This is the reason that all these years later a guy like Cornette still loves CM Punk, he understands wrestling and the business with nuance that indie wrestlers don’t have anymore
@@MohamadMahmoud-vp6yf it’s funny you make that claim because Cornette rarely talked about Punk one way or the other until Punk was signed to AEW… plus kept making engaging television on AEW that Cornette praised.
@@The.David.Robert watch his review of punk before he stepped foot in AEW. He said he never was a fan of his wrestling but thought he was a good talker
Punk has always been a good median for me. I’d always go back and check out my favorite WWE guys work on the indies and a good majority of Punks work was one of those that would make me proud to be a fan of his and of wrestling in general
@@robertjohnston3931 then the next obvious question is, has he hearf thr Cult of Meat & Cheese song and how hard is he lobbyibg to have that be a special 1 time entrance theme for him

He argued his point very well. This was around the time I first came across CM Punk and first saw ROH a year earlier (never followed it closely or a huge fan but respected it and it did feel refreshing). I respect Punk. No doubt he was talented but never one of my favourites. He came across as different, original and unique. Had good matches and promos but I was never a CM Punk guy. I did respect his straight edge style. A couple of years later in early 2005 I met him at a UK Indy who, a few months before he signed with WWE. He didn't come across anything like he does on this video(which if affable and endearing). He was a dick with a huge chip on his shoulder and a mild prima donna. Admittedly, I was not in a good place in my life as a young 23 year old and was struggling with confidence(had graduated from University about 6 months earlier and was working 2 part time jobs and was struggling with finding permanent work and a career as well as other issues and low wellbeing). He might have thought I was awkward. AJ Styles(arrogant but polite), Christopher Daniels, Mick Foley, Samoa Joe, RVD, Matt Hardy, Eddie Guerrero, Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett even the Ultimate Warrior were far more congenial (I met them at UK super shows and comic cons, wasn't marking out, circa 2004-06). My opinion on him not entirely doing it for me as a wrestler or not being a Punk guy was long before this meeting. Its interesting how many people I've met who share the same sentiments including son indy promoters in the UK during the same time period. On the flip side met a few who said he can be very personable too. However, he's still a big star and so over. Kudos to him.
20 years later and Corny sings his praises every chance he gets.
LIKE MUSSSSSSOOLIIIINIIIIII!
With emphasis on singing😂
I'm in the W W EEeeeeee Oooooha because Tony Khan just fired me. 😭
*WITH EXTRA CHEEEEESE!*
A Cheeseburger with EXTRA CHEESSSSE
CULT OF MEAT WITH EXTRA CHEEEESEEEW

Punk overrated
He was always so smart
Rather fair response. Seems like Punk agreed with Corny but wanted to keep his opportunity
By this time punk was done working in IWA Mid south
Context: Danny Davis said that no one who works for Ian Rotten will work for OVW because of what Rotten did to pro wrestling in the state
Someone should send this to jim cornette he'll definitely talk about it on his podcast.
Jim Cornette has likely seen or heard of this interview, and the honest take Punk has here is likely why Cornette likes him so much.
How grown adults speak not some so called EVPs that couldn’t manage a Target feeding the dirt sheets drama
@@nickhughes8179it’s funny because cornette never liked punk until he started watching him in AEW

If you read between the lines, CM Punk states without doubt "I AM A JIM CORNETTE GUY" 100%
Someone needs to send this to Cornette lmao, although he probably already heard this 20 years ago
Most likely he didn't, he doesn't remember if he ever met Punk, which is a statement made by Corny himself on one of his modern podcasts
That's why he loves him so much
He didn’t attack Jim Cornette at all
It doesn't say he did...
He wasn't backstage in an AEW show to put him in a chole hold 😂
That's because he worked with children
I’d love to see Jim and TGBL see this clip and hear what Jim’s thoughts about what Punk said.
Always had a feeling that Punk had some respect for Jim.
Everyone of us members from the Cult of Cornette wants to see (or hear on the podcast) that special interaction between Jim and Punk.
Damn look at young Punk, I wonder how Jim would react if he saw this, also wonder what Punk thinks of Corney now
I would guess they are pretty tight. Cm Punks trainer Ace Steel constantly praises cornette and punk and Steele also hired Jim cornettes attorney
@@realblakewilliamson Not to mention Cornette was Punk's biggest advocate when the Elite was trying to get him fired
He used some of Cornys bits from the show on Aew promo: “You can bring Solo, Comoratto, Agogo…”

Wow CM Punk looks so 2001-4
true. The ''independant'' hoodie and beanie, the beard, very early 2000's style
I know he [Corny] doesn’t wanna do it, but it would be great to see heel CM Punk with Jim Cornette as his manager.
It's like GCW today. Full of garbage matches and mudshow clowns, but occasionally having actual talent put on decent wrestling matches.
Punk is so young there, I’m surprised Feinstein didn’t try to pick him up
LOL !
I know jim cornette didnt watch wwe in 2012 and 2013 i wish he did so he could of saw all those great promos punk did
BEST IN THE WORLD!!!
25 year old CM Punk.

Send this to Jim Cornette
Like Mussoliniiii
does punk skate? whats with the indy clothes
And Cornette agrees with Punk
I've stopped listening to Cornette for about a week and I find myself being less hostile and talking to my parents more
You like him or not he is a draw for the tv
