"Oops, I'm braking the fourth wall."

Hi Colt Cabana! ...proceeds to call out Colt Cabana and end friendship a few years later.

 

[Webster]

Words he proved time and time again in AEW.

From Punk's AEW "Gripebomb".....
--"I offered [Colt Cabana] money, he said it wasn't enough. He went ahead with the lawsuit, he sued. It's his fuckin' funeral, I don't care. He shares a bank account with his mother, it tells you all you need to know about this kind of character that is."
--"I'm hurt and I'm old, and I'm fuckin' tired, and I work with fuckin' children."
--Mindy's Bakery.
--"Contrary to popular belief, I'm a very nice guy."

Memetic Loser: CM Punk is this for the MMA's and UFC's fanbases. Many jokes are made about his entrance to the UFC and unsuccessful career of 2 losses and no victories, one common is trying to find the absolute worst MMA fighter that could be defeated by Punk.

Paging Kimbo Slice....

Speaking of children. All of that was childish from him.

lol, his career was such a joke

 

[Webster]

Two people who I bet don't like CM Punk: Jerry "the King" Lawler and Mark Callaway (a/k/a the Undertaker)

Moral Event Horizon: If his controversial actions in the past (mocking Jerry Lawler's heart attack RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM for instance) don't count, then his mockery of the recently dead Paul Bearer (not even a week after the fact) most likely will.

Who, Punk's or Slice's?

Airing dirty laundry in a media interview, so classy.

 

[Webster]

I mean, I get Punk's schtick a little bit, but why the hell does he burn his bridges like he does?
I know kayfabe's dead as hell, but still....

Yeah, his game of being the rebel or the outsider or whatever he thinks he is is old, he needs to get beyond that and realize you can walk away gracefully.

No kidding; as much as I love to slag Cena and Roigns--I mean, Reigns, and Stephanie and Haitch and the rest of WWE, can you picture them doing that?

Nope. Not even the idiots at TNA--excuse me, Impact, are that stupid to air their dirty laundry in public.

Agreed, even the morons behind the Katie Vick atrocity don't do that...come on, Punk.

For all the people who love to compare Punk's rebel streak to that of Stone Cold's, they forget that SCSA knew it was a business and knew what lines not to cross. Punk never knew what the difference was and even if he did, he'd still cross it.

 

[Webster]

Then there's Punk's penchant for being....disagreeable to work with.
--Hostility on the Set: Probably too many to list, with his well-known hatred of Triple H being the most famous example. Punk will be the first to tell you that he can be very difficult to work with, and mentioned in an interview after he signed with AEW that he had to give out a lot of apologies when he first met with the rest of the roster. One such case, Eddie Kingston, even ended up being used for a Worked Shoot storyline for Full Gear 2021; the actual heat was from fifteen years ago and an interview with Punk indicated that it was water under the bridge for them now, but they acted as if it were still real onscreen for the sake of their feud. For what it's worth, it's been said he's been very chill and helpful since signing with AEW, and overall much easier to work with than he used to be...or not, given his behavior after All Out 2022, which resulted in a backstage fight and Brooks' subsequent suspension.

Oh 100%. Stone Cold respected the business, Punk just trashed it.

I'll see if I can find it, but Stone Cold was once asked whether he legit hated Vince McMahon like his in-ring persona did and Stone Cold flat said it was just business btwn them in-ring.

The reason: before SCSA came to then-WWF, he'd been cut by WCW because, in the eyes of Eric Bischoff, SCSA's hook at the time wouldn't catch on so Austin and a bunch of crusierweights (Malenko, Saturn, Jericho, Mysterio, Guerrero and Benoit) got cut there. All of them migrated over to WWF and even taking what Benoit is now known for today, all of them became successful in WWF/WWE.

Punk's never gotten that message.

Yep, so many wasted WCW stars that went to WWF and flourish. So many great wrestlers that took their chance and ran with it.
