May 9, 2005 - Heat - Val Venis vs CM Punk

[Malletdude31]

Wow. That was a great match.

[thedarkknight387]

@mikeliverpool25....no way in hell dude

[Mikeliverpool25]

Val Venis needs to return now and take the WWE championship from CM Punk

[abelherrera11]

This was a decent match. I was expecting more of a squash match, but this was a lot more back-and-forth.

[sampras43]

he's not a kid from the south, he's a kid from the south side

[SymphonyOfDestruct99]

I prefer this modest CM Punk anytime than current big mouth / rockstar wannabe Punk.

[XYxTheOppxJX]

@SymphonyOfDestruct99 rockstar wtf stupiddddd

[jsandk1]

i know val venis in person



[mrmartinez41]

@ssarmy23n are you joking? hbk is a rare breed that you can't tell hes over selling... he openly admits to being immature in the hogan match

[WWEStagesInHD]

How can they say its a Tryout match they booked val venis to win? Because punk showed his talent but they made him lose anyway?

[Ayxism]

@WWEStagesInHD That's how it always is, they see how they can work with the crowd and see how smooth they move on TV. They're not going to let a jobber win to a current WWE Employee unless right there and then he'd get a contract, most of these matches are never a guaranteed contract.

[nflannery59]

Now Val Venis would be jobbing in a squash vs CM Punk

[theiconextremeenigma]

i was there and only remember the steven richards match before this

[027jonathan]

@iruleall15 He joined the SES

[UglyMilfKilla]

cm punk his jobber days

[randyHEADLOCKorton]

coach is shit so is venis.

[tcw4ever123]

@iruleall15 I never understood that either! I know he cut it shorter after a while, but then he came back with it shaved. Never liked it shaved. Lol.

[ITzJaYOhh]

if you've seen some of Punk's old matches(IWA, CZW, ROH, etc.) then you can't help but be a fan from seeing how hard he worked to get where he is now.

[TurtleDustin]

this shows why i love Val Venus, he would make ppl look good where everyone else just jobs em out.

[yohatube]

Wow...... Punk is the man now, and Val is now ranting....

[Narastu666]

Best in The World!

[MattWinton]

I hate it when people take arm drag bumps like Punk does. They just look so awful. One of the first things you learn in wrestling school is how to roll and make the bump look good but safe.I kinda giggled at Val doing the indy standoff sequence. I know he can work but he was just such a CHARACTER based wrestler that it feels almost wrong to see him do something like that.

[nflannery59]

Val Venis was an attitude era embarrasment

[TyrannosaurusThunder]

CM Punk lost to this pervert?

[KOGWIZ]

i miss this cm punk

[SCARFACE40214]

Man, the WWE really dropped the ball with CM Punk.........oh wait :)

[ninerent]

theyre talking about cena in the match nd now look cena hasnt beaten punk

[jhop4life]

this was vals best match lol

[iruleall15]

Val your hair! noooo!!

[MustafaBaskal]

whys everyone on punks ass these days? half of the people that suck his ass didnt hear of him before his wwe debut

[MrRevengeboy]

@MustafaBaskal tatz becoz he had to fight to get what he has today...he isn't a tailor made champ like john cena

[The222Natural]

Did coach say he's "not cocky" enough? Have you seen him before this match in ROH?

[MrCMPUNKFAN1000]

even as a former jobber punk was good

[1snub]

did coach say hes a nice kid from the south??

[whoo689]

Oh, god. CM Punk had to lose to fucking Val Venis??? Didn't a new, great superstar EVER win a fucking match on Heat? Punk could wrestle circles around Val Venis. Back then, the only show Val was still on was Heat, while Punk is now a big name. Who's laughing now?

[1snub]

@whoo689 he didnt officaly debut till the next year

[TopDog69]

@whoo689 He wasn't even signed at this time. They're not gonna have an unsigned go over one of their roster are they.

[StMarciano]

My ears! MY EARSSS!!!

[tmanuel44]

@StMarciano Damnit! As soon as I read your comment the video started and raped the fuck out of my ears! Damn headphones...

[lilluigi619]

old school punk should be a downloadable attire on the next game

[lilluigi619]

He hardly has any tattoos and he has blond highlights lol classic punk at his best

[sasgay]

I miss Heat, and Velocity. It was a nice opportunity to see underused talents work nice, if short, matches against each other, it was like they had a ten minute free reign to work as they liked. Case in point : The London/Yang series.

[ReggieMD]

well at least he didnt job to val

[YouSkateChannel]

worst sound ever

[PivotMakeranimations]

LOL Val Venis won

[scorchingscone96]

is that the ref who screwed Bret?

[TRNCakaprodigy]

@Datyoungphenom woah dude u went back in time O_O

[Colonelmj]

@TRNCakaprodigy hahahahahaha

[brucefu23]

@TRNCakaprodigy LMAO HE EPICALLY FAILED dumb 6 year old

[gowwe12]

Val Venis sucks

[nykia31]

Val was a heck of a athlete....how come he became a jobber?

[Lyrix4D]

@nykia31 Wasn't over (at that time) gimmick that was used a million times allready + average in ring skills. Meh, solid Midcarder

But yes, he's a great athlete though

[frankenslammer95]

and now hes the wwe champ

[TelsaBlaze]

WOW great short match, great performance to both athletes, I can't believe now i never like of watch CM Punk matches before, HE IS FREAKING AWESOME, and he show great respect here making heel in this fight against a legend like Venis, love CM Punk more he is the face that WWE need now.

[TheSalman5555]

cm punk is way better than val venis

[wwehardcore3000]

Its so wierd seeing val venis bald

[GPBS]

Also, Penis jokes? What is this, 1998?

[GPBS]

Good little match. I love Punk, but give credit to Val too. He was never the most super athletic but an extremely solid wrestler that didn't mind trying out new things.

[TheRimmer27]

cm spunk vs val penis

[aeroblaziken4145]

@TheRimmer27 u mean val no penis lol

[Jerry420ification]

spike TV had to drop the WWE because the show was no longer designed for "men"

[jamille5150]

@Jerry420ification no they dropped them cuz they wanted a crappier wrestling show

[Iamtheenemy17]

CM Punk as a Jobber... Hmm.

[KurtAngleRox]

@Iamtheenemy17 To Val Venus none the less

[Iamtheenemy17]

@KurtAngleRox Seems almost sad for such a talented guy.

[JackgarPrime]

@Iamtheenemy17 Ya gotta keep this in mind, though: When was the last time someone in the role of jobber did that much damage to a name guy? Sure he wasn't a main eventer, but Val's someone who was always really over.

Plus hey, it's a tryout match. You're bound to lose if you don't have a Titantron.

[FreakofWWE]

Val venis ? i think this should mean Val Penis ^^

[megamurg]

@FreakofWWE

Heyyyy ooohh!!

[Dosmosable]

@FreakofWWE thats the joke

[MrAttitudeEra316]

@FreakofWWE or pal penis!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xWomensChampionx]

Val Venis shoulda kept his long hair, ahah

[OCcrazy1]

@xWomensChampionx he was going bald

[JakaxBone3672]

nice kid? pshhh watch his house shows

[JohnJeevasingham]

At 4:53 does the announcer call the clothesline before it happens? LoL.

[OCcrazy1]

@JohnJeevasingham the audio is ahead of the video

[RamboAAK]

@JohnJeevasingham maybe it is out of sync by a second or something

[MrNauran]

And now, CM Punk is the biggest name in WWE.

[Fuckmyfatassoneeye]

@MrNauran hes far from the biggest name in the WWE...but he is heading that way

[MrNauran]

@Fuckmyfatassoneeye

Hence the 'now'.

[Fuckmyfatassoneeye]

@MrNauran hence the word now...STILL IMPLIES YOU THINK HE IS THE BIGGEST NAME IN THE WWE...its not true..like I said hes far from the biggest, but hes heading that way...so hence nothing you moron

[MrNauran]

@Fuckmyfatassoneeye

You're absolutely right, I'm sorry.

[jb0609]

great match.

[stone85]

cm punk related to punky brewster lol if he were a relative or step relative of punky he'd run fenster fall pretty good by telling those foster kids to lead a good straight edge life even punky & her friends since punky is fictionally from chicago & punk is really from chicago i guess fenster hall could use a hero

[Geolink2349]

7:45 Val's mini push on Heat comes to a quick closure. "MY KNEECAP! ARGH!"

[5020maine]

cm punk was a jobber lol

[TheShinyHitmontop]

Dare: Full youtube volume, full comp. volume, headphones, full video.

[SashaNein]

LET'S SEE IF I CAN MAKE THIS VIDEO ANY LOUDER IN WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER. +600 DECIBELS? GO FOR IT LOLOLOL HERP DERP

[Rocknrollndie]

my ears are bleeding..

[SSCode09]

i wanna see Val back!!! all we have is just retarded cena, the nexus and the Shitting corre

[RENAGADEeb]

cm punks hair is highlighted lol

[watbe]

punk is a nice kid ! really ?

[ELIMINATORRRR]

This is a really good match here and proved to me that Val Venis really was a good wrestler, i mean DAMN he pulled out of a few brilliant moves which seemed to come from nowhere.

[sephron17]

Val Venis got out performed by CM Punk

[maxassasin911]

THANK YOU VAL FOR NOT BEING CRAP LIKE MATT HARDY AND JOHN CENA TO GET PUNK IN ALSO DONT FUCK WITH PUNK BITCHES

[SuperDJMISTERY]

Triple H told him to cut off his hair

[Quentin242451]

@SuperDJMISTERY Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what happened. . .

[awesomecaws]

damn i had to turn down the volume on my computer and this video just to watch it

[JaSchAirbourne]

Val Venis beat a former World Heavyweight, ECW, Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion ... and he still never got a push lmao

[Quentin242451]

@JaSchAirbourne Dude, Val Venis defeated Mankind on PPV, this is nothing.

Val got a push, he just never became a full fledged Main Eventer.

[legmaq]

CM Punk kicked Val Venis' monkey behind!

[lordvader0215]

if these two squared off today, i'm sure Punk will beat venis in just 1 minute.

[MrRatedRRedneck]

lulz aahh I remember the money shot

[no1arsnlfan]

i miss heat

[TNAJeffHardy13]

Lol the difference between the wrestling skills is funny Punk owned Val

[DJBlacK071]

Punk with Blond Hair!!!!

[yo20112463neos]

val penis more like it

[JacktheDragon10]

CM Punk shits on Val Venis in every aspect in wrestling imaginable.

[TheLaidBackDrummer]

Ok really the only thing that make the PG era different is the way they tip-toe around the bad words, no blood, and the sexual content. I mean did you hear Cole trying to tell us about the Bella's and what they were talking about last week, lol. But I think TNA goes overbord a little too much, I mean asshole is a common word for the show each week, not really that funny anymore. And it won't be too much different in WWE cause it was not because Linda was doing the senate run that they changed.

[Quentin242451]

@TheLaidBackDrummer Actually the reason for the extreme change is because of WWE's deal with Mattel.

[pgestradasp1]

Val had all the tools wonder why he never got a real push.

[TsytaNZ]

@pgestradasp1 would u want a porn star champ? lol.

his gimick wasnt championship material, and he never got a push cos he was in wwf/e in a time where u had taker/kane/hhh/rock/austin/jer­icho, those guys were so over it was almost impossible for anyone else to get a title push lol.

[G1OverThere]

If only we'd known how important CM Punk would be in the WWE...

What a difference 5 years makes.

[buttercremehonda]

1:37 "I know CM Punk...is a kid from the South" Gee Coach, I never knew Chicago was in the Southern United States. Thanks for the geography lesson and AWESOME commentary as always.

[pepto246]

BIG BALBOWSKI ! :)

[MrTimbalis]

miss these matches back in the day

[bartov]

Val Venis was really underrated.

[IBurningStar]

RHISRATHHIRSRARROONEFRAAAHFURS­FRUMAHNVAHSHAAAHVINAAS

[dumaramutsi]

thank you for the ear rape you fag!

[smoothscottiej]

@dumaramutsi couldbe worse....could be Val Venis rape lol

[MrAdrianpau]

43/10

[Enigma07111991]

Who bets money Val Venis won't get so lucky next time they're in the ring?

[JuanitoRocks]

"and here it is, John Cena's new music vide"..... THANK YOU FOR ENDING THE VIDEO RIGHT THERE!

[Bladersperscelta]

7:14 Rock bottom.

[slim210lbs]

i think it shows WWEs respect and expectations for punk when they allowed him to keep his ring name when he came to the full roster

[jasall18]

both were great in this match. I am not a Venis fan, but i think, he was good. But i could clearly see, that punk were better

[iseeredpeoples]

YOUTUBES LOUDEST VIDEO

[mik315onfire]

@iseeredpeoples scared the bejesus out of me

[biggmorris]

@iseeredpeoples LOL

[sup3rkyle1]

i know god thats loud

[eliterammer]

@iseeredpeoples thanks for the heads-up!!!!

:)

[00WhereEvilDwells]

Great selling of the knee by Big Val!!! Most of the current WWE roster could learn a lot on the art of selling from watching this match. I'm glad WWE have resigned Val, he is a great teacher and has a good eye for talent. Great try out for Punk, love the cheap heel chop block after the hand shake.

[somedudelol]

@00WhereEvilDwells

Val will be back as a producer, and his in ring role will be very small (kind of like the other older guys backstage.. probably only appear every now and then)... however he will be back there and he can give his guidance to the youngblood

[nikbatesNLB]

I remember watching this match, when it aired! I realized it once I saw the chop block

[BigRedWrestling94]

wow val venis is underrated, really good talent.

[11094DEREK]

if the match happened again this week cm punk would win the only reason he lost was because he was a jobber and everyone would be mad if val venis lost anyway im saying val venis sucks

[Giancarlodude]

Val venis for hall of fame

[Macikro]

2005, cm punk jobbed here, but still better than Venis with multiple World Heavyweight Titles, just like was the case with AJ Styles when WWE didn't take him, and now he is doing great in TNA since it started being a champion of each belt.

WWE also dropped the ball on ECW, should've been separate from WWE, and just let MchMahon fund to how Heyman wishes, but he likes Drama, and catering to kids, which is not who give the company their money, it's mainly adults, which pay for the kids anyways.

[ShitheadFarty]

what move is that @ the 5:51 mark ?

[IASP17]

@ShitheadFarty swinging powerbomb or something

[00WhereEvilDwells]

@ShitheadFarty It's called a, Blue Thunder Powerbomb, mate...... Not a Swinging Powerbomb as IASP17 called it. Sorry, I'm a total wrestling geek, not many moves out there that I haven't seen before.  If there's a move you don't know fire a link to me and I'm pretty sure I can identify it for you!!!

[InaWonder]

WWE ho-hum.

[Narutero30001]

Saludos

[Embalmer2009]

The only thing that ruins this and every match that he referees, is Earl Hebner and his fake 2 counts. He always "slips" and over sells the 2 count.

[Soulcrush19]

Fuck the pg era thats whats making wwe suck dick

[GameboyT1]

Val Venis was one of my favourite wrestlers, to bad he was released.

[KidAlphabet]

I miss the old WWE, where there was sex and violence, this PG shit is lame

[slowdude]

@KidAlphabet

If you want sex GO WATCH A FUCKING PORNO.

There still is violence, not as much as before but god it was boring in 06-08 where people bladed every second match. They are taking a break and eventually will go back to more violence.

Why do you want Sex though? Go watch a porno.

[777777777777776]

@slowdude go watch a porno??? rlly its called porn with no 'o' slow dude

[slowdude]

@777777777777776

Man your a retard. Seriously Porno is just another way of saying porn. Seriously how can't you know that?

[gdf7595]

@slowdude 06 was a great year , so what are you talking about

[slowdude]

@gdf7595

No it wasn't. They exploited the death of Eddie. Smackdown was lackluster all year with Rey's terrible reign. Booker sucked, Batista was the worst. ECWWE failed the first night and sucked all year round. DX vs McMahons/Spirit Squad/Umaga/BigShow/Other heels sucked and it was a continuation of HBK vs McMahons/Spirit Squad. Super Cena sucked as did his feud with Edge. Stupid storyline likes like the imposter Kane. I could go on but I'm reaching my character limit.

[tjmack010]

@KidAlphabet, what does sex have to do with wrestling?

[OldSchoolECW]

@KidAlphabet Sex and Violence doesn't make a wrestling company great dude. If it does to you, then you aren't a wrestling fan.

[FreeThinkingGamers]

@OldSchoolECW Your right there man no violence thats what I want, good old verbal abuse wrestling is the way to go

[OldSchoolECW]

@FreeThinkingGamers Okay dipshit answer me this, how does Sex and Blood make a wrestling match better in any way what so ever?

[FreeThinkingGamers]

@OldSchoolECW I didnt say the sex or the blood made for a good wrestling match but the violence is the wrestling. wrestling is violent. I don't want a chair shot to the head in any future matches but i do want violence, a suplex, an armbar

[OldSchoolECW]

@FreeThinkingGamers A Suplex? A Armbar? You see that pretty much all the time in the ring, so why are you complaining?

[DUCETEAM2D]

@KidAlphabet if that's whatchu miss you like wrestling 4 the wrong reasons

[bigbaltimore08]

@DUCETEAM2D Holy shit. Someone else finally gets it!! You can have great wrestling in the PG era. The promos may change, but the wrestling is still the same.

[DUCETEAM2D]

@bigbaltimore08 yea i mean that sex and violence stuff is cool but as long as i'm seeing good wrestling i'm good

[bigbaltimore08]

@DUCETEAM2D Exactly! That stuff can be entertaining too, but It's not exactly what I'm into wrestling for. The main part is and always will be the matches.

[DUCETEAM2D]

@bigbaltimore08 yeah some people don't have that passion like us i got porn if i wana see sex and i'm in da hood just step outside if you wana see violence lol i wana see good matches great moves ya cool attire nice entrances

[spectrald0ll]

@KidAlphabet your a fucking idiot

[DarkSaviourV2]

@KidAlphabet go watch porn then.

[squidlad]

Uhhhh for fuck sake, the attitude era where there was "sex and violence" lasted a grand total of five years. WWE was pg or the equivalent thereof some forty years before. And now they're pg again, get used to it!

[DannyHBK4Life]

sex and violence isnt wrestling.. go watch Jerry Springer

[Jerry420ification]

@DannyHBK4Life right, thats why during that attitude era, the WWE AND WCW, TWO WRESTLING COMPANIES, NOT ONE, both were pulling 5.0 ratings on monday nights, now JUST ONE WRESTLING SHOW can barely pull a 3.0 rating. Must be because didn't like the attitude era, thats why they watched it and they don't watch it anymore. Must be because wrestling is more entertaining now. NOT

[SethGoTribe]

@KidAlphabet sounds like you need to be institutionalized lmfao. MORE sex n violence is the last thing this country needs

[jables4ever]

I’m still not sure if I liked Punk more in TNA or WWE. He was one of Raven’s kids in TNA so maybe that’s why it turned me off but his matches were still good.

[KornmanUNstoppable]

@jables4ever he was at his best in ROH

[dudemanbearpig]

Terrible sound quality

[Smittycent1]

"CM Punk is a kid from the South"

Huh? Chicago's in the South now?

[straightedgeman56]

So let me say this...Jeff Hardy, Punk and Cena get contracts by getting their ass kicked but has to be entertaining and can put a good match at the same time to earn a contract? sounds easy

[J2theK123]

@straightedgeman56 yeah i think its cuz they show that they are good fundamentally

[straightedgeman56]

@J2theK123 oh i see cuz im like 30% Entertaining and 20% Techincal and 50% High Flying

[makinsjkm]

@J2theK123 too bad for phillip he got dumped by lita 2 months ago. 1 reason was he just didnt show much appeal to her .
