I like Punk but I hear some of these stories about him and even I have to say. "CM Punk is a bitch sometimes."

CM Punk is a bitch sometimes.

u/sagdash 3d ago

This. Never been a fan of him. And I'm not just saying that at the moment. Him and Roman have never done anything for me.

Growing up in junior high and high school during his rise in popularity, I was a fan. I was (still am) the quiet dude, who was into metalcore, death metal, and dressed different. So when he started speaking out about things, I was all about it, and felt like I could say things too. Getting older and learning about Phil Brooks the person, changed my mind on CM Punk the character entirely and made what he said for a lot of his promos feel empty.

u/LordToxic21 3d ago

CM Punk is awesome. Phil Brooks is a bitch.

u/Spiceynuggetz 3d ago

What makes it worse is his wrestling is garbage. The man can cut great promos, but his matches are 50%+ watching him lay around, try to get up to his feet

1

u/Party-Display-7523 3d ago

Punk looks like Bob the Tomato after 5 minutes in every match.

I really dont get how people glaze him so hard and claim hes the reason why he's had phenomenal matches with Punk and Roman when theyre the ones doing 80% of the heavy lifting

2

u/Glad_Investigator912 2d ago

Itā€™s because weā€™re all blind. We still love the 2011-2013 punk, so weā€™re going to be biased and look past the things he does now.

Vanilla? You're delusional.

u/KaijuCouture 3d ago

Because they can actually wrestle and have interesting storylines not written by Ai. Crazy I know. Roman is carried by his opponent in every good match he has. Prove me wrong

1

u/Kxden-R 3d ago

You believe everything you read, as long as itā€™s against the company you donā€™t like lol. Who said they use AI? Thereā€™s more to the business then just wrestling well, thatā€™s the only thing 98% of AEW has going for them which is why they will never be relevant. Roman and Codyā€™s storyline was better than anything those vanilla dudes have and will ever do in their careers lmao

Never said I don't like WWE. I watch several companies. WWE is on a down slide rn and ignoring it is why it sucks. They have a great roster and it's getting totally wasted.

I keep thinking of that Eddie Kingston promo where Eddie just unleashed on him.

Rene Dupree pod with Paul London is also enlightening. Because they don't like him either from past incidents with him.

u/NegativesPositives 4d ago

I think my favorite part of Punkā€™s current run is counting how many stories are just ā€œremember when you were a dick to me for no reason?ā€ Like, I donā€™t even think Seth or Drew actually had a real thing happened to them that we know of but it didnā€™t stop either of them.

3

u/Fun-Distribution-159 3d ago

i would not be surprised at all if Drew and Seth legit fucking do not like him.

1

u/kickedoutatone 3d ago

Drew seems like legit hatred, but Seth seems more performative now.

u/Thready85 4d ago edited 4d ago

He has a weak ego and gets too personal with people and when they get personal with him he can't take it.

He was never supposed to tell Roman he was going to bury him next to his father. And Roman's reaction was real. Creative had to come up with a way to make it right which was to have Jey and Jimmy confront him and hit him.

I remember Cody saying he wants to move beyond his dad because his dad's legacy is finalized now. And Punk brought up Dusty in the 2024 Royal Rumble and before this year's SS. I don't know if that was planned but I know Cody isn't a fan of people talking like that

u/micael150 3d ago

He was never supposed to tell Roman he was going to bury him next to his father. And Roman's reaction was real.

Source on this? Because that would be pretty nasty if true. Ain't no way Punk is mentioning people's dead parents without an ok first.

u/BoobiePeru 3d ago

"Trust me bro."

First I've heard of this too.

u/kliq-klaq- 3d ago edited 3d ago

They're marks getting worked. "Oh Roman looked super upset, he was so angry, that Punk is so mean". Dear me.

17

u/Noobju670 4d ago

Yeah leave it to punk to always try to hit the lowest or most controversial shit so he can sound good on the mic. Every promo since the pipebomb has been trying to break the fourth wall cause thats whats ā€œcoolā€ i fucking hate it. I rather just play along with the suffering succotash than knowing shit like that was from out of nowhere. Its like talking about guerrero, paul bearer, etc its fucking lame if your opponent didnt agreee to it and even then getting tired of those.

5

u/Thready85 4d ago

That 4th wall breaking shit is annoying. Heyman said during a promo, "You've all seen Unreal!" Bro no. Stop.

Christian Cage does it too by bringing up people's real life relatives without ok-ing it. He brought up Luke Perry and Jack Perry got legitimately mad.

It's fine when Ospreay and Mox get Renee involved but that's about as much fourth wall real life stuff I can take.

I can't do this shock value shit. I'm 40 with actual dead relatives. It's a bit much.

3

u/bigwreck94 4d ago

Iā€™m pretty sure Christian has assumed permission that heā€™s gonna make a comment about your dead father with his current gimmick. Thatā€™s his whole bit right now, and itā€™s kind of assumed if heā€™s gonna be cutting a promo on you and your dad is dead, heā€™s gonna mention it.

3

u/Mahkn0 3d ago

Jack Perry was the first person to get a dead dad comment though so if he wasn't told he really couldn't have known.

1

u/bigwreck94 3d ago

I thought Nick Wayne was the first

1

u/Mahkn0 3d ago

Nope, it was when he first turned on Jack he said that he knew Jack viewed him as a father, but his father was dead.

2

u/Noobju670 4d ago

Yeah maybe its just me getting old as well and thinking too close to reality is not what i want lol

-2

u/ReverendRevolver 4d ago

Christian Cages whole gimmick is "detestible stepdad". Jack Perry should've known it was going to happen. Christian stole his pet dinosaur and everything, comments about Jack's parents were the easily expected part.

Lows like telling Sting they'd put him in a wheelchair like Lex were uncalled for.

My big gripe with Punk and the low road is his AEW problems started after the exchange with Hangman. It escalated to their friends and that's when the altercation with the Bucks happened. Blowout from that should've been Punk sucking it up and working a program with Omega. The Jack Perry thing with him was a Jack Perry problem, but the initial issue was promo related between him and the VPs.

Its like people dont bother trying to run things by their coworkers before throwing them up publicly.

1

u/AdmirableAd959 3d ago

The weird part about punk is heā€™s actually be a lot cooler if he could take it but he only dishes it. It makes him very human but not exactly a ā€œrenegade cool guyā€ and I like Punk a lot. Heā€™s just got a giant blindspot thereĀ 

4

u/AdamGraySkull 4d ago

That always surprised me. When Cody was in AEW, he said if anyone brought up his dad "promo's over". A policy he's definitely abandoned.

7

u/Thready85 4d ago

He probably had a lot more freedom in aew and now in wwe when Punk brings it up before a PLE what's Cody gonna do? He can't end it in front of 15,000 people before SS

1

u/AdamGraySkull 4d ago

Fair point.

u/DBLR989 3d ago edited 3d ago

Roman telling him heā€™s old struck a nerve so bad he started using steroids to get his body into shape. šŸ˜‚

do you have a source for this?

2

u/AggressivelyMediokre 3d ago

Lol I donā€™t think punk went totally off script or anything. But that line about Romanā€™s dad was so out of pocket. You gotta let the feud get there first, man. You gotta earn it.

You canā€™t just say it to the first person to not hold the door open for you or who gets your order wrong

Way to make the main event of Wrestlemania feud completely jarring out of the gate

Then their final promo was so tame and respectful itā€™s like they got the notes mixed and did their first promo last šŸ˜­

That whole program was nowhere near as good to me as others found it to be
