Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,102 --> 00:00:03,936
CM Punk, one of sports
entertainment's
2
00:00:03,937 --> 00:00:06,305
biggest lightning rods.
3
00:00:06,306 --> 00:00:07,072
I'm not here to make friends.
4
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:08,374
I'm here to make money.
5
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:10,409
Make the pledge to stand on my
side.
6
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:14,646
One nation under Punk.
7
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:16,782
The Brash, unapologetic and
unpredictable
8
00:00:16,783 --> 00:00:18,917
voice of the voiceless.
9
00:00:18,918 --> 00:00:19,985
BITW.
10
00:00:19,986 --> 00:00:23,389
Best in the World.
11
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:26,825
Today, we celebrate the very
best from the best in the world.
12
00:00:26,826 --> 00:00:28,460
What's my name?
13
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:35,368
It's WWE's Greatest Moments
that comes to you right now.
14
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:39,705
Acknowledge me.
15
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:40,939
Oh God.
16
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:42,708
Stone Cold with a beer bath.
17
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:45,577
This is surreal.
18
00:00:45,578 --> 00:00:46,745
Look at this.
19
00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:47,846
He slammed him.
20
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:57,289
Welcome everyone to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
21
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:58,524
I'm Michael Cole.
22
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:01,360
And on this edition, we showcase
the defining moments of the
23
00:01:01,361 --> 00:01:05,330
career of professional
wrestling's rebel with a cause,
24
00:01:05,331 --> 00:01:07,100
CM Punk.
25
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:11,737
Since his WWE debut in 2006,
Chicago's favorite son has
26
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:14,606
proven time and again that he
will do whatever it takes
27
00:01:14,607 --> 00:01:17,776
to prove that he truly is, as he
self proclaims
28
00:01:17,777 --> 00:01:19,779
the best in the world.
29
00:01:20,413 --> 00:01:22,781
Never has that been more tested
than his recent embattled
30
00:01:22,782 --> 00:01:26,752
rivalry with the Scottish
warrior, Drew McIntyre.
31
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:29,655
Punk suffered a torn right
tricep.
32
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:32,224
I prayed for this and it
happened.
33
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:35,361
I did not come here to make a
mortal enemy,
34
00:01:35,362 --> 00:01:38,731
but that's exactly
what I have done.
35
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:42,568
Our first moment brings us to
the PLE aptly named, Bad Blood,
36
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:46,038
where these two would wage war
inside the demonic structure
37
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:49,342
known as Hell in the Cell.
38
00:01:52,846 --> 00:01:55,814
When I was growing up,
that was the match that
39
00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:58,050
two people truly hate each other
and get into that cell.
40
00:01:58,051 --> 00:02:01,020
Let out everything and legally
beat him up.
41
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:06,392
This will not be a five-star
wrestling classic.
42
00:02:06,393 --> 00:02:10,463
It is going to be mutually
assured destruction.
43
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:14,333
It wasn't about winning or
losing, it was about showing the
44
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:16,268
other person that, "Hey, I'm
better than you."
45
00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:17,970
And I think that reminded a lot
of people
46
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:19,772
of what wrestling can really be.
47
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:20,940
It can be brutal.
48
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:24,778
And a toolbox to the face of
McIntyre.
49
00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:29,615
Oh my God.
50
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:32,985
Drew McIntyre landed very
nasty on the steel steps, and
51
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:34,820
it looked like he
broke his back.
52
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:36,822
And it all comes down to that
moment.
53
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:39,024
Punk's got a chain.
54
00:02:39,025 --> 00:02:42,261
Go to Sleep to the chain.
55
00:02:42,262 --> 00:02:43,228
Tonight-
56
00:02:44,631 --> 00:02:46,031
in the devil's playground,
there's only room
57
00:02:46,032 --> 00:02:50,303
for one bully, CM Punk.
58
00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:54,173
They say, you never forget
your first.
59
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:56,442
And we certainly haven't
forgotten the time that CM Punk
60
00:02:56,443 --> 00:02:59,778
burst onto the scene in the ECW
Revival.
61
00:02:59,779 --> 00:03:03,248
Our next moment goes all the
way back to 2007.
62
00:03:03,249 --> 00:03:06,618
CM Punk went up against ECW
Champion, John Morrison,
63
00:03:06,619 --> 00:03:09,422
and attempted to capture
his first world title.
64
00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:15,260
A very focused,
a very driven athlete,
65
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:18,297
is the challenger,
CM Punk.
66
00:03:18,298 --> 00:03:20,399
John Morrison and the ECW
title, to this day,
67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,401
I think is one of my
best matches ever.
68
00:03:22,402 --> 00:03:25,972
For whatever reason, me and him
just clicked that night.
69
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:28,207
It was one of those things where
we just went out there.
70
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:31,510
And during the match, I was
feeling it like,
71
00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:33,812
"We got something here."
72
00:03:33,813 --> 00:03:35,481
Can he do it, Joey?
73
00:03:35,482 --> 00:03:36,448
Bang.
74
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:37,182
Bang.
75
00:03:37,183 --> 00:03:38,718
GTS.
76
00:03:40,453 --> 00:03:42,022
Oh, he did it.
77
00:03:43,256 --> 00:03:44,857
He wanted to be the top guy,
78
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:46,426
and the top company
in the world.
79
00:03:47,527 --> 00:03:50,295
He wasn't gonna stop, no matter
how many people told him he
80
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:51,730
didn't have the look, he didn't
have the size,
81
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:54,133
he couldn't do this,
couldn't do that.
82
00:03:54,134 --> 00:03:56,101
Somebody like CM Punk, as
champion, it really kind
83
00:03:56,102 --> 00:04:00,507
of gives you that-that
infectious motivation.
84
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:05,211
You're witnessing brand new
star.
85
00:04:08,281 --> 00:04:11,450
In 2013, CM Punk was looking
to conquer The Undertaker's
86
00:04:11,451 --> 00:04:14,620
unprecedented WrestleMania,
undefeated streak.
87
00:04:14,621 --> 00:04:18,158
20 men had tried, 20 men had
failed.
88
00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:22,294
CM Punk needed to go to depth he
had never been before.
89
00:04:22,295 --> 00:04:24,263
And after the passing of Paul
Bearer,
90
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:26,298
The Undertaker's
longtime manager.
91
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:27,733
Oh yeah.
92
00:04:27,734 --> 00:04:29,501
CM Punk knew what he had to do
93
00:04:29,502 --> 00:04:31,904
to rattle the
unshakable Dead man.
94
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:35,340
This means everything to The
Undertaker,
95
00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:37,711
and it doesn't mean
a thing to me.
96
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:40,612
CM Punk and his manager,
Paul Heyman, spent weeks
97
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:43,882
taunting The Undertaker, with
the urn that supposedly
98
00:04:43,883 --> 00:04:45,851
held Bearer's ashes.
99
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:48,654
Oh yes.
100
00:04:48,655 --> 00:04:51,223
Things came to a dramatic head
just one week before
101
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:54,060
the show of shows.
102
00:04:56,896 --> 00:05:03,135
CM Punk, the disrespect that
you've shown Paul Bearer,
103
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:06,172
will cause you to pay
the ultimate price.
104
00:05:10,844 --> 00:05:13,345
When you're a villain, you
gotta embrace being a villain.
105
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:15,214
You gotta be able to go all the
way.
106
00:05:15,215 --> 00:05:17,149
What is this?
107
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,218
I didn't necessarily want to
get cheered.
108
00:05:19,219 --> 00:05:22,354
I wanted to be a bad guy.
109
00:05:22,355 --> 00:05:23,822
Oh, yeah.
110
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:24,923
Is it Paul Heyman?
111
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:28,894
Initially, I felt like it was
too disrespectful,
112
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:31,965
but then I was like,
Paul would love this.
113
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:37,637
He would love that his character
is still relevant at this point.
114
00:05:38,938 --> 00:05:39,805
Oh, look out.
115
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:40,939
That-that's Punk.
116
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:44,376
He was disguised as a druid
ambushing Undertaker.
117
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:49,214
This guy is the legend that I
get to wrestle.
118
00:05:49,215 --> 00:05:51,150
There's no half measures.
119
00:05:51,151 --> 00:05:52,017
Look out.
120
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:53,185
Oh my God.
121
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,453
Do you wanna dance with the
devil?
122
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:56,255
I did this to you.
123
00:05:56,256 --> 00:05:57,857
I did this to you.
124
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:02,161
Well, how do I gain an edge?
125
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:08,768
I'm gonna dump ashes out of the
urn onto The Undertaker.
126
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:11,705
This guy is sick.
127
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:16,375
It gave me an extra bite to
really just go over,
128
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,977
over the line, and go overboard.
129
00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:20,413
This is disrespectful.
130
00:06:22,849 --> 00:06:25,718
One of the most intriguing
wild cards in WWE,
131
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:29,088
is the coveted Money in the Bank
briefcase.
132
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:31,957
It grants its holder the ability
to cash in, and make a
133
00:06:31,958 --> 00:06:36,496
sanctioned world championship
match any place, any time.
134
00:06:37,097 --> 00:06:39,498
But there's only one way to gain
possession of that valuable
135
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:41,533
briefcase, and that's to climb
the ladder,
136
00:06:41,534 --> 00:06:43,536
and retrieve it high
above the ring.
137
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:47,773
WrestleMania 24, CM Punk would
get his opportunity to compete
138
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:51,210
against six other superstars for
the chance to be known
139
00:06:51,211 --> 00:06:53,480
as Mr. Money in the Bank.
140
00:06:56,516 --> 00:07:02,554
This next bout is the Money
in the Bank ladder match.
141
00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:06,392
I always had a chip on my
shoulder because I felt early
142
00:07:06,393 --> 00:07:09,528
in my career I was maybe
told that I didn't belong.
143
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:11,931
I was maybe told that I wasn't
gonna make it.
144
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:14,200
And I have to prove why I
belong.
145
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:16,935
Oh.
146
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,170
Oh my God.
147
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:19,205
Good Lord.
148
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:22,041
You have to capture the
imagination
149
00:07:22,042 --> 00:07:23,642
of the audience consistently.
150
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:26,178
And that's why I say, one of the
overall, just greatest ladder
151
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:28,781
matches of all time would be
that of Money in the Bank
152
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:30,383
at WrestleMania 24.
153
00:07:31,818 --> 00:07:35,521
GTS go to sleep, gold
standard.
154
00:07:35,522 --> 00:07:37,956
Codebreaker with the help of a
ladder.
155
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:40,493
And I think that's eliminated
Punk.
156
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:42,528
Jericho in a position to win it.
157
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:44,229
But Punk says no.
158
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:45,297
Oh no.
159
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:48,100
Oh, Jericho hung up from
the-the tree of woe.
160
00:07:48,101 --> 00:07:49,435
And there goes Punk.
161
00:07:49,436 --> 00:07:51,003
Everything seemed bigger that
day.
162
00:07:51,004 --> 00:07:52,304
I just knew I had a lot to
prove.
163
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:56,008
And I had a lot of eyes looking
at me to produce.
164
00:07:56,009 --> 00:07:56,809
Can punk win it?
165
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:57,609
He did it.
166
00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,379
CM Punk has done it.
167
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:02,047
It was not the poster
the WWE guy.
168
00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:05,617
In order for him to achieve
that, that almost started the
169
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:07,253
new generation for the entire
company.
170
00:08:08,555 --> 00:08:11,590
Seven men putting it all on
the line,
171
00:08:11,591 --> 00:08:14,561
but this night it's all
about CM Punk.
172
00:08:18,131 --> 00:08:20,366
With the Money in the Bank
contract fully in his grasp,
173
00:08:20,367 --> 00:08:22,701
CM Punk awaited the right
moment to cash it in.
174
00:08:22,702 --> 00:08:27,272
And that opportunity would come
in June, 2008, when an enraged
175
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:29,575
Batista took some frustrations
out
176
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:32,244
on the World Heavyweight
Champion, Edge,
177
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:34,414
leaving him ripe
for the picking.
178
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:41,286
A raging Batista.
179
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:45,891
Wait a minute.
180
00:08:45,892 --> 00:08:47,693
CM Punk is doing it.
181
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:50,129
Here was a good guy.
182
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:52,232
Cashing in on a bad guy that
everybody hated.
183
00:08:52,632 --> 00:08:53,565
A savage.
184
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:55,768
That's what savages do, they
cash in.
185
00:08:55,769 --> 00:08:58,137
He's cashing in Money in the
Bank.
186
00:08:58,138 --> 00:09:00,606
Edge.
187
00:09:00,607 --> 00:09:02,207
The GTS.
188
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:03,842
The Go to Sleep.
189
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:05,077
The cover.
190
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:06,679
Punk has done it.
191
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:08,414
Punk is the champion.
192
00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:09,982
Punk is the champion.
193
00:09:09,983 --> 00:09:13,485
Now, he is a bonafide WWE
superstar.
194
00:09:13,486 --> 00:09:17,489
He now has the ammo to go out
there and wrestle with anybody,
195
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:18,857
and it's legitimate.
196
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:20,693
CM Punk has done it.
197
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:25,732
Mr. Money in the Bank has become
Mr. World Champion.
198
00:09:26,332 --> 00:09:27,533
I was over the moon with the
whole thing.
199
00:09:27,534 --> 00:09:28,901
I was like, "This
is it.
200
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,036
Balling my fist and swing at the
world, and here we go,
201
00:09:31,037 --> 00:09:32,604
CM Punk's on top.
202
00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:34,140
I'm going to show people what I
can do."
203
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,444
As we'll see a bit later on
in the program, CM Punk returned
204
00:09:38,445 --> 00:09:42,715
to WWE in 2023 after a 10-year
absence.
205
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:46,719
CM Punk is home.
206
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,254
One superstar in particular
didn't accept him with open
207
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:52,191
arms, Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
208
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:55,594
When you abandoned this place,
I put it on my back, I
209
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:57,731
made it stronger than
it's ever been.
210
00:09:58,765 --> 00:10:02,267
I left because I had to,
and I came back because
211
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:05,004
they chanted my name.
212
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:08,173
A decade of pent-up anger
would lead these two rivals into
213
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:12,011
the main event of the historic
Raw premiere on Netflix.
214
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:19,818
He left the WWE
for his own reasons.
215
00:10:19,819 --> 00:10:22,154
To be someone
that had stayed
216
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:24,723
and been a part of the
company, felt very personal.
217
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:28,961
This rivalry between CM Punk
and Seth "Freakin" Rollins that
218
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:31,764
is over 10 years in the making.
219
00:10:31,765 --> 00:10:34,801
How could that not be the main
event?
220
00:10:35,602 --> 00:10:37,403
On his shoulders looking for
the Go to Sleep.
221
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:40,040
He connects with Punk's
finishing move.
222
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,842
With all the trash that's been
talked between Seth Rollins and
223
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:48,614
CM Punk, to see Seth Rollins
throw Punk up for a GTS
224
00:10:48,615 --> 00:10:51,384
was just incredibly gratifying.
225
00:10:51,851 --> 00:10:54,286
Rollins with another GTS.
226
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:55,721
Boom.
227
00:10:55,722 --> 00:10:57,756
Of course, that doesn't last
long.
228
00:10:57,757 --> 00:10:58,957
Oh, Stomp.
229
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:00,960
Now, using Rollins finisher
move.
230
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:05,297
I really felt that whoever won
that main event,
231
00:11:05,298 --> 00:11:10,202
was basically going to be the
face of Raw on Netflix.
232
00:11:10,203 --> 00:11:11,070
Punk.
233
00:11:11,071 --> 00:11:12,404
GTS.
234
00:11:12,405 --> 00:11:14,206
Into the cover.
235
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:15,407
CM Punk wins.
236
00:11:17,243 --> 00:11:19,845
I was extremely happy with
how that turned out.
237
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:22,514
That was special TV there.
238
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:23,682
BITW.
239
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:26,553
Best in the world.
240
00:11:30,123 --> 00:11:34,193
In 2013, CM Punk was reveling
in his incredible 400-plus days
241
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:38,030
as WWE champion, proving night
after night that he was the best
242
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:41,200
in the world, not only in the
ring, but on the mic.
243
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:47,106
I am the WWE Champion and I
will cement my legacy with the
244
00:11:47,107 --> 00:11:50,008
focus and the spotlight on me.
245
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:53,078
His true test would come with
the most electrifying man in
246
00:11:53,079 --> 00:11:55,748
Sports Entertainment returned.
247
00:11:55,749 --> 00:11:58,951
CM Punk, with his opportunity to
test his verbal skills and
248
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:04,858
finally get his chance to go one
one-on-one with "The Great One".
249
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,296
The Brahma
Bull is back.
250
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:14,566
What made me Rock
interesting was
251
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,468
young kid on a world stage
252
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:18,437
in front of The Rock, maybe not
proven.
253
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:20,639
If people tuned in they were
like, "Who's this guy?"
254
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,776
I always want to get to that
next level.
255
00:12:23,777 --> 00:12:30,349
You know, The Rock knows, they
know, in 20 days, time is up.
256
00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:31,750
I want to step up to that
plate.
257
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,486
I want to see those
99-mile-an-hour pitches that
258
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:35,754
The Rock is going to be throwing
259
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:37,456
because I can hit it
out of the park.
260
00:12:37,457 --> 00:12:39,992
Whenever you decide to grace
us with your presence, I'm going
261
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:42,928
to kick your ass because I'm the
best in the world.
262
00:12:44,197 --> 00:12:45,431
Is there a doctor in the
house because a man who claims
263
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:47,700
that he's straight edge, he's
running around here looking
264
00:12:47,701 --> 00:12:50,202
exactly like Popeye on crack.
265
00:12:51,471 --> 00:12:54,306
You can sing songs and you
can rhyme and you can do your
266
00:12:54,307 --> 00:12:56,842
tired lame ass schtick.
267
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:59,678
I just want you to know that
come Royal Rumble,
268
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,047
you can't leave a mark on
the champ's face.
269
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:05,918
Your arms are just too short to
box with God.
270
00:13:07,921 --> 00:13:11,090
Not a lot of people from our
generation get a chance to go
271
00:13:11,091 --> 00:13:13,559
one on one with The Rock.
272
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:14,827
That validated his status as
273
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:19,865
being in the upper
echelon all time.
274
00:13:19,866 --> 00:13:22,201
The best in the world is a
self-imposed moniker
275
00:13:22,202 --> 00:13:23,736
that is hard to argue with.
276
00:13:23,737 --> 00:13:26,572
If there was a superstar that
could truly test CM Punk's
277
00:13:26,573 --> 00:13:30,810
boastful claim, it would be the
GOAT, John Cena.
278
00:13:31,444 --> 00:13:34,513
Controversy would surround their
WWE Championship match
279
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:36,315
at Money in the Bank 2011.
280
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:39,518
July 17th is the day my
contract with World Wrestling
281
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,521
Entertainment comes to an end.
282
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:45,324
Trust me when I tell you, I am
leaving with
283
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:48,827
the WWE Championship.
284
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:50,763
CM Punk's contract expiring
that night.
285
00:13:50,764 --> 00:13:54,567
What would the future hold for
the richest prize in the game?
286
00:13:57,203 --> 00:14:02,809
It is a night where the entire
landscape of WWE can be changed.
287
00:14:03,443 --> 00:14:05,244
There probably
wasn't any more
288
00:14:05,245 --> 00:14:06,645
high stakes of
a wrestling match
289
00:14:06,646 --> 00:14:12,284
you can have than CM Punk
working without a contract.
290
00:14:12,285 --> 00:14:14,320
Also, the Number 1 contender.
291
00:14:14,321 --> 00:14:17,691
Also, wrestling in his hometown
of Chicago.
292
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:20,125
I think that was definitely
the most high pressure situation
293
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:24,196
I've ever been in, in my life,
not just my career, you know.
294
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:28,067
Everything I've ever done, it
led me up to that point.
295
00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:32,037
At midnight tonight, CM Punk
is leaving this company,
296
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:36,008
and he may be doing it
with the WWE title.
297
00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:37,077
I was really leaving.
298
00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:39,646
This is as real as it gets.
299
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,082
You have these certain moments
when you're in that ring,
300
00:14:43,083 --> 00:14:45,919
you can step outside
and enjoy it as a fan.
301
00:14:46,453 --> 00:14:50,055
There were moments in that match
that I could just be like,
302
00:14:50,056 --> 00:14:52,291
"Man, they're going to be
talking about this one
303
00:14:52,292 --> 00:14:53,994
for a long time to come."
304
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:55,994
He and John Cena went out
there.
305
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:58,364
Man, they tore the house down.
306
00:14:58,365 --> 00:14:59,733
Attitude Adjustment.
307
00:15:00,934 --> 00:15:01,600
Oh.
308
00:15:01,601 --> 00:15:02,601
What?
309
00:15:02,602 --> 00:15:04,237
Wow.
310
00:15:04,604 --> 00:15:05,971
It's CM Punk.
311
00:15:05,972 --> 00:15:09,475
GTS connecting.
312
00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:11,643
Oh my God.
313
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:15,414
Oh.
314
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:16,915
"Hey, my contract is up, but I'm
champion."
315
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,517
That's crazy.
316
00:15:18,518 --> 00:15:20,319
CM Punk is going to leave
Chicago
317
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,022
with the WWE Championship.
318
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:25,991
I think he just kissed the WWE
goodbye.
319
00:15:25,992 --> 00:15:30,963
Punk wins the WWE title and
then hops over the guardrail
320
00:15:30,964 --> 00:15:32,799
and takes off in the crowd.
321
00:15:33,466 --> 00:15:35,568
It's just one of the most
incredible scenes.
322
00:15:36,136 --> 00:15:38,238
I jumped right in the car and
I drove home.
323
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:41,607
CM Punk shockingly walked out
of Chicago
324
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:44,676
that night as WWE Champion.
325
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:47,179
While he ultimately remained in
the company, it was actually a
326
00:15:47,180 --> 00:15:49,648
few weeks earlier where he
vented some frustrations
327
00:15:49,649 --> 00:15:52,285
to the WWE Universe.
328
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:55,554
In one of the most memorable
segments in WWE history,
329
00:15:55,555 --> 00:16:00,360
he let them know in a candidly
explosive moment,
330
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,263
simply known as the Pipe Bomb.
331
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:10,269
I have a lot of things I
want to get off my chest.
332
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:12,438
They called CM Punk's
promo the Pipe Bomb
333
00:16:12,439 --> 00:16:17,009
because instead of doing a
traditional wrestling promo,
334
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:19,044
CM Punk starts saying all
335
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:23,515
this stuff that you don't say on
television.
336
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:25,751
Oops, I'm breaking the fourth
wall.
337
00:16:25,752 --> 00:16:28,354
It's the only time in my adult
life that anybody has called me
338
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:33,559
on the phone and been like,
"Hey, I just was watching Raw.
339
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,562
You should look at this."
340
00:16:36,196 --> 00:16:40,867
I am the best wrestler in the
world.
341
00:16:41,568 --> 00:16:46,238
That promo is an entire WWE
career of frustration
342
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:47,639
being just let out.
343
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,842
I've been the best ever since
day one,
344
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:52,144
when I walked into this company.
345
00:16:52,145 --> 00:16:56,382
I've been vilified and hated
since that day because Paul
346
00:16:56,383 --> 00:17:01,587
Heyman saw something in me that
nobody else wanted to admit.
347
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:03,756
That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman
guy.
348
00:17:03,757 --> 00:17:05,391
It blurred the lines of
reality.
349
00:17:05,392 --> 00:17:08,761
For almost six years, I have
proved to everybody in the world
350
00:17:08,762 --> 00:17:11,864
that I am the best on this
microphone,
351
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:14,267
in that ring, even
in commentary.
352
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,068
Nobody can touch me.
353
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:19,839
He doesn't really care about
what he says.
354
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:23,876
The short term blowback will be
worth
355
00:17:23,877 --> 00:17:26,311
the long-term goal that he has.
356
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:29,314
I'm not on your lovely little
collector cups, I'm not on the
357
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:34,019
cover of the program, I'm barely
promoted, I don't get to be in
358
00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:38,290
movies, I'm certainly not on any
crappy show on the USA Network.
359
00:17:38,291 --> 00:17:39,358
We used to talk about how it
was one
360
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,626
of the greatest
promos of all time.
361
00:17:40,627 --> 00:17:42,561
Let me tell you a personal
story.
362
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:43,529
All right?
363
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:46,598
Do we do this whole bully camp?
364
00:17:48,702 --> 00:17:49,868
He felt he had some more to
say.
365
00:17:49,869 --> 00:17:51,003
They cut his mic off.
366
00:17:51,004 --> 00:17:52,004
Right?
367
00:17:52,005 --> 00:17:53,872
You want to extinguish this
voice?
368
00:17:53,873 --> 00:17:55,641
I'm the best thing you got.
369
00:17:55,642 --> 00:17:57,910
I think everybody who's ever
worked here on any level
370
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,245
has felt the frustration.
371
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:04,249
You know, it was almost a start
of a revolution.
372
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,653
I'm the best in the world.
373
00:18:09,222 --> 00:18:13,525
So we're now down to the end,
number one on the countdown.
374
00:18:13,526 --> 00:18:17,196
As CM Punk continued climbing
up the ranks of WWE greats,
375
00:18:17,197 --> 00:18:20,099
the grind would eventually
catch up with him, and he
376
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,333
would walk away from the
professional wrestling
377
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:23,335
industry in 2014.
378
00:18:23,336 --> 00:18:24,803
But the fans never forgot.
379
00:18:24,804 --> 00:18:26,338
For nearly 10 years,
380
00:18:26,339 --> 00:18:31,744
the WWE Universe continued
to chant "CM Punk."
381
00:18:35,782 --> 00:18:38,317
And as the men's War Games
match came to an end at Survivor
382
00:18:38,318 --> 00:18:43,188
Series 2023, CM Punk would give
the WWE Universe the moment
383
00:18:43,189 --> 00:18:45,592
they've waited a decade for.
384
00:18:52,866 --> 00:18:56,135
Cody Rhodes, leading
his team to victory
385
00:18:56,136 --> 00:18:57,637
at War Games.
386
00:18:58,271 --> 00:19:01,373
The crowd's happy, and the
zoom-out goes out on the War
387
00:19:01,374 --> 00:19:03,876
Games, and you're like, "Okay,
this is it."
388
00:19:03,877 --> 00:19:09,516
Even the credits start rolling,
and like, time freezes.
389
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:20,993
I don't really have the words
to explain, like,
390
00:19:20,994 --> 00:19:23,395
how that moment makes me feel.
391
00:19:23,396 --> 00:19:25,597
And there's a big part of me
that's still there.
392
00:19:29,869 --> 00:19:32,237
No one knew that Punk was
coming back, and I speak on that
393
00:19:32,238 --> 00:19:33,806
from a backstage perspective.
394
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:37,209
Oh my God.
395
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:38,510
Holy [bleep].
396
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:40,012
Oh my God.
397
00:19:42,982 --> 00:19:46,819
Everybody watching jumped out
of their seats.
398
00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:50,155
It felt so unbelievable.
399
00:19:50,156 --> 00:19:52,892
It was like, "Is Punk crashing
the show?"
400
00:19:58,231 --> 00:20:00,566
I've had a couple of big
moments where I think in my
401
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:04,403
head, "It's not going to get any
bigger than this,"
402
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:07,439
and much to my shock and
amazement,
403
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,442
it keeps getting
bigger.
404
00:20:10,076 --> 00:20:11,878
I have the fans to thank for
that.
405
00:20:15,115 --> 00:20:19,151
CM Punk made some pretty big
waves, cementing the unbreakable
406
00:20:19,152 --> 00:20:23,188
special bond only he shares with
the audience.
407
00:20:23,189 --> 00:20:26,725
That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
408
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:29,429
We hope you enjoyed this look
back at the very best of the
409
00:20:29,529 --> 00:20:31,997
best in the world, CM Punk.
