BEST IN THE WORLD | The CM Punk Story (Full Career Documentary)

BEST IN THE WORLD | The CM Punk Story (Full Career Documentary)
Ever since the in-ring retirement of Stone Cold Steve Austin in 2003, arguably no wrestler has ever come as close to capturing the zeitgeist and ushering in a new boom period in wrestling as CM Punk. Back in 2011 Punk was ready to explode, having just cut the promo of a lifetime. In fact, many lapsed fans who have since returned to wrestling credit this for being the event that got them watching again. Even current superstars like Adam Cole and Rhea Ripley have called him a major influence. So, what was so special about him? Well, Punk had a lofty goal. He wanted to change the culture of wrestling itself. So, did he manage to achieve this, or did it all end up being for nothing? Well, join us today as we answer this question by taking a deep dive into his entire career journey as well as the aftermath in; Best in the World: The CM Punk Story.

“I’ve been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company. And I’ve been vilified and hated since that day, because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar. And he split just like I’m splitting. But the biggest difference between me and Brock is I’m going to leave with the WWE Championship.”

" I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary brass rings that its finally dawned on me that they're just that. They're completely imaginary.

Drug free, straight edge lifestyle, after Punk's pipe bomb promo I fell in love with wrestling again. Punk was a wrestler for all seasons.

The greatest thing about cm punk is that as much as fans love him haters love him more... It's funny how it works... Most other haters would be like yeah i don't like him and whatever...
