    That was an interesting partnership. Because unlike some of Paul's guys who can't talk, CM Punk was the master of the promo.
  • @chrisgreig98
    "Paul Heyman saw something in me no one else wanted to admit" I always thought that was just a line he threw out there during the promo, I didn't realise they genuinely didn't know who he was when they hired him.
  • "he had no idea what he was going to say" and yet he did better promos than ANYONE else BY FAR
  • @BearmanBob
    "I'll see your kids at Wrestlemania" is actually a hilarious line
  • @user-ij3uq2rq5n
    His Vince impression is dead on. Close your eyes, and it’s Vince.
  • @serbonkers4130
    Punk feud with Taker was pretty underrated. He played that heel to perfection.
  • @Lynn_Shae0915
    Cm punk was definitely the reason I started back watching wwe
  • The fact that they hired Punk, not because they had seen him in a match, but because the read about him online, is astonishing.
  • I absolutely love that Jeff Hardy's Swanton was referred to backstage as a "flippy dippy thing".
  • "Who you gonna put me with?!" "CM Punk!" "...Well, fuck, I'll see you Monday!" Love that.
  • @Ndihrkop
    I could listen to him forever. The way he tells stories is unmatched.
  • I could seriously listen to that man speak about anything. He's hilarious, intelligent, and just an all around great person. I'd kill to meet this man.
  • "How do you turn CM Punk heel in Chicago? Make it more difficult. Make him turn heel on John Cena."😂😂
  • @MilMaska
    "Thats right. Im a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Hayman guy ? Brock Lesnar" - CM Punk
  • There's a solid reason CM Punk is revered by the fans. It's because nobody in the business has been better at cutting a promo nor can back it up in the ring better than him. He is and always will be one of the all time greats.

    History was made from their outstanding exchange between Paul and CM punk 11:31.
