Punk loves Kofi and still considers him a friend; they had a great tag team for a time

[HDI_]

I love how he even thought kofi should’ve won during his (Cm Punk) prime.

[regalpanda]

"Should have happened 10 years ago" yup.

[voiceoverduleey]

He’s wearing a shirt of his wife... Respect and love

[jasongodfrey]

Punk is 150% correct Kofi should've been World Champion 10 years better late than never right 😁

Yes I disagree with a comedy act getting a world title run but Kofi had more then enough success in his solo career to make up for it. He was booked strong and as a fighting champion during his run, even going over after Randy who cost him a main event run all those years ago. Storytelling wise, that was fantastic and really showed faith from management in him. Also guy had been busting his ass for 10+ years now and is part of one the most over acts right now. Love him or hate him, agree or disagree, Kofi deserved it and was one of the few to be able to take the ball and run with it

The best thing about kofi's title win was it didn't happen last year so it felt more organic. Daniel being the antagonist was perfect, considering he was in kofi's spot so it was full circle for him as well.

I don't know of anyone who has a bad word to say about Kofi Kingston.

I've met a few people who have worked with Kofi, even if just for a short time, and all of them said he was a great dude, super nice, super respectful.

Even though his title run was booked as an afterthought, the moment of him winning was the main highlight of that wrestlemania.

Great to see CM Punk supporting his friend Kofi Kingston, they were a great tag team, enjoyed their 2008 tag title reign 😊

[DHGlee]

CM Punk is just repeating everything everyone said when it happened.

[Iffeany]

I'll admit I shared tears and full of excitement when kofi won, best feel wm moment

[devenlee]

I tell you this guy CM Punk is just fuckin awesome, in & outside the ring

[MelissaHash]

Gotta love the Punk n' Kofi love there! Mad respect to both dudes! Hope that one day Kofi gets to be a 2x WWE Champ baybay!!!

[mattd]

I remember seeing Kofi and Punk live as tag team champs. 08 I wanna say

[jamirimaj]

1:06 "Thank you noted food critic" damn that was a great foreshadowing for eventual sweets critic CM Punk

[MMRadioMX]

We have wwe ice cream bars at our Walmart. They DO have it!?

[benwaller]

This is the best like to dislike ratio I've ever seen

[timkruse]

Kofi was crazy over during his feud with randy orton in 2009

[azureflame]

ironic that punk does this interview for starrcast a year ago and all over the back as well shows AEW ALL OUT

2021 CM Punk returns to wrestling, debuting in AEW and his first wrestling match since 2014 will be September 5th, AEW ALL OUT!

I just fucking love this, it's like Punk was trying to advertise under the radar and we had no idea lol

CM Punk has the balls to say things that nobody has the balls to say.
