00:00Making his way to the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 222 pounds, C.M.
00:27The second City Saint has come home.
00:36Two of C.M. Punk's childhood friends, Scott and Chris, are here in attendance tonight.
00:39They told me earlier that Punk has always been a conflicted, determined, and impossible-to-ignore personality.
00:45I'll tell you all my childhood friends, Tom and Jerry are here tonight, too, King.
00:49But nonetheless, it's been a rough week for C.M. Punk.
00:53What about this past Friday night on SmackDown, he felt the big knockout punch from the big show.
00:58Well, basically, it's the heavy right hand of the Giant versus the hometown advantage of the straight-edge Second City
01:04Saint, C.M. Punk.
01:09It's the rain, from the way from yesterday, Toronto's in my eyes!
01:18I'm, I'm, quite frankly, I'm surprised by this reception.
01:22Why?
01:22I mean, is this entire city drinking Punk's Kool-Aid or what?
01:27I don't get it.
01:29We're still trying to get back to the game.
01:33Let's go!
01:34We're still trying to get back to the game.
01:53I love Chicago.
02:03I love the parks, I love Navy Pier, I love the skyline.
02:10I love the museums, I love the history, I love Chicago!
02:23What I hate, what I hate, what I despise is the inhabitants of Chicago.
02:33Chicago!
02:34Chicago!
02:36You!
02:38You!
02:40You!
02:41You!
02:41Ruined my beautiful city!
02:45You!
02:47You!
02:48You middle-class, lazy teamsters!
02:51You corrupt politicians!
02:54You corrupt police officers!
02:57The horrible, horrible Chicago White Sox!
03:05The Susie Homemakers, who fatten up their children with fast food and then eat a bottle of pills and pass
03:13out on the couch!
03:14The out-of-work dads!
03:16You people, make me sick!
03:26I'm proud to live here.
03:27I'm proud to be from here.
03:28I am not proud to live amongst people like you.
03:31You are the scum of the earth and you have ruined a beautiful city that for a second time should
03:38be burned to the ground!
03:41Wow!
03:41And in its ashes, I and I alone will build a straight-edge utopia!
03:48This guy's nuts!
03:50Hey, you ever think something happened to CM Punk in his life that to make him this way?
03:54And speaking of fat people that nobody likes, we all, we all saw the Big Show knock me out with
04:02his big stupid ham fist!
04:07And yet, unlike all of you, I don't run away!
04:11I stand here on my own two feet and I stand here defiant!
04:15I stand here confident!
04:17This is my house!
04:19And I run from nobody!
04:24Not any of you!
04:26Not somebody that's a foot taller!
04:27Not somebody that outweighs me by 250 pounds!
04:32Tonight, I am David!
04:34And Big Show, he could be Goliath!
04:37And my slingshot!
04:39Is the power of Almighty Straight Edge!
04:48Well, keep telling yourself that!
04:53Well, it's a big show
05:00It's a big, bad show tonight
05:04Oh, really fun!
05:07Making his way to the ring, standing seven feet tall
05:10Lying at 485 pounds
05:14The Big Show!
05:16Because this man is truly a giant!
05:21Seven feet tall, 485 pounds
05:24Did you see him just high-fived that little girl?
05:26His hand like a shoulder hit!
05:28Well, listen, you know, you ever talk to The Big Show?
05:31He's a kind and funny man
05:33Here's a guy who had to develop his personality as a child in order to fit in
05:36That's the psychology of why and how The Big Show got to be this way
05:40He was a real knucklehead as a kid
05:43Well, Goliath didn't fare too well against David
05:46But I got a feeling The Big Show might rewrite history here tonight
05:49Well, take a look at the size of The Big Show
05:51The man is an absolute giant
05:55He has an 84-inch reach
05:57His waist is 50 inches
06:0050 inches around
06:01Can you imagine that?
06:04Well, that's double my size
06:05Yeah
06:07I went out to eat with The Big Show one time
06:09They hand him the menu
06:10He said, I'll take it
06:13Well, technically CM Punk is the bully here for poking fun at the giant
06:17And with this emotionally charged return home
06:19How many people do you think are here tonight that remember being bullied
06:22And almost had animosity towards CM Punk like Brock's?
06:24Oh!
06:25And CM Punk uses his feet and legs as weapons as well as his arms and hands
06:30What about a hand?
06:31Runs into that
06:32Nuccohead
06:33Huge hand punch
06:34It's like taking a cinder block and bust it across your opponent's head
06:42And Punk looking to use his quickness here
06:44Let's keep in mind CM Punk is a three-time world champion
06:47A two-time money-in-the-bank winner
06:49And also CM Punk has been using the Anaconda Vice submission hold
06:52You have to believe that Punk realizes that he can get that submission hold on The Big Show
06:56If Punk can avoid being knocked out
06:58Now let's don't forget one other thing about Punk
07:00What's up?
07:01He's nuts!
07:03That rant we just listened to
07:04Saw that huge 22-5e boop in the jaw of Punk
07:08Man, I got a question
07:09Yes
07:09Shhh shhh
07:11Oh!
07:11Oh!
07:12Right out of the ring
07:14Welcome to Chicago
07:16And Big Show the man who
07:19Ripped that mask off of CM Punk a few months ago
07:22Look out guys, I think
07:23The Big Show may be coming this way
07:24Punk's bald head to the world
07:26Thank you
07:28Is on the attack again
07:30Matt
07:30Yes
07:31Does CM Punk blame Big Show
07:32For the dissolution of his straight edge society?
07:35I don't think so
07:36I think CM Punk blames the actual society for being weak
07:39Watch out!
07:40Oh!
07:41What a knee to the jaw!
07:42That's what Punk had to do!
07:43Down goes The Big Show
07:46Man, that was...
07:50Oh!
07:50And Punk is!
07:51Oh!
07:52Three!
07:52Say what you want, but CM Punk is a world class athlete
07:56And nuts!
07:58I told you he was nuts, you gotta be nuts to try a move like that
08:00But what strategy though?
08:02He takes out Big Show while he's down outside the ring
08:05Perhaps leading to a count out victory for Punk here
08:09Take a look at the athleticism, the desire, and the sacrifice of CM Punk
08:13Well I gotta admit, that's an extraordinary move right there
08:16It also shows you the respect that Punk has for the Giant
08:18Going to all lengths
08:21And the referee
08:22Referee up to a count of what, six?
08:24Seven!
08:25On the count of seven, Big Show's in trouble
08:27Gotta try to pull that big frame back into the ring
08:30And CM Punk thinks he's gonna win this via count out
08:32Big Show back to his feet
08:33And he will slip in under the bottom rope before the count of ten
08:37Pump it right back on the attack
08:39Punk is gonna get very aggressive right now
08:43Well he's gonna have to stay aggressive at this point
08:45If you ever...
08:46If you're ever lucky enough to somehow get the Big Show down
08:49Oh!
08:51That could crack some ribs!
08:52Well that will stall momentum quickly
08:56With an elbow to the back of the neck
08:58And into the cover, trying to put the big man away
09:01Kicks out even before the referee can get in position
09:03Cover yet again
09:04And again a kick out before a count of one
09:06Punk a third time
09:08Well you know, you know something
09:09It takes a lot to kick 225 or 230 pounds off you three times in succession
09:13It's a wise strategy for the Punk
09:15Yeah, but Matt, you're not talking about a normal guy here
09:16You're talking about a giant of a man
09:19Who weighs 485 pounds
09:20He can toss CM Punk around the ring ten times
09:22So, I credit CM Punk
09:24For trying everything
09:26You just hear that?
09:27It sounds like an M80 going off
09:29Kicks, who's the largest superstar you've ever been in the ring with?
09:32Of course
09:33Andre the Giant
09:34Andre, what was it like?
09:35What did you have to do to beat Andre?
09:38What do you mean?
09:38Are you kidding?
09:39Nobody beat Andre
09:40There you go
09:40Here we go
09:41Cover by Punk
09:42Two counts
09:43Kick out
09:43So to my point, you have to be impressed with CM Punk at this point in context
09:46Well yeah, I mean if you're
09:48Like I said, if you're ever fortunate enough to get the big show down like he is right now
09:52You have to stay aggressive
09:53You have to try to maintain that momentum
09:55And hope you can finally wear this giant down
09:58The problem though with Punk, Matt, is that you know this
10:00The main way he wins matches is with the GTS to go to sleep
10:03So he's got to pick this big man off his feet
10:05However, he does have another way
10:07Right, and I alluded to it earlier to the point is that the Anaconda Vice submission hold
10:11And CM Punk is actually a very bright superstar
10:14He has a submission hold that can be put on the smallest and largest superstar
10:17And that usually equates success in the WWE
10:19Punk top rope
10:20Oh, Big Show!
10:21What a tackle!
10:22Woo-hoo-hoo!
10:25Shades of Brian Urlacher
10:27What a tackle by Big Show
10:29Knocking Punk out of mid-air
10:31CM Punk may have fractured ribs after that
10:34Talk about a cruise missile colliding with a person
10:38I don't know how there's any air left in the lungs of Punk
10:40Right hand is cocked
10:42Look out!
10:43Big Show with a knockout punch
10:44Punk was vulnerable
10:46No clue where he was at
10:48And Big Show puts Punk away with a giant win
10:52Here is Big Show
10:55Here is your winner
10:56The Big Show!
11:05Well, Punk able to erase the smile from the face of the Big Show
11:09With all that...
11:10All those kicks
11:12Looks like some damage to his chest
11:14But still Big Show with that huge right hand
11:18Just knocks out CM Punk
11:20And this is where the Big Show turned things around
11:22Oh!
11:24Man!
11:25Well, it just goes to show you that anyone has a puncher's chance
11:27I don't care how tough you think you are
11:29If you get laid out like that, you're going down
11:32Yeah!
11:32One!
11:34One!
11:34One!
11:34And I think CM Punk is still...
11:39Unconscious...
11:39As Big Show celebrates his victory
11:46what a win for the big show at night of champions
