 What's good Josh the boy Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out Jim Cornette's review of CM Punk's confrontation with Seth Franklin Rollins on WWE Raw. I love when they they call them Seth Franklin Rollins. I love when they they give these wrestlers these nicknames. It should hilarious a lot of you guys wanted me to check out some more Jim Cornette stuff and I have been personally looking forward to hearing his takes on the CM Punk Seth Rollins promo that they had this recently on Monday Night Raw. So I was waiting for them to actually drop this video and I wanted to you know Kind of do a reaction with you guys as well because you guys have been wanting me to check out some more Jim Cornette stuff So that's what we're gonna do. I want to see what he has to say about this promo because me personally this promo segment between Seth and CM Punk was fantastic Fantastic, and I hope we see more of a serious Seth Rollins than You know the craziness of Seth Rollins. I want a more serious character from him I want to see it elite a little bit more So we'll see what he has to say appreciate all of them sport skip right into this one Well speaking about things that make sense. I don't know how much of raw you think you're gonna be talking about here But why don't we we're talking about the segment and the ratings it did Why don't we talk about the punk segment right now? Yes, please? I think we should please because it's it's only one page in there Wasn't much in the first hour to get no take and this is why we call it the big nine o'clock hour right here The big nine o'clock hour and Adam Pierce was in the ring and He introduced of course the man who's gonna make his decision. Where is he gonna go? See him punk and suddenly He got the ovation. He got the viewers. He got the ratings. He's selling merchandise. Yeah music comes down He's got the chance and here sends him the mic and Here's the thing about We'll talk about the story told a second, but the fact Again, he told a story He talks to people everybody else almost is talking at him reciting things To them at them, but he's not talking or they're not talking to the people And in in the wrestling in the territory days, especially whether everybody likes it or not The heels but even the over baby faces they were Over the top personalities or they were boisterous or they were trash talkers or shit Disturbers that got you interested in themselves and and what the fight was and that they were going to be involved in the issue That was what drew money in modern times it is It is unfashionable to have a personality Be of a boisterous shit talking fucking Over-the-top fucking yahoo like goddamn handsome Jimmy valued or whatever the fuck but the the point Still remains that you have to believe what somebody is saying so even if Again having a personality these days is frowned upon in this environment Punk as a personality you know, he's got that Twinkle in his eyes An eye But he's same time you believe he's probably a good guy until maybe he's not But he talks to people he tells him a story he says shit that sounds like he believes it In a lot of cases he does it is genuine and He then as Jerry Jarrett used to say tell people the truth as long as you can That they know to be the truth because then when you work them for the sake of the wrestling They don't know where one starts the other stops That's if a punk is that's that's really a good a concept especially when it comes to wrestling That's why some of our favorites. They're able to spin a situation To make you truly believe what they're saying is actually real playing to the narrative or what they see online so well that At the end of the day, you don't know what's real and what's a work And it's getting harder to do that obviously with social media But when you can really blur those lines Telling most of the truth until you get into the wrestling side and start working the fans. You got it and There's not many wrestlers that can do that they can really sell you on What they're saying and probably what they're saying is actually true and actually how they feel and actually may have happened But then they add a little bit of the the work into it and you don't know what's real and what's faking what they're saying I love that. That's the best part of wrestling. Love it One of the best parts to people. He's genuine in that respect and a lot of these people To them he's come back to wrestling for the first time they didn't They didn't pay enough attention. It wasn't this week or their week to watch AEW where they paid enough attention that there was another wrestling show for some people Yeah, for this it's brand new for these people. Yep So he's breaking a little bit of the same ground but in a different fashion and in a whole lot bigger platform But do you get do you agree with me on that that almost? Everybody Brian these days we talk about it reciting memorized. It's like They might as well have a guy doing an in-ring promo just open on the ring with curtains Mm-hmm and have the curtains open and he you know By the last breath of the four winds that blow It's a fucking play you can't Believe it on an emotional level or get interested in somebody except for a few of the breakthrough word Smiths Just wait until they have a 20-minute segment with Cody and punk in the ring in the future because then it'll really show the dichotomy between the ways of speaking There's a lot of that some guys pull it off LA night Speaks above the audience, but to them Punk is telling a story Down to earth way whether you like him or not. That's just the way he delivers it. Yes And then you have people. I mean I hate to single out one of your favorites by Austin theory I can't believe anything this guy says He knocked he bruh, he said it in all a lot of us have felt the same way It's not that awesome theory can't be a very great talent. I just what he's saying you just don't buy John Cena even said it himself when he was cooking them right before WrestleMania the stuff you say we just don't buy and Maybe John was trying to light that fire and maybe get him to that point But anything Austin theory says no matter how good he is in the ring. You just you don't care because you just don't buy it You don't It's not his fault I think he's very talented and hopefully he can find his voice and and find that rhythm and that motion where he can be like Yeah, you know, I want to believe what he's telling me That's that's really 90% of the battle in wrestling making people believe And it's harder to make people believe nowadays with technology and social media So that's a very good comparison there. All right, I like Austin there I want him to be much better and they book him better, but I don't care for him cuz Have to shit he say I just don't believe in anything he's saying it's not his fault He may take a little bit blame of that, but they got to do something with him because he's very talented They deliver it yet He was he was headed in that direction and then they just kind of started floundering in every category But I think it still can be there, but the somebody needs to be working on it. He needs to be working on it Yes, it might ought to be In goddamn not even NXT. He ought to be an OVW Somebody in two TV markets is seeing him give him the whole show and let him just take over and see if you bring it out But nevertheless the other issue is not a lot of guys. Well, let me say what what you said hold on I'm still Respond to find you as far as Cody There's room for that too because he's so dramatic dusty was dramatic in his own Everyman son of a plumber way La night who's the the Rassler guy you see him punk who's the Modern guy you've got fucking Cody. Who's the dramatic guy? It's in the territories. Everybody was different they had a different style personality outlook Except for the people who are just there to just fucking rassle And they could be interchangeable. So it's oh they They're their baby faces and Jey Uso. I think he's different than all of he's yeeton all over the place Nobody else is yeeton They're all different that's what they've got going for him to I think triple H may have figured this out That what Vince Vince was just cookie cutter and a lot of fucking people Mm-hmm What I was gonna say is punk has one thing also going for him in that he's already a star and he's established how he talks when he talks What he does a lot of people? Would not get that opportunity to go out there and be more natural in what they're saying and that's that's another Fair point script and that may be a case with awesome theory. He may not even have that opportunity I think it's a combination of him and I do think management need to let him be a little bit more free Let him let more of himself come out into the character because right now they just got him on autopilot and Look like he's heading straight into a mountain like he's not really going nowhere But unfortunately from a lot of the guys that I see the way they do the written stuff I'm not sure they'd be that much better at the fucking ad lib But anyway, so punk the promo he drew the Analogy to Cleveland and that arena and what it had meant to him through his career if he You know head is like his I don't know if it was a tryout dark match, whatever, but he debuted in Cleveland and They he passed that test apparently and got sent to OVW And then he came back later on when he was on the roster to Cleveland as the world champion And I guess that's where Orton kicked him in the head and he got a concussion and they stripped him of the title and then that was where that he Did the Basically walked out and as he said took himself off the hamster wheel ten years ago almost to the day and And Everybody in Cleveland that was there. They're the faithful WWE fans. They knew that to be true And so then he said, you know, if anybody was disappointed or betrayed because I Because I went home because I couldn't take it. Whatever He felt the same way when Piper went to WCW. So if you were mad at me, I understand and I apologize And then, you know, he talked about the offers that everybody made but Pierce put the best deal together of all See if punk is not gonna be beating Pierce up in the near future. I do not believe like Orton can get away with with all this because of the different personality and dynamic and His mind was made up when he saw Cleveland on the schedule ten years ago I walked out now I've walked right back in and congratulations Adam Pierce see him punk is home And he signed the contract. Yes. This is when things are pretty good again. That's perfect You know, he takes you on the ride with him with enough of the inflections and asides and everything But at the same time you don't get it's not like oh god, can he get to the point? Oh god I wish this would be over like a lot of the other stuff because it's not coming from their heart And they're mine And there's not a you know when Even they've got these other guys saying these ridiculous things. There's not that level of connection Fair point, but I thought a good job there boom gets the pop and do you have any comments before the worm turns? Good job there at some of the points where he was talking Like you said not really speaking at the audience or past the audience They got quiet to hear what he was gonna say and I want to see how they were gonna react there a good promo though And then here comes the music of Seth Franklin Rollins And he still gyrated Pitchulated to the ring not gyrated when they get in a ring There's the big face off and the stair down and they milked it And in a while and the fans first it They started rumbling and they started to the whoa Or well goddamn I can never remember his tune Whatever the fuck they did And then As soon as Seth says welcome to Monday night Rollins And said don't dare call this place your home. Well, then they start chanting for punk and They've created a dynamic here where they're not switching Seth baby or he'll yeah, they don't have to he's just not gonna Goddamn have him. He's the There's always the one SOB in every crowd, right? And at least not right now I do think at some point they may switch him here because he's gonna obviously see if I'm just gonna be the over big He's gonna be the bigger baby face in the situation, but I can see them doing that at some point But at the same time the people are glad and happy to see punk back and so the but they're interested in this And says story is you abandoned this place ten years ago And you'd spent that time trying to tear it down and slander to everybody It's my home and the talent or My brothers and sisters and I'm gonna protect the fans from people like you. Yeah, he says I With every fiber of my being I hate you. I wish he just said I loathe you Loathe you from hell's heart Everybody said but if you're gonna be part of the WWE I want you on raw because the truth always comes out and this is your last chance either you're gonna self-destruct And blow up and you'll be done or if I miracle you have changed and you've got enough Enough gas left in your tank or whatever Maybe then you're gonna fight me for the world title and I'll Expose you for a fraud and show you that I'm the best in the world And the whole time punk is just look at at him and sitting there and taking it. Yeah And then he says are you punk says are you are you done? Then that's your one pass to talk to me disrespectfully and get away with it is frivolously if you will and Then it he called punk called for Adam Pearce today Just to let you know see him punk Is entering the Royal Rumble And when I win maybe it's you that I'm gonna be coming after because remember we were Speculating if you will mental masturbation Who if he wins the rumble he might challenge and Let's face it So far the real champion and everybody's mind is Roman Reigns, but if you've got Seth Rollins and now see him punk Punk was to win that then you're starting to make a case for it. Maybe yeah but anyway point is they they then Left in a huff as they say and that was 15 minutes and It wasn't boring for one of the first times in raw history Segment leaves you wanting more. I'll say this about Rollins. I Think he does one of the best serious faces there when he's not talking when he's not laughing either him just looking dead on at the person and Obviously being angry or him slightly smirking. That's so effective Yeah, and the fact that when punk says that you're one free shot Mm-hmm break into like just hysterical laughter or something. Yeah, no He would have had to have done something it played out perfectly and yeah leaves you wanting more and It leaves you wanting Rollins versus punk at some point that like I said if they give us more serious Seth Rollins I'm here for it Me personally that gimmick. It's kind of run its course the whole dancing Flamboyantness all that that's cool. It was cool Not my cup of tea, but I think give us a serious Seth Rollins because he knows if I'm him Character-wise storyline wise. I need to turn it up Because I know CM Punk is he's that guy that's gonna try to take this championship for me So I gotta show why I'm the best in the world. I gotta stop playing around. Let's go and stop be yes That's how I would do it if character-wise if I'm booked in that situation I'm gonna turn it up a little bit And it shows that effect that CM Punk has now so it's not joking around Now he's proving he's trying to prove a point to someone at the expense of everybody else So I don't know see what they do with that though. I can I can see both of those guys for obviously for the same reason of wanting to get the thing over both of those guys realizing or knowing that Seth can't really cackle too much over this if he really fucking hates the guy Which is the point of the whole thing. He's he wouldn't be doing his whole yeah, you know He would be the boogeyman handsome Jimmy Valiant with the fucking eye patch ongoing and I will instead of whoo, let's say So hopefully we'll get more of that And punk in the rumble again, they have Cody announced for the rumble that punk announced for the rumble I think we knew punk was gonna be in the rumble as soon as you know We saw him, but I you know at least he's he's come out and said it My gosh with over a month to promote it imagine that He's gonna be working a couple of house shows already announced MSG and I think one in California Do you have him wrestle on TV before the run? I asked you this before you haven't wrestled before the rumble You said no, I believe they already announced that he's supposed to be right a wrestling and Dominic Mysterio I think on this upcoming Monday night raw So he probably will wrestle but before they get into the gym gets into his point I would at least have him wrestle each once Definitely and I think Dominic would be the perfect person for him to wrestle because we all love to see Dominic get beat up So I believe that's the rumor match, but even if that wasn't a rumored match I would still at least be cool with him wrestling once For sure, you know, so that way people can who haven't seen see him punk wrestle in a long time And who didn't watch AEW see him back on WWE television wrestling as well. That could be a good thing Why would you and now they announced it for house shows? Well, but that's okay We should have put a finer point on that question I will I still would not have him wrestle on television before the rumble unless it is And let me let me go back on that now as I'm saying it If it was a perfect opportunity with an opponent that You know, he could just shine with a little short something and somebody run into something physical Whatever the fuck if they're doing an angle That's fine. I would not give a legitimate main event Top restaurant quality. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No for sure way on free television before the rumble, but a match to Reassure the people in their mind that he can still go because they haven't seen him And I think that's the match that supposed to be having with Dominic That's why Dominic's in that in that situation because Dominic can always take a loss Because people hate him so much and he'll still be over 10 years And what the fuck he can do and then maybe to juice something up for the rumble I could see doing that but House shows I wasn't even thinking about but in Madison Square Garden. Yeah, I'd add punk To Madison fucking square garden. They'll draw a million dollars I mean, they were going to draw close to that if not more anyway, they'll draw another Several hundred thousand probably if they add him So, yeah, the garden if it's California, Los Angeles or the greater Hollywood California market, whatever the fuck. Yes, I can see doing that but and The people there live are going to see it, but that doesn't spoil anything related to a nationally televised pay-per-view Well, Jim, they say that CM punk is straight edge. In fact, he says it In fact, he uses the straight edge of a knife to cut Shake for dinner The segue into the sponsorship Fucking crazy. But yeah, man Over they enjoyed it as I expected them to highlight of this previous Monday Night Raw I mean CM punk Seth Rollins We're waiting for our full course meal when it happens at WrestleMania. I think that's the story they're going with I think that's the story they should go with. You don't need to do anything. We're roman right now Build towards that tease that We have plenty of time for that Don't have to rush that but Seth Rollins, CM punk It's time me up like I always say comment down below Let me know man some other videos you guys want me to check out Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel row 200 video camera I'm still getting speedy youtube wrestling champion of the world.
