unpredictability of this feud. Punk’s real-time injury, the battles Mox endured as “Interim” champ, Punk’s subsequent return (in Cleveland) and his downfall yet again (in Cleveland). To come back Chicago with nothing but a participation trophy and NOW this Sunday he’s gonna fight for everything he once had and more. GREAT storytelling that the haters refuse to acknowledge.
I didn't know a guy crying about a title shot was "promo of the decade". Even Hulk Hogan wasn't this bad with blatant creative control changes. I wish I could as good as drugs as you. Maybe you can share with Cocaine Tony so he can start booking better again.
It's going to be shit. There's no way it can even be a believable match if it's anything other than a 30 second squash. Anything other than that after what happened during the title match is simply bad booking and a complete removal of suspension of disbelief. Tony has really fucked the booking on this.
@@TheOfficialGobbledyGooker CM Punk is unforgettable. In a sea of forgettable 5 star circus performances, CM Punk is the only one with a career worth remembering. If only they let Bryan and Starks swim like Punk.

@@shadeedholmes That's fine but a large part of the audience (including me) is getting sick of the face run, especially after the backstage controversy. Also, this segment was one big pity party. If this is their idea of a good babyface..😬
@@GangmakerZaken Backstage controversy…? Please stop watching these dirt sheet channels that put Meltzer hearsay out there. Just say he’s a boring face and give valid reasons.
Impossible to turn punk, in Chicago at least.
@@GangmakerZaken Bro, CM Punk is an incredible babyface hahaha! There's a reason they'd been begging for him to come back for like 7 years. Get over yourself kiddo. There was a never a heel turn coming. Just a massive circlejerk from a few hundred thousand stinky virgins
Sometimes I listen to this exchange instead of drinking coffee in the morning
Tell him Chicago.... "Absolute goosebumps" 🥶🥶🥶
That actually gave me goosebumps and I don't even watch AEW
Damn lie.
When he slapped him that was sick
Right I was bout to start back watching Triple HWwe 🤣🤣🤣
But ur clearly watching aew so u do watch it lol
How can you hate CM Punk? This is the embodiment of pro wrestling. It’s so real. Cody Rhodes does the exact same thing - we want him to finish the story, because his story isn’t fake. It’s real.
I love how this was executed like the “hero regains his inspiration” moment when actually it was the “villain sets out for revenge” scene - all of which will be revealed at All Out
This is set up perfectly for Punk to cheat to win. I'd like for Ace Steel to accompany him to the ring, make it seem inspirational, and then Steel is the one handing him a chair when the ref is down to beat the shit out of Moxley. Let Steel be his ringside lackey for the heel run. (For those that don't know, Steel is already working for AEW in a backstage role so he'll be traveling with them anyway.)
@@Phyrre56 I think that is the best way to go, ace will be there to champion punk as the greatest of all time. Kinda feels like what he did with Paul but he’ll have more creative control
Nah. This whole thing is giving me will he/won’t he turn Cody vibes. I don’t think punk has any intention of turning heel anytime soon (if ever), the fan base have been convinced of a turn incoming since his fued with Kingston but here we are months later in the same spot.
Don’t let this become another Cody situation.
Rematch! Rematch! Rematch!
Yeah, Punk winning the title in Chicago will be one thing. Him revealing his true face for the world to see will be something else entirely.
Cm punk knows how to set a promo love it the crowd goes wild ❌️❌️⚡️⚡️❌️❌️
Ace Made the promo wayyyyyy better
The crowd was dead until Ace came out stupid
@@derrickjohnson1467 considering the alternative is that Punk was talking to a figment of his own imagination, sure
Definitely a good promo as always with CM PUNK
that’s all cm chump is good at cuz wrestling ain’t it
His tears are so real. I feel for Punk. I know he's a fantastic human being.
Honestly this was a great segment. This was one of the matches I didn’t care as much to see. But I got pretty hype from this. Looking forward to the PPV this weekend.
One of worst segments I've ever seen
@@damiendonnadio1995 👍
Dumb booking. Why have him lose the title on live tv, just to wrestle for the title again at the ppv? Punk wins, Mox looks weak by losing the title almost 2 weeks after he unified the belts. Mox wins, and the crowd will leave angry.
@@EliC09 I agree, I don’t understand why they had that previous title match when they did . But this was still a good segment and got me pretty excited for their match on Sunday.
I wasn't sure about the squash.. but I will say they did things differently than expected. I think that alone is a nice change of pace from the normal predictable wrestling booking we've seen for years. Im interested to see how this all turns out at the ppv.
fans: this stuff is too predictable.
cm punk squash
fans: what happened that wasn't suppose to happen tony khan doesn't know what he is doing.
You weren't sure about it because those youtube wresrling Channel drama queens want to tell you what to think. Instead of you know.... Watching and seeing how it plays out instead. Apparently aew is falling apart and everyone hates you.....according to backstage rumors or course....
@@justinjohnson8551 punk talked with mox to make the squash not tony, cuz we all know tony cant book for crap that was a punk and mox decision
@@k.t.1641 lol... im a 51 year old grown ass adult.. those wrestling review shows are marks using click bait and stirring shit. They would have us believe CM punk is the worst most toxic person on earth... I don't pay them much attention.. not cornette not Meltzer none of them.
@@DatBoiiiFresh he had to approve it.
Yeah wrestling needs CM Punk.
This is what wrestling is about this is professional wrestling this is why the bucks and omega wanted him gone
Broo what? Where did you fucking get this idea from?
Exactly! They will never stand for any of the things that Punk stands for!!
Punk is the Babyface hero the bucks wish they could be
Ah yes sucking cm Puck is what professional wrestling is about 🤣🤣
Ellite are just fucking kids in that locker room
I almost shed a tear when CM Punk came back to life again.
Ace slapping Punk here gave me Vito Corleone slapping Johnny Fontaine vibes from The Godfather (1972): "You can act like a MAN! What's wrong with you!" Just absolute perfection!!!!
You guys thought this would be the last time you saw this man on weekly TV after All Out 2022. You thought wrong. See you on the premier of AEW Collision
My cousin and I was right behind him when he signed that contract!!! Crazy night🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a lie
@@ASCUMBAGWh0re I'm in the tie die, he's in the red next to me
I’m suprised you didn’t kiss him lmao
Wow. Did he actually sign the contract or was it just a blank paper?
@@ASCUMBAGWh0re don't give up hope man. I love your energy!
This video gives me strength, motivates me, inspires me. Whenever I feel down, I watch it. Truly blessed to be inspired by the great CM Punk! 🙏🏻❤️
@@nickbernath8 Seek professional help. Or maybe go try and lose your virginity instead of stewing about a guy you’ll never know
Me too.....
I still believe in CM Punk. I NEVER stopped! I am ready for ALL OUT! I sure hope Mox is!!
Age caught up with punkyboy. Times up.
We all need that slap in the face sometimes for us to get back up and Go Hard in The Paint!
9:56 Baby got held up high
7:46 I keep coming to this video because of that dude lifting the baby towards Punk like he's the fucking pope 😂😂
You see this happened at Fanatics Fest a couple days ago?
This was an excellent segment. I have to believe that Punk saying “maybe that love just isn’t enough anymore” (referring to the fans love of him) is him foreshadowing the use of some underhanded tactics at All Out. I’m Definitely on board for a heel CM Punk, we all know that when he’s at his best.
Not believable at all. Goes from I’m ok to wrestle, to a 90 second squash match because his foot is faulty, to maybe I should hang it up to I am gonna main event a PPV 46 seconds later. Terrible terrible terrible booking
“This is Chicago where the weak are killed…” So Punks gonna disrespect all the dead kids from gang violence in Chicago now. AEW is cringe.
@@josgor9061 stfu it means Chicago is a TOUGH place to live and only the STRONG survive the weak is killed by not doing what it takes to survive in a cold environment from Chicago im from Chicago so I can talk abt it
no if anything I see moxley turning heel .moxley will win the match but will cheat to do it.he wil use punks injury and break his ankle
@@kevinbaker1642 then go watch something else if you don't really care about this s*** you may think the booking is terrible it's going to be another great match so deal with it a lot of wrestlers don't sell injury as well either just ask Seth Rollins he sells injuries terribly
What a promo. What a star.
CM punk shows way more emotion and his promos then John moxley does TBH I think he's the only guy that gets me excited for aew at all
wrestling is supposed to make you feel, and thats what cm punk does
@@leviathan2515 that's exactly how I feel
"They've been trying to kill me since the day I was born" fucking rocks.
Wow. Seeing that sad look on his face almost made me cry, too. Very emotional how he got his confidence back when they were all chanting his name. Such a great moment! He better come back btw, I stG.
Dude is on a level such that he can easily become the mayor of Chicago
I think he'll win like bryan won against AJ styles. I hope MJF returns in All Out
What? No he couldn't lmao
considering not many people actually cheered in the crowd during it and there was even some Colt Cabana chants that got under his skin he wouldn't do well in politics. It would be worse than his MMA run.
So he'll deliver a low blow to Mox
@@Omega5678 either this or just imagine this - "MJF does the dirty job for CM Punk and they shake hands"
@@aveekkartekeyupadhyay6925 ooooooooooo
Ace Steel stole the show 😂 That smack to the face did it Like c'mon punk snap out of it Get back in the game sign the Contract...
Get a life
"If you forgot who you were, tell him Chicago"
-Ace Steel now that's a Promo!!
I don’t care what yall say. This is promo of the decade for what it stood for. The unpredictability of this feud. Punk’s real-time injury, the battles Mox endured as “Interim” champ, Punk’s subsequent return (in Cleveland) and his downfall yet again (in Cleveland). To come back Chicago with nothing but a participation trophy and NOW this Sunday he’s gonna fight for everything he once had and more. GREAT storytelling that the haters refuse to acknowledge.
also he’s turning heel
Punk is washed up and I’m a fan of his lol.
Ok mark
This was a really cringe promo.
I didn't know a guy crying about a title shot was "promo of the decade". Even Hulk Hogan wasn't this bad with blatant creative control changes. I wish I could as good as drugs as you. Maybe you can share with Cocaine Tony so he can start booking better again.
This was the best promo segment of the year. AEW hasn't had a promo like this since Mox and Kingston's faceoff.
Forgot about CM Punk and MJF promo was phenomenal
IT looked like CM Punk Signed Form to contest in Chicago parliamentary seat in some State/ Presidential election
CM PUNK is overrated hot trash! This was shit
It had many. You just haven't been watching.
It was 100% Soul and Heart insane
Wow. Ace Steel really bit that one out of the park.
Yes he bit
I promised I wouldn’t bite to your comment!
You lost in Cleveland. So what, so what. Love that line. Hell of a promo! And I’m a Mox guy. Love this
"Cuz we are Chicago!" Woah spine tingling stuff 🤣
I come back here whenever I feel low.
I know people will remember this upcoming match in the future. For better or for worse. Looking forward to it.
We will all forget about it in a month
@@TheOfficialGobbledyGooker oh hi there. I was wondering when you gonna show up lol
Dude hates AEW but shows up to shit talk then goes off to swallow down daddy Cornette.
It's going to be shit. There's no way it can even be a believable match if it's anything other than a 30 second squash. Anything other than that after what happened during the title match is simply bad booking and a complete removal of suspension of disbelief. Tony has really fucked the booking on this.
@@TheOfficialGobbledyGooker CM Punk is unforgettable. In a sea of forgettable 5 star circus performances, CM Punk is the only one with a career worth remembering. If only they let Bryan and Starks swim like Punk.
This is one of the best segment of all time, cm punk is justoo good, on the mic in the ring and even at the commentary
I love how the crowd went quite for those few seconds when he called out Moxley.
This promo captured the spirit of wrestling. It actually made you feel something I loved it!
Your comment and these promos all are cheesy as hell what are you on about
Made you feel something like disappointment?
Agreed
Maybe if you are a chicago resident
@@hectorfigueroa2294 if you start being honest to your self you realize you are just cheering for cheap cheesy content from these companies. I mean just look at how much more engaging and immersive promos and acting was years ago
@@LienoGenesis your redundant chronically counterculture for the sake of being counterculture response is about as robotic and repetitive as these stuck up Meltzer wannabes are now go ahead and use whatever run of the mill, typical response is expected or just be quiet
CM Punk gave us one of the segments of the year 🔥🔥🔥
How many of you were getting bored just like me, and then.. BOOM!!! It just exploded in our face and its awesome.. Thanks Punk for coming back 🥰😍
I love Moxley but this put the biggest smile on my face.
He may not be in his prime but this promo is still in his prime
Ace Steele has so much fucking passion that you can literally feel it when he speaks. He taught Punk well
CM Punk is the only reason i watch AEW. Best in the World
Us
Me too
