What did you think of him back in 2011?

>>18126584 (OP)
I bought it hook line and sinker.
I've never felt a bigger fool than today.

>>18126674
Same but I was pretty much done with him after a few months in aew doing Happy to be here promos every week

>>18126584 (OP)
I loved punk back in the day and was a big smark, nowadays I cant stand the guy or any smark bullshit

>>18126584 (OP)
Wasn't watching anymore. Friends told me about him, though. They said he was in ROH and the best. I took a look at a promo and didn't really care.

>>18126584 (OP)
I liked him. He lost me with the subsequent heel reign of terror.

>>18126584 (OP)
There was no bigger CM Punk fan on Earth than me in 2011/12/13
Not so much anymore.....................

Favorite guy by far. The smark darling that broke through. I don't really hate him now but he's not one of my favorites.

>>18126685
This. Even after turning himself into a laughing stock outside of wrestling, I was still willing to get back into his wrestling career but the aew run just fucking killed me. He had every opportunity to come in and inject some heel kino into that place and make it a viable company but instead he showed up in feminist tshirts and cut happy to be here promos.

>>18126584 (OP)
Thankfully i checked out of wrestling right before he came to WWE
outside of hearing about him i didn't see any of his first WWE run
but after seeing him in UFC and his return
I dont get what anyone ever saw in him
he's mid card at best and even that's being extremely generous
I cant take him seriously after seeing him fight in the UFC
He didn't just get beaten he got fuckin humiliated... badly

>>18126584 (OP)
He was my favourite wrestler by far. I remember always picking him in the games

I was not watching wrestling at all after 2008 until 2019 though my younger brothers did

>>18126584 (OP)
he was unironically my hero lol but I was a retarded kid so idk.
on the flip side, I feel like everyone hits that age where they fall out of wrestling for a few years and mine happened to be during his 400+ day reign.

>>18126584 (OP)
i started watching a few months after he left so i didnt know him. but then i watched some of his 2011 run on the network and he seemed cool... until he came back

>>18127169
I quit watching in 2001 or 2000 I reckon. I don't know who punk is, they toured Australia and I went who the fucks that cunt headlining ...no idea, I didn't go anyway.
Watched him in UFC meant to be a superstar. What I saw should have had UFC and Dana white stripped of their licensing to put fights on. Dana fired the guy tickling him, but that guy even said what was he meant to do? Give the cunt lifelong brain damage?

>>18126584 (OP)
Fond memories. Back in 2011 I was 17. He unironically helped me come out of my shell a bit because I used to be very soft spoken and reserved. So thats probably why his pipebomb resonated with me. My friends would talk about lebron or tom brady or whoever. And I would say my guy is cm punk and they’d say “who?” Lmao fun times. Punk and Kid Cudi were my role models when i was a teenager so thats probably why probably tells you what kind of kid i was kek

>>18126584 (OP)
always thought he was a fucking loser from day one. then and now.

>>18127227
Sorry you turned into a fag like your role models. Should have been a hulkamaniac brother

>>18127227
you joking right?

>>18127248
>>18127255
I turned out alright. Nothing like either of them because I grew into my own person. But yeah I thought those two were the coolest guys ever.

>>18127239
>always thought he was a fucking loser
go back to r/dit

>>18127219
His fight against Mike Jackson was his ultimate humiliation ritual
I've been watching UFC since the 90s and I've never seen anyone get just fucked with for 3 rounds like Mike Jackson did to Punk
I always do a party with like 8-12 other people at a friends house and most people had no clue who the hell Punk even was but were straight laughing their ass off during that fight
It was like watching a grown man doing MMA with a 5 year old

>>18127282
Kenny vs riho the UFC version haha, when riho was 6 years old

>>18126584 (OP)
Got me back into wrestling after tapping out in early 2010. Then the circus with Nash/HHH/Punk took me back out until 2012.

>>18127227
Is he still your hero faggot?

>>18127227
>>18127255
>>18127384
I just googled kid Cudi he's some black. Great hero. If you wanna grow up to loot footlockers and abandon children
Almost as bad as Philip

>>18127384
No im 32 I dont have heroes anymore lmao
>>18127424
Way to give up that you’re a zoomer. Cudi made sadboy rap. He wasn’t a gangster at all. And was clowned constantly for it.

>>18126584 (OP)
Always thought he was a fucking faggot. I hope he goes back to gayEW

LMAO this is definitely the guy posting about "daddy punk dick" and "PDS" >>18127227

anyone who can't see what a piece of shit he is and always has been is a retarded faggot
all of his fans deserve to die

>>18127543
>>18125371

I was a fan, not a massive fan or anything but he was easily their best talent on the roster. I still like him to this day even if I think he's a piece of shit insincere faggot IRL.

>>18127571
Extremely rare Big Guy L

total fucking scumbag narcissist
never liked him. never thought he was talented.

only faggot redditor smarks liked him to begin with. the entire "summer of punk" was embarrassing smark bait shit (like the phil brooks paul levesque promo) on par with the awful voodoo kin mafia and the matt hardy "amy dumas" worked shoots. I remember watching the paul levesque promo and actually cringing

>>18127543
The big guy defended phil
>>18127559
Nah i dont do that weird shit

>>18126994
i know we'll get cope replies saying he wasn't allowed or the EVPs wouldn't play ball but assuming he had free reign i don't get why he didn't make the show more compelling with a crazy angle

>>18126994
I remember seats saying it was a "slow burn heel turn" designed to make people hate him. Like with Cody. No it was just terrible booking and Punk is a faggot. He joined AEW and did nothing besides wrestle heatless matches on dynamite and cut lame ass happy to be here promos for a month. Pretty much like he is doing now in WWE

>>18127654
I meant aewtists not seats I am phone posting

He was my favorite wrestler and my hero.

>>18126584 (OP)
I was a fan
him having a Micro penis gave many of us Punk fans hope.

>>18126584 (OP)
I thought he came off as a geek after Christian said he was.

>>18126584 (OP)
Samething i think of him today. A shitter that brought ruin to Pro Wrestling. And Fuck Heyman for vouching for him

>>18126584 (OP)
I deeply regret suporting The Rock for ending his long title reign in 2013. Yes he got screwed in Phoenix but nobody gave a shit.

>>18127493
Cudi is arguably the reason rap is so gay rn. He started all that faggy soft emo shit

>>18126584 (OP)
Ive thought It would be cool if kane powerwalked to him and then alabama slammed his ass on the concrete and then got his pyro

I wasn't watching WWE in 2011, but even back then I somehow knew the name CM Punk. When I start watching in 2012 he was one of my boys but he fucking sucks now.

>>18127657
kys

>>18126584 (OP)
Boring and overrated midcarder at best.

>>18126584 (OP)
He was amazing and frankly when he was fired, it solidified him as a legend to me. AEW and his WWE return only shown me that he’s as much of a grifting insincere fuck as the business he’s worked for.

>>18126584 (OP)
I thought of him almost the same i do now, that he is not impressive at all and he is a bitch, except now i also know i could kick his ass in a shoot any time, and so could you.

>>18126584 (OP)
I was barely watching at the time, but I only ever liked his Straight Edge Society.

>>18131874
He was already a multi-millionare when he made the 'pipebomb' promo. The entire 'punk' thing was always a just a gimmick after he went to the WWE. People back then understood this. He plays a fictional character, I'm not sure why current day fans get worked into a shoot.

>>18132035
>He plays a fictional character, I'm not sure why current day fans get worked into a shoot.
Was him going to ufc and getting his ass beat and humiliated a work too?

2011 is such a grimola era of WWE literally no one was watching at the time.
