KO was like "I've been dealing with them for the last 4 years. You've only been dealing with them on and off for the last two and now you want to be buddy/buddy with Roman"? :what:

After rewatching....


Cm Punk vs. Drew HIAC is Austin vs. Bret WM13 Tier of quality matches.


Top 20 All Time WWE match, and I don't say that lightly.

I would be splitting hairs on which one I think is objectively better, but I lean Austin vs. Bret since it heavily influenced this match.

This is the modern Bret vs. Austin for a new generation.

If their goal before doing this match was to be Austin vs. Bret. They succeeded and overachieved it.

Completely cement Drew as a top attraction.

Nah Punk looks old and looks like someone who couldn't whoop anybody under the age of 40yo...

Match was good but definitely not top 20 all time :dead:

And how you saying it's top 20.. if it's neck and neck with Austin vs Brett, then it's gotta be top 5 match of all time and I'm not letting you get away with that dawg

Well they did a call back with that sharpshooter spot so I'd say they likely did have that match in mind.

I think it’s dope how Punk had tributes to Bret and Shawn through his attires at Summerslam and Bad Blood where the gimmicks of his matches were the same as Bret/Shawn’s vs Taker

SS - Bret themed to represent Bret vs Taker at SS with Shawn as special ref
BB - Shawn themed to represent Shawn vs Taker at BB in HIAC

I was just about to post about how Punk incorporated the heart logo and colors of HBK's gear from the first HIAC at Badd Blood as a tribute.

Good eye.

A good look at it
