Punk is just that. A punk

[@OG-Ghost33]

Some of the wisest words I’ve ever heard a man speak about failure

[@bryantalbott2116]

The more I hear Tony talk, the more I like him! This clip is awesome and what he shared on the Vince documentary is great. God bless Tony Atlas. Foot fetish or not…. Dude spits facts and is vulnerable.

[@jonrobbin170]

He had the best show on MWF Boston Wrestling called Tuesdays with Tony

Don't listen to his step daughters interview, u may despise Tony

[@jamiepreston1490]

Mr, Atlas you are 100% correct. Wise Words!

[@juliangallegos7627]

I believe Tony would win TKO 😂 0-3 Fragile Phil

Nice interview yesterday

[@jamie.777]

This interview is over 10 years old bro

[@tebraizshahzad3364]

The Irony is Punk considered himself Old School in AEW and got upset the younger wrestlers didn't treat him the same way and approach him for advice. This was actually well known before his infamous backstage punch up with The Young Bucks.

[@jamie.777]

Tony chose getting his face kicked by woman over making a show.😂😂 you act like Tony isn't insane

[@q2rawgaming247]

Mickey Gall exposed CM Punk for how tough he really is….contrary to how great he thinks he is 💯

[@bigyodatheman]

Lololol Gall would have done the same to every pro wrestler, so no, it doesn't say that much.

[@q2rawgaming247]

@@bigyodatheman Any Wrestler??? BULLSHYT….Gall sucks and still mauled Punk unmercifully 😆😆😂😂😂

[@bigyodatheman]

@@q2rawgaming247 lololol and Punk handled and Bucks and Perry easily, so what does that say? He wouldn't take care of Lesnar, fair, 95% of everyone else?

[@Nostalgia9478]

And them Punk exposed how weak the Young Bucks/Jack Perry are by slapping em silly Punk was undefeated in backstage AEW fights. Shows how weak the AEW roster is.loo

[@464588]

Ever since he got fired from aew cm punk just comes across as fake to me

[@pkizzlebeats]

Punk is also a lot more old school than people realize…he talks about being an old school style guy in the modern era, he was the last, along with Daniel Bryan, to be on the Indy circuit at at time when it was little to no Indy scene n made a name for himself being self trained to a certain extent…another part of me also feels that he felt that he was being cast aside by being sent to ovw when he thought they wanted to bring him up to the main roster or at least ECW…so when he got to OVW, he was super bitter and I think that’s kinda where punk started to get the reputation of being a “punk” in real life…but people mold into who they are today based on their past experiences nobody is that way when they first born, there gotta be an action to make u react like that…I also think he went the hbk way where he was never respected or liked so when he finally got his opportunity, he rubbed it in everyone’s face…same with punk 🤷

[@paulschaefer5485]

Wow. Tony spittin wisdom.

[@thomascoker7703]

Gordon Sollie on that list of HOF. I appreciate Tony's perspective. Great Man Humble amd Appreciates Life and Family now!!!

"But someone here is being an asshole"

[@F_MV1]

A ASSSSSHOOOOLE

[@carlDJS]

Spoke about Punk for less than 2 minutes, yet thats the title for the video and doesn't acknowledge anything else he spoke about lol. Punk told his side of this OVW story, Tony seemed ignorant to the talent and not knowing Punk was already on the main roster.

[@jonbourgoin182]

Found the punk mark.

​@jonbourgoin182 and here's the Punk hater 😂

[@RatedRcny]

I don't believe CM Punk had no respect for the past when all he's ever done is pay homage to wrestlers a generation or two before him. I think Tony Atlas thought he was a jabroni and treated him like one. According to Punk Atlas didn't even know he was ECW Champion.

[@TheEWFX29]

Because Punk says something doesn't mean its true or he believes it. He said he was going to be with the WWE for a long time and he wasn't going anywhere when he resigned in 2011. He was gone soon after. He said he was never going to return to WWE he currently is employed by WWE. So if he says something doesn't mean its going to happen. He had/has no respect for anyone except himself so what he says is only to enhance himself. So if saying he is old school is beneficial to him he will say it. And he will play it out until it isnt helpful to him anymore. But you see by the actions he showed Tony Atlas he didn't respect him because he thought Tony was just a muscle head who was fed a career and who had everything handed to hm. Which is partially true but if Tony couldn't keep up he would have been dumped off much more sooner. So Punk disrespected Tony because he didn't think Tony was a real wrestler and just a muscle head with no brains. Which shows you why he is always fighting for a spot himself. No one believes Punk will do what the company wants or needs from him. So he has to prove if he still can be someone who the company relies on.
