Retro Ups And Downs: CM Punk's WWE Raw Pipebomb - 10 Years On

[@98nh3609]

Ten years later and it's practically like Vince is trying to live up to every opinion Punk shared in that pipe bomb

[@theboogeyman7973]

Exactly

I had completely forgotten that Shawn Michaels was on the same show that had Punk's Pipebomb Promo.

[@olzgmr3783]

Oh no how dare you forget 🤣🤣🤣

[@rongiefaustino8867]

Shawn: I don’t drink. Punk: Anymore. Burn.

[@manumateos4320]

Shawn: we dont do drugs... Punk: anymore Shawn: *superkicks David otunga*

10 years ago today, and it's still one of the greatest moments in pro wrestling history.

[@Zigzagalltheway]

And the greatest promo ever

[@grandcanyon-fu9zt]

this promo was on the same day as Cena's debute...

[@Carlinisalive]

The promo that got me back into pro wrestling

[@FnRenner]

What? A promo about how bad WWE was made you watch? How does that make sense, outside of being a masochist?

[@Carlinisalive]

@@FnRenner I was watching for WWE for CM Punk mostly during this time period this promo is the reason I learned about New Japan

[@watersandblue6001]

It's funny that 10 yrs later we still never heard of the Vince / Bullying Story.

[@jere.nurkka]

And nobody has ever even asked out that

[@ryangriffiths5179]

Vince bullied the fans into eating $#!+ by not doing anything exciting on raw for 20years

[@ryangriffiths5179]

There you go-the story is out there

Royal Rumble 92 would be a great one, just cos I want to see Simons thoughts on Heenan’s amazing commentary during, arguably, the best Rumble match ever.

[@trueblue5567]

Not only that, don’t forget repo man was in the rumble as well! 1992 was for sure the best royal rumble

[@ethanisfancy]

I know that this sounds dumb, but it’s weird to think that a whole show happened before Punk’s promo. Like, I remember the promo almost word for word, but I had completely forgotten that there was a wheel theme in the episode and that R-Truth was in the main event

[@willkayl8793]

Same. I couldn’t have told anyone what happened on this show before the promo.

[@echeng20552]

@@willkayl8793 the only thing I remember is Cena was laying in the ring after being put through a table

[@dunion711]

The worst part of it is that everything Punk says in this promo is still the case. Nothing has changed in 10 years. In fact, its a hell of a lot worse.

[@pratyushchandra3354]

19 years since Cena's debut. Could be cool to look back at

[@tonyarose21]

THIS. or because Simon Miller goes indepth into the time frame that the episode/ppv was set it, what about the first time we saw the Doctor of Thuganomics? That would be glorious. Because I was so young at a time of the debut, that I only remember the debut, but then the rapping was normal to me after that.

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

CM Punk still said it right even today after 10 years about WWE & its future

[@f.n04]

Remember watching this as a kid. Goosebumps then. Even though I barely knew what he was saying, you could tell something about it was different. Such a legendary moment

[@Trulyniraza]

The scariest thing about the Pipebomb is that everything Punk said FUCKING 10 YEARS AGO still holds true. I believe all pro wrestling fans remember this moment like it happened yesterday because it was literally the one thing we've always wanted to hear from someone from inside the company, and when it actually happened it was extremely cathartic.

[@sakhilemakhaya3103]

Simon thank you, for your eternal hard work on this channel

[@jamessatherley2022]

Finally the C.M Punk pipebomb promo gets a golden up!!

[@entryofemotion12]

I forgot this entire night OTHER than the promo, and jesus its actually a solid raw. I forgot what that's like these days.

Man this makes me fucking feel old has hell

[@ntheyezimba5856]

In my opinion WWE was interesting from 2011-2014 I loved it a lot and I remember this episode like it was yesterday as an 11 year old.

[@mbusigumede2033]

As a teenage boy, I'm gonna tell my future kids about the pipebomb, then make sure my kids tell my grandkids and my grandkids tell their kids and so on The pipebomb will be spoken about for generations and generations!

Cm punks pipe bomb was awesome so iconic he was also a good wrestler it ranks up there along with HBK his promo in Montreal was incredible my suggestion next week is Summerslam 2000

[@andrewatuahene3234]

This was a classic show the pipebomb lives on because he was telling the truth long live the pipebomb. lol

[@o5h123]

WWE had one last shot and blew it.

[@CmdrUD87]

That season of Tough Enough was very interesting, though. Exposure for quite a few people who would go on to do bigger and better things- also, it contributed to the creation of the Bray Wyatt character

Punk’s whole run was while I was a lapsed fan, so all the continual rumors of a return are not personal for me. It didn’t take long in my catch-up stuff to hear about the pipe bomb, though.

[@Destinedhellfire]

I had no idea this took place on my birthday, that's pretty cool.

[@MrBananaCheeks]

I hadn't watched wrestling for about 7 or 8 years until I randomly saw the pipebomb promo, and then I watched almost weekly until CM Punk left. Now it's just the Rumble and Wrestlemania, and any AEW KZbin show that Orange Cassidy is on

[@AegisKHAOS]

For a brief moment, both the pipebomb and MitB 2011 made me a WWE fan again. The pipebomb said everything and more that the fans had felt, and still feel today. And, of course, Punk vs Cena was just amazing especially with that Chicago crowd and the finish.

Could you please do a Retro Ups and Downs from January 23, 2006 please? I don't think anything special on it happened, but it was the very last RAW (or anything) that I would watch together with my Mom EVER because a few days later I would go back to Colorado from Oregon to be with my new husband, as ordered to do by my Mom, and then a few days later on February 2, 2006 my Dad called me to tell me that my had died a few hours before. She was the HUGEST wrestling fan ever! I miss her more and more everyday. Thank you.

[@JL-sm6cg]

I wasn't fully back into it. I only watched this because it was in Vegas, where I lived at the time, and I almost went to it, so I was lucky to catch this when it happened.

There was a group of drinks a section over that kept yelling "TNA". And the crowd noise is obviously muted at the end of the Pipebomb, because we were chanting "Let Him Speak"...a lot. And very loudly.
