CM Punk Discusses Royal Rumble, UFC on FOX 6

[@RyanMichaels26]

I love CM Punk and I love the fact that he is a straight edge!

[@xlolxism]

man, i gotta say, that Ariel truly is one of the best interviewers i've ever had a chance to watch. not only he's always professional, he asks some really interesting questions and that's a rarety.. and Punk's invariably such a laid back guy, very interesting to listen to as well. gosh, that was a fantastic interview!

[@OrangeEagleMonkey]

CM Punk always seems so untouchable with his agenda and opinions. While that is what I love about him it is also great to see him just be a guy and even gush a bit.

[@DavidHunterVisual]

"I think everyday above ground is a good day." - CM Punk

[@KILLAHOOK6]

cm punk is very cool and chill outside of the ring

[@JamesSaleMedia]

Best Ariel interview in a long time and it was with a pro wrestler. Damn.

[@adamskylark]

Love CM Punk, the guy talks sense about MMA. Seems like a great and genuine guy, Would love to see him in an MMA event of some sort, trains in Ju Jitsu, would like to see how good he may be

[@JamesSaleMedia]

Punk is well versed in multiple styles of MMA, as well as Muay Thi and Taekwondo. He's just as credible to talk UFC than most non-fighters Ariel interviews, including Mr Segal.

[@fatherjamalmoxeybahamas8593]

He is the best in the world

[@Lungsy1988]

Yup, and it's also hugely rumored to be a match at Wrestlemania. Although new info says Undertaker may not do WM this year :(. If he did, him and Cm Punk is a no brainer. They've at least discussed it behind the scenes at WWE.

[@RogueAndroid]

CM Punk has achieved what he set himself as a goal and still is going strong. He is indeed no joke, being a Gracie BJJ black belt. If you can, please watch the Best In The World documentary at least. It will put it all into the right perspective.

[@seemsblack3491]

Interviewer: "The guy on my right..." CM Punk: "Is still an asshole." LOL gotta love punk xD

[@teeemoy]

In this interview, CM Punk talks like wrestling is real.

[@ashisforreal]

"Every day above ground is a good day" LMAO CM punk

[@MrKingOthman]

People should respect C.M PUNK. He held the title longer then cena, undertaker, rock, stone cold and triple h. People need to respect that.

[@wintershadows]

YES! More CM Punk interviews! And pro wrestling in general. You're the best, Ariel!

[@RizzyWow]

CM Punk is one of those guys you can easily just hang out and chill with. Hope he keeps the title. I can't wait for rampages final fight.

[@julianwhitee]

CM punk is a very cool guy and an amazing wrestler !

[@djdannyd816]

CM Punk The Legend

[@GracieKiller]

I notice this too, but Punk only ever uses that conversation staller in interviews, never when cutting a promo in the ring. And there are a lot of components to talking besides just that. Overall, Punk is the best talker I have ever heard in pro wrestling. Austin, Piper, and Roberts are close (all of whom say "you know" in interviews as well), but Punk is the overall best.

[@RankedShooter]

I give Punk his credit, he made people see what it means to come from somewhere like IWA Mid-South and all over the indy circuits to the Big Game and succeed like he has. Though, I think he is totally changed from what made him true from the beginning but he is making the best of it. I liked indy Punk better but I can deal with his current WWE status.

[@DPITB]

Very rarely do wrestlers come up with there own original moves. It's a fact of wrestling - the moves don't actually matter - it's the way you use them to excite the crowd that does. A wrestler can have the most amazing move set ever, but have crap matches if he doesn't have good psychology. CM Punk is a wrestler known for being able to pull a good match out of anyone... sort of like Jericho. I suggest you watch more of his matches before you judge.

[@Immy_Islam786]

After the colt podcast you can tell here just by his domineer and how he's speaking, this is where his problems with WWE really started to take its toll on him.

[@hackingSORRY]

Actually What i meant to say about Bookers was that some prefer Heels over Faces for example Dusty Rhodes. I think he ran with the nwo running into the ring for about 30 weeks straight just to build so much heat that a face could win and it'd be amazing( Sting )

[@akmkpkh]

"Good luck on Sunday" "Luck's for losers"

[@darkashtar]

I just gotta say awesome throwback shirt all the way to pro wrestling on NES. Not only that, but the Amazon, which is also who I always chose, awesome.

[@emgamer2583]

IM A Huge Cm Punk Fan

[@caolan619]

Cm punk is a beast

[@Adyman182]

Not anymore. With Rock beating Punk I will watch WWE again after almost 2 years.

[@souljacker4570]

I don't care what people say cm punk is still the reigning defending WWE champion

[@Inediblehulk]

When a promoter publicly declares something will never happen, it's often because they're building "the match you thought you'd never see". Triumphant returns are money, especially with the right video packaging.

[@CarbonOwl993]

You wouldn't like the man in his 70's on news that said that said instead of being shot in the eye Punk loosing the wwe title at the rumble was the worst thing that happen to him all week.

[@alchimdemet]

20:07 Thanks Mr BITW

[@chriscage9313]

Hate his new "persona"'s ever since his jump from ECW to SmackDown! but love the superstar

[@DavidJKennedy]

Honestly could have watched another 2 hours added onto that interview. Easy to listen to. Great stuff from both,

[@angeldejesus2251]

cm punk is awesome

[@therealmohammad]

Chael said Wanderlei's wins in Japan are equivalent to Hulk Hogan beating the Iron Sheik

[@beaugolden2]

I love CM Punk's shirt. Nostalgia

[@chicanopoder2006]

I WANT THAT SHIRT!

[@lomirandachile]

Beat the streak Punk... beat the fucking streak

[@bleudragonscyon]

lol "luck is for losers" one of CM Punk's best quotes ever in my opinion :)

[@1zanar]

Cm Punk All Time The Best In The World

[@DeadpoolMMA]

its not a sport its entertainment its basically a tv show its no different than watching stuff on tv but its still fun to watch because it does take skill to learn the holds the moves to learn how to fall without injuring themselves people who say its a sport are stupid its not a sport its entertainment with a slight sporting element

[@mattxdillon]

Every finisher is already a move. Minus one or two. Very rarely anybody isn't taking a variation of something there already is.

[@KenMiguelCipriano]

I like how CM Punk slipped in "lucks for losers" at the end

[@Gooknukem]

I like these interviews with WWE superstars. Great way to mix things up,

[@boobelsisblue]

They are all jealous, leave the best in the world alone! he is the greatest of all time he's an Icon he's a legend!

[@naps__4107]

I can't wait! This match will define cm punk!!! There both amazing athletes but there can only be one in the world! This ppv will be awesome!!!

[@UFCBrockLesnar1]

Ariel is a huge Wrestling fan like most of us and it's his channel so that's why.

[@wallame3995]

I haven't watched wrestling in 6 years but I use to be obsessed with it and what people have to realize is that wrestling is entertainment. It's funny and it's physical. Just because there's a pre-determined outcome does not mean that it's, in every way, "fake". CM Punk (although I do not know much about him as a wrestler since I stopped watching it while he was just coming up in Vince McMahon's absurd take on ECW) is no joke. He does Jui-jitsu and grew up taking martial arts. He's the real deal

[@BladeDaRazor]

CM Punk is one of the smart MMA fans... I liked this interview.

[@JamesSaleMedia]

You're talking sense. I understand what you're saying and I'm a pro wrestling fan too. You can't talk about something scripted (wwe title) as seriously as you would about the ufc welterweight title, for instance. However, Punk still has to remain loyal to his business and promote it, despite the fact that its scripted and I respect Ariel for helping him do that.

[@hardcorgamer007]

agree 100%, a match for match comparison, MMA is tougher of course but there are huge PPV matches in wwe that are as or more punishing than MMA, like the mick foley matches

[@ajl694]

anybody know what shirt Cm Punk is wearing?

[@kingmyllz90]

Good interview

[@UFCBrockLesnar1]

He just got his yellow belt a couple months ago, he said it in the last interview he did with Ariel.

[@RankedShooter]

Nice point!

[@XplosionMMA]

Winner is pre-determined on the night. There defo is aspects of reality in Wrestling. If you are interested in it, KZbin it.

[@richardwagner4481]

That shirt he has is so sick.

[@EDXStudios]

your not alone my friend.

[@XBOX36035]

big fan of this guy CM Punk :)

[@hadielhadi]

Ariel Helwani likes pro wrestling more than MMA you can feel it

[@maredes]

Fuck these comments. Grow up it's 2013. MMA , WWE , Watch whatever you like. You don't have to choose one over the other. You're allowed to like both. A lot of people watch and enjoy both.

[@UnlockingYourEnergy]

CM Punk wants to talk about Nick Diaz : Ariel immediately changes the subject to Rory MacDonald. Perfect.

[@ahhhitsrob]

you can tell punk is a scholar of wwrd

[@C0ACHMAYNE]

Love these two.

[@thaiboypsp3000]

You still win and lose, you still go thru pain, and you still have to put on 30+ minutes of hardwork.

[@Inspirestreet]

J adore cm punk

[@Brooklyn_Bleek]

holy shit, I can't believe that there's people like you still around in 2013. I'd venture to say that everybody in the world knows that simple truth!

[@stllwtchngvds]

Man whats that video game on his shirt? We used to play that like over 20 years ago on Nintendo lol. That was the lick back in the day. Super Pro Wrestling or something like that...

[@johnathan43701]

his tattoos are about his friends family and stuff he loves

[@kv01010]

The winner is predetermined.. The skills are, in-ring work, moves being crisp and tight, making it look real without hurting the opponent, making the opponents moves look good, talking and selling your match, having charisma and the "IT" factor.. It's not as much about skill-set.. The competition is to have the best match of the night or best 'promo' of the night.. Yes, some are better than others.. They work together but, they get hurt and have a DEMANDING schedule. 300+ days a year on the road

[@VinceVlogz]

so glad im not deaf, these captions would throw me off.

[@Poonard]

Flyweights are fun to watch, they usually have really amazing speed, conditioning, and raw toughness. They always seem to go just a little harder than other weight classes.

[@leecm]

With that said, I actually just listened to some of his interview, and he does seem like an intelligent, well articulated guy. I've never seen him wrestle, btw.

[@Chiverton08]

In a single match, this isn't true. Its the work schedule that kills (literally sometimes) wrestlers and I completely agree that wrestlers deserve the respect. However don't be dismissive of the toll of MMA. Repeat head trauma also does massive damage to people and wrestlers nowadays (with no chair shots to the head) tend to avoid it. Both have terrible consequences. I'm thankful to all the guys who lay their bodies on the line.

[@raigami]

a grown man will not make such childish comment. a grown man already knows the E is entertainment while MMA is legitimate combat sport. if you hate pro wrestlin, dont watch action movies. they are the same thing. come back for a more mature comment when you turn 15, thank you.

[@edgarramos956]

why do you think everyone is saying chael sonnen is a clown because yes he's good wrestling but that's not what's getting him fights him acting goofy say stupid things causing controversy is with getting him fights honestly chael vshould be in WWE the way he carries himself in UFC at times

[@Swagmasterr3000]

That's what mick foley said

[@MMagentaHH]

? did y watch the whole thing? they both refer to cm punk's "character"

[@UFCBrockLesnar1]

Wrestling and MMA are very similar, I don't understand how people are just realizing this now. The only difference is what goes on in the Ring/Cage. Both are brutal sports and neither are easy or "Fake", I'm glad King Mo is doing Wrestling and realises just how hard it is on your body. Maybe the trolls will understand how brutal Wrestling is now that an MMA guy is trying it. Even though it's been happening for years now.

[@bourneadvo]

Whether you hate him or love him or don't care. It must be understood that most mma fighters like cm punk. Cm punk is trained by the Gracies'. Plus everything he does is done with passion. I watch wwe only for him. Remember you can say wwe is fake but what is real on tv anyways?

[@Dilemma009]

That's it, your done. Thats the a xillion time someone has said that.. I'm coming for ya

[@DanilloHSS]

THE BEST IN THE WOLRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@HLB285]

I suggest email him if you watch for looks.

[@1919dpg]

in 50 years MMA will be pro wrestling. history repeats itself.

[@scarletwomannedm]

Thank you! Now, if KZbin will just get rid of him.

[@Inediblehulk]

Nope. Looks like it's Cena vs Velasquez instead. Not really wishing for Lesnar in UFC, just think a return isn't that farfetched at all. Still has drawing power, and bodies heal. A lot of people thought Couture was pooched before his last title run.

[@badongdi]

nice Profile picture lol, almost had me haha

[@matthewsmith9270]

The Rock hasn't been on hiatus, he's been in movies the whole time. Which is acting just like pro wrestling.

[@UFCBrockLesnar1]

No just a realist who can see how similar the 2 sports are. And there are millions of people that know this.

[@agoodbookin84]

What's on CM Punks t-shirt? It's awesome

[@volstar8]

CM Punk and Jim Carrey could be identical twins

[@mimortal]

Best in the wooorrrrrrrrrld

[@JXL21]

Has that list of UFC fighters that want to knock out Ariel Helwani gotten longer?

[@XplosionMMA]

So you are saying that he cannot love MMA? Because his work is nothing like MMA! Everywone has a fucking opinion and choice in life, he chose Wrestling.

[@jmpunk14]

20-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Makiaveli01]

What a grown man can watch whatever the FUCK he wants

[@572853]

Probably "duckin" the question because he has already answered it multiple times before with Ariel.

[@wrathchild11]

MC PUNK!!!!
