*WWE (as the usual) dropped the ball on this storyline so hard. I remember how 11-year-old me was so highly invested in the storyline. From CM Punk dropping that infamous pipebomb, to the build up to match at Money in the Bank between Cena and Punk and even the match as well everything from the beginning was just pure perfection. And then WWE decided to kill his momentum by making him lose the Triple H which was super pointless. SMH.*

[@GameBreaker1055]

@@icyprincey nah, Vince told him to let it all out. Vince has no issues with getting insulted if it draws money. And the pipebomb sure did.

2:52 Correction: It was actually James Gibson(aka Jamie Noble) who defeated Punk for the ROH World Title. Colt Cabana was the one who beat Punk in his last ROH Match.

[@dizzidazegaming]

Gibson had one of the best moments. While Punk was talking crap, James just casually walking out, taping his hands in full view of Punk, then blasting for the ring. You knew then, that James was going to be ROH's hero for the Summer of Punk.

This could have been the best storyline in the world. Just think if they had actually had Punk go to other promotions and defend the belt and beat their top guys. While wwe could of actually had a good tournament to crown a champion and have Punk comeback and ruin the finals. It could have been so amazing.

[@ronaldkhupe7608]

To be honest, 2011 was definetly the summer of Cm punk, his feud with John cena was awesome along with triple h, Kevin Nash and Alberto del rio

[@dontheavatar]

All except how most of those matches ended

[@sethfreakinrollins9889]

Crazy to think CM Punk would have never left WWE in the first place, if he had gotten the one thing he had been wanting all along, a Mania main event. (The account in the reply section is not me).

[@mycahjofficial]

WrestleMania 29 would’ve been the perfect time for CM Punk to get his ‘Mania main-event. But unfortunately WWE decided to end his historic 434-day title reign in the most disappointing way possible by making him lose to The Rock just so they could have him and Cena go at it again which made that whole “Once In A Lifetime” match complete nonsense.

[@GameBreaker1055]

@@mycahjofficial I mean, he did get his Undertaker match, which arguably WAS the main event of Wrestlemania at that time. Honestly, between defending a belt in the final match of the show against two wrestlers with no momemtum and taking on the streak, Punk honestly had the match with the better audience.

@@mycahjofficial and the funny/sad thing is that they could have still build a blockbuster main event by having Rocky (the Hollywood A-lister and WWE legend) vs Cena (the company man) vs Punk (the indy rebel), which would have add the additional benefits of: (1) not being a mockery of what was marketed as the "Once in a Lifetime" event just the year prior; (2) not making the outcome as obvious as it turned out to be; (3) not making one of their biggest money-making stars leave while still in his prime.

[@2011cactusjack]

It worked for me. I hadn’t watched the WWE for years prior to this. It was my favorite year but then after he left, I remembered why I quit watching them. More of the same, rehashed garbage.

[@Alan-oj3ps]

I really thought 2011 was going to bring in the next wrestling boom period. We had a set of new main eventers like Christian, Henry, Truth, and Del Dio. And silly me thought Punk would be the new Austin leading the way. Unfortunately RAW became the HHH and Stephanie show. That's when myself and millions of others started to change the channel. I already endured the Triple H and Steph love fest during the Attitude era.

[@angelow2562]

I’m happy that MITB 2011 was the last time we heard Killswitch Engage’s this fire burns 🔥(in WWE), cause that entrance and pop was perfect. 💯

[@mjbalistreri]

10 years later and I still can’t believe how badly WWE screwed up the follow up to the pipe bomb and title win.

[@My19812011]

3.50 it was Shawn Michaels who saved CM Punk’s career in WWE and was spoken about by Dave Lagana, Heyman had very little stroke in the company at that point and being a “Heyman Guy” hurt Punk more than helping him but Shawn Michaels always had Vince’s ear and went to bat for Punk

[@neonprotegewrestling9147]

The trilogy with Joe was seen by Mick Foley who recommended them to WWE, small addition of details

[@Kritacul]

If this truly was a scripted storyline, it is one of THE best that the WWE has ever put out. And we may not see another one like this for a long time.

[@tomKATT92]

It sucks because it could have been SO MUCH BETTER! It started really hot, with the Pipebomb and Cena MITB etc, but then ... yeah just got worse after that really. Edit: Also great content as always!

[@danielproctor5237]

Great video, thanks!!

[@edge7799]

Thank you for posting this😉✌️

[@strategic1710]

Vince will never understand that he will always be the heel. It started with the screw job. To be a face people have to be able to relate to something, anything, about you, and Vince might be the most unrelatable person on the planet. He’s probably a top 3 all-time heel though.

[@Osiris2009]

Correction at 14:47. It wasn’t a single Pedigree. It was three. Still nicely put together, just a couple of corrections like this and the Gibson one already commented on.

[@Hunkzilla]

Alberto Del Rio is easily the most unover main eventer in WWE history. No boos and no cheers . Just criekets!!

[@GameBreaker1055]

That's because he was obviously not meant to ever actually get the title. They probably had planned for him to have a failed cash in against a face.

[@adhdbags3121]

Punk actually lost the RoH title from James Gibson in a multiman match. He fought Cabana in his farewell match.

[@Prinxe14]

It would be more exciting if he returned longer than two weeks. If Vince can have Lesnar show once or twice a year then, surely he could have made Punk show after a few months to add more spice to the storyline.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I honestly totally forgot how bungled this story was following him winning the belt at MITB because I just think of the pipe bomb so fondly. But looking back at how awesome things were once MITB ended and the potential it had, and then thinking back that he genuinely was out the door until the final moment to commit long term his disdain makes a lot more sense. He came to the event having signed a two day extension to get through the event and didn’t sign a true contract until hour into the actual event. And you have to imagine all the proooses that were made to win him over and that he may have allowed himself to believe that it would happen. Then once he’s signed the dotted line they have him return immediately, have him lose the title in a lame as hell way, and then feud with Kevin Nash of all people. And then when he can’t even get cleared he gets to lose to HHH without much of night. Then he has to back HHH on TV before he wins back the title and goes on his run. And while having a record run more PPVs than not he wasn’t headlining the cards then he gets thrown to the rock, undertaker and Brock. So I can get it to an extent. You were finally ready to leave after being disappointed in not being seen at the top level, probably get promised the world to finally get you to sign on again and then you’re a second tier top guy, getting a run many would envy but always being second fiddle and how much at that point he must have wished he had just left.

This summer of punk thing could have easily brought Buzz to the entire Wrestling industry if only WWE worked with the other promotions to give the "Punk leaving WWE with the WWE title "more teeth . Fat chance of that ever happening. However ,Can you imagine the buzz seeing Punk defending the belt NJPW or ROH or TNA or CZW and so on . Have Punk defend the belt at these promotions for atleast 4 months . This would have been the biggest event in wrestling since the debut of the NWO . ... and then they could have had him return to the WWE in time for Survivor series to face Triple H , who has taken it upon himself to win back the WWE belt from Punk. Oh well , a fan can only dream ....

I didn't fully appreciate Punk until the SES era... When he became leader of Nexus and then the pipe bomb I was already a huge fan and went back and saw his ROH matches but even then I was a mega fan of wrestling watching everything. It wasn't like 2016-19 where the indies were booming... They were a small pond. Even TNA was watched by maybe a 4th of the audience at the time and ROH was way smaller fraction.
